The strike OF $4,000 garment workers
for a minimum weekly wage and better
living conditions which was declared
yesterday was conducted without dis
order. the strikers meeting quietly in
fifteen halls hired by the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union to
protest against conditions which they
say equal the sweat shop" days, when
the crowding OF workers in tenements
was not forbidden by law.
Only half Of the $4,000 called out
were actually at work. as this is the
slack season in the garment trade. They
ask for weekly wage, no more piece
work, and the abolition OF the so-called
sweat shop" The Limiting of work &c
shops where there are fourteen machines
or more, the strikers claim, will put out

months employment. Benjamin Schles

been born in the countries which l rep
resent. I would not call II spiritual
rebirth. but a renewed faith in humanity
and the tangible things in life, These
people have come at last to see that
there Is a nation with a heart and which
can put actions behind its words. Your
nation by it's generosity and self-sacrifice
has fed the bodies OF these starving peo-
pies, and their souls. and that Is a great
achievement"
Abram /. Elkus asked the committee
to record a protest against the massacre
of Jewish relief workers in Poland. He

ternal guardianship the management of

to insist that when temporarily absent
from her apartments she place her val
uables in tho Office safe. She also
charges the management with being
negligent In the selection OF employees
and asserts that proper precautions were
not taken TO keep out OF the hotel
strangers who might rob its guests.

Ian states were heirlooms and wedding
presents from her husband and members
OF her family. A large number OF rings

HER MFATUATION
TOLD IN LANE TRIAL
Daughter-in-LaD of Mrs. Nc
kenzie on Stand.

Evidence that tended to corroborate
the testimony given Tuesday by Mrs.
Ann Lane at the trial in the criminal
branch OF the Supreme Court of the
!atters husband. Richard H. Lane, who
y charged with having defrauded Mrs
Victoria Mckenzie OF $500 in connec-
ron with the sale of patent rights to
car brake. was introduced YESTERDAY
by Samuel Ecker. attorney for the de-
renee. when he called to the stand Mrs
violet Conklin. daughter-in-law of Mrs.
Mckenzie.
Mrs. Conklin widow of Mrs McKen-
zie's son. Clarence. who was killed in an
automobile accident, testified regarding
conversations she alleges she had in 1917
with her mother-in-law. In these talks
mrs. Mckenzie Is said TO have made ad-
missions concerning her infatuation for
Lane. Mrs. Lanes testimony two days
ago brought this phase OF the relations
between the young defendant and the
elderly complaining witness to the atten-
tion OF tn jury.
Mrs Mckenzie, according to the story
told on the stand by Mrs Conklin, al
ways seemed to exhibit demonstratIve
afrection toward Lane. whose manner to-
ward her she described as a sort of boy
ssh affection. Mrs. Conklin averred that
her mother-in-law had asserted on one
occasion that Lane had brought her the
greatest happiness she ever had. Later
she is alleged by Mrs. Conklin to have
said that the reason she brought action
against Lane was because She found he
had been deceiving her by spending
money on his wife which she had given
him for business purposes. Mrs. Nc
Kenzie at this time insisted to her, said
Mrs. Conklln, she would move heaven
and earth to have Lane put in prison for
the rest of his life. She also was said
to have expressed fear that Mrs. Lane
might sue her for having alienated his
affections.
At another time. the witness said. she
found Mrs. Mckenzie very bitter
against her attorney, who. she said
was bleeding her TO death" and
''hounding her for money all the time g
This lawyer was engaged to get evil
dence that would enable Lane TO secure
q divorce, Mrs. Conkln said she was
told by Mrs. Mckenzie. The case for
the defence closed with Mrs. Conklin's
testimony.
