Dr. lehman. who has attended Mil

down OF a silk mill IN Carlsbad anc an
attack on a factory in Bayonne, IN which
a girl was wounded.
The Hudson County silk manufacturers

mand for a horizontal increase In wages
OF - per cent and the reduction In hours
from ten to eight Robert J. T. SchwarZ-

the manufacturers OF Passaic and Hud-
son counties employed only one-quarter
Of the looms engaged In the industry 40

than are paid elsewhere and are heavily
handicapped In competition by this fact.
Mr. Schwarzenbach. as spokesman FOR
the employers. went on 10 say that labor
conditions in Passaic and Hudson coun-
ties were approaching a state where there
would be no choice left 10 the employer
but 10 louidate his mill holdings rather

~ on games in the second. Larned won
the seventh game on his service, the only
service game he scored in the entire
match. That was the turning point OF the
set. for Wrenn worked his volleys sharp
ly against Dabney, and as the latter ap-
peared TO be suffering from poor eye
sight the veterans scored four games In
order TO balance the sets.
Niles was supreme overhead in the third
set, allowing the veterans only two
games Those who watched Larned close
~ saw only a shadow OF his former self
so far as skilful welding of the racquet
was concerned. He was slow and many
pounds heavier than when he last ap-
peared on the courts. 1t was only when
he caught the ball just where he wanted
IL that he made his drives successfully.
Little led off with the service in his
match, followed by Clothier, Hackett and
Watson. Playing the right-hand court po-
sition and fairly close up 10 the net, Little
brought off his voleys with remarkable
accuracy. Hackett held position further
back. but the polse and balance OF the two
