i'll case OF war, declared;
Wayne Wheeler and his Anti-Saloon
League crowd, like all one-sided ia
natics, always can be counted on to be
disloyal in time of serious emergency.
Mr.. Wheeler suggests the United
States emulate Russia
Il hope our country never will i'll
dorsc conIlsCation nor emulate tyrail-
ny, dcspotism and lnefficiency.
"Whecers idea of making a monop-
oily of the retailing of liquor by in
crcasing the United States special tax
permit from S25 to $1,000 is a thor
oughly Russian proposal
Russia has not adopted prohibition.
"Wheeler's proposal is silly. Rich re-
tailers would pay the increase of the
special tax, raise prices, continue bust
ness and grow richer They would have
a practical monopoly--a Russian mo-
nopoly.

Hundreds of Garment Workers Strike

Statements Differ As to Number of Employees
Who Obeyed Unions Call.

Manufacturers say they have been
expecting the strike for some time. but
declare that most OF the employees have
been satisfied with their wages and con-
ditions. Most OF the shops are de
clared to be comfortable, well-lighted
and sanitary. A general good feeling
is said to prevail among the workmen
and employers and it is not anticipated
that the strike will be of long dura-
ton.
This strike has nothing to do with
the question OF hours or wages" said
William Reiser, OF NJ. Reiser & Sons
The real question is the recognition Of
the union. About a month ago we vol
unfairly increased the wages OF every
employe in our shop from to 10 per
cent and our shop has not been operat-
ed on a piece-work basis. The princi-
pie which accompanies the demand for
recognition OF the union is that of the
shop chairman and distribution OF the
work. This will take the affairs of the
factory out OF the hands OF the manu-
facturer. The strike does not repre-
sent all the employees
Police were sent to watch at the
Textile Building, the Butler Building
and the Lion Building to guard against
