Her story is one that might happen to any working woman. Her life is as troubled, and her worries as great as the next, Josephine’s father and mother came to America from Germany when Josephine was only eight years old. “You see, I'm more American than German. I’m 48 now, and I've spent 40 years in America,” she said. Her father rented a small farm in Jersey. Josephine was the youngest in a family of ten children. The older girls and boys left home, and she and those that remained “had to work hard just to make the rent.” In the summer she worked in the fields. All the year round she cleaned house, cooked, Crop failures, taxes, the hard life of the American tenant farmer, were all known to Josephine. And “worst of all,” Josephine said, “I never had anyone to talk to. It was lonely. My big brothers and sis- ters left home to work in the cities. My mother died, and my father got married again, and I had a step- mother. She also had children. And I didn’t like to clean after her chil- dren, and I didn’t like to be bossed around in the house that used to be ours, so I left home when I was six- teen.” Josephine came to New York.

And I've worked for a long time.” General Strike Voted for Knit Goods | Industry NEW YORK.—With women en- thusiastically cheering, 600 knit goods workers unanimously voted for a general strike at a mass meeting called Thursday at Irving Plaza, by the Knit Goods Department of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union. There are about 15,000 work- ers in the industry. The vote followed discussion of the general strike call made by the Knit Goods Organizer, Rappaport, in which worker followed worker presenting views for and against the strike. Rappaport spoke first outlining the history of struggle the union has gone through. He showed how the bosses use every weapon possible to crush the militant organization of the work- ers. He pointed out the danger from the three unions, the United Textile Workers, the International Ladies Garment Workers, and the Amal- gamated, that have entered the field| and suddenly become the “friends” of the workers. and was greeted with enthusiastic roporter in turn assured him that he, too, had seen those records and that Price's recollection wes inaccu- rate, the records which were supposed to have been returned to Welfare Island appeared mysteriously in his desk. They were necessary to check the reporter's memory. The reporter failed Price said: “The guard who was supposed to have struck Shahian and assaulted Matthews was among them.” “Took Warden's Word,” of Course! ‘Did you check on the official rec- ords to determine whether those guards were actually on duty on the days Shahian says the assaults took Place?” the reporter asked. “Why, no,” Price returned. the warden’s word for it.” “But suppose the warden is in- volved in this suppression of crime?” the reporter persisted. “The wardens impressed me as re- liable men,” the district attorney re- turned. Regarding the testimony that James M. Naira, a Harts Island pris- oner, gave to the effect that he was the one who knocked out Shahian’s teeth and that he had slept on the cot alongside Shahian’s the reporter asked: “Did you check on the officials records whether Naira actually slept even in the same dormitory with Shahian?” “I haven't seen those records,” Prive returned. “I took Warden Breen’s statement for it that Naim Slept alongside Shahian,” All Kinds of Records The hospital records dealing with Shahian's injury and Matthews’ death are recorded on loose-leaf sheets. The dentist's record on Harts Island is alleged to contain Shahian’s signature that he fell on the stairs “I took picture mats of huskies going through the box drill, tackling high, tackling low, shaking hands with the prominent alumnus or last year’s star quarterback, Stanford, it is intrigu- ingly hinted, has a 280-pound ball carrier under wraps.

I'm going over to the Island again on Monday.” “Did you get the name of the doc- tor who first ordered Matthews sent to Correction Hospital?” “T don’t think I haye it.” “But it must be on the records. There must be a transfer order.” This time it was quite obvious that the assistant district attorney did not want to touch on this. He was very busy about it, but after persistent questioning by the re- porter he found that he did have the record of the doctor, Isidor Firschein, who had ordered Mat- thews’ transwer, Dr. Firschein, ac- solutely no recollection of the Mat- thews case.” “Where is Dr. Firschein?” “I hayen't the slightest idea.” “How did you get in touch with him?” “Oh, let me see.

By terms of the set~ tlement the workers have won a min- imum wage scale of $1 an hour for skilled workers, Polishers will get a weekly wage of $43; solderers, $46; die setters, $48 and platers, $60 for a 40-hour week. The shop committee was recognized and only union men are to be hired. Workers of the Sol Levine Shop who had been unable to force any concessions from the boss after the general strike came out on strike this week and won their demands for a 40-hour week, for time and a ‘third for overtime, for @ minimum of $17 @ week with increase of ten per cent for those receiving more than this amount up to $30 and 5 per cent for those earning over $30. The union Was recognized and assurance of no discrimination against the strikers made. The workers are solidly back of the union worked so hard and got so little. “The last place I worked at was four years ago. I was a janitress in an apartment house on 89th St. and York Ave. A’ Mr. Baumgarten was the agent. I had two rooms, and got two or three dollars a month. I did so much for them. I cleaned the cel~ lar, and swept the sidewalks; 1 chopped wood, and filled two cellars full of wood. And what did I get... nothing for it... nothing. “The cellar was full of water. Thad to sweep the water out, It took me three days to do it. I nearly died. I ruined my shoes. They came apart because they were so wet. The place was a cold water apartment.

Pocket Book Strikers Arrested; AFL Union Head Supplies Scabs NEW YORK.—After she had been beaten by the boss of the I. Crystal pocket book shop, Kathleen, one of the strikers was arrested on a charge of assault, when she tried to defend herself. Another striker, Tony, was also arrested on a trumped up charge, The workers had struck against the low wages, The boss promised a minimum wage of $14.50, but when the workers returned, he only offered $9.60. At this treachery the shop went out again, ‘Wednesday morning Kathleen, came to t“e shop to get the rest of the workers out, when she was attacked by the boss, who pushed a case into her and punched her in the chest. He then called a cop who arrested the irl, The other striker Tony, accused of attempting to shut off the power, was also arrested. Both were re- leased on hail. When the International Pocket Book saill to | ize Workers organizer advised. the strik- ers to plead guilty, the workers call- ed upon the ILD for aid. In the meantime the union organ- yr signed an agreement with the and sent up scabs, boss ing with an inmate,” Price said his testimony showed, the ate, course, being the convict Nairn. “What does the actual hospital rec- ord show?” the reporter persisted. “That he was struck by an in- mate,” the district attorney returned, “That's what the doctor testified.” “Didn't you examine the official record? And doesn’t it say several inmates?” The official record was Dunted up in the district attorney's It said “a few inmates.” Price did not ac- count for the discrepancy. Regarding the Matthews murder Price stated that his attorney shows that there were four guards in the area where the assault is said to have taken place, and that he had those four guards in the line up for Sha- hian to identify. “Did you check the official records to find that those four men were really on duty on the day of the mur- der and that they were in the sec- tion where Shahian saw the kill the Negro?” the reporter 4 A. McCann told “Warden Jose] me those were the guards that day, 80 I did not check the records my- self,” the investigating district attor- ney said. “There were other prisoners there, according to Shahian, when the mur- der was committed.
