GARMENT WORKERS REBEL
Not More Than Half OF Waist Makers
Viii Obey Orders

New York-An announced settle
ment Of the strike in the dress and
shirtwaist branch Of the garment-mak-
ing industry. promising to send $4,000
operatives back to work. was followed
almost at once by rebellion among en-
ployes affected against the terms their
leaders had agreed upon with the man
ufacturers.
Two meetings to rattfy the agree
ment between the manufacturers and
the leaders OF the dress and shirtwaist
branches of the garment-making In
dustry, by which the strikers are to
return to work, were held Sunday. At
both there seemed to be only half
hearted acouiescence by the workers
in the plans OF their leaders. The
protocol affects 129 shops and close
to 10000 operatives. 1t Is expected,
however. that only about half the
operatives will return. Even IL all 60
back. 1t would leave more than 100. 1000
workers still on strike in other
branches of the garment trades.

OUR SEATTLE LETTER

Seattle, Jan. Is. 1913.
The Progressive Party of the
State OF Washington is very much
alive. The spirit shown at the big
Conference held here last week
bodies i'll for the standpatters of
both old parties. For two days
there was a succession OF the most
enthusiastic meetings, attended by
ceveral hundred delegates from all
parts of the State. While the State
Central Committee was meeting in
one place, the Progressive mem
bers of the legislature came toget-
her in another and seriously and
enthusiastically discussed the bills
they intended to introduce and fight
for in an honest effort to perform
the contract made with the people
in the Progressive Party platform.
At the same time the Progressive
editors of the state were touching
elbows in a new compact organiZa-
fighting for progress
T. And bigger and liyelier than all
of these meetings was the Progress
sive Mass Conference itself, which
was at the same time filling the
roof ring with their cheers for the
Progressive leaders and the Pro-
gressive principles. Through all of
the meetings and in nearly every
speech there was heard a ringing,
challenging slogan of mo Compro-
mise"
And then in order that there
might be no possibility of a misun-
"a mi mel,
dopted a resolution declaring that
the Progressive Party will not en-
ter into combination with any other
the planks of its own platform,
The dollar dinner" crowded the
big hall of the "Rathskeller" and
for over four hours the leading or
ators of the Party held sway under
the direction of toastmaster Govnor
Teats of Tacoma.
The meetings continued all day
Saturday with increasing numbers
and enthusiasm and closed by unan-
mously adopting the report of the
committee on organization which
called for the immediate and thor
ough organization of every county
in the State Every Progressive
voter in the State is asked to en-
roll and to make a contribution of
$1.O6 year. seventy-five cents of
which shall go to the County fund
and twenty-five cents towards the
general work of the State organiza-
tion.
The delegates ended the Confer
ence by singing THE Battle Hymn
of the Republic" which was adopt
ed as the official hymn of the Pro-
gressivs party of this State.

TURKEY CALLS
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

Constantinople.-Th government
decided to convene the national assem-.
bly, Tuesday to take the Balkan situa'
tion under consideration.
A serious quarrel occurred recently
on the Turkish warships in the Oar
danelles between officers who were
anxious to fight the Greeks and Others
who considered that the Turkish fleet
was no match for the enemy. Blows
were exchanged and before the quarrel
was settled Is officers were wounded.
Trouble has arisen through the cir
culation Of a manifesto signed "The
Women Of Turkey" suggesting that
the forts should sink the Turkish war
ships. whose poor-spirited officers al
ways fled at the approach Of the Greek
fleet.
