Strikes Needless Were
Girls Treated as Well,
Says Their Leader.
TEN STRIKES BREAK
OUT IN A DAY
Seven Bridgeport Factories and
Three EdgeWater Plants
Affected.

II Mrs. John Jacob Aston showed the
same consideration for girls who make
her costumes that she does for her pet
dog, there would be no threat OF a gar
ment strike in New York at present
Benjamin Schlesinger, president OF
the international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, arrived yesterday to
mobilize the 10000 employees in the
tailoring and dressmaking shops for
the pending strike. The above state
inert is part of philippe he launched
against labor conditions in the gar
ment trade.
81 have just heard" he said, that
Mrs. John Jacob Aston bought a 81
steak for her pet dog. If she would show
the same solicitude for the girls who
make her gowns at her Fifth Avenue
tailors, there would be no need to
strike for better wages. If the rich
women who patronize these shops
could realize the heartrending struggle
Of the girls who make their dresses,
we would not be planning to tie up the
industry to enforce demands for decent
wages"
Seven new strikes making fourteen
now in progress-were instituted at
Bridgeport yesterday.
Sixty employees of the Spring Perch
Company walked out late in the day.
Then the night force of the American
Tube & Stamping Company went on
strike. Labor leaders say the day
force will take similar action to-day.
About three thousand are employed.
Employees of the Lone Laundry
struck when work from the Crawford
Laundry, where the employees are out,
was brought to the place. Two plants
of the Garfield Rubber Company were
tied up when the employees walked out.
While conferences were on with
organizers and representatives of the
George c. Bachelor and Crown Corset
Companies, regarding an adjustment,
700 employees walked out.
Last night $50 men in the Warner
sugar refinery, at Edgewater, n. j.,
went out on strike. All of the 900 men
in the General Chemical plant are out,
and also 300 employees of the Spencer
Kellogg Linseed Oil Company.
It is understood the Glucose Company
settled with its thousand men and pre-
vented a strike.
Strike measures will be vigorously

TRIAL SOUGHT
BY Mrs. SANGER
Believes Her Books on
Sex Will Not Be Proved
Illegal.
WILL PUT FAITH IN
PUBLIC ON RETURN
Husband Faces Jury on PAM
phlet Charge-Says Com
stock Framed" Him.

Believing that the attitude Of the
public toward the limitation of the size
of families has radically changed, Mrs.
Margaret II. Sanger, who was indicted
by the Federal grand jury year ago
for publishing articles on sex knowl-
edge, is considering returning to this
country to face trial. Mrs. Sanger is
entitled to a jury trial, and her friends
believe that the publicity given lately
to such subjects would have its effect
on the jurors. They say the fact that
there is an effort to have social hygiene
taught in the schools shows the COM
munity's attitude.
Her husband, william Sanger, who
accuses Anthony Comstock of having
framed him up" will be tried next
week on the charge of circulating one
of his wife's pamphlets. He, however,
will not have a jury trial. Gilbert l..
Roe will defend him.
Mr.. Sanger, whose friends describe
him as a mild-mannered architect, was
in his office in January OF this year
when a man who represented himself
as a Socialist asked for Mrs. Sanger's
pamphlet.
81 want to translate it into foreign
languages and distribute II among the
working people," he is reported to have
said
He turned out to be a detective for
Comstock. Mr.. Sanger was not charged
with violating the Federal law, as he
had sent nothing through the mail, but
with violating the state law.
In March Mr.. Roe endeavored to have
the case transferred from Special Ses-
sions to General Sessions on the
ground. as stated in an affidavit, that
Comstock had told Sanger the Judges
acted under his orders. The affidavit
quoted Comstock as saying:
take my advice and plead guilty
when YOU go downtown. | can fix il
with the Judges. The judges in Special
Sessions do whatever tell them TO do.
The LAWYERS request was not granted
and the case will be tried in Special
Sessions.
Mrs. Sanger, whose magazine, "The
Woman Rebel" was suppressed, has
been in Holland and England studying
the laws in those countries on the sub
ject in which she is specially interested
One of her friends said yesterday:
"Her last letter, written month
ago, said it was her intention to re.
. turn and face trial. believe she would
win her case. So far as her husband
case is concerned, think a jury would
readily acquit him when it was shown
that he had no intention of violating
the law. His wife already had been
indicted. Sanger did not wish to so to
Jail"

WANTS HIS ARREST
In OFFICE HOURS
Note Broker, Hitherto Always
"Pinched" Properly, Doesn't
Like Innovation.

Max NJ. Hart, a real estate and note
broker, with an Office at $50 Broadway,
has raised an interesting issue, which
he threatens to try out in the courts.
He contends that it is neither legal
nor proper for deputy sheriff to ar
rest a man after the Office has closed
for the day.
Hart was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Mcdonnell, and it is the first time Hart
was ever taken into custody-atter
hours. On other occasions he was al
ways arrested within the statute Of
limitations"
Hart was arrested on a judgment
which Isaac Abramowitz obtained
against him for S1,424. About year
ago an effort was made to arrest him
in Watertown, n. Y, in the same &C
ton, but he left that place before the
Sheriff could lay hands on him, not
even waiting to take his hat. On an
other occasion Hart was sentenced TO
five years in the Federal prison at At
lanta and 81 500 fine for mail fraud.
He was released pending an appeal.
Last March he was indicted for perjury
and held in $4,000.

LITTLE LOVE LETTER
COST HIN $4,000

One little love letter, carelessly left
where his wife could find it, cost
Charles +. Hutchinson, theatrical pro-
moter, of Demarest. n. j., $4,000. This
is the value of his wife's estate. IT
was willed TO him. but when the letter
was found his wife made a second will
giving him only a life interest in the
property. She died shortly after, and
the husband yesterday lost his action
in the Hackensack court to have the
instrument set aside.
This is the letter which cost Mr..
Hutchinson more than $500 a word:
Sweetheart: How much. oh. how
much, have longed for my bestest boy.

his boom for the Democratic nomina-

most serious note of the evening, one
TO which the diners responded with the
loudest applause. Referring to the fact
that in making up political tickets the
politicians usually gave representation
to various bodies of hyphenated Ameri-
cans Mr. Smythe said:
THE Harburgers were all right IN
their day, but this year we want an
American-an American all through ana
through. In the year of stress that we
are facing we want an American VINO
will guard this city from all harm that
may come to it
There was no beating around the
bush in the speech of big Bill" who,
as guard and captain, guided Prince
ton football team to victory. Il shall
make no pretence of yielding TO an
overwhelming public demand" he said.
Il do not confess that | am being Of
fered up as a public sacrifice. Such
practices have long since ceased to de-
ceive an intelligent people"
Frankly, he continued, he felt de-
sire to be of some public service, and
wanted the Office of Sheriff not only
for the honor but also for the oppor-
tunity to be of service.
Mr. Herrick spoke of the work neces..
sary to get the required number. OF
signatures if man had no organiza-
ton back of him. He asserted that

primary law he did not believe In 1t

people are forming the habit of
electing men to Office in whom they
believe, regardless of their political
creed or backing" said William c.
Freeman, the advertising man.
John II. w. Grim. former Assistant
United States Attorney, thought the
candidacy of "Big Bill" portended the
turning back of the Sheriff's Office from
the mere function of serving papers to
it's original Importance of keeping the
peace and defending the county from
its enemies.
Richard Dwight, former law partner
Of Justice Hughes. and John Buckle.
president of the Gansevoort Market

grams offering support were received
from Raymond b. Fosdick, former Com
