suit business knows that IL is absurd
for the manufacturers to leave the city
20 avoid labor trouble. This city Is
the home OF the trade, and IL would
be a losing proposition to manufacture
outside the greater city"
f. j. Vile, president OF the manu-
facturers' association. said that the
cloak and suit interests did a business
in this city amounting 10 $3.50, 100000 a
year. and that about S90,000,000 Of 1t
was paid TO labor. Persistency on the
part of the strikers, he said. would
cause the manufacturers TO leave the
city, and the brunt OF the loss would
be borne By the strikers.
A new association, called the hide
pendent Cloak and Suit Manufacturers
Association, was formed yesterday, and
had its first meeting at the Hotel Nc
Alpin. Max Newman. the president, said
a committee would confer with the
Mayor on Monday in the hope OF bring
ing about settlement OF the differ
ences between striker and manu-
facturer. The Mutual Cloak and Suit
Manufacturers Association, also OF re
cent origin, has decided on plan Of
arbitration.
Sixty women were arrested IN New
ark yesterday following an outbreak OF

Severe Censure of Manu-
facturers' Association
Follows Inquiry.
STRIKERS SEND OUT
5000 AS PICKETS
Unions Plan Parade of 1000 on
Monday-Rise in Suit
Prices Predicted.

An arraignment of the Cloak Manu-
facturers' Protective Association as
severe as that made recently by group
of Columbia professors is contained in
a report forwarded last night to the
Industrial Relations Committee by the
Rand School of Social Science.
THE cloak, suit and skirt making in
dustry has made millions Of dollars for
manufacturers in this city," says the
report. "Yet those who by their labor
provide this wealth are compelled to
live on starvation wages throughout a
greater part of the year.
Conditions in many Of the shops are
bad. We find that the very worst state
Of affairs often exists in the sweat
shops kept up by the leading manu-
facturers of the association"
An exhaustive study of the home
conditions Of the 10000 employees
either striking or locked out from their
shops was made by investigators from
the Rand School. II revealed that the
average weekly wage Of the cloak, suit
and skirt worker is but $40; that three
fcurths of the workers are married and
have an average of six persons to sup
port; that the average working family
lives in a three-room fiat; that large
percentage of the workers are tubercu-
lar. and that of all those examined but
2 per cent were found Of absolutely
sound body.
A parade of 1000 striking cloak and
suit makers on Monday and the send
ing out of a picket army of about eight
thousand were announced yesterday by
the international Ladies Garment
Workers Union. The union chiefs
are confident of ultimate victory over
the manufacturers, and they believe
that only sixty of the 400 shops will
continue to hold out against the unions
after August /.
Benjamin Schlesinger, president Of
the international Ladies Garment
Workers Union, declared that the
manufacturers were taking advantage
of the strike and would raise the prices
so per cent on women's cloaks and
suits.
when the dressmakers and ladies'
tailors learn that il is cheaper TO have
clothing made than to buy it ready
made" said Schlesinger, they also will
raise their prices. There has been a
lot of talk about the strike causing
manufacturers to move out of the city.
This, too. is an alarm spread by the
manufacturers to attract sympathy to
their side. Everybody in the cloak and

Wants Two Americas to
Adopt a 2O-Cent
Standard.
MAKES FINANCIAL
PREPAREDNESS PLEA
Chairman Davies of Federal Re-
serve Commission Speaker
at Bankers Dinner.

Atlantic City. June AN appeal for
financial preparedness. for Pan
American union of banks and for wider
powers for the Federal Reserve Board
was made to-day by Paul NJ. Warburg,
member of the board, before the New
York State Bankers Association, in
session here.
Mr.. Warburg severely took TO task
many New York importers for what
he designated as their folly" in not
using American exchange. He recon-
monded that all the republics in the
two Americas adopt a uniform none
tary standard. with its principal unit
a coin equal in value to 20 cents IN
United States money.
"With our increasing financial
strength, and with the daily diminution
of Europe's saving power, it stands to
reason that our discount rates will
compare favorably with those of
Europe for a long time to come he
declared. South America considers
the creation Of the Federal Reserve
system as a great achievement.
"The strength and lending power OF
the reserve banks should be greatly
