Revenues.

Washington. July 22.-Holding thai
a years operation had shown the rates

GARMENT WORKERS
DEFY INDEPENDENTS
Send Strike Ultimatum
and Demand They Join
Association.

If the INDEPENDENT children's jacket
makers do not grant the demands of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers Of
America and join the manufacturers
association by noon to-day President
Sidney Uillman Of the union Will call
a strike Of 10000 men. This strike Will
be followed by "A walk-out Of 10000 men
working ir Independent mems cloth
ing shops, if a similar request IN their
case is not respected.
The conference between the Chill
dren's Jacket Makers Union and the
Children's Clothing Manufacturers As
ISOLATION held at the Hotel Brevoort
yesterday resulted in an amicable ar
rangement between the two, similar to
the agreement made with the American
Clothing Manufacturers Association
the day before. This means that a
strike Of 10000 more men has been
averted.
The 25,OOO members Of the mems
clothing industry who were scheduled
to strike to-day as result OF the IN
dependent shops holding of from JOIN
ing the manufacturers association
will remain at work until next Monday.
The reason for this postponement is
that a great many of the independents
have already signitied their Willingness
to meet the unions demands, while 9TH
ers have made inquiries, so that MI
Hillman has deemed it advisable to
continue negotiations since a friendly
spirit has been manifested.
II is believed that the Children
Clothing Manufacturers Association
and the American Clothing Manuiact-
urers' Association are negotiating with
a view of amalgamting the two branches
of the trade into one organization.

NEW CONSERVATION
POLICY DRAWN UP
Provides More Rigid Protection
-FOur-Year Term Meets
Opposition.
From . s,ar Correspondent Of Tho Tribune. !


Albany, July % Only vigorous
Speeding up will carry the Constitu-
tional Convention through any conse-
quental amount of work. That is
why George w. Wickersham, floor
leader of the convention, moved to-day
that delegates sit morning, afternoon
and evening every day, beginning Mon
day. The motion will come up for
debate tomorrow.
The convention, which has been sit
ting more than three and one-half
months, longer than the life of an
average Legislature, up to date has
done nothing constructive. Talk, and
talk only, has distinguished most Of
its sessions. Two of the leading dele
gates declared tonight that the cry
ing need was leadership.
None believe that the original plan
Of the leaders to adjourn sine die on
August Is will 90 into effect. Few
think that adjournment will take place
before the middle Of September. Many
expect a fall session.
The Conservation Committee, of
which Charles VI. Dow, Of jamestown,
is chairman, decided to-day to submit
TO the convention next week a report
outlining a conservation policy for the
next twenty years. 1t will propose a
board similar TO the Board of Regents,
one member to be elected from each Of
the nine judicial districts. These shall
have control of the forests, water pow
