"Whoever does not wish to earn less than he is now earning, should join the Tailors' Union! In a short time, a new law will come into effect in the state of Illinois preventing women from working more than eight hours a day. Violators of this law will be subject to a fine of from three to a hundred dollars. As soon as this law goes into effect, employers will undoubtedly reduce the already small wage of shopworkers. The only safeguard against this is to organize a tailors' union for men and women and to demand a wage rate equivalent to that of a ten-hour day. Work in shops is difficult and poorly paid, for women as well as for men, and we should not allow a single penny to be taken away from us. On the contrary, we should ask for higher wages. This is a good occasion for it; if we do not take advantage of this occasion, it will be a disgrace to us, as Poles, in the eyes of other national groups that have their own unions and are not dependent upon other bosses, as are we.

"A meeting will be held at Szulc's Hall, on the corner of Cleaver and 2Division Streets, on the fifth of August at two o'clock in the afternoon for a more detailed discussion of this matter and for organization of the union.

The Committee."
