Only Seven of Twenty Con-
tractors in City Have Failed
to Sign Agreement.

After eleven weeks the garment
workers strike in this city is practi-
eally over With the signing of the
articles of agreement by the Hilton
contractors, there are only seven. of
the twenty or so contractors in the
city who refuse to accede to the de-
mands of the union.
These seven, three of whom are
the largest in the city do work for
the Rogers Peet Company. Abraham
Stiglitz, the local strike leader, de-
clarod today that settlement was
pending with the Rogers Peet firm in
New York
About 900 men will return to
work tomorrow as a result of the
agreements signed. The Hilton con-
Germs would have signed the articles
of settlement some time ago only for
the quibbling of two of the contrac-
tors the strike leaders say.
A parade was held from the head
quarters, Broome and Morton streets.
today, in consequence of the return
of the men to work. A permit was
granted for the parade by Chief Cor
bitt to the Rev. Bismarck J. Coltoru,
pastor of the Mt. olivet Presbyterian
Church, who has manifested an active
interest in the strike from the outset.
The strikers agreed to avoid the
vicinity of the shops which have not
vet settled, and Mr.. Coltorti ex-
planned 1t was their intention only to
march past the shops which have
signed the agreements. On these
terms the chief granted the permit.

NO RECRUITS JOIN STRIKE
AT CROCKER=W WHEELER co.


There was little change in the
strike situation at the Croker
Wheeler plant at Ampere today. No
new recruits were gained by the men
who walked out yesterday, but some
of the men on strike expressed the
belief that the employees of several
more departments would quit in SYM
pathv with them if asked to do so.
About 400 men employed in the ma
chinists', punch press, screw machine
and bench work departments walked
out yesterday noon because. as they
claim the firm had reduced the scale
of wages almost so per cent. The
men employed in these departments
are all on piece work. The reduction
means loss of from 81 to $1.50
day, the strikers assert.
A meeting of the men was held at
Stats Hall, Orange and Fifteenth
streets, this morning, and mass
meeting will be held tonight at Lib
erty Hall. 255 Court street, when an
organization will be effected and an
effort made to affiliate with the

GOV. FIELDER RECALLS
KINGDOMS NOMINATION
Tax Board Member Opposed
by Burlington Leaders.
From a stan correspondent,

TRENTON, N. j., March 12.-GoV-
ernor Fielder today recalled from the
Senate the nomination of Joseph Z.
Kingdom as a member of the Burling-
ton Tax Board. Mr.. Kingdom is a
Republican. and at present member
of the Burlington County Tax Board.
The nomination is understood to
have been recalled because 1T is dis
pleasing to the Democratic leaders of
Burlington. 1t is one of the nomina-
tions Governor Wilson left unmade.
Governor Fielder sent in the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Kingdom at the request
of Senator White, of Burlington
county.
Colonel Thomas II. Birch, of Bur-
lington, and Richard p Hughes,
chairman of the Democratic County
Committee, were here today.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Kingdoms
name does not necessarily mean he
will not eventually be nominated. 1t
only means that Governor Fielder de-
sires further time to consider the OPP
position to Mr.. Kingdom, of which he
had no knowledge when he sent the
name to the Senate. The opposition
to Mr.. Kingdom is purely political

GIRLS STRIKE AT 8;
AT Il THEY return
$50 Go Out Because Cigar
Company Refuses to APP
point Foreman.

)ne hundred and fifty employees.
mostly women and girls, of the I.
Lewis Cigar Manufacturing Company,
al 4oO Bank street. walked out Of the
factory on a sympathy strike at
$50 a. m. today. At II o'clock the
strike was practically over and most
OF the girls were again at work.
The strike, which started among the
Girs in the tobacco stripping depart
ment. is said to have been caused
ny the refusal of Abraham I. Lewis
secretary and treasurer of the firm,
to appoint one Gerardo Martina as
foreman in the department.
According to Mr.. Lewis, MARITIME
had asked him for the position, and on
being refused MARITIME quit working
and 100 girls followed his example in
sympathy.
No sooner had the girls in the strip
ping department walked out, when
fifty girls in the cheroot department
followed. Theirs was not the same
grievance, however. Mr.. Lewis gave
as the reason, that, for the past two
days, the girls have been working on
a shipment of tobacco which was not
quite up to the standard in the length
of the leaf. Consequently, asserted
Mr.. Lewis, this condition made it Diff
ficult for the girls to turn out as many
cigars day, thus affecting their
earnings.
Fearing that the girls would be-
come boisterous, Patrolmen Salter,
Kromelbein, Muller and Meyer, of the
Fourth precinct, were detailed at the
factory to keep order. Several times
the officers were compelled to warn
the more bold to stop hooting at the
workers within the factory.
About II o'clock one of the foremen
in the cheroot department, in short
speech in Italian to the girls, stated
that the firm would remedy the fault
should the girls in that department
care to go back TO work. He had just
finished his speechs when the girls
made a rush for the stairways, eager
to get back to their tables.
Although there are yet about 100
girls from the stripping department
out, Mr.. Lewis stated that he would
take back only the best workers
among them 1t was rumored that the
girls had struck for more pay, but
this Mr. Lewis fatty denies, saying
that if the girls came back to work
it would be under the same condi-
tons, regarding salary, as hereto-'
fore.

WHAT CALGARY WOMEN ARE 20.

Entirely through the efforts Of the
Consumers league, a body which was
organized by the women OF the city,
the Calgary Public Market. has been
made an assured success and the cost
Of living cut to Q considerable de.
gree.
For several years Calgary women
have Oeen complaining that they were
being forced to pay too much for the
being forced by the middleman and
retailer to pay too much for the nee
essities Of. life. After lengthy agi-
tation along this line q great public
market was built and was ready for
occupaitno nearly two years ago. But
for some reason the city council could.
not make the market. a success. No
organized attempt was made to bring
producer and consumer together and
the market building was a white ele-
plant for eighteen months.
In the spring of the present year
Ia group Of determined women got to-
gether and determined that they
would do something to make the mar
ket popular. They appealed repeat
eddy to the aldermen without success.
Then they decided to organize the
Calgary Consumers league. Through
the newspapers they appealed to the
market gardeners and farmers in the
Calgary district to bring their pro-
duce to the city on market days and
invited the women Of Calgary to at
tend and ~patronize the market on
those days.
The idea was taken up enthusiastic.
ally by both consumer and producer
and every Wednesday and Saturday
the market is now thronged with buy
ers and sellers. Meat, vegetables,
dairy produce. fruit and flowers, ETC.,
can now all be bought at reasonable
and fair prices. The entire credit
for what has been done must be given
to the small band Of enthusiastic wo-
men who saw the possibilities and In
the face of opposition and inactivity,
organized their Consumers league
and carried the project to success.
