INDUSTRIAL COURTS WORK
FEDERAL BULLETIN TOPIC
Reports Many Grievances Of Cloak,
Suit and Skirt Makers Settled
Without Strike.

The success of the industrial court
Of the cloak. suit and skirt industry
in settling labor disputes is pointed
out in bulletin issued today by the
bureau of labor statistics of the De-
partment of Labor. Through this court
many grievances in these Industries
are settled without strike and with
out having the matter acted on by out
side conciliators.
When a dispute arises between en-
ployer and employee the aggrieved
party brings complaint through his
own organization to the board OF
grievances. whereupon two deputy
at once sent to Investigate the diff
Guilty and il possible secure an adj
justment.
out by the investigation, the deputy
clerks render a decision. or the mat
ter may be settled by mutual agree
ment. or may be dropped. Any case
adjusted by deputy clerks may be re-
opened by mutual consent of the mem
bers of the board of grievances.
Success Of Board.
In the event the deputy clerks dis
agree, the clerks of the board conduct
reinvestigation and II they cannot
agree the case goes automatically be-
fore the board of grievances.
The success of the board in making
the institution of clerks effective is
indicated by the fact that out of 1856
cases filed during the period from
April Is. 1911. to October 81. 1913.
7.477, or 97.7 per cent. were promptly
adjusted by the clerks and deputy
clerks.
Of the 17s cases referred to the board
IL involved a single issue so that
actually only 1853 issues were brought
before this body. OF these 159 were
satisfactorily settled. In only nine
cases. or one-tenth Of one per cent of
the total cases filed, did the board fail
to reach a decision; these cases were
referred to the board of arbitration.
which is the court of appeals in the
industry.

TELLS HOW TO SAVE TIME.
Milton Fairchild Lectures to EN-
ployes of Local Stores.

How to save time and how to employ
it to the best advantage. was explained
by Milton Fairchild, director of instruc-
ton of the National Institution for Moral
instruction and collaboration of the United
States bureau Of education. in a lecture
before the younger employees of one of
Washington's largest department stores

this lecture before many schools of the
country, but this is the first time it was
ever given to store employees and was
largely in the nature of an experiment.

WORKHORSE PARADE
ON FOURTH OF JULY
Will Be One Feature of Celebration
on Brightwood Reservoir
Grounds.

A parade Of workhorses in which hum
dreds of teams owned by the District, as
we'll as by private concerns. is to be one
OF the novel features of the horse SHOW
races and tournament at the Bright
wood reservoir grounds on independence
day.
Interest in this event already is be-
coming strongly manifest, and drivers
of scores of teams employed in the va
rious departments of the District gov
eminent are grooming their animals,
oiling harness and polishing brass trim
mings in preparation for the parade.
Teams from the surface, sewer, water,
street cleaning. fire and police depart
ments have been entered for the parade.
In addition to the teams owned by the
District, big list of entries has been
made by a number of business establish
ments owning several delivery teams.
The pony races. to be another feature
OF the events at the reservoir grounds.
are proving of much interest to the chill
dren, and already half a dozen entries
have been received for the events.
Mule Race for Comedy.
Comedy in the races is to be supplied
by the mule race, in which the animal
crossing the finish line last is to be the
winner. John w. Beale, superintendent
of stables of the engineer department
of the District of Columbia, has num-
Der of mules in training for the race, and
has at his own expense supplied bril-
liantly colored silk caps and blouses for
the jockeys who are to ride the mules.
Considerable progress was made today
in raising the remainder of the FUND
necessary to defray the expenses of the
big all-day municipal celebration. The
larger part of the required $1.4Oo bal
ance remains to be raised. however. and
persons desiring to contribute are urged
to lose no time, as the fact that July
1 is only eight days off gives little time
in which to close up arrangements for
what it is hoped will be Washington $
best biggest and sanest celebration of
independence day.
