...first to abolish contract homework (1910), first to sign a collective bargaining agreement (1911), first with the camel's hair coat (1912), first to guarantee color-fastness (1915). Stressed particularly last week was the company's 26 years of industrial peace since it started to deal with Sidney Hillman's Amalgamated Clothing Workers, potent supporter of John L. Lewis's C. I. O. Laborite Hillman, who got his start as an agitating cutter in the Hart Schaffner & Marx shops in Chicago, attended the Jubilee banquet, was snapped exchanging toasts with Hart Schaffner & Marx's President...
...Joseph Schaffner's recognition of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers was no less spectacular. Any dealings with unions were regarded, particularly in Chicago, as little short of treason. In 1910 the whole clothing trade was in the midst of bloody strikes, the Hart Schaffner & Marx workers being led by Sidney Hillman.

They mumble and fumble and glare in the approved comic-strip fashion. Then there is the Cockney, who it is probably feared would lose his identity if he were allowed to very from show to show...
...years before the War, Virginia Stephen married Leonard Sidney Woolf, a liberal journalist and literary critic. Their tall house in Bloomsbury soon became the nucleus of a literary set, the "Bloomsbury Group." The Woolfs housed their Hogarth Press under the same roof. There, in "an immense half-subterranean room, piled with books, parcels, packets of unbound volumes, manuscripts from the press," Virginia Woolf wrote. Many of her friends have been politically active feminists, and from her study Virginia Woolf has done her bit for woman's cause. Her essay on the position of women stated the now-classic requisite...
