NEW YORK BLOUSEMAKERS.
A NEW ENTERPRISE,
Received January 13, 8.30 a.m. NEW YORK, January 12. Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of Mr Pierpont Morgan, the millionaire, is opening a factory, to employ ten thousand unionist blousemakers. A quarter of a million sterling is being invested in the enterprise.
,A large number of blousemakers in New York and Philadelphia recently struck for higher wages and better conditions of employment. The movement was actively supported by the society ladies. Mrs Belmont, Miss Morgan, and several other wealthy New Yorkers joined the Blousemakers' Union. Miss Morgan, at a plutocrats' meeting, declared there was something wrong if women could only earn thirty-two shillings weekly. Many-New York ladies boycotted nonunion blouses, and the ladies of Coulmbia University patrolled the strike districts and prevented the arrest of strikers.
