his utterances would convince that he
is a conservative, that is, for him. In
fact, hts conservatism seems to dove

radicalisIn, and there isn't such great
chasnr between their ideas as one might
be led to believe, knowing that they
stand at the head of two warning po-
itical pagtiea On the income tax ques-
ton and the restraint of swollen for

The celebrated sea-coast drama "Snug

the best American dramas now playing,
dealing with new and original theme

can character, the Gloucester fisherman.
All the characters in the caAt were life
ike, quaint and droll, while pathos and
sentinient ara cleyerly blended so That
interest of the audience is maintained

GARMENT WORKERS WIN.



SUIT Against Former Official Decided

The United Garment Workers Of
America has won its suit against IT'S
former secretary. Henry White. In the
appellate court Of New York. The suit
Is particularly Interesting tolabor men
White was well known among labor
men throughout the country as one OF
the ablest writer's on labor and com
merce subjects. He bitterly opposed
the strike Of garment workers in New
York in 1905 when lie was general sec

Up to the last moment White had adj

employers, demands for an open shop.

garded By his associates ais treachery.
and the strike was ordered. 1t ended
disastrously for the garment workers,
but White was not given an opportu-
nifty to resign. as the delegates to the
annual convention In Buffalo expelled
him.
An investigation OF the affairs Of the
Office revealed that White, while acting
as secretary OF the organization, organ

millions of labels issued by the union

funds OF the union to buy stock in the
printing company, which prospereJ and
made lots OF money. He was the pr%a-
cipaI stakeholder, the other member Of
the firm being a union printer. When
White retired from Office he paid back
the 81 900 he took from the union funds
and declared that the organization had
no claim on the profits he made while
connected with the printing company.
The union thought differently and
sued White FOR $4,000, which was
shown to be his share Of the profits ID

awarded the union In the lower courts
and an appeal was taken by White,
