The women workers, stood, will now make a new appeal to the individual International Uni- ons for membership, backed by a declaration adopted by the Denver convention of the Federation calling upon International Unions that do not admit we workers to mem- bership to g¢ arly consideration for such adm it is under- ——<»——- ALLEGED BOOZE FACTORY ON CANAL ST.
