Omaha, Feb. Ito the Editor Of
The Bee: Woman suffrage, by action

four years., 1t has been rejected in

two states Of small population, namely
Nevada and Montana. The control Of
its own suffrage is perhaps the most
important right still left to the state.

by a majority of over 10000, and yet

seeking to set aside the verdict of the
state electorate and pass a suffrage
bill through the legislature. Unfor-

GARMENT WORKERS GIVE TEN
DAYS FOR EMPLOYERS TO
MEET TERMS


MEET TERMS
Manufacturers of waists, dresses,
skirts, kimOnas, cOrsets and similar
articles of wOmen's wear have until
Feb. Is to decide whether they want
peace and a season of prosperity or
a strike war with some 10000 work
eTS.
Letters received by the manufac-
turers today told them they would
be expected to sign the new union
agreement by Feb. Is.
The new agreement asks for As
hour week lat present the shops are
working 40 and so hours a week., a
noon closing hour on Saturdays, sew
en- holidays a year and double time
for overtime. Overtime shall be lin
tied to five hours a week and no en-
ploye shall be asked to work over
time if there are accommodations in
the shop for additional workers and
additional workers can be secured.
Employment may be by the week
or by the piece, but both systems
may not be operated in the same
shop. In the dull season available
work is to be distributed as equally
as possible among all the workers.
In the waist, dress and skirt indus
try the new scale calls for wages
ranging from So to $275O a week. |
In the kimono and white goods in
dusry the scale is to range from SIS
to S22 a week. Top wages are for |
those who are fully competent to |
lay, mark and cut and have worked |
over four years. In main the in
crease asked is about 20 per cent.

Employers shall maintain prefer
entail union shops, that is, a shop in
which preference of employment
shall be given to union workers.
There shall be a shop chairman to
act as a representative Of the work
ers in each shop. If the shop chair
man and employer cannot settle a
complaint it shall be submitted to an
adjustment committee of one repre-
sentative of the union and one of the
employer and an umpire. Decision Of
this committee shall be final.
The agreement shall run two years,
during which time no strike or lock-
out may take place.
Cloak makers and workers on la
dies suits are not affected by the
present strike movement, for.
though they are members of the
same International Ladies' Garment
Makers union, they have a separate
agreement which does not expire I'M
til July 1.
