' .aH FIFTH YEAR CO MS FACE DEATH: Starvation and Disease Stalk Throunh Poorer Districts of Chi cago Where Garment Workers Live Milk Supply Soon Exhausted Pitiable Death Told of One Woman Who Was Forced to Feed Her Babies With Crusts Taken From Garbage Cans. CHICAGO, Jan. 9. Eight thou Kantl Infants In Chicago faco (loath from starvation nnd disease as the result of the garment workers strike, .which for four months has dragged Its length out, hero with no prospect of settlement In sight. This la tho statement today of both city authorities and union sympathiz ers, the latter of whom aro at their wits' end 1(0 obtain milk for tho ba bies In tho strikers' homes, many of whom aio already In the shadow of death from want. Last week the health authorities roported more than 100 cases of pneumonia nnd diph theria among these children, with a large number of deaths. With the I'tter exhaustion of the milk supply no less thnn a week away, if charity contributions do not lncrcnso, it is expected that cold, hunger nnd illness will quickly end the miseries of scores of1 the younger children. At least one of tho strikers, Mrs. Hose Slegelholmor, has already died of stai vntlon. For tho support of her two children with whom sho livod In a dingy basomont, tho woman had been foraging crusts from garbage cans nnd tho poor provender she found went into tho mouths of her children. When nature gave out, tho woman fell across hor miserable pal lot and sho wns found dying by her neighbors. Although removed at once to a hospital, sho wns too weak to rally, and tho only fuilt of her sacrifice Is that her babes have been taken Into tho home of another strik er.
