The article focuses on the paper box makers' strike in New York City. To protest against this campaign of violence by the police the American Civil Liberties Union recently submitted to Mayor James J. Walker a brief urging an investigation of the charges made by strikers in fourteen affidavits. One striker says that a blow from a policeman knocked out his front teeth. A girl swears that she was badly bruised when an officer struck her with a chair. A policeman is accused by witnesses of chasing children from the street by brandishing his pistol. A picket states that he was dragged into a shop and there pummeled by a policeman.
