ticaIly no nonunion workers in the
place.
The last batch Of workers came
out when the suspender and garter
makers, who number about Is, fol-
lowed 800 garment workers to the
I West Side Auditorium yesterday.
Herzog is not putting out sweatshOp
garments to be sold by Julius ROsen-
waId's Sears-Roebuck mail order
house.
With the coming out of the gar
ment workers, stories of violation Of
the ten-hour law for women are
cropping out.
On July 1, according to the girls,
the employees of the cutting depart
ment of HerzOg's, worked from 8 a.
m. until 1870 p. m, with a half hour
for lunch.
At $50, when their ten-hOUr day
was up, the foreman, the girls claim,
asked each for her number and regis
tered them as having quit on the
time clock which the factory keeps.
This will be reported to State Fac
tory Inspector Oscar Nelson IN IN
vestigation.
The success of the garment work
ers in New York is one cause for the
unrest here, according to Fannie Co
hen. organizer Of the Ladies Waist,
Dress, Corset and White Goods Work
ers' union, No. SO.
'SsThe wages of garment workers in
New York and Chicago are not to be
compared y she declared today. "The
success of the fasteners has caused
the workers of Chicago to look up.
There is an uneasy feeling among the
girls.

MEXICAN GULF STORM DEATH
TOLL REACHES 1888
Galveston, Tex, Aug. 21.-One
hundred and eighty-three dead had
been accounted for today as the toll
of the gulf storm. Less than one
hundred are still missing, and it is
believed that many of these will be
found alive.
The previous estimate of $5O,OOO,-
900 property loss in the entire storm
area has not been changed.
Relief work is progressing rapidly.
An emergency water supply has been
turned into Galveston's mains, and
only bread is now needed. Appeals
for aid have been sent out from the
towns along East Galveston bay
which suffered more severely than in
the storm of 1900 Roads are being
cleared of debris and supplies rushed
to those places.
TEN DEAD IN ST. LOUIS STORM
St. Louis.-Bodies of ten negroes
victims of st. Louis food, recovered.
Fear that East Alton, BenbOw City
and other Illinois towns may suffer
heavily from rising waters. Rain
stopped falling today.
Police are seeking six persons re-
ported by their relatives to be missing -
and who, it is feared, were drowned.
More than a thousand families were
rendered homeless and property loss
was estimated roughly at 81, 100000

''The indignities practiced by the
foremen upon the girls would have
been reported and our troubles could
have been settled without a strike.
We don't want a strike. We want a

Nathan Herzog, president of the
factories, at noon today sent word
to the strikers that he would meet
a delegation of them this afternoon.

DIDN'T CATCH A THING
In Which the "BOss" Returns From
a Fishing Trip Without Fish.


| The "Boss"-his name appears in
the third line of the first column on
the fourth page-has returned. He
came back Sunday-not today-so
there should be no suspicion as to his
actions on the Sabbath. His arrival in
Topeka was signalized by the most
complete assortment of fishing equip
ment ever witnessed by one of his re-
porters. While he was alighting from
the passenger coach, three striped
jacketed men were unloading the
tempting apparatus from the baggage
car.
And that's all he brought back-the
apparatus.
The Boss has pond all his own
out near his country home. Bah
who wants to fish in a bucket. Then
he has an automobile which brings to
his very door scores of fishing holes
near Topeka. Alas! Even a fishing
pole is without honor in its own coun-
try, So the Boss listened to the ap-
peal of the famous space-artiSt, Dave
Leahy, who has spent the last ten
months at Ell Dorado and claims to be
we'll acquainted with the habitat of the
fin tribe in the Walnut
F. p. M. went to Ell Dorado-fish-
ing tackle, jangling minnow buckets,
purring reels, tantalizing artificial bait
and all.
He's back. Yep. he's settled once
more in Topeka. On that jaunt along
the Walnut one man in the party of
five caught cat fish, and while the
BOSS" was introducing him to one
of his silk -threaded-braided and brass
holder stringers. the fish flip-flopped
a fox-trot down the bank and swan
majestically down the creek-silk
stringer and ALL
Another fish was caught on that ex-
petition. This poor creature was
cooked and sliced into five pieces that
all might taste the blood of the con-
flict. Each man was given a souvenir
of that unfortunate fish that insisted
upon swimming too close to the shore
The BOSS" isn't saying anything
than the mere fact that he had q very
enjoyable time" The office admits
that he did. You can expect nothing
else from the entertainers there. Ell
Dorado is a mighty good type of a
Kansas town and Dave Leahy never
failed on an errand of this kind.
But the office cannot refrain from
saying something about the "Bosss'
trip. If anyone else in town left and
returned with such a collection of
sporting goods, the reporters wouldn't

this risk is taken.

that goes in the paper-he usually
waits until it comes out in print

NICKALLS HAS NOT
RESIGNED POSITION
AS PENN'S COACH
British Rowing Expert
Will Be Back Next Year
to Complete His Three
/ year Contract With
Crews.

Vivian Nickalls, coach Of the University
Of Pennsylvania crews, has not resigned
his position, as reported, but will return
and complete the third year Of his con-
tract This positive statement was made
today at noon by Howard Eisenbrey,
chairman OF the Rowing Committee.
'The statement that Mr.. Nickalls re-
signed Is totally wrong" said Mr.. Eisen-
brey. Naturally, he was much dlsap-
pointed at the poor showing OF his crews
In the PoughJeepsie regatta. He was
more or less worried over the outcome,
and the day following told the committee
that they need feel no hesltancy In tell
ing him In they thought any one else
could ili the position better. There has
been the best OF cooperation between Mr.
Nickalls and the committee and no one
would listen TO such a suggestion.
''Mr. NicKalls has no desire to terminate
his contract, and every one connected
with rowing at Pennsylvania. including
the members OF the rowing squad, arc
unanimously in favor OF him.
mo one blames Ncsalls for the failure
or the Pennsylvania crew. We have seen
enough of his work in the last two years
20 appreciate the fact that he is one Of
the best coaches in the country. No one
could have developed a winner with so
many men taken out OF the boat at crit-
cal moments with sickness inellglbillty
and other causes"
Mr.. Nickals intends to remain in the
city for most OF the summer In addition
to coaching the Pennsylvania oarsmen
