months later, the strike still on in
Rochester, l came to Chicago and
had only worked 4 weeks when a
general strike was called her, which
was soon lost, and from that time
to the present the workers have been
beaten and the employers association
has been in the saddle.
After the strike was lost applied
to different firms for a position as
cutter and was told by each, Go to
the Medinah Temple and if you get

Medinah Temple and told them l had
a job waiting. l was rebUked for not
coming there first, told that ROsen-

without consulting the Medinah
agency, given the third degree, then
told that there were several ahead of
me who were more deserving, and
anyway they had to investigate.

association, told me they had re-

TEN of blacklist maintained by the
Employers assn in the clothing in
dustry with offices in the Medinah
Temple"
That is the beginning of a docu-
ment written by a cutter and sub
mitted to The Day Book by Frank
RosenblUm of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America to sub
stantiate his charge that the bosses
employment agency has a blackbau
system.
The two strongest members OF the
employers association which backs
this employment agency are KUppen-
heimer, a member of the unemplOy-
ment commission, whom ROsenblum
says causes a great deal of unem-
plOyment by the low wages he pays
to his tailOrs and by his interest in
the agency that bIackballs men, and
Hirsch, WickwiTe & Co.
Rosenblum cites the case of a man
who made a mistake and mixed up
vest notch collars with others, The
boss told him he would have to pay
IS for the error, though it cost the
firm nothing. The man refused to
pay and quit. He went to the bosses
employment agency in the Medinah
Temple, the only place he could get
a job, and was told he would have to
go back to the shop where he had
been working and pay the fine or he
wouldn't get any work. He wouldn't
pay and hasn't been able to get work
in any association house since.
Another man getting So a week
for work that usually receives $40
asked for a raise. It was refused.
He quit. The bosses agency told him
he would have to go back and work
for S12 or get out of the industry.
He stayed out three months and then
went back at $12.

DECLARES DECISION BASED ON STATEMENT HE MADE IN
 FIRST CAMPAIGN.
ANNOUNCEMENT A SURPRISE
Claims Friends Throughout the State Have Urged Him on Many Occa- sions to Offer For
 Reelection.

Governor Hays will not seek re. nomination.
 This announcement was made by the governor, following a long confer ence at his residence, 1900 Marshall street with close friends In a formal statement the governor said his de- cision was made because of the state ment he had made in his first cam- paign that he would not seek ronomi- nation after the term he is now serving.
 The statement follows:
 ITO the Citizens of Arkansas-rh question has been asked many times as to whether or not I would become candidate for reelection. l have never at any time made declaration to anyone that l would It is true 1 have had many strong solicitations to make the race. My friends throughout the state have urged me on many oc- casions to offer for reelection. They have pledged me their support and many have made strong appeals to me to pursue this course. For all this I am profoundly grateful. But in view of the fact that l stated in my speeches during my first campaign the following, to-wit;
 In conclusion, l say to you that will, to the best of my ability, carry out the principles of government for which l stand; and upon my sacred hnnnr .;1h 70 Him by whose help alone all good ends are accomplished. l pledge you and every citizen of my beloved na. tive state that 1 will faithfully, impar- tially perform my duty to you as I see 1t and return to you at the end of that time the office your trust has placed in my keeping. without spot or blemish.'
 T have decided, with gratitude to my friends, not to become a candi. date for reelection; and l herewith return at the close of the present term the office of governor of the State of Arkansas to the people without spo, or blemish from whence it came. Faith fully (Signed)
 George w. Hays"
 The announcement came as a sur prise to many. especially in Little Rock. It was said that Dinner C. Burn side. appointed member of the Board of Control of the State Charitable in- stitutions to succeed the late James Surridge. was to resign and that R. F. Allen of Little Rock, who has strong political support. would be ap- pointed. On good authority. it was said that MT Burnside would accom- pany his resignation with a statement that his appointment was temporary only and that he accepted it with that understanding in order to give the gov ernor time to consider more carefully before making a final selection.
 MT. Burnside said he has no inten- tion of resiGning. The report that the rumored change was being considered by the fact that Mir. Allen and his friends have been in close touch with the governors friends since the ao- pointment of MT. Burnside was an nounced, and the fact that MT. Allen was said to have attended the con- ference at the governors residence.
