ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? CALL AGAIN, PLEASE! Johnson. She's “e “chief who joined the union pretended to acknowledge the Ameri- can right of the girls to collective bargaining. But it is a notorious fact that the company made life miserable for many of the union girls. The company did not prove a good loser. It skulked. Where it could do so safely, it sneaked up be- hind the backs of these girls and struck at them in cowardly fashion. The company acknowledged union in name only, not in deed. And so the demand of the girls for an apprentice wage of $12 to begin with and a gradual increase to $19 a week at the end of three years, is only one of the demands of the strikers today. “By far the most important demand,” declares Miss May Duffy, business agent of the striking telephone girls, ‘‘is the adjustment board. After our successful strike in November, 1917, the com- pany made life miserable for the returned work- ets. We will stand for no recurrence of these tactics, and the only way to eliminate them is by a fair and representative adjustment board.” Fair play demands that the girle win this strike.
