Dolliver, which terminates March 4,
1919. The senator makes plain that
he is under no pledge to Governor Car
roll not to be candidate now nor for
the term beginning March 4, 1918.
Senator Young states his platform as
follows:
LAS I have heretofore announced, I
shall attempt to be builder rather
than a critic or destroyer. Some of the
best reforms can be effected by con-
structive rather than by destructive
work. In judging the quality of q
measure I shall not inquire into its
source. It was not my purpose to dis
tract the Republican party whose sue
cess in 1912 should be the aim of every
Republican.
1.-The Republican party has demon
strated it's capacity to do big and wise
things. The party should be sustained.
1t should be made ready for the great
contest two years ahead.
'"The Democratic party has never
been able to satisfy the country of it's
fitness to rule. 1t is considered unsafe
by majority of the people"

The New York city cloakmakers'
strike, one of the greatest industrial
disturbances in the history of Amer
lean labor, has been settled. Seventy
thousand garment workers who have
been idle for nine weeks have re-
turned to work. The Industrial loss
to employers and employees has III
high into the millions. In loss OF
wages alone the total is more than
$40, 600, while the loss to manu-.
facturers, Jobbers and retailers the
country over has been computed at
ten times that amount. One essential
to this victory, and one important not
only to the strikers but to the nation
at large which yea their output, is
the abolition of all contract work at
home. Hereafter garments made in
New York will be manufactured under
sanitary conditions. There will be no
more sweat shops.
