Italian Laborers Strike at Tacoma, Washington

A peculiar strike at Tacoma, Wash., is mentioned in a press despatch of June 25. About two hundred Italian laborers for the Tacoma Railway and Power Company, who were on strike for a raise of wages, marched to a point where some Americans were at work and ordered them to quit also. Fifteen of the men obeyed. Each Italian carried a red rose in his hand or teeth, or wore it in his hat or coat. People are wondering what is the significance of the red rose.
