Strikers at Winnipeg
Announce Their Terms
Demand Reinstatement of All
Workers and Recognition
of Their Union

WINNIPEG, Man, May 2o.-The CEN
tral strike committee of organized
labor in Winnipeg made public this
forenoon, in a letter to Mayor Charles
F. Gray, the terms upon which it will
consider a settlement of the general
strike.
Recognition of all the unions in
volved and reinstatement of all en-
ployes on strike are asked. The an
nouncement does not specifically refer
to wages and hours
Mayor Gray stated later that the
basic offer of strike settlement re-
ceived from the central strike commit
tee was to be considered this evening
He indicated, however, that recent de-
velopments did not forecast a settle
ment of the dispute between labor and
its employers.
Law and order will be maintained
at all costs,' the Mayor continued. "If
any radical element attempts to inter
fere with enforcement of law and order
we are prepared to smash it imme-
diately."

Women Car Employees
Seek Repeal OF Lao
Ask Governor to Receive Com.
naittee Of Those Discharged
by Neu York. Transit Lines

Three thousand women employees of
the rapid transit lines who are being
discharged because Of the enforcement
of the new Lockwood Caulficld law.
which prohibits their working between
10 o'clock at night and o'clock in the
morning, expect to ask Governor Smith
to have the law repealed.
Amy Wren, attorney for the women,
announced yesterday that she had ad-
dressed a letter to the Governor asking
MN to receive committee Of the dis
charged women employees. She said
she had compiled list of the ~wome I
who have been or are to be discharged.
On the Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines
there are 1,016 ticket sellers, 1876
guards, 90 conductors, SO cleaners and
80 porters, and on the lntcrborough
1000 women employees, she said
We are going to ask Governor
Smith to prevent the discharge Of these
women said Miss Wren "Thc women
who pushed this legislation did not
consult with the employees affected.

and Miss Frances Perkins, that the

can be employed for more than nine
hours consccutively, that she must be

icy NJ. Garrison, receiver of the COM
pany, yesterday conferred with officials
Of the company, relative to the request.
SIR. Harrison refused to say what reply

Tenants Stand By
Leaders; All Euicted
Justice Robitzek Thinks One
Dispute Is Settled, but He
Finds Lille .SOriet WORKING

Soviets are un-American and have
no standing in court of law here,
Justice Harry Robitzek ruled yester-
day in deciding a landlord tenant i'm
broglio in the Second District munich
pal court. An armstice between the
tenants of 622-636 East 136th Street
and their landlord, Mrs. Rose Rudin-
sky, had been signed yesterday long
enough to bring the differences up be-
fore Justice Robitzek.
Justice Robitzek was able to effect
a compromise whereby the evicted ten
ants, whose household effects still
blocked the sidewalk, were to return
to the flats. Yearly leases, cmbody-
ing no increase of rent, were to be
signed and necessary repairs made.
Mrs. Rudinsky stipulated, however
that the five tenants who were evicted
on Saturday were not to return. The
tenants baked. They held an excited
session and declared that unless these
five families were permitted to return
they would reject all compromises.

Soldiers Did Bio
Job Overseas, Can
Do Another Here
Ehis Is Spirit of Letter Sent
to $4,000 Employers by
unemployment Bureau;
Work Problem Still Acute

Letters asking for Jobs for dis
charged soldiers, sailors and marines
were sent out by the Unemployment
Bureau of New York City, sos Pearl
Street, yesterday to $4,000 employers.
The employers were reached through
the Merchants Association and eighty
four ether employers organizations.
The letter reads:
"Mr. Employer-The soldier did a
big job for you overseas. He has now
'hopped' home and wants to do an
other. He wants to help you in your
factory and your shoo, your salesroom
and your office. He wants to build
your new mill and run your automo-
bile. He wants to provide for his wife
and family and better his station in
life. Can you deny him this?
THE returned soldier is ambitious as
he never was before He is proud to
have whipped the Hum but now he
wants to work. He has great desire
to plunge into the business and indus
trial life of the country and work out
worthwhile career. Mr.. Employer,
are YOU going to let him waste this
an'bition in tramping the streets for
job? Or are you going to capitalize
this ambition for the good Ct the man.
yourself and the advancement of So
c;ety?
More than 1000 soidic,s sailors
ard marines have already applied to
the Unemployment Bureau for a chance
to work. The number is increasing
daily. There are men of every class
prlvates, lieutenants, captains and ma
jors-porters, packers, clerks, sales
men, chauffeurs, lawyers, engineers.
More than fifty trained executives
technical and professional mon are
applying to the bureau every day.
MANY of these men are being
placed, but more jobs are needed. And
do you realize, Mr.. Employer, that
now is the time to provide against
the future? All predictions point to
labor shortage before snow flies
Skilled and trained men will be need
ed. Hundreds of the men now apply
ing are anxious to learn and will ac-
cept learners or apprentices jobs
Hundreds of others are already train
ed and are at your service; chauf-
feurs especially need jobs.
"WiA you call the Unemployment
Bureau of New York City for your
help? Telephone Worth $3.50. The
bureau has vocational guidance ex-
perts who help the soldier choose the
right job. 1t has expert placement
officers to help the employer pick the
right man. 1t prides itself on prompt
and careful service. Will you try it 2"
Pointing out that 5000 returned SOL
diers weekly are failing to find jobs,
DR.. George w. Kirchwey, state director
of the United States Employment
Service, 469 Fifth Avenue, declared yes
terday that the problem of getting jobs
for discharged soldiers is no better
now than at the time the armistice
was signed.

Plasterers Called Out
In Twenty-Eight Cities
Strike Ordered on All Work
Being Done for New York
Building Trades EMPLOYERS

Edward j. 'McGivern. international
president Of the plasters' union
yesterday ordered strikes in twenty
eight cities on work of members of
the New York Building Trades En-
ployers' Association. The strike is
ordered in support of the strike Of
New York plasterers for day rate of
$3.50 and recognition of the unions
right to discipline members who NAV
violate it's rules.
The orders to strike were issued
after meeting Of the international
executive board of the union, follow
ing an attempt to secure an agreement
on the questions in issue with a COM
mittce representing the employers as
sociation.
I'VE hope" said Mr.. McGivern, chat
1T will not be necessary to call out
other of the building trades. Auto
matically, however, men in other lines
Will be thrown out of work at once"
The largest job affected by the strike
order in New York is the army base at
Brooklyn. This project was tied up
for several months by strike of car
penters and allied trades, beginning
last fall and ending in the late win
ter. when an agreement was reached
on carpenters wages Other big Jobs
are the new terminal buildings and
warehouses in New Orleans, new mills
OF the American Woolen Company in
Lawrence, Mass, and housing projects
in Watertown, N. Y and Camden, N. J.
Important contracts in Detroit.
Washington. Niagara Falls, Philadel-
Phia, and st. Paul are also affected
The strike in this city began on
April l, and the chief bone of con-
tcntion is the right of the unions to
discipline foremen who may violate
union rules. In the matter OF wages
only 80 cents SEPARATED the union and

100000 Textile Workers
Granted Raise in Wages
Total in Some Instances Repre-
sents Increase of 100 Per
Cent Since 1915

BOSTON, May 2O.-Wage increases
affecting upwards of 100000 textile
operatives in New England and other
northern states were made public to-
day. In most instances the advance
was announced as approximately Is per
cent. Both cotton and woollen mills
are affected
The raise, which will become ef-
fective June 2, will bring mill wages
to the highest level on record, and
in some instances represents total in
crease of over 100 per cent. since 1915.
Many of the mills in New England
have been operating on a 4S-hour a
week schedule since early in the year,
a reduction of six hours q week over
the former schedule. This reduction in
the working week was accompanied by
a corresponding cut in wages.
Several strikes, notably that in
Lawrence, which has been an effect
since Feb. 3, are ordered to end with
the allowance of higher wages, made
possible, according to the mannfac-
turers, by improvement in market con-
ditions.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-21

Mr. Reville said building operations
are increasing slowly, but with en-
couraging steadiness. But it would be
FIVE years, he added, before normal
housing facilities were reached.
Chairman Hirsch testified that con
dltions are worse in The Bronx and
and Washington Heights, are not so
critical in Brooklyn or the East Side,
while the complaints from Queens and
Richmond are comparatively few He
said his Office first handled 400 COM
plants. day, but they have dwindlel
to 100. He estimated that the COM
mlttee had handled about 5000 cases
in all, concerning increases ranging
from 20 to 120 per cent. The frequent
change of ownership of buildings is
largely responsible for increasing
rents, Mr.. Hirch said.
Building is being impeded he added
because it costs from thirty to fifty
per cent more to build through a
building loan association than if the
builder had the ready cash.
Health Standards Lowered
Health Commissioner Copeland de-
clared that the present congested con-
dition of living is lowering health
standards and imbairing morals. He
quoted from statistics gathered by his
department in sanitary survey These
showed an increase of $4,000 families
in the city in 1917, 27,OOO in 1918 and
only $4,000 this year. He filed q report
showing that the density of the popu
lation of the city varies from six to
bb4 persons an acre He said he fa
vored the Dodge law because it would
increase the living accommodations.
Senator Lockwood announced that
Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle, Henry
Morgenthau, jr., Abram Elkus, Robert
E. Bowling, of the Real Estate Board;
Samuel Gompers, and William B. Will
son, Secretary of Labor, will probably
be asked to testify in the course of the
investigation. The third session will be
held to-day.
w. B. Harding, of Cruikshank Co.,
one of the four firms mentioned by
Elias A. Cohen before the committee
on Monday as controlling the real cs-
tate appraisals of the city, last night

are un-American," said the Justice,
permitting the warrants of eviction
for twenty families to stand.
Municipal Court Justice Benjamin
Hoffman, presiding in the Second Dis
trict Court, Manhattan, declared yes
terday that many persons paved way
