MR.. AUTLER, OF NEW YORK, HERE
Trying to Discourage Sale of This
Class of Manufac.
lures.

Samuel Autler, of New York, gen.
eral treasurer of the United Garment
Workers of America. and represent
ing the Amalgamated Association of
Garment Cutters, is in the city, con-
ferring with merchants for the pur-
pose of discouraging the sale of sweat
shop manufactures. Much to his
qualification. he finds that little of
this character of goods is carried by
local dealers. OF the three cities he
says Davenport handles the most.
Few of the larger dealers in the
community, Mr.. Autler learns upon
investigation. purchase clothing
turned out of the sweat shops. In
the majority of the cases it is the
smaller dealer. upon whose counters
are found the goods that are manu-
featured in the shops of New York,
wherein are employed many of the
poor women and children OF the me-
tropolis.
Merchants Agreeable.
Those of the merchants who have
been talked with on the matter and
made acquainted with the operations
of the sweat shops have received Mr..
Autler's overture s favorably and he
does not anticipate there will be
much difficulty in Kidding the three
cities absolutely of this quality of
manufactures. Mr.. Autler states the
best proof that garment is not the
product of the sweat shop is the pres
ence of the union label.
Mr. Autler expects TO meet the
president of the Garment Workers
here.

At present there seems a good probability
mat there will soon be an Improvement
in one of Gardeners list of industries
IL mas been learned from a reliable
source that the International Paper Co,
which recently purchased the sulphite
mill OF the Richards Paper Co. at South
Gardiner. are considering the advisability
OF doubling the capacity Of the plant if
satisfactory arrangements regarding val.
uatlon can be made with the city of Gar
diner. And ii is also learned that should
such an agreement be completed that
there is but little doubt that the works
would also be supplemented by the cree
ton OF a large paper mill at the same
place. The present suIphite mill gives
employment TO % or 100 men, and it car
be readily seen that the proposed i'm
provements would be of material advan-
tage to the city.
No action in the matter has vet beer
taken. but Journal reporter interviewed
Mayor Patten upon the subject, and that
official expressed himself as in favor of
the agreement, provided. of course that
the international Paper Co would give
the city a satisfactory guarantee as ia
what they would do. The present admin
istration. under the leadership of Mayor
Patten, have managed the city's affairs
throughout the past year in perfect ac-
cordance with business principles. and
nave maintained the reputation for push
