HOLDUPS
AT WORK
in TOWN

Two bold holdups occurred in
Tacoma Thursday night, one in a
Pacific avenue store and the other
in brightly lighted service sta
ton of the Standard Oil company
The first was in Samuel n.
Witenberg's clothing store, 1912
Pacific avenue, at O'Clock.
Two unmasked men entered the
store, aimed revolvers at Witen-
berg, and demanded that he hand
over his money. The manager
protested, and received a blow
with the butt of revolver over
his head, in reply.
Then Weinberg started shout
ing for help. The bandits appar-
emily were not "gun-men," as they
turned and fled.
At 3 O'Clock an unmasked man
entered the Standard Oil station
at Tacoma ave. and Center streets
and told +. X. Fulton, the agent,
to hand over the cash register con-
tents.
With a revolver pressed close
to his side, Fulton allowed the
bandit to scoop out $40 in cash.

LOTUS GRILL Is EXPANDING

A. Akin, proprietor of the Lotus

next door.
The new establishment will be
opened Sunday afternoon.
The mahogany woodwork of
the old Lotus alone is said to have
cost $500, the paintings are
valued at hundreds of dollars,
and the fixtures, upholstery, etc.,
are in keeping.
These are being retained, and

He told of recent tour of in
spection of the storage ware
houses of Seattle and suggested
that the dairymen, If they joined,
might have large quantities of
hay shipped from east of the
mountains, storing it and having
1t sent them as fast as they need
ed 1t. The cost of storage, he
said, is but 65 cents ton for the
first month, and 20 cents for each
month thereafter.
Another advantage of cooper
alton, Mr.. Paulhamus indicated,
would be the ability of an Or
ganized party of dairymen to
borrow money at the banks in any
amount needed.

STATE DAIRYMEN URGED

The relations of the dairy farm

vention of the state dairymen at
Auburn Friday.
In an address by w. II. Paulha-
mus of Sumner the dairymen
were urged Thursday to organize
and cooperate as a measure of
self-defense against the high price
of feed.
Mr.. Paulhamus took the view
that the cost of production and
marketing could be controlled by
cooperation. There is no ex-
cuse for the present exorbitant
prices, he declared.

POLICE RAID

The first raid since Commits

handing the removal of all cleo
trio or automatic locks on l,otel
or rooming house doors occurred
Thursday night when a squad of
police cleared out" the Broadway
Social club, 13251a Broadway.
Although the automatic lock
had not yet been removed from
the front door, police had sent a
special officer into the place
earlier in the evening, and he had
played poker with several of the
inmates, they say. When Capt.
Cornish's squad threatened to
break down the doors, a man up
I stairs pressed a button releasing
the lock.
Thirteen men were found in the
Social club rooms. BY the time
police arrived all evidences If
poker had been swept aside, and
! the men were calmly playing
pitch" A search of the rooms
brought out "a decks and two
boxes of chips. The police tore
out all fixtures of the place.
c. II. Bartowe was charged with
managing the game, and released
on $50 bail. The II other pris-
oners were charged with being in
a gambling house. Andy Vitco-

recently run out of Elbe by COUNT

was hiding bootlegger whisky in a

ing Prices.

The twelvc-wecks-old garment strike
came to an end yesterday.
While all details Of the settlement
have not yet been worked out, the
agreements already reached and the
temper of both employers and employees
left little opportunity for further seri-
Gus disagreement. This much was
shown by q statement issued by work
ers and employers representatives at
the close Of yesterdays session
The statement explained that certain
matters had not yet been reached by
those taking part in the conference,
but that these would be taken up Mon
day at another full conference. At this
meeting, it was explained, it was ex-
pected TO complete the agreement
The prospective settlement between
the strikers and manufacturers was
reached after nine attempts, through the
Mayor, concilistion committees and
members Of the American Federation Of
labor, had resulted unsuccessfully. For
three months nearly 10000 strikers had
been suffering from starvation while the
New-York tribune., 1916-07-23

heads Of both factions wrangled over
principles. Tho news that the strike
had been settled. that they would re-
turn TO work within a few days, swept
the east side yesterday and brought
forth the widest enthusiasm from the
strikers.
Many major concessions were granted
the strikers. Louis +. Levy, attorney
for the manufacturers association. de-
clsred late yesterday afternoon that
every important question had been set
tied. II was learned that the workers
will receive, according TO the new
agreement 10 be drawn up and ratihed
by the strikers, per cent wage in
crease, the forty-nine hour week. the
preferential union shop and n standard
price rate for garments. For this last
concession the strikers waived their
demand for an impartial delegate 70 be
present when the price OF each gar
ment is fixed. II was this demand that
broke up the conference last Tuesday.
Sweatshop Question Settled.
Another difficulty which was settled
was the status of the sub contractor,
or the sweatshop system. The system
was one which caused friction when
ever IL came up in union circles. The
manufacturers agreed yesterday to
register the sub-contractors. The man
ufacturers will also keep the union in
formed as 70 the status of and gen
eral conditions surrounding the sub
contractor. The question regarding
the sub manufacturers was also set
tied in favor of the union, il was re-
ported. and holiday arrangements for
workers, not an unimportant item in
the demands of the strikers, were ar
ranged for.
The first intimation that the strike
was settled was made public in the
East Side shortly before nightfsll. For
weeks the strikers had been praying
for a cessation of hostilities. Their
children were crying for bread. Most
Of them were unable 20 pay their rent.
When the announcement came yester-
day that peace had at last been secured
in the garment trades there was such
10Y SIS the East Side has seldom seen
before. Great crowds gathered in front
of the newspaper Offices on East Broad
way, opposite Seward Park, and cheered
as the results Of the conference were
marked down on the bulletin boards.
Fourteen members of the sssocia-
tion conferred with an equal number Of
strike leaders. The union was headed
by Benjamin Schlesinger and the as
ISOLATION by f. J. Vile, its president.
According to Mr.. Schlesinger, the
agreement will have to be submitted
to the strikers; If it is ratified by them
it will 60 into instant effect.
The strike has lasted more than
twelve weeks. In effect it was really a
lockout on the part Of the employers,
for the workers found themselves shut

out Of their shops In April. Ihey nao
intended going on strike, but NOT pc
fore July, the month Of preparation
among manufacturers of cloaks ana
suits for the fall trade.
Since the hvstilities began tne
strikers suffered greatly. Most OF inc
men and women earned only smhii pay
during the line Of employment rev
of them had been able 10 save. AS
result, the misery among the aheeted
persons in the East Side attracted the
attention of several philanthropists
and persons Of influence. The Citizens
Committee was started 20 alleviate the
sufferings Of tho half-starved strikers
Single persons were permitted SZ
week and heads Of families 81. To
raise the $4,000 minimum necessary
the United Hebrew Trades cooperated
with the Citizens Committee. Even
then the situation was daily growing
more serious.
While the workers were attempting
to meet the difficult situation the en-
ployers and the union heads were ne
rotiating. Mayor Mitchell attempted
to intercede, but the manufacturers
association decided not to become
party to the conference that had been
suggested. Meantime, the manutactur-
ors were cordemning the union. Thesy
even threatened to withdraw their
shops from the city.
Samuel Gompers was chosen 10 pre-
side at conference of the two fac,
tions recently. The employers and
union heads had already met for sew
eral days. without any success. MI.
uompers also failed to bring about a
reconciliation. II was reported at that
time that the main difficulty was the
preferential shop.
First Signs Of Peace.
When Mr.. Gompers left the union
heads insisted on a board OF arbitra-
ton. A letter from ex-Ambassador
Morgenthsu TO President Wilson re-
suited in tho Chief Executive submit
ting to Secretary of Labor wilson the
problem presented by the strike. On
receipt of information that Federal IN
tervention was planned, T.. j. Vile,
PRESIDENT OF the Manufacturers Asso-
citation, and Benjamin Schlesinger,
through their counsel, suggested an
other conference. This conference was
held Thursday, but resulted in dis
agreement over the price expert, or
system Of base rates.
Another conference on Friday also
resulted in disagreement, but an at
tempt was being made, it was notice
able, to hurry up the settlement of
difficulties.
When the two factions met in con-
ference yesterday morning they agreed
on practically few points. They were
still at odds over the outside shop, the
increase in wages and hours, among
other difficulties.
