AGREEMENTS FAIL:
WORKERS STAY OUT
Garment Shop Strikers Hold
Conferences, but There's No
Progress in Settlement.

Despite the report given out by the
strike leaders on Saturday that the
Hilton concerns contractors had
settled, no agreements have been
signed and no men returned to work
today. A conference of the strike
leaders and the several contractors
doing Hilton's work was held at the
headquarters OF the striking garment
workers at Broome and Morton
streets yesterday afternoon.
The contractors objected to nearly
all the demands made by the strikers
and after a. long discussion. the con
ference ended without anything being
accomplished. The contractors, it is
said, were willing to recognize the
union, but objected to the reduction
of hours of labor from fifty-nine to
fifty with an increase in wages of at
least ten per cent They submitted
plan of their own. regulating the
number of hours and the scale Of
wages which. according to the strike
leaders. would have meant a slight
reduction in the number of hours,
but would also have made the wage
scale lower than ever On this ac-
count the leaders rejected it.
just what will be done now 1t il
hard to say. The leaders declare
they will not give in unless all their
demands are met and the contractors
say they could not afford to grant
the increase in wages demanded by
the union.
Little or no progress is being made
toward settlement with the Rogers
Peet concerns. among whom are the
three largest shops in the city. The
Rogers-Peet workers here say that
any agreement that may be reached
is dependent upon the action of ths
national organization in New York

data estimating the average expense
for servants borne by fifty families in
Montclair.
1--WE will pay $1,000 a year TO the
general manager of the housekeeping
department, who must be woman
thoroughly familiar with domestic
science" she said. "She will have un-
der her direction ten maids at 80 a
week each, which for year amounts
to $4.6S0. We allow $120 annually for
unforeseen incidentals. That brings
the expense of the housekeeping de-
partment upto $4,000 a year.
"In the kitchen department<we will
have a chef who knows the science
of food values as well as the art of
preparation. We propose to pay MIN
SO 900 a year lie will have several
assistants, whose aggregate pay will
be $4,000 annually. Two delivery
wagons, perhaps rebuilt automobiles
will cost 81 500: rent viii be $1,000 and
equipment, such as stoves. ranges,
etc, will cost $1,000. The expense of
the kitchen department, therefore.
amounts to $4,000 a year, or total
expense of $4,000 annually for both
departments.
Would Mean Big Saving.
an comparison to that amount,
she continued, figure that fifty fami-
lies average one servant, to whom
they pay $500 a year. That totals
$4,000 a year. 1t costs every family
at least $50 year for rough work,
such as washing windows, spring and
autumn cleaning, etc. That brings
the expense now being borne to $780,
000 or the cost of the new cooperative
household. Add to that the keep of a
servant, estimated at SO a week or
$50 d year, and for fifty families you
get $500 or total expense of $2S, 500
Mrs. Leonhauser said she purposed
to have each of the fifty families sub
scribe $500 cash in advance, OF the
wages of a cook, so that the equip
ment could be purchased for cash.
Mrs. Leonhauser said membership
in the household organization would
not be limited to members of Unity
Church.

KEARNY FIRE CHIEF
SCENTS AN|MOS|TY
Says There Is Personal Spite IN
Attack Upon Law Which
Favors Him.

Declaring that the fight to prevent
him from being permanent chief of
the Kearny fire department savors of
personality, Charles W. Greenfield,
who is head of the department. to-
day issued statement in which he
openly assails those who are fighting
him.
The provisions of a recently enact
ed law are that Chief Greenfield
shall not he removed from office ex-
that politics cannot enter into the
proposition of relieving the chieT of
his duties. The bill in question was
introduced by Assemblyman Joseph
NJ. Branegan, Of Harrison, and af-
fects, besides Kearny. the depart
ments of Montclair, West Orange,
West New York and Bloomfield. The
bill has been signed by President
Woodrow Wilson. who was Governor
of this State at the time of the pas
sage of the measure.
The object, it is said. of those who
are fighting the bill in kearny is to
test its constitutionality There was
little. if anything, said in Kearny
while the bill was in the process of
enactment. 1t was generally known
that such measure had been intro
duced, and there is reason to believe
every fireman in the department was
acquainted with the provisions of the
bill Still nothing was said. accord
ing to the chief
The fact that the Town Council did
not oppose the measure was taken
by many to mean that the solons were
pleased with the work of Chief Green
field and favored his permanent In
cumbency. According to the chief,
former Councilman James A. Nagel
aspired to head the department and is
enc of the main figures in the fight
against the bill.
"Nagel told me some time ago"
said the chief, that he expected to
become chief some day. That is one
reason why he is fighting me. Another
reason has to do with the discharge
some time ago of the young man who
drove the automobile engine. know
positively that Nagel is opposed to
me because of the discharge of the
man in question. but the latter was
allowed to go for the good of the de-
partment and town. This man is, I
believe, also allied with Nagel in the
present fight" declared the chief.
Mr.. Greenfield went on TO tell of
the difficulty that is being encoun-
tered by his enemies in trying TO
get the firemen of the town to offer
objection to the bill. He told of n
meeting of the Highland Hose Com
pany Friday night, when it was de-
cided to appoint a committee to n
vestigate. The chief contended this
meeting was poorly attended and
feels sure, he said, the result would
have heen different had a full quota
been on hand.
| Mr.. Greenfield has been at the head
of the department for over six years
During his incumbency there has
never had any criticism of his work.

at 10 Washington place, and who had

on the charge of desertion. Her

sides are seeking to find her.
When the case was called before
Judge Hahn. in the First Criminal
Court, Frank N. McDermit, repre-.
senting Mrs, Martin, requested that
the charge be dismissed on the under
standing that DR. Martin would care
for his wife. In accordance with this
agreement Mrs. Martins hotel bill
was paid and accommodations for her
at the Presbyterian Hospital were
arranged for.
II is said that When Mrs. Martin
drove TO the hospital in a taXicab a
dispute arose over the charges, and

tin and Charles Hood. his attorney,
have failed to reveal the missing
womans whereabouts. When in court
Saturday she was in a highly
nervous state and fears for her safety
are entertained by those interested.
At the time she made the complaint
against her husband she gave So West

possible that she has gone there.
