125, 900 GARMENT WORKERS
DECLARE STRIKE IN EAST
Men and Women Are involved In Gil
santie StrUgaIe-Waikout Is
Far Reaching.

New York, Dec. 31.--A strike
which may tie up the clothing indus
try was inaugurated on Monday by the
cutters, machine operators, pressers
and tailors employed in factories of
New York, Newark and Jersey City
in which mems and boys clothing is
manufactured.
Officials of the United Garment
Workers of America estimate that up
wards of 125,000 workers in this In
dustry will fill the ranks of the strik-
ers. They include about $4,000 men
and about 10000 women.
This is the first strike against the
clothing manufacturers, the one three
years ago having been waged against
the contractors. The estimated out
put of the manufacturers who will be
affected is $3.50, 100000 annually.
The strike was ordered by members
of the "a locals of the United Garment
Workers having headquarters in New
York, Jersey City and Newark by
formal ballot. Forty thousand mem
bers voted for striking and only 5000
against it.
THE object of the strike said one
of the organizers, SIS to end the unsan-
itary conditions under which in many
instances clothing is now being manu-
featured in this city and vicinity. to Sc
cure from fifteen to twenty per cent.
increase in wages and have the men
paid on a weekly basis; to reduce the
working hours to eight hours day
and to abolish the system of tenement
house work and incidental child labor.
THE records show that the largest
number of recruits to sanitariunis and
hospitals for tuberculosis in this city
come from the ranks of the garment
workers and this dread disease is con-
tracted because of the long hours and
conditions under which they are
forced to labor.
THE average weekly earnings in
none of these branches is more than
$40 a week.

WILSON IS FOR
IGREAT SIMPLICITY
Against Lavish Display During
His Inauguration.
SENDS WORD TO COMMITTEE
Considers Parades on March 4 Danger.
Gus to Those Who Attend-His
Wishes Will Probably Be
Ignored.

Washington. Dec. 31.-William F.
McCombs, chairman of the Democrat
ic national committee, brought to the
inaugural committee here the follow
ing message from President-elect
Wilson:
Il want the greatest possible sim
plicity In connection with my inaugu-
ration as president of the United
States. "-Fresident-elect Woodrow
Wilson.
This message from the next presi-
dent was carried to the inaugural COM
mittee here by William F. McCombs,
the chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee and spokesman for
the president-elect.
Mr.. McCombs left Governor Will
sons train from Staunton. where the
governor had been visiting, and which
was his birthplace, as the train passed
through Washington to deliver this
message from the president-elect to
Chairman William Corcoran Eustis, in
charge of the Inauguration arrange
ments, with whom he was in confer
ence.
Il believe in return of our presi.
dents to the Jeffersonian idea of sim
plicity," commented Governor Wilson
II think that these great parades on
March 4. considering the danger of in
clement weather in Washington, i'm
peril too many lives"
Notwithstanding the wishes of Gov
ernor Wilson the parade and the in
augural ball will be features of the in
auguration as they have been in previ-
Gus inaugurals. The local committee
decided to go ahead with it's plans to
make the Inauguration of Governor
Wilson as president the biggest event
of its kind that has ever been held
But there is trouble about the place in
which to hold the ball.
For several years it has been held
in the pension office. A protest has
been made that the function has in
terfered with the business of the Of
fee and that for days after the ball
was held there was confusion and dis
arrangement of papers. James Pres
ton, superintendent of the senate gal
leries, suggests that the ball be held
In the capitol building, the dancing to
be in the great rotunda and the recep-
ton in the private committee rooms
adjoining.

DRAFT STATE BOXING BILL
Wisconsin Fight Fans After Commits
sion Similar to New York Body
Think Bill Will Meet With Favor.

Kenosha.--The proposed bill to
permit boxing in this state under the
management of a state commission
similar to the one in New York is
being drafted by an attorney employ
ed by the local fight promoters and
will be presented to the legislature
soon after it convenes at Madison on
Jan. 8. Before the bill finally is pre-
scented, however. the attorneys repre-
senting the promoters will go to New
York to confer with the commission
ers there so that the Wisconsin law,
if it becomes a law, will be the last
word IN progressive legislation per-
tanning to the boxing game. It is be-
lieved in sporting circles that the bill
will meet with ready favor among the
legislators.
