FINE WEATHER FOR JANITORS
THE ONES ON STRIKE!
This is fine weather for striking
janitors. In 25 loop office buildings,
corridors and office floors were wet
and thick with mud because the jan
itors are on strike. Tenants are com
plaining of wet feet from office
floors, dirty windows and dusty fur
niture. The new members of the "in bad"
club of organized labor are: National
Life, Stock Exchange, Lumber Ex
change, First National Bank, Mason
ic Temple, Firmenich, Steger, Chi
cago Telephone, Commonwealth
Edison, Corn Exchange, McCormick
and Mailers bldgs.
The People's Life Insurance bldg.
is trying to beat the strikers by hir
ing women to do the work of the
men janitors, it was reported at
union headquarters today. If this is
true, a movement will be started to
put this insurance company on the
unfair list of all the unions in Chi
cago. The union sent one of its members
to the Conway bldg. last night to hire
out as a strikebreaker. He got a job
and as soon as he got inside he
brought out 21 strikebreakers and
made union men of them.
The janitors who were not mem
bers of the union have nearly all
come in and joined within the last
48 hours.
The janitors called a strike on the
building in which their own offices
are located, the Firmenich, Washing
ton and Fifth av.
