Union Calls Woman's Fight Against Strike Plot
CHICAGO Mrs. Esther Quigley a 35 year old wife amid a strike at Harrison Sheet Steel Co has warned her husband Andrew to return to work by Monday or risk losing his home.

The couple’s standoff echoes Lysistrata the ancient Greek play as Quigley pursues a payroll driven strategy urging wives to support the strike though few have joined.
