Says Wages Are Too
Low, Hours Too
Long for Decent
Living.
SAYS SUB-CONTRACTING
SHOULD BE ABOLISHED
Also Declares Against Work Be-
ing Done by Employees in
Their Homes and Makes
Other Suggestions.

In an exhaustive statement. former
Senator Everett Colby today made
public the result of his investigation
of the garment makers strike.
He explains in detail the conditions
existing among the 1000 men. women
and young girls, employed in the
thirty-two clothing factories of the
city.
As a result of his probe he finds
that:
/. The wages received by large
majority of the workers in the in
dustry are not sufficient to guarantee
a decent living.
.. The hours of labor are too long
during the rush months.
3. Sub-contracting should be abol-
ished
4. Work should not be given out to
be finished at home.
Clubbing Two Women a Disgrace.
In commenting on the general con-
duct of the strike, he asserts that
while in some cases the police may
have been justified in handling men
roughly. the blackjacking of Adelina
Palarozza and Concetta Giofana, two
women. was "a disgrace to the police
force of the city of Newark" and
"should be wiped out by an investi-
cation demanded by the men on the
force themselves"
Mr.. Colbys investigation was made
at the request of the executive coIh-
rittees of locals 276 and 20o OF the
United Garment Workers of America.
He discovered that wages were palo

willingness of contractors TO open
their books for his inspection.
The figures he arrived at are as

Continue Censorship.
Officials were kept in suspense by
the continued censorship at Mexico
City. and official dispatches We're
brief.
Secretary Knox told President Taft
and the cabinet today that notwith-
standing all the fierce fighting in the
CITY of Mexico for the last eight days
there had been no infraction of the
rules of civilized warfare, or of the
principles of international law, that
would warrant any interference by
the United States.
It was declared by administration
officials today that there was no In
consistency between the entertain
ment of this purpose of non-inter-
vention and the steady progress OF
the movements of concentration OF
ships. soldiers and marines for the
last twenty-four hours, and that
these measures are not designs to
meet existing conditions in Mexico,
but only to guard against the possi-
bility of unexpected and graver con-
ditions that might place the safety
of foreigners in Mexico quite beyond
the ability of the de facto govern
ment of the country TO insure.
IT is expected that as further
development in the program of pre-
paredness there will be additional or
issued for the preparation for
transportation of at least two more
cavalry regiments now in Texas, and
several companies of coast artillery
intended to be used &C infantry, In
the first stages of an expedition, AMI
later as garrsons for any forti1ea-
tions that might have to be occupied
VIII Have Fifteen Warships.

Rear Admiral Badger fifteen battle
ships at that point, without the four
ships he has already sent to the gulf
coast of Mexico.

are affected by an agreement reached
today between representatives CT
their union and the manufacturers

HELEN TAFT RISKS LIFE TO
SAVE MOUNTED GIRL FRIEND

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.--Miss Hell
en- Taft, daughter of the President,
was the heroine of a thrilling run
away late yesterday afternoon, when
she risked her life by racing her
mount through the streets in Wash
ington in an effort to save Miss
Martha Bowers from being dashed
to death by the saddle horse she had
been riding as a member of Miss
Taft's party. AS it was, Miss Bowers
was thrown when her horse, the prop
erty of Miss Taft, became unmanage-
able and dashed wildly down Six
tenth street, crashing into street
ear at u street N. w.
Miss Bowers is the daughter of the
late Lloyd wv. Bowers, formerly So
licitor-general of the United States.
She escaped death only by the great
est good fortune. Her right arm was
fractured above the wrist, her hand
badly cut and she sustained numerous
bruises. She retained consciousness,
however. The horse was instantly
killed

RIDES 40 MILES FOR PET

BELLEFoNTAINE, O., Jan. 90
Love for his three-legged dog and
battered old sled prompted Jesse Wo-
mack, II, to board a freight train and
ride forty miles to Lima. There he
regained possession of his pet and
sled. but he fell into the hands of the
police. Frightened by his arrest, the
boy told the police he had been en-
t.ced to Lima by a stranger. Investi-
cation, however, showed that Jesse's
parents had moved from Lima to
Bellefontaine several weeks ago, leav-
ing the three-legged pet and the old
sled, both of which were sent to the
latter town with him.

LET WOMEN SMOKE If,
MEN DO, SAYS BISHOP

BOSTON. Jan. EFF the men find
it a pleasure to smoke, why should
that pleasure be relegated to the men
and not to women" asks Bishop
William Boyd-Carpenter, canon OF
Westminster, one of England's lead
ing ecclesiastics, who is visiting in
Boston.
He believes that woman should
smoke if she wants to. Smoking
among women will sooner or later
adjust. ITSELF he says. There will
be always women who will do things
above the ordinary to provoke criti-
cism, and there will be women who
will retain their womanly traits and
stand for the highest and noblest
that there is in life and will not toll
crate even smoking as a pleasure"

SENATE DEMOCRATIC BY
ONE, PERHAPS BY TWO

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The cleo
ton of a Democrat to the United
States Senate to succeed Newell San
ders. of Tennessee, a Republican,
makes it certain the Democrats will
control the next Senate by at least a
clear majority of one, instead of hav-
ing to rely solely on the deciding vote
of Vice President Marshall.
If Delaware elects a Democrat, as,
is expected, their majority will be
two.
Next year this will be increased to
four, when William H. Jackson, the
Republican appointee from Maryland,
yields his place to the choice of the
Democratic Legislature.
