PROFIT BY LOW WAGE


A large part of the profits CLEANED
from the overwOrk of the tired fin
gers of 10000 half-starved ladies'
garment workers Of the city goes to
two Of cur so-caIled respectable bust
ness institutions, Marshall Field &
Co. and Sears, ROebuck & Co.
This was the claim made by Ben
SchlessingeT, president of the ladies'
garment workers union, today, on
the eve Of the expected breaking of
a bitter struggle between the labor
ers who produce and the owners who
profit in the making Of ladies' waists,
skirts, COrsets, coats and underwear.
Most Of the big manufacturers
whose places will be picketed by
striking union workers dissatisfied
with pay and conditions are under
contract, written or verbal, to sell the
greater part of their output to these
two mUIti-milliOn dollar firms.
So, through the low prices at
which they buy from the manufac-
tUTers, these two stores are grab
bling part of the benefit which comes
to business from the starving of
workers in which is called the worst
paid industry in the world.
SChlessinger named a number of
firms among those that supply the
two big houses with their ladies' ap-
parel, sold at fancy prices. In his
list are: Arthur Weiss, 228 S. Mar
ket; Herman Spifak, 225 w. Adams;
Applebaum & Stern, 228 S. Market;
Flanders Dress Co.; Nathan Ribbak
& Co., where the workers are already
out; o. Posner & Co. and Mitchell
Bros, both at 325 W. Adams; SobaI

tho neople was made in Parliament to-
night by Alphonse Verville, who repre-
sents the district Of Maisonneuve, part
Of the city Of Montreal. He is Ne only
Labor member of the Canadian House
and for many years was president OF
the Canadian Trades and Labor Con-
gress. ,-.
Mr.. Verville declared that in striking
Canadian labor would have the support
of organized labor in the United States,
although there would be no strike there.
The announcement was made IN a
speech on the government compulsory
service bill.
al want this Parliament TO under
stand" said Mr.. Nerville, that passage
and application of this measure mean
general strike and mean national
calamity. Even If there is exemption
there will be no change in labor's de-
termination. II is a matter of princi-
ME. IL is not too late yet to avoid this
calamity. II the people of Canada by
direct verdict support conscriptiOn then
organized labor will submit Loyalty to
the decision: but organized labor, which
must bear the brunt of CONSUMPTION,
has been ignored and never consulted
by the Canadian government"
Organized labor in the United States
would be loyal TO President Wilson, but
would cooperate, Mr.. Nerville said. in
the protest of labor in Canada against
the decision of the Canadian govern
ment, which had been made without
consulting labor.
Mr.. Verville said that last February
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-29

he visited Detroit. Chicago, Indianap-
oils, Cleveland and Buffalo and con-
ferred with labor men relative to the
prospective participation Of the United
States in the war. Ten days before
President Wilson made his historic war
communication to Congress asking the
enactment of measure of selectlve
cOnscription. he declared. the heads OF
American organized labor had been
summoned TO the White House for a
conference with the President as asked
squarely what he could expect from
labor. and American labor had an
swered that it would cooperate Loyalty
with the President.
In Canada. Mr.. Nerville said. Premier
Borden had followed different course.
Canada Labor Ignored"
"Organized labor has been ignored
since the war began" he asserted.
despite the fact that Canadian labor
is expected to furnish its generous
share of soldiers. there was no calling
of the members together for consulta-
ton If it was good for the United
States government, before presenting
its conscriptiOn bill to Congress, to get
the good will and power Of organized
labor. why was il that the Canadian
government decided not 10 do so, but
TO ignore labor?
"Remember, would not be guilty Of
indorsing a general strike. Perhaps
