press rate works to our disadvantage .
California fruits get rate of four

pay four and half cents. We should,
at least, be on an equal footing with
California. / have no doubt that when
this matter is explained to the Wells
Fargo people the rate. will be equitably
adjusted

noon for Santa Fe and from here he
will visit Albuquerque, Socorro ahd

Tailors today that between 5000 and
1000 coat makers in Greater New

the basters, trimmers, etc. The strike
seems to have been precipitated by
hundred pressers, who made demand
for piece-work, ten hours day and 20
per cent increase in tl e scale. Coat
makers are opposed to the piece-work
system. BY striking they expect to
force the pressers to desist from making
