Paterson, New Jersey – General Strike Committee to Establish Relief Station
From The Paterson Evening News of March 18, 1913:
Realizing that the ultimatum of the manufacturers and their decision not to confer with the strikers in any way, means either a defeat for the present strike movement or a long fight, the General Strike Committee of the Textile Workers of Paterson has decided to begin at once raising funds for the purpose of caring for the needy workers and their families in order that those now on strike may be able to live until the manufacturers awake to a realization of the fact that the mills are going to remain closed until the strikers get some recognition of their demands.
The following circular is being mailed broadcast to labor organizations throughout the country and it is expected that by the beginning of the week funds will commence flowing in.

“AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN JURY TO ALL.”
SILK STRIKERS STRIKE AND RELIEF FUND.
HEADQUARTERS, TURN HALL, PATERSON, N. J.
TO ALL WAGE EARNERS AND FRIENDS OF LABOR:
Over 25,000 silk workers in Paterson are out on strike today for better conditions and a living wage. We are struggling against the manufacturers in a fight for living conditions. Our fight that we must win if we are to be able to live and to provide for our wives and children.
The Manufacturers’ Association of Paterson is a wealthy organisation, stacked by wealthy interests. It is a fight of the workers against the bosses and against unlivable conditions.
We have no one to appeal to for help except our brother workers, and those outside interests who believe in fair play for the workingman and we now make that appeal,
Every dollar that is raised will feed some hungry mouth and strengthen some willing worker to keep up the fight against unfair conditions.
To all workingmen and to all lovers of the square deal we make this appeal. The time to answer it is NOW. We need your help, WILL YOU GIVE IT.
SIGNED,
RELIEF COMMITTEE.GENERAL STRIKE COMMITTEE
TEXTILE WORKERS OF PATERSON, N. J.———-
In addition to this a subscription will be taken locally and food and money will be gratefully received, donations may be made outright or subscriptions made to pay any desired amount a week during the progress of the strike.
The News will acknowledge receipt of all monies sent in and also other donations.
The General Relief Committee is headed by Frederick Jenny as chairman, and they have established permanent headquarters in Turn hall.
The announcement is made that the strikers expect to be able to take care of all those who are in immediate need.

Rochester, New York – Ida Braeman, 17-Year-Old Striker, Shot Down by Boss
From the Chicago Day Book of February 6, 1913:
KILLS GIRL STRIKER WITH SHOT GUN
Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 6.-Ira Braeman, 17 years old, was shot and killed in cold blood by Valentine Sauter here last night.
Ida Braeman was a girl of the garment workers’ strike. Sauter is a clothing manufacturer.
Every labor union in Rochester will unite in the effort to push the charge of murder in the first degree against Sauter.
Sauter was in his shop when a group of strikers gathered outside and called to the strikebreakers within to quit work and join them.
Sauter picked up a shotgun and went to a window. He fired point-blank into the little group of girl strikers.
Ida Braeman was killed instantly; three others were wounded.
Sauter’s shot scattered the strikers, but when they saw the body of Ida Braeman lying in the street they came back, and only the arrival of the police prevented Sauter’s shop being torn down about his head. On the way to the station, the police had to use their clubs to protect the man.
Sauter says he fired because he thought his property was in danger.
