FROM $4,000 TO 10000 GARMENT
WORKERS OUT IN NEW YORK.
Probe Of Conditions In Shops Is Pro.
posed-Spread Of The Trouble
Is Feared.

New York, Dec. S1.-Strong efforts
were made to bring to an end by med.
iation and arbitration the strike of
workers in the mems clothing manu-.
featuring trade, which began yester-
day morning with the refusal Of oper.
Atives variously estimated to number
$4,000 to 100000, to go to work be-
cause they desire higher pay and bet
ter working conditions from their EN-
ployers, members of the New York
Clothiers' association. The strike az
fects some 1000 shops in New York.
Brooklyn, Newark and other nearby
places.
John ]. Bealin of the state board Of
mediation and arbitration is confer

and will report to the board on the ad-
visibility of conducting an investiga-
ton of the conditions under which the
garment workers work.
The International Peace Forum also
resumed its efforts looking to media
ton. 1t presented to both employers
and operatives plan for submitting
to them 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 binding to
the manufacturers and their employees.
"The strike has assumed serious
proportions" Mr. Bealin said, "and
there is grave danger it will spread to
other cities"
Some of the strike leaders predicted
hat Rochester, Baltimore. Pittsburs,
incinnati, Chicago, st. Louis, Phila-
elphia and Utica concerns probably
would be affected by the strike.
The strikers demand the following:
Increase from Is to 20 per cent in
wages; an eight-hour day, with all
overtime paid for at the maximum
rate; sanitary shops and the complete
abolition Of all sweatshops and tene-
ment house work: abolition of the

His Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr.. Dyspeptic, would you not like to
feel that your stomach troubles were
over, that you could eat any kind of
food you desired without injury? That
may seem so unlikely to you that you
do not even hope for an ending of your
trouble, but permit US to assure you
that ii is not altogether impossible. If
others can be cured permanently, and
thousands have been, why not you?

treatment this disease is considered in
