ABSTRACT

History is of most enthralling interest to the makers but mere onlookers display a disconcerting indifference to the process. The characteristic form of present day injustice is industrial. It is the great field to be crossed before a foot can be set by society at large on any ground named with the varied names of generosity. Many hopeful signs that it is ceasing to pass current, were observed in the clothing workers' strike of 1915 in Chicago. What made the recent clothing workers strike of 1915 a great experience to one intimately connected with it was the strength and fullness of that idealistic sense of justice and of liberty, as ends attainable here and now, to be striven for to the limit of sacrifice.
