Settlement offer for garment strike faces skepticism
Lucian Scott Breckinridge of the Mutual Cloak Suit and Skirt Manufacturers Association proposes a public arbitration board to settle the strike with the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. Mayor Mitchel would appoint the chair, but Benjamin Schlesinger doubts the move as a ruse and investigations into Mutual’s members begin. A $10,000 donation from the Jewish Socialistic Federation funds ongoing union relief efforts as delegates plan to continue assessments until the strike ends. Police dispersed a picket line of about 18,000 strikers at Madison Avenue with arrests of 11 members.
