PETITION ASKS THAT COURTS
BE FORBIDDEN TO ENJOIN
PEACEFUL PICKETING
Signed by several hundred "neu
trals,", a long petition asking the
legislature to pass a law forbidding
the courts from enjoining peaceful
picketing of shops where a strike is
on was forwarded to Springfield yes
terday. True to the predictions of Mother
Jones last Monday, the wholesale ar
rests of strikers on orders of Judges
Baldwin and Smith aroused public
opinion.
The measure they ask is very much
like the federal Clayton act.
Meanwhile a committee from the
signers of the petition are trying to
settle the strike differences between
the workers and manufacturers.
Some of the most prominent neu
trals who put their names down un
der the protest against the use of the
injunction, are: Ex-Gov. Dunne, Prof.
Ernst Freund, Bishop C. P. Anderson,

13,000 STRIKING JANITORS
PARADE IN THE LOOP
Three thousand striking office
building janitors were gathering on
Randolph st. at 2 o'clock this after
noon for a parade three streets in
the loop.
"Loop newspapers, at the behesl
of the Building Managers' ass'n,
nave been insinuating that the strike
of office janitors, window washers
and scrub women has been broken,"
said Rob't Simms, union leader, to
day. "This parade is for the purpose
of proving these insinuations un
true." The paraders were dressed in
their working clothes. The men
wore their overalls and the scrub
women wore their aprons well
worn at the knees and carried theii
scrubbrushes.
Some of the banners read:
"We Janitors Ask for but $70 a
Month."
"We're Willing to Arbitrate."
"We Want to Clean Your Build
ingst but" We've Got to Live, Too."
"Wll We Scrubwomen Want Is 25
Cents an Hour to Help Our Husbands
Pay for Potatoes."
After the parade there will be a
mass meeting at 213 N. Clark st
