GARMENT WORKERS. STRIKE
Continues After Efforts To Arbitratc
Differences Fail.

New York, July 1s.-The conference
between officials of the Garment Work
ers' Union and manufacturers of the
manufacturers came to an end today
without reaching an agreement, 1t has
been hoped that the conferees would
settle the strike and lockout, which for
three months has kept 10000 workers
idle
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
participated in the conference, made the
announcement that the conference had
failed,
The demand of the workers for a
minimum wage was the issue, it was
said, upon which the conferees, after
seven days of discussion, came to a
deadlock. Representatives of both sides
expressed the opinion that the lockout
and strike would continue.

CIGAR MAKERS CONFER.

Reading, Pa-At special meeting of
the Blue Label League of Pennsylvania,
called to consider methods to advance
the interests of cigarmakers in eastern
Pennsylvania, most of the time was de-
voted to the Otto Eisenlohr Bros, man
ufacturers of Cinco cigars. The non
union cigar makers employed by this
concern suspended work several weeks
ago and the Cigarmakers union is as
sisting them. The firm maintains fac
tories in 20 different localities and here
tofore has stitled protests by announcing
it would move its factory
AT the conference the unonists show
ed that wages have been reduced at will,
unbearable working conditions imposed,
promises made and then broken, and en-
ployes blacklisted for the slightest Of
fensc.
A general appeal will be made by the
cigarmakers to assist them in securing
standard conditions at the factories own
ed by this concern.

COMPENSATION LAW UPHELD

Pittsburg, Pa.-Justice Brown Of the
mems compensation act which was at
tackled on four counts in an appeal in
the case of William Anderson against
the Carnegie Steel company.
The overworked claim that legislation
of this character conflicts with the four
teenth amendment of the federal con-
stitution was held to be groundless by
Justice Brown, who said that while
rights of property created by the un-
written law cannot be taken away with
out due process of law, the common law
itself may be changed by statute
Indeed" the justice continues, "the
great office of statutes is to remedy de-
fects in the common law as they are de-
veloped, and to adopt it to the changes
of the time and circumstances"
The second attack on the act charged
that it interfered with the right of the
individual to make his own contract.
Justice Brown answers this as follows ::
AT the time the act was passed, the
settled law of this State was that a
contract limiting or releasing damages
for future negligence was against public
policy. The act is but statutory ex-
tension of the same principle
With reference to the third attack,
that the act deprives the right of trial
by jury Justice Brown says:
Nothing is to be found in the said
three sections depriving employer or en-
ploye of the constitutional right of a
trial by jury. They merely permit a
waiver of the same, if both so agree, and
neither the federal nor State constitu-
ton precludes such waiver
The fourth attack on the act was that
it limited the amount to be recovered for
injuries.
1t need only be said of this conten-
ton Justice Brown concludes, that the
amount to be recovered for injuries to
an employe is limited only when the par
ties to the contract of employment so
agree

MAY ADJUST GARMENT LOCK
OUT.

New York.-The Cloak, Suit and
Manufacturers Association has been de-
featcd in its efforts to destroy the
Ladies Garment Workers Unions and
has accepted an invitation of Mayor
Mitchell to confer with the locked out
workers.
Conferences began last Monday, but
the workers are maintaining their picket
lines and in every other way conducting
vigorous defense against the employ
ers' anti-union position.
On April 2s last the manufacturers
terminated an agreement signed by both
parties, July 23, 1915, which stipulated :
This agreement to continue for period
of two years" The agreement provided
for a conciliation committee to which all
differences were to be referred.

legal holidays. The men will not work
on Labor Day. nor will drivers, chauf-
fcurs and helpers be compelled to report
on Sundays for barn work
No member OF the union is to carry
freight further than the door of the
store, it being understood that freight
means original packages. Broken or
small packages may be delivered inside
the door. In case of delivery of such
goods as may be affected by rain, heat
or cold, it is said the driver may be of
reasonable assistance in caring for such
goods, providing he is not asked to go
beyond such a point so he can not see
his wagon. Teamsters will deliver goods
on skids or chutes of any person having
such contrivance adjacent to his build
ing.
To Have Arbitration.
Differences that can not be adjusted
between employer and the union shall be
referred to a committee of five mem
bers, two selected by the employer, two
by the union, and they to meet and select
the fifth member. While the difference
is pending before the committee there
shall be no lockout or strike and the
decision of the committee will be final
Eltner Slde desiring TO make any
changes in the agreement must give
thirty days notice prior to the expira-
ton of the contract, otherwise the agree
ment is to remain in full force and
effect
Conferences between the Association
and the union on the new contract have
been of the most friendly nature Union
officials said the new agreement would
effect nearly 700 union men. Nearly
seventy non-union employees, it is said
will have to become members of the
organization.
Union officials said the organization
will request all team owners not mem
bers of the Cincinnati Team Owners
Association to grant similar conditions

MAKE Discomfort A CRIME

Admission, Ala.-Several years ago
this State invented a principle and pass
ed a law under which an employer could
hold any person, once entering a con-
tract, tohserVe' as long as the employer
pleased. The United States Supreme
court said the principle was wrong and
the law was unconstitutional.
The Admission city council is now sing
ing the old song with a new tune, and
has fixed things so that one man may
quit, but that's the limit. The city coun-
Gil has awakened to industrial unrest,
and has passed law covering the ques-
ton.
Hereafter it will be illegal for two or
more persons to conspire for the purpose
Ct preventing any other person, firm or
corporation from carrying on any lawful
business or interfering with same. To
stop some judge from applying this law
to other than workers, the city council
provides that nothing herein shall pre-
vent any person from soliciting trade
or business for a competitive business"
1t is also unlawful for any one to "en-
tce, decoy or persuade any apprentice or
servant to leave the service or employ
ment of his master"
In their love for peace and harmony,
and to give fair warning to all fomenters
of discomfort, the city fathers provide
that any violator of this peonage de-
fender shall be sentenced to six months
hard labor on the streets of Admission.

The Big Store won first prize from

The Big Store is one firm in Cinci1-
natl that is consistent in employing
nothing but union labor and selling
nothing but unon-made clothing, and is
therefore entitled to the liberal patron

for their Labor Day outfits.
