INTIMIDATION NOT THE WAY T0 SETTLE STRIKE Judge Kirkham Advises Girls “Arrested For Violence at Corbin’s “The female of the species is more deadly than the male.” The fore- going quotation from Rudyard Kipling ‘was forcibly brought out in police court this morning when three female strikers from the P. & F. Corbin fac- tory were arraigned for intimidating and assaulting Eva Peros, an em- ploye who is “not listed among' the strikers. = The accused, Mrs. Mary Shufski, aged 28, and the Misses Sophie Kopnofski and Nora Boswick, aged 16 and 18 respectively, were each found guflty by Judge John H. Kirk- . ham and were each fined $7 and costs, A sentence of two months in jail was also’ imposed, but execution was sus- | pended during good behavior. In pronouncing sentence Judge Kirkham read the riot act to the three women, telling them they must under- stand that they “must not intimidate | or try to intimidate any who are working. ‘That is the poorest way to accomplish”what you are after.” Yesterday noon as Miss Peros, es- corted by Charles Palmer and Peter Heradum, left.the P. & F. Corbin fac- tory she was accosted at the corner of EIm and Park streets by the’three ! girls. The testimony of the- vietim, her twe companjons and of John F, Burns, a druggist in a néarby store, who saw the entire fracas, was that the trio attacked the Peros girl and pulled her hat off. Blows were also struck and at least two stones were thrown at the girl. Mrs. Shufski was .charged specifically with throwing the stone and Sophie Kopnoski, it was ‘alleged, threatened the Poros girl and tried to induce her to fight. It was stated that had it not been for the two men with her, the girl would have; ‘been roughly handled by the trium- virate. All three of the trio demed using’ violence and said they simply asked the girl not to return to work as long as they were on a strike. They declared that it was Miss Peros who organized the ‘strikers and who lad them out last Friday. .Then sHe changed her mind and returned ;o ‘work on Monduy, they said. 5 ANOTHER IEP.
