Don't stand in front of the shop; walk up and down the block.
Don't stop the person you wish to talk to; walk along side of him. Don't get excited and shout when you are talking. Don't put your hand on the person you are speaking to. Don't touch his sleeve or button. This may be construed as a "technical assault." Don't call any one "scab" or use abusive language of any kind. Plead, persuade, appeal, but do not threaten. If a policeman arrest you and you are sure that you have committed no offense, take down his number and give it to your Union officers.] [Footnote 16: In the factories where the Russian and Italian girls worked side by side, their feeling for each other seems generally to have been friendly. After the beginning of the strike an attempt was made to antagonize them against each other by religious and nationalistic appeals. It met with little success. Italian headquarters for Italian workers wishing organizations were soon established. Little by little the Italian garment workers are entering the Union.] [Footnote 17: Extract from the court stenographer's minutes of the proceedings in the Per trial.] [Footnote 18: Therese Malkiel, December 22.] CHAPTER III |
