Chicago, April 2lt-Discord has

strike. AZ n meeting OF tho garment
workers union early this morning, II
was decided 10 break away from the

the garment workers declared that
the present sympathetic strike Of the
teamsters against Montgomery Ward

OF the garment workers was ~fruitless
and that nothing was to be gained by
remaining with the teamsters. Should
the transfers decide to extend the
strike the garment workers said tat
they would be glad TO again cooperate
with them. This decision OF the gar
ment workers is likely to put an end
TO the present controversy as the
teamsters have no grievances, having
merely quit work in an effort to as
