Big CUT IN FACTORY
WORKERS IN 9TH AVE.
Association to Strive Also for
Limit on the Height Of
Buildings.

Tho annual report 81 tho Firth Avenue
Association read at the annual meeting
on February l by President Robert
Grier Cooke and now printed refers II
the movement for the abolition OF
paradcs In Flf'h avenue and the cam
paien for the removal Of factories along
that thoroughfare as the most note
worthy achievements OF the year.
The latter accomplishment wa made
possible largely by the passage OF tho
occupancy law" which in genera! limits
the number OF employees OF a concern 20
the number and width Of the exits.
Prior 20 the enforcement of this act the
number OF employees in garment fac
tories WAS 13.5N2 II l. the hope OF the
association thai this number can be re-
duccd TO $4,000. Up to tho present the
number Of garment workers has been
reduced by about 10000 through the
enforcement OF the law. This reduction
has helped to eliminate The sidewalk con-
gcstiun during The noon hour.
Limitation Of building heights Is an
other matter 10 which the association
has given much attention. Mr.. Cooke
says the association will work this year
for legislation 10 project the avenue for
all time from buildings moro than 1873
feet high at the street line.
Tn annual dinner OF the association
was not he'd In 1914 because OF the war
and the money contributed for that
event was donated TO the Red Cross
movement. irrespective of nationality.
During tn" last two years the Fifth
avenue bus service has increased more
than 100 per cent and the shopping dis.
trict now has service during business
hours of from ninety to 40 buses an

At Tho beginning OF 1910 there were
