GARMENT WORKERS
60 OUT ON STRIKE
Upwards of $4,000 Men and
Women Involved.
WALKOUT IS FAR REACHING
Estimated Output of Manufacturers
Against Whom the Fight Is Be-
ing Waged is $350,ooo,000
Annually.

New York, Dec. 30.-The threatened
strike of cutters, machine operators,
pressers and tailors employed in the
manufacture of mems and boys cloth
ing in factories of New York and vi
entity, including Jersey City and New
ark, began today.
Officials Of the United Garment
Workers Of America estimate that up
wards of $4,000 workers in this in
dustry will fill the ranks of the strik-
ers. They include about $4,000 men
and about 10000 women.
Strike Against Manufacturers.
This is the first strike against the
clothing manufacturers, the one three
years ago having been waged against
the contractors. The estimated out
put Of the manufacturers who will b
affected is $35O,0OO,OOO annually.
The strike was ordered by members
of the "a locals of the United Garment
Workers having headquarters in New
York, Jersey City and Newark by a
formal ballot. Forty thousand mem.
bers voted for striking and only 5000
against it.
Demands of Strikers.
THE object Of the strike" said one
of the organizers, lis to end the unsan-
itary conditions under which in many
instances clothing is now being manu-.
featured in this city and vicinity, to Sc
cure from fifteen to twenty per cent
increase in wages and have the men
paid on weekly basis; to reduce the
working hours to eight hours a day
and to abolish the system of tenement
house work and Incidental child labor
'The records show that the largest
number of recruits to sanitariums and
hospitals for tuberculosis in this city
come from the ranks of the garment
workers and this dread disease is con
tracted because of the long hours and
conditions under which they are
forced to labor.
Many Foreigners involved.
"The members of our organization
are made up of Italians, Jews, Poles
and Lithuanians. They are employed
as cutters, machine operators, tailors
who work with the needle, and press
ers. The six branches of the business
in which they are engaged are coat
makers, pants makers, vest makers,
children's jacket makers, sailor suit
makers and knee pants makers.
"The average weekly earnings in
none of these branches is more than
$40 a week. There is not tailor get
ting more than SIS or SIC a week, the
best of them, and the majority make
81 weekly and less. Some of the cut
tiers get $22 week, the most expert
of them, but the average is kept down
by those who get 81, So and SO a
week."
Although the union officials are
frank in stating the demands upon
which the strike is based, the manu-
facturers are taking the stand that no
demands have been made upon them
and are disinclined to recognize the
union.

MINE CLASH |S EXPECTED
UNION OFFICIALS FEAR COMING
 OF REPRESENTATIVES
Foreigners Are Restless-America Element Considered Peaceful
 Board Will Try to Arbitrate.

Pennington, Mo, Aug. 26-While the state board of mediation and arbi- tration is to inquire further into con- ditions which brought about the strike of 5000 miners in the Flat River lead district, the greatest uneasiness is be- ing caused here by the fear of clash at arms between the miners and their former employers. This clash, it is feared, will come with the first at tempt to work in the mines.
 The mines are protected by stock ades, and these stockades are manned by watchmen and clerks. The equip ment for defense includes 1000 riot guns, 5000 repeating rifles and thou sands of rounds of ammunition.
 On the other hand, much dynamite is known to be in the possession of These foreigners, mostly Slavonians and Hungarians, number about 1000, and they are the element most feared at the present time. The other three ffths of the miners are mostly former dwellers on farms in this region, and many of them have gone back to the farm to await the settlement of the present trouble. But the foreign min- CTS have no such recourse. and their discontent is rapidly growing
 The third member of the board, Philip Toll of Kansas City, arrived late last night, and the full board will meet today in an attempt to arbitrate further. A report will be made to the governor, setting forth the terms of settlement which the board deems just.
 Under the law, the board has no means of enforcing acceptance of its decision on either the employees or the men. It can offer it's services and ex- press it's judgment, and to this extent 1t serves as the voice of the state, to guide both sides toward a settlement.

KAISER 0N WATER WAGON
GERMANY'S RULER SUBSTITUTES
 LEMONADE FOR BEER.
"Cuts Out" AIcohoIics Beverages and Finds He Is More Efficient With
 out Them-Talks Temperance.

Berlin, Aug 25.-Kaiser Wilhelm has ''cut out" alcoholic beverages and, to use an Americanism, climbed aboard the water wagon. The kaiser was converted to teetotalism after eX- perimentng upon himself as to the effect of abstinence from all liquors on his capacity for work. These tests showed him that his general efficiency was increased considerably, he says, and now it is announced that he is de termined to abstain from alcoholic stimulants permanently.
 The kaiser some time ago called for the latest statistics on alcoholism in its relation to suicide, crime and acci- dents. He studied the figures dili- gently. He found that even small quantities of liquor lessened his own capacity for work. With his charac- teristic impulsiveness, he made up his mind to drink no more. His substi- ute beverage is lemonade.
 While he was swearing in the naval recruits at Wilhelmshafen recently, the emperor took occasion to deliver lecture on temperance and drank a toast in water. He also recently told army officers, who asked if there would be any objection if his health were drunk in water, that, on the con- trary. he would be well pleased.
 These facts come out since the kaiser returned from his vacation cruise. Little space is given to them in the newspapers for the same req son perhaps as when the minister of education of a south German state some time ago opposed the establish ment of a Good Templar lodge on the ground that 1t threatened one of the most important industries of Ger. many.

 "On this hearing much depends. Should the government produce a per feet case we will make no fight. But if its case Is imperfect we will appeal from the order of deportation that is certain to issue. Two of the court who will sit, Inspectors Reynolds an 1 Willins, have already prejudiced this case. They have announced publicly that they will deport Thaw.
 Now, should we appeal, and want to say that we will not, unless we be. lieve we have good case Mir. Thaw will remain indefinitely on Canadian soil. Because, should Dougherty up. hold his subordinates, we would still have the right to have his decision re viewed. That review would carry through the regular channels direct tc the privy council in England.
 "If we find that we cannot contest the deportation on an appeal, why then Mir. Thaw will be put across the border at the nearest point"
 Thaw is contented in the jail. He is fully informed of the plans of his attorneys and has acQuiesced in them Now that former Gov Stone of Penn sylvania Is on the ground to direct the battle array of lawyers, he has be come extremely confident

DEPENDS ON HUERTA'S STAND
Members of House and Senate For. eign Relations Committee Discuss Document With Executive at
 Conference Last Night.

Washington, Aug. 26.-President Wilson promised he would read his special message to a joint session of congress this afternoon unless unfore- seen developments in Mexico should arise which would make a further de- lay expedient
 A change of front by President Huerta is the only thing which will delay delivery of the message.
 As outlined by the president, here is the present status of the Mexican situation:
 A message to congress of about $500 words Is completed.
 The president asked members of the senate and house foreign relations committees to confer with him late last night regarding the message.
 The message will include the media tion proposals and President Huerta's note rejecting them.
 Foreign nations-the president does not know which-are bringing pres sure to bear upon President Huerta through their representatives at Mex. leo City in behalf of the United States position.
 Gov. Lind will remain in Mexico City until all hope of success of his mission Is abandoned. He may be summoned back, however, at a very early date.

 The president told friends he had not decided whether he would make specific recommendation of new line of action in his message. This was discussed at the White House confer ence last night. What decision was reached has not been announced. He plans now merely to report the facts of Lnd's mission so far in order to en- list the moral support of the country and the world for this government. Formulation of a new policy and de cision as to new course of action will come later
 The president denied reports that Lind was to return immediately or that any ultimatum had been given Huerta to accept the mediation plan within 24 or 4S hours after the con gressional message, on pain of more drastic action.
