such law on the statute books of the

STRIKE OF WOMEN GARMENT WORKERS
 MAY BE SETTLED
Especial from United Press. /,


 New York, July S.-Whether or not there is to be speedy settlement of the strike of the New York garment workers, which involves 50, 1000 men and women, was expected to be determined manufacturers.
 The employers are badly divided Many want to settle the strike on the best terms available because they fear great loss on rush orders now on hand. Others, and they are for the most part the makers of the poorer grades, are opposed to this, saying that if they grant the demands of their employees they will be forced into bankruptcy. This is the biggest general strike, so far as numbers is concerned, that this city has had since the big tie-up of the building trades several years ago. More than twice as many are out as were concerned in the recent shirt waist strike and the officials of the union issued statement today stat ing that when all the union employees and their sympa thiZers are out there will be more tan 10000 affected.
 M. Rubinger, head of the Cloak, Suit & Skirt Manufacturers Association, said today:
 ''We expect to arbitrate this strike It would never have occurred had the manufacturers been organized but I am hopeful that the trouble will be settled before the end of next week. This is our busy season and we are anxious to be fair with our employees although many of their demands are extrayagant"

 TO COOL CELLS

That irrepressible longing of every youth to emulate the stunts of the broncho busters of the Wild West to- day, brought to grief James Powell and John Collins, neither over IS. both living in the West End.
 The pair with several other youths of the vicinity have been playing hay oc with the bronchos brought here for sale under the skilful management of Doc Elwood. He keeps the kickers in the circus grounds in the West End until such time as he prepares to mount the soap box and deliver his customary speech exploiting the mer- it's of the animals
 Powell, Collins and others went there last night with lasso and start ed to rope the fiery animals. One of them was painfully hurt, and today Elwood made complaint against Pow ell who lives in Railroad avenue and Collins who lives in Organ street. Bf- cycle Policeman Fox overlook them and charging them with breach of the peace locked them up in the Third Precinct

MAYOR GAYNOR SAYS HE LACKS POWER TO
 STOP FIGHT PICTURES
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 Boston. July S-A statement from Mayor W. J. Gaynor of New York city. showing his sympathy for the move ment to stop the exhibition of pie lures of the Johnson-Jeffries prize fight, is today in the hands of Will liam Shaw, general secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, who is heading the nationwide cru sade for their suppression The state ment from Mayor Gaynor is as fol- lows:
 ''It is quite impossible for me to un- derstand how 1t can enter into any mind that we are in any danger of race riots in the city of New York between blacks and whites. I may also remind you that the government of the city of New York is a government of laws and not of men. and that I have no right at my mere will to prohibit anything. Unless a thing be prOhib- ited by law there is no way to pro- hibit it. It is well for all to remem- Der that ours is a government of laws and not a government of men. I shall very carefully consider what you say and see what power there is in any official to do what you suggest. If there is not such power conferred by law I give my solemn assurance that it shall not be exercised. I see no reason to get excited at all. The people most excited seem to be those who read every line of the newspaper and are eager to read more. If I had the power of my own will to do what you suggest I would do it quick enough. Very truly yours. (SigneD w J. Gaynor"
