ploy only from 20 to 75 each, although the shops do three times the former 1 business. The answer is that the
 workers have been turned out of the factories where the conditions must
 be fairly good, and the work has been sent out to "contractors'' and sub contractors'' to drive the workers in a real slavery
 The inside shops with a few work CTS will be show p1aces'' along Fifth 1 avenue. They are kept up at consid- erable expense as a sham to make the | public and their customers believe that everything is lovely now in the garment trades, but the vast bulk of 1 the work is done for the same manu- 1 lecturers who own the "show places'' in the sweat shops hidden away in back-street lofts and tenements. \ The skirt and cloak manufacturers Tor New York city also threatened to send their work to the shops of other cities, especially to those of C1eve- land, and there the workers will be made to work in cut-throat competi- ton with their fellow workers in New ork- By the same process, workers in New York are uncopsciously, or through necessity, made to cut the wages and degrade the livelihood of the workers in the other cities.
 That is one national feature of the struggle.
 But it is a truly national question, involving all workers, in all trades, and industries, and involving also the American public, whether one of the largest organizations of workers in the nation shall be beaten down into a state of abject industrial serfdom by the arrogance of employers who thrive on the sweatshop.
 This present great strike began as a lockout by the employers, who re- fused to abide by the decision of the council of coneiliation appointed by John Purroy Mitchell, mayor of New York city. They faked the excuse that the unions were going to strike. Public opinion stood by the workers who proved that that assertion was false. Finally the Manufacturers as- sociation boldly announced that it was going to crush out all organization among the workers.
 The workers in the garment trades are standing now together in a mag nihcent spirit of seIf-sacrifce and of inspiration for the common good. They are making in their big field the com mon fight Of all America for a fair standard Of pay and work and life. They are demanding the eight-ho day and fair play for their labor They are demanding the protection of the approved, protocol arrangement by which they can have some voice for

(F'rom Committee on Industrial Rela

(Fvronn Committee on Industrial Rela- | tions, by Dante Barton.) Washington, D. C., May 19.-Sp<ty
 thousand union workers in the gar
 ment trades of New York city are ! making one of the gamest fights to protect and raise the standard of hv- l ing among American wage earners, that has ever taken place in this coun- ttry. Perhaps before this is read that
 struggle for the decent rights of wage ies, notably to Cleveland, Chicago. Philadelphia and Boston, and will have involved near to one-half mil lion workers and their families
 The manufacturers in the cloak and skirt division of New York city's gar meth trades have declared a relent- less war against all the workers whose | united action has sought to lift the garment making industries out of the degradation and misery of sweat shop conditions.
 Three seasons of abnormally large turers' association in the skirt and cloak trades to strike at the heart of the unions of their workers. They are doing openly what they have done un- der cover, but with growing purpose, ever since the peace protocol was es- tablished in 1910.
 The workers in the garment trades have made every sacrifice to do away with the sweat shop abornination. Af- ter long and bitter struggle and pri- vation they forced the acceptance of Sthe Peace Protoco1-'tan experiment in Industrial self control'' as it has been Icalled.
 But that Peace Protocol provided for decent working hours, sanitary and safe shops, and preferential reel ognftfon of the unions. So the Man ufacturers association started in to knock it out Here is the way the en- ployers worked it:
 They cut down the force of workers in their regular or inside shops which were under the control of the agreement-and set up a lot of so- called Independent shops which were in reality sweat shops. Some of the independent shops are really ttin- dependent and s.on the 1evel,'' and that makes the imposture all the more shameful.
 When the protocol was adopted there were between HOO and 200 shops in the cloak and skirt division or the la dies garment workers trade. But now there are 2,300 of these shops, the great increase being of shops where the workers have been exploited under the most terrible competitive condi- tions- Also. shops that used to em- ploy 800 to 500 workers. each now em-

 GREET WOMEN
 IN CONVENTION
Many NotabIeS to Participate In Meet of National
 Federation.

New York, May 19.-The program for the opening night of the Biennial Convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, next Wednesday evening at the Seventh Regiment Arr mory, which has been under the direc- ton of Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, is completed. This is the only session programme which is in the hands of a New York woman, the rest being ta,- ken charge of by Mrs. Francis D. Ev- erett, of Chicago. Mrs. Carrie Chap man Catt, president of the National Woman Suffrage Association, will be the principal speaker at this opening session, after the delegates have been welcomed by Gov. Whitman and May or Mitchell. Miss Katharine Bement Davis will speak, and tInA four off, cia1 hostesses of the convention, Mrs. William Grant Brown, chairman of the local Biennial Board; Mrs. Flu gene J. Grant, president of the New York City Federation; Mrs. Albert H. Hi1dreth, president of the State Fede- ration, and Mrs. Benjamin Prince, president of Sorosis, will make vel coming addresses
 It is believed by cIubwomen here that the subject of greatest impor- tance at the convention will be Amer icanization," since Mrs. Pennypacker's address president will be largely concerned with that, and since it is
 
 which the retiring president has been most interested in the four years of her administration. Just now, in the 1ul1 of immigration, it is believed the problems of how the increased num- bers of immigrants are to be handled after the war should be discussed.
 The hundred and fifty clubwomen from Texas who will come with Mrs. Pennybacker will be among the first to arrive. as they are expected on Sat urday morning. They have reserved rooms at the Hotel Astor. The other two States which, are expected to send the largest delegations are California and Ohio, since the two presidential candidates come from those States, Mrs. Josiah E. Cowles from Los Angeles and Mrs. Samuel B. Sheath from Tiff fin. Both of these delegations will be at the Bi1tmore Hotel. At the Hotel Aster will also be the delegations from Illinois, Kentucky. Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, as we'll as all, the members of the official board, the official guests and speakers.
 Among the speakers throughout the convention will be Thomas Mott Os- borne, speaking on Prison Reform ;'' Frank P. Walsh, John ID. Larsen, and pr. Henry Moskowitz, industrial and social questions. Each day will be given up primarily to some one sub@ Ject in which the Federation has a de-

BOYS BRIGADE READY
 FOR MEMORIAL DAY

Various companies of the Boys Brigade in this city are preparing to take part in the Memorial Day parade according to their usual custom. The boys are drilling every week and ex- pete to make a finer showing than usual this year. Speaking of the brig ade Major J. T. V. Bradshaw said re- gently:
 ''The United Boys Brigade of Amer ica is the oldest boy organization in the world and has stood the test for: 25 years. It is a self-supporting tnstt- tuition and even it's major general does not receive 9 salary but all it's officers work simply for the interest of the boy and his welfare. The foundation is obedience. It teaches reverence. discipline, obedience. patriotism and self-respect and gives unto boy an erect carriage. It also teaches that Christ came as messenger of peace. It teaches the boys the latest U. s. military drills and Butts manual with guns, to give the boys exercise and get them interested. It has amongst it's members and officers some of the best religious men of the country. It has no press agent and seldom any thing is seen in the newspapers about them.
 '"The organization in this state has but two regiments, while New York has Hand Maryland 13. In summer the boys can go to camp one or two weeks at simply the cost price of the food they eat. The camp is under strict military discipline and compe- tent religious teachers.
 At it's yearly conventions held in 10000 boys attend, including infantry, artillery. signal corps. hospital corps, cavalry, etc. There are only about 125 members in Bridgeport

 They are demanding real suppress sion of the awful sweat shop condi- t1ons by the only agency which can suppress them or which can lessen their evi1s-the organization of the workers into recognized trade unions.
 If these workers lose in their sp1en- did struggle they will lose only be- cause they have tried to realize the American rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Their fam lilies vii be cast into vuretchedness be- cause they have tried manfulIy to lift themselves, and their families, out of wretch edness.
