Show GIRLS ON STRIKE GIVE KISSES TO HELP FUND Special Cable to Tiio Tribune. I GLASGOW, Oct. 1. Selling kisse at I a shilling a kiss lias been discovered to be a satisfactory way of increasing the war chest by a hundred girls employed at Ncllston Bleach works, Ranfrewshlrc, who are at present on strike for better i conditions. The girls hit upon the plan of touring tour-ing Renfrewshire during the week-end in small bands with collecting boxes. When a party of them reached Glasgow an old Highlander in charge of a weighing weigh-ing machine at Broomlelaw thought he saw an opportunity for improving tho occasion. "Look here, my lassies," he said hailing hail-ing them, ."you know how tho Duchess of Gordon rained the famous regiment of 'Killies.' To every man who took the shilling she gave a kiss. If one of you give me a kiss I'll drop a shilling In your box.' Promptly one of the girls accepted his challenge, and the exchange was duly made. The cue was thus given, the game was played by them afterwards with great success. |
