Washington, Jan. .7-Investigation
of conditions in the garment working
industry in New York was proposed in
a resolution today by Representative
Berger, the socialist member from Wis
consin. The resolution would authorize
the appointment Of q special committee
of seven members to inquire into condi-
tions surrounding the trade and the
recent strike.
In the preamble he sets forth that
the New York clothing industry sup
plies the trade ola large section Of the
country thru. interstate trade: that the
wages Of the industry ar6 so low that
healthy surroundings and . decent
stalslard of living have become almost
impoSsible.
1T is further charged" continues the
preamble, "that vice and crime are
bred Of the needless misery coincident
to the manufacture Of the nations
clothing and further that this manu-
facture is carried on in filthy and un-
places saturated with germs
of consumption, smallpox, and scarlet
fever and other contagious diseases"
The resolution sets forth that cloth.
ings made in such condition is "a seri-
Gus menace to the welfare and health
of ALL"
In statement Mr.. Berger said that
he desired to show the close connection
with the intolerable economic condition
of the garment workers, to crime and
vice on the one hand, and how these
economic conditions revenged them
selves upon all the people, because the
people allow them to exist"

London, Jan. 27.-The drafting Of the
note ending peace negotiations was be-
gun this morning by the allies.
The committee Of delegates instruct
ed with this important work consisted
Of Michael Jadross. Bulgarian minister
in London; Prof. Georgois STREET., Greek
minister to Austria Hungary: DR.. NJ. r.
vesnitch. servian minister to France.
and Count voynovitch. chief Of the
cabinet of King Nicholas Of Moate-
negro; with NJ. Politis. of tho Greek
delegations, as an advisor on questions
Of International law.
The committee expected to complete
the note before nightfall and submit its
work to the plenary sitting of the Bull
garian, Greek. Aontenegrin and Servian
delegations.
Much Time Required.
However, even II the Balkan allies
are anxious to resume hostilities. which
1t is currently reported they are not
anxious to do. at least fifteen days
must elapse before the guns can again
begin to roar.
Even II the draft Of the note Is COM
pleted tonight its revision by the dele
cations will take some time and the
final draft could not be presented to the
Turkish delegation and to Sir Edward
Gray. honorary president of the peace
conference, before Wednesday.
As 1t is understood the Eote will give
the Turkish delegation three days In
which to answer, the expiration OF that
period would occur on Sunday. so that
the Turkish reply would not be deliv-
cred until Monday next.
oovsrn,ms,t Must b Notified.
Then the allied delegations will have
to notify their respective governments
ana ask Sir Edward Gray to convoke
final sitting of the conference for the
official rupture Of the negotiations and
also In order TO thank the British gov
ernment for its hospitality
This will take at least three days,
making 1t Feb. s. Then the govern
ments at Sofia, Belgrade and Cettinje
must denounce the armistice. Working
with exceptional celerity this could be
done the next day and hostilities could
then be resumed on Feb. II, following
the expiration of the four days notice
required.
In the meanwhile the fortress of
Adrianople may fall and this is expect
ed to become the automatic solution of
the problem.
Turks Appear Hopeful.
The Turkish delegates remarked this
morning that the Balkan allies had
greatly tempered their original ardor
They now seem. according to the
Turks, to trust to the outbreak Of a
counter revolution in Constantinople.
forgetting that even should it occur 1t
would be a movement led by the mill
tary element and therefore strongly
against the surrender Of Adrianople.

portion so depressed to move just that
much against, the surrounding por-
ton and that is done under great
pressure so that the surface material
is ground against itself every time
that one of these projections presses
into the ground it not only grinds
the surface material but where there
is hard finished surface it breaks the
bonding or cementing OF all roads
that have been made long enough to

While am firm believer in the
use of motors and tractors on our
roads when carried on wheels of
sufficient bearing surface, it will be-
come the cheapest mode of transporta-
ton. There is no logi cal reason why
all heavy farm products should not
be hauled for fifty miles to market,
on hard roads and save the extra
handling at the depot as is now done
in all rail shipments.
Our last legislature passed a local
option Wide Tire Law that If
adopted will be of material benefit in
protecting our roads from excessive
pressure at any point. And it is i'm
peratively needed to be adopted in all
counties SO as to forestall the ten

reasons, Wis: the unacOuntable ex-

Hauling by tractor is being done
for many commercial propositions
with marked economy over the same
work done by horses, therefore to me
it seems very plain that there is some
thing wrong with the figures or the
honesty of those responsible for
authorship. The case looks like

81, 900, 900 to build and it cost 81, 600, =
600 to furnish it with ordinary fix

Where it costs 80 cents per yard for
teams it should be done for from 40
to 60 cents by tractors, and the rest
looks like graft.
The excessive wear of the tractors

terest to the rest of the state, and it
! reminds me of disagreement that |
had with the engineer of King county
and also some of the county commits
sioners from both King and Pierce
counties, in Olympia two years ago
when discussing the merits OF the
Wide Tire Law that was then under
consideration, to which they objected
on the ground that they wanted to
have their counties excepted from the
requirement of smooth tires on their
tractors, while admitting the need of
keeping others off, they wanted the
right for counties to still use tractors,
and this example has demonstrated
that it is not economy for county
to use Jugs on their tractors any more
than it is for others.
In England and to some extent in
continental Europe they handle heavy
traffic with smooth wheeled tractors
called steam "Larries. - and find that
they are good road makers instead
of road destroyers. The reason for
this is plain to anyone that gives these
mechanical facts due consideration.
