MORE WOMEN
At WORK NOW,
Situation aLittIO
Improved,

DuP~A ~AFutNhQSuL 4Onn MCIinufS,
OF the Williamsburg knitting mill,
announced yesterday that the labor
situation had improved slightly over
last week. and that the outlook was
better. While the force of women
employees is still inadequate, only
little more than one. fourth of what
is actually needed, a few more re-
ported for duty Monday, with a few
others promised.
II is a great disappointment to the
mill people that the former en-
ploYees at least have not come back
to take their old places, especially
when ne new management is pay
ing more per garment than was paid
under former regieme. Then this is
a home enterprise. a big and psrma-
nent one, which means work at home
tor our own people for all time.
With this mill a success. another
allied concern is expected, giving
employment to as many more oper-
atives as the present plant. The
'pfoolem now IS only one Of female
operatives. There are enough men
in sight to keep the plant supplied
at present
Agents have been sent out to en-
list the old employees now at work
IN other mills in the ranks of the
Williamsburg concern. but with little
success. Strange as it may seem,
the women and girls who a few
months ago were anxious to "coms
back home. now holdiback. Ow.
ing to the failure 70 secure enough

That IS responsible for the laying of

temporary. and will cease when tn

Another strange situation that ha
presented itself to the new manage

Bishop Whitehead Threatens
HereSy Charge.
TOLD ARUNDEL TO KEEP OUT.
But Former Preacher In Pittsbursh's
Most Fashionable Church Declares
He Will Stick and Continue to
Uphold the Doctrines Of
Christian Socialism.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 17.-Regardless of
Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead's orders
TO the effect that he must not return to
the Pittsburgh diocese, the Rev. DR.. A..
w. Arundel former rector of the fash
ionable Trinity Episcopal church, ar
rived in town ready to assume charge
of st. Marks Episcopal church, from
which he received a call few weeks
ago.
Or. Arundel announced that he had
come to the city prepared to take
charge of st. Marks church and that
he would preach Christian Socialism to
the congregation of the South side
church, no matter what Bishop White
head thought about it,
Bishop Whitehead. who is in Paris at
the present time. warned Or. Arundel
soon after the latter had resigned from
the rectorship of Trinity church that
he must not return to this diocese.
1t was also said few weeks ago
that the bishop would prefer charges
of heresy against Mr.. Arundel If he
persisted In his intention of accepting
the call to st. Marks church.
Or. Arundel is outspoken in his de-
nunciation of a clique of wealthy men
who forced him out Of Trinity church
because he preached the doctrine of
Christian Socialism. He claims the
same clique is responsible for Bishop
Whitehead's attitude toward him now.
