You ought to be out raising hell. This is the fighting age. Put on your fighting clothes.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Wednesday November 3, 1915 From the International Socialist Review: "The Garment Workers' Strike"
From this month's edition of the Review comes an illustrated article on the Great Garment Workers' strike now being fought to a finish by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in the city of Chicago. We find a photograph of a strikers' parade, led by young women, one bearing a sign that proclaims: "We Shall Fight Until We Win." This sign was carried, along with others equally militant, as the strikers marched through the Loop District on October 12th.Other photographs document the starvation wages that the workers receive for long hours of work. On the back of those pay envelopes is the admonition from their employers: "TO SAVE IS PRUDENT." This reminds of the line from the I. W. W. tune: "If I didn't eat, I'd have money to burn."
In another set of photographs, the Chicago police can be seen bravely maintaining law and order on behalf their masters, the Manufactures' Association.
The article ends with a credit to the courage and tenacity of the Chicago Garment Strikers:
The splendid spirit of the strikers shows no signs of weakening.
