SETTLEMENT SEEMS NEAR.
So Far As Larger Portion of Garment
Workers Are Concerned.

New York Jan. 27.-The strike of the
garment workers of this city seems tx
be in a fair way of settlement so far
as the larger portion of the strikers
is concerned. At a conference yester.
day proposition, providing for slid.
ing scale of wages increase to be ap-
piled to both regular and piece workers
and 52-hour week, was made by repre-
sentatives of manufacturers, employing
about $4,000 of the more than 100000
garment workers who have been on
strike four weeks. to leaders of the
United Garment Workers of America.
That the union representatives tenta- :
lively accepted the proposal, agreeing
to place it before their executive board
for final action, is accepted as a favor
able development.
The proposition of the representatives
of the Manufacturers and Merchants as
sociation and the Clothing Contractors
association, as tentatively accepted,
calls for an immediate increase of ten
per cent. for all workers receiving Sl2
week or less; 7 ls2 per cent. for all
workers receiving more than $l2 and
less than SIS, and for all receiving more
than Sl5, an increase Of five per cent.
in no case is the increase to be less
than one dollar per week.
The New York Clothing Trades as
sociation, which has refused to recog-
nize the union or to deal with its rep
resentatives, is not party to the agree
ment. A letter addressed to the union
officials and signed by the representa-.
tives of the two manufacturers asso-
Citations agreeing to carry out their part
of the new contract will be delivered
to-day. The answer of the union execu-'
tive board is expected to be made early

Federal Investigation of

AS CONDUCTED IN
NEW YORK CITY
Representative Berger Asks
for Committee of
Seven

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 27.-An in.
vestigation Of conditions in the garment
working industry in New York is pro-
posed in a resolution introduced in the
House to-day by Representative Berger
the Socialist member from Wisconsin.
The resolution would authorize COM
mittee OF seven to inquire into the con.
ditions surrounding the trade and the
strike.
The resolution says the wages are
so low that healthy surroundings and
a decent standard of living have become
almost impossible. 1t is also charged,
says the preamble, that vice and crime
bred Of needless misery are concident
to the manufacture of the nations
and, further, that the manu-
facture is carried on in filthy and un-
sanitary places.

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred l.. Bres-
saw Miraculously Es-
capped Death
TURNED OUT OF ROAD
FOR ANOTHER TEAM
Whole Outfit Landed on the
Ice 35 Feet
Down

While driving from their home in
North Montpelier to Barre late Saturday
afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred l.. Bres-
saw were pitched headlong over a b.
foot embankment and emerged from th
accident without any broken bones,
feat which eye-witnesses to the affair
say probably could not be repeated with
! the same fortunate outcome in hum
dred years. The couple had reached the
creamery near the milpond when the
driver started to turn out for an ap.
| preaching team. On account OF ice in
the highway. the light wagon which they
occupied began to slew and before they
realized what was in store for them. the
brink OF the bank had been reached.
People in the vicinity saw the Bressaws
predieament, but the accident happened
SO suddenly they were unable TO be OF
any help.
Down over the bank went the driver.
his wife, the horse and the wagon. A
sheer drop of 80 feet, the neighbors say,
is unguarded for several yards along
the highway and it was down this bank
that the outfit was plunged. Before tho
base of the bank was reached the mar
and woman were out of the wagon and
to this circumstance. they doubtless owe
their lives. Both landed on the mill
pond, which was frozen over with solid
ice.
Mr.. Bressaw was taken home with
badly injured back and his wife received
severe cut on the head in addition to
other bruises. Neither will be able te
leave the house for several days The
horse was much the worse for the acci-
dent, although he sustained no broken
bones. Veterinarians say the animal can
be saved Portions of the wagon were
distributed all over the surface of TIE
pond and it is unlikely that it can ever
be repaired.
The accident has caused considerable
commotion in the section where ii hap
penei and people who are obliged to
travel the highway near the creamery
say they will insist that a guard rail
be constructed along the edge of the
bank.

To Incorporate Those Rates in the
Bill Before Extra Session.

Washington, d, G., Jan. 27.Demo-
cratic plans for downward revision OF
the wool schedule of the tariff were
under fire to-day before the House ways

that the committee will report at the
outset of the extra session virtually the
same wooden schedule as was incorporat-
ed in the wool bill that passed the
House n the first and second sessions
of this Congress and was vetoed by
President Taft.
The average ad valorem duty under
the present law is almost sixty per cent.
The Democratic bill would tax raw wool
twenty per cent. thirty per cent. on
yarn, blankets and cheaper fannels and
rates ranging from thirty to fifty
per cent. on cloths, ready-made clothing,
women's dressgoods and the like.
