Signs of Yielding, En-

PHILADELPHIA, December 29-Ac-
cording to employers. the garment work
ers' strike showed signs of breaking up
today. Several of the manufacturers said
that employees applied for work in vary
ing numbers, but that there was not
enough work on hand to give all of them
employment.
Leaders of the cloak and skirt makers

clared off, as the vote of the strikers on
the question of returning to wo-k had not
yet been counted. Last week strikers
were told by the leaders that the unions
treasury was empty and there could be
no further payment of strike benefits.
No Discrimination Shown.

strikers say no discrimination is being
shown. 1t is declared that wages will re-
main the same but that the hours will be
reduced from fifty-four To fifty-two Il
week. The manufacturers said that some

wanted adjusted would be taken up after
all the men return to work.
The strike began July IA, at that time
about 5000 being involved. Some of the
strikers returned to wo' k from time to
time, which led to some disorder. Two
men lost their lives in fights growing out
