New Y:k, Dec. 90.-Strong efforts
were made today TO bring to an end
by mediation and arbitration the
strike OF workers in the mems cloth
ing manufacturing trade which be-
gan this morning with the refusal Of
operatives variously estimated to
number from $4,000 to 10000 TO go
to work because they desire highcr
pay and better working conditions
from their employers, members Of the
New York Clothiers association. The
strike affects some 1000 shops IN
New York, Brooklyn, Newark and
other places.
John j. Bealin of the State board
Of mediation and arbitration confer
red with representatives Of the cloth
les association and of the United
Mems Garment Workers and will re-
port to the board on the advisability
of conducting an investigation of the
conditions under which garment
makers work.
The International Peace forum also
resumed its efforts looking to media
tion. 1t presented to both employers
and operatives a plan for submitting
to them a list of governors Of ten
States, ten educators, ten United
States senators and ten clergymen
| from whom five or seven men shall
| be selected to hear arguments and
submit findings which shall be bind
ing to the manufacturers and their
employees.
"The strike has assumed serious
proportions" NJ. Bealin said, land
there is grave danger that it will
spread to oher cities"
Some Of the strike leaders predict
ed that Rochester. Baltimore, Pitts
bursh Cincinnati. Chicago, st. Louis,
Philadelphia and Utica concerns
probably would be affected by tn,
| strike.
| The only violence reported as a re-
suit Of the walkout occurred in
Brooklyn. The disorders were not
serious. Leaders of the strikers say
| they are frowning upon all efforts at
| violence. The strikers held 80 mass
meetings today and predictions were
made by them that 200, 600 workers
would be out by the end of the week.
Strike leaders at a mass meeting
of garmnt markers tonight refused
to allow DIR. William Carter, general
secretary Of the International Peace
forum, to put before the assembled
workers the society's arbitration plan.
DR.. Carter was told IL was too early
in the strike" to consider a mediation
move.
1t was announced officially at strike
headquarters that the number Of op-
eraives out tonight is 10000.

Fer the People to Decide

Now that election has been called by trustees of Sehnol District No 1 the question of selling Central school property to the city county site for joint administrative building. or leasing private persons for d long term of wears. hope that there will be fsu expression by the voters of this school district. We hope that the expression will be delivered in public spirit after q very careful survey of both propositions and the elimination of all selfish considerations
 The civic center idea is combaucd by many clements which are in sympathy only in their oppo- siton. There who sincerely believe that would be more advantageous to the school dis trct lease the property. We would cheerfuIy agree with thcm if the alternative proposition templated the sale of to private persons. There are others who nothing about any advantage to school district, but they opposed to the location civic center that particular place. Still others oppose t because they the county and city buildings kept where they They merely opposed to any change. Others against the civic center because they think they see an advantage in it to some particular section of the city. Thus. the motives Of the opponents vary ing and conflicting.
 The proponents in whatever part of the city they reside do business have but single motive. the Identification of Phoenix. They believe 1t is advance. progressive step They believe it will be profitable Phoenix every section of it. to every man who is now opposing
 Another thing not to be lost sight is that possible loss sacrifice be involved in the sale the property is proposed. Practically the same people who will sell it are the people who will buy ownership will be unchanged A small part the school district lies outside the city limits, it will long. with the present rate of the city's growth until the boundaries of the city and the district will be co-incidentaL
 If voters get these facts squarely in their minds, ve think there can doubt result the election They have nothing lose by the sale the property They will have gain y-iIl he urid, of the city and county And, after it place, ,yc believe a majority of those who will vote against will wonder why they did We wiling to trust the judgment of the people.

 The only people who direct primaries are people who in politics for plunder and those who hope to gain special privileges from invisible government; men who but the creatures of other and the servants of the people
 The session of the legislature that has just end ed in shame has made thing plain.

Are you weak, tired, WORKOUT? Do

Cardui.
AS remedy for women's ills, Cardui
has been most successful. 1t Is purely

which have been found to build up the
vitality and strengthen the womanly
constitution, as well as prevent OF re-

Cardui is worth trying. Judging

women who have been benefited by
this remedy, it should surely do you

CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physie into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action Ia positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor'
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
Of California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.
