SILK MAKERS BEGIN
"A HOUR SCHEDULE
10000 Workers in Paterson
to Start New Time Week
Tomorrow.
CALL 1T GREAT VICTORY
Dyeing Factory Owners VIII
Fight $500 Strikers,
They Announce.

The entire silk manufacturing indus
try of Paterson, employing $4,000 opera
t'ves, will go on forty-four hour week
schedule tomorrow. Announcement to
this effect was made yesterday by the
employers association. II was declared,
however, that the silk dyeing mill owners
would fight the $500 striking dyers and
dyers' helpers to finish because TINS
branch of workers has become affiliated
with the 1. w. w. and the Amalgamated
Textile Workers OF America.
The decision Of the manufacturers to
grant tho forty-four hour week to the
operatives In the broad silk and ribbon
industries is regarded by the leaders OF
the United Textile Workers Of America,
AFFILIATED with the A. f. L., as the
greatest victory in the history of the
silk workers organization" the straight
eight hour day with half day on
Saturday being the realization OF hopes
Of years OF endeavor.
The further fact that the mill owners
refuse to grant the forty-four hour week
to the dyers and dyers' helpers because
they are connected with the radical or
ganizations is also regarded as VIC
tory for the u T. W.. especially In view
of the fact that an official of the en-
ployers association said to-day:
of the dyers and dyers' helpers to a
finish, chiefly because of the fact that
these workers have allied themselves
with the radical organizations. The dye
ing concerns. as the situation now
stands, will not grant the forty-four
hour week until October 10, In accord
once with the ruling OF the National
War Labor Board"
James Starr, business agent Of the
Horizontal Wrappers local. and Louis
| Magnat of the Broad silk Weavers
local, both Of the U. T. W., said to-day
| that the trend Of events during the last
tweuty-four hours has been a big vic
tory for conservative organized labor.
It was largely due to the efforts OF
these men that over 10000 operatives
remained at their work on a forty-eight
hour basis during the two weeks strike
which was started August I by the radi-
cal labor organizations for immediate
operation of the forty-four hour week
instead Of waiting until, october 10. as
was agreed under the National War
Labor Boards ruling. Workers in a
| number of smaller factories answered
the call OF the /. w. W. and Amalga-
mated Textile Workers altogether about
5000 Of them. including about 1000 o.
| T. W. insurgents. Between 1000 and
| $500 succeeded in winning the forty
four hour week.
| The United Textile Workers. who had
signed the agreement with the manufac-
turers to abide by the War Labor
| Boards ruling. succeeded throughout
however, in keeping 10000 workers
loyal. When a number OF manufac-
turers who had signed were found. how
ever. to have broken the pledge. the U
T. w. made application to the nationa
board for a rehearing.
The outcome was an adjustment made
by the manufacturers and the u. T. w
leaders resulting in to-day's announce
ment that the whole industry would en-
Joy the forty-four hour week beginning
Monday. +rF -7fts r VI

AS a preliminary to the general plan
of the War Department to make army

here is regarded as a convincing Illus

the North Eighth street building will
be turned over to the jobbing business
which is now carried on jointly with
the manufacture of garments. The
second floor Of the present building, a
machine room, 80 by 115 feet, will be

AZ Years in Business.
Bartel started in business in Rich

Sixth and Main street; later he moved
TO the corner of Washington and Ft.
Wayne Avenue, and for 90 years his
company has occupied it's present
location. Now there is an extension to
the Bartel factory in Newcastle, where
the overall output is made.
Mr.. Bartel explained that Trow-
bridge & Alderman, of New York are

and Roland Coate, son of Pohn M.
Coate Of Bartel firm, and special rep
resentative of this firm of architects
has already made several trips to

CENTRAL BASEBALL
PROBABLE FOR 1920

Although no official action has been
on the organization of league base
ball club here in 1920, directors OF the
Richmond Exhibition company are
continuing efforts to interest other
cities in a Central circuit for 1920.
President Elmer Eggemeyer, says
definite plans for the formation OF the
league will be wide as soon as the
major league season closes.
The recent ruling OF the National
Baseball commission suspending the
draft rule for players will probably
have considerable effect on minor
leagues during the coming season.
Richmond fans however, are divided
in opinion as to what benefits will be
derived by the minor leagues. Ac-
cording to several fans, the ruling may
have a more detrimental effect than
Is considered.
MAY Have "Farm."
Major leagues may not wait for
the draft next year to pick up promis.
ing players from the small leagues,
but instead will buy the players at the
start of the season and then farm
them out to the minors" one Rich
mond fan said Wednesday.
IF this is done, it will be hard for a
minor league team to get a strong
lineup without forming and alliance
with some major league team"
That the finances Of the minors
may be improved by the ruling, how
ever, was the chief reason given by
fans for the change. Instead of hav.
ing to sell players for the cash draft
price, the small league owners may be
able to benefit by competition from
the majors to the extent that better
prices will be obtained from the big
circuit for promising recruits
Either way, the fans will probably
be benefited by having an opportunity
to watch better baseball.

Preparatory work Is nearing COM
pletion for the Adam H. Bartel & Co.,
garment factory, to be built soon on
the southwest corner of South Eighth
and B streets, which will be the most
modern and one of the most attrac-

The building, SO by 115 feet, will
stand back IA feet from Eighth
street, feet from B street and 13
feet from the division line on the
south. Surrounding the building will
be grass and shrubbery to assist in
giving it every appearance Of home
rather than a factory.

and will stand three stories high with
vestibule, in front adding to the
general architectural scheme, making
it an attractive addition to the neigh
borhood, rather than an objection,

The heating plant is to be the most
modern and complete in Richmond.
Electric power received from the City
light plant will be used.
Meals Served at Cost.
The first floor will be devoted to
the offices, metal lockers, rest room.
two shower baths, toilets, and mod
ern cafeteria, which will be installed
for the advantage of the employees.
Cost price meals will be served. Be-
tween $50 and 200 people will be en-
ployed. and the cafeteria will accom-
modate all.
The second floor. of the building
will be devoted to sewing machine
and finishing room. Toilets will be
on every floor.
The cutting room, containing new
electric cutting machines, will be To-
Gated on the third floor.
Two stairways and an elevator all
built in a brick, fireproof shaft will
connect the three floors and assure
safe exit in case Of fire. The entire
building is to be built with every effort
made to make it absolutely fireproof,
convenient, and attractive, Bartel
says. The walls will be white and all
partitions white plaster tile.
Children's rompers and play clothes
and mems shirts will be the garments
manufactured in the building, while
