CHIGAGO SOCIETY WOMEN AS PICKETS

Novel Feature in Strike ol the Garment Workers. Society women, and settlement workers in Chicago who were appointed as pickets, took up the task of aiding the men and women garment workers out on strike against the shops of Hart, Schaffner & Marx and other tailoring establishments. While a cordon of police was thrown about the loop district to prevent any demonstration and disperse marchers, society women, dressed as workers, marched up and down the sidewalks, talked tp nonunion workers and urged them to quit. Several hundred more workers joined the strike during the morning. Many of these were employed in outlying shops of Hart. Schaffner & Marx. They were invited to attend a luncheon to be given by the members of the Women’s Trade Union league and explain their grievances. Police evidently had been warned that the settlement workers and society women had taken up the cause of the strikers. No attempt was made to prevent them from talking to employes on their way to work. The women knew their rights, having been instructed in the law by former Judge* William H. Barnum, whose daughter. Miss Gertrude Barnum, is active in the aid of the strikers. Chief of Police Steward, fearing serious trouble in the strike of the garment workers, made arrangements for larger details at the shops of Hart, Schaffner & Marx and other strikebound concerns in the loop and outlying districts. Riotous and spectacular scenes developed during the day in the big strike. In a remarkable downtown demonstration 500 men and women, Clanging bells blowing whistles, tooting horns and constantly beckoning to tailors of other clothing concerns still at work who gazed from windows along their line of march, fought the police officers, mounted and on foot. The police charged and many persons were injured. Outbreaks were reported in other parts of the city during the day.

EXPRESS DRIVERS’ STRIKE

New York, Jersey City and Hoboken Affected by the Walkout Police measures in N*w York City were mere comprehensive than ever for the preservation of order in the big strike of several thousand express company drivers, which has tied up traffic and has been accompanied by rioting. 4 Practically all the express lines of the city are involved. The ground covered by the walkout includes Jersey City, Hoboken and other territory in the metropolitan district Wagons of the companies were moved in Manhattan only through specially guarded streets and avenues designated by the police.

CORBY STATUE DEDICATED

Memorial on Gettysburg Battlefield Where Priest Won Fame. In the presence of many survivors and friends of the Irish brigade, which participated in jthe battle of Gettysburg, the memorial statue to their chaplain, Re*. Father William Corby, was unveiled and dedicated with appropriate ceremonies. The memorial statue, a bronze figure of the priest in the act of-pronounc Ing absolution to the (entire brigade, stands on the very rock on which the priest stood when, a few moments before one of the most crucial charges of the fight was to be made, he performed the religious rite which has gone down in.the history of the battle of Gettysburg as one of the most impressive incidents of the battle.
