WORKERS ASK
 INTERVENTION
 OF SECY. LANE
Continued from Page one)

The 100 shirt waist workers at the Bridgeport factory of Bierman x
 Frank, will be called out by the In
 ternationa1 Garment Workers union
 tomorrow to enforce the demand for a
 A hour week and increase of pay.
 This is a branch factory of a New
 York concern.
 Twenty-Five raincoat makers at the Criterion Co. are on strike, having
 been called out by a. committee of
 strikers from New York city, where
 all the raincoat makers are out for
 an increase of pay.
 There will be a mass n neetinR of
 all the corset workers of the city
 Monday night at o'clock to hear the
 report of their committees and to re-
 ceive instructions and suggestions from the national and local officers of the union.
 The employees of the Max Ans fac tory have presented demands to the management, which include a A hour
 week and increase of pay and the company has until Friday to answer these demands.
 Nothing definite was accornplisheG at the meeting of the management of
 the Graphophone company and the strikers committee, which was held
 yesterday afternoon
 The management of the Grapho-
 phone company have agreed to the
 A hour week and the shop committee
 and the only matter in dispute is the
 amount of the increase in wages The company has made an offer of 15 per cent. increase, but this is not satisfac- tory to the workers as the increase of 15 per cent. would only make the pay the same for a A hour week as the workers are now receiving for a
 AS hour week.
 At labor headquarters today 1t was said that the management Of the Bridgeport Brass Co. was too modest in saying that the increase given their employees was only 10 per cent. Up to last week the minimum wage of the women workers in this factory was increased from '32 cents an hour to
 40 cents and on top of this the 10 per cent. announced yesterday would be added, making an increase of from 32 cents to A cents an hour. or a total increase of 37 1-2 per cent. The tool makers say their increase amounts to IT 1-2 per cent instead of 10 per cent as stated in the announcement of the company.

 The garden committee does not pro- pose to let any slackers reap the benefits of the 1abors of the men who have faithfully tended their gardens since early spring, if it can help 1t, and will push to the limit any eases brought to It's attention. Ii is also extremely likely that city court judges will back up it's efforts to se- cure to the men the full harvest of their toll.
 The Locoruo5ile gardens are among tho best In the city. the men have worked steadily to keep them weed less and the vegetables growing. T. is regrettable that there are those so low as to steal and destroy by tramp ling on other growing things. the gar den committee says. but it believes a proper application of the law may have a wholesome effect in preventing future depredations.

formation Of the country-a line
which it has been attempted to draw
with some degree of accuracy on the
attached map.
"Within this line on the Italian side
will lie considerable bodies of non
Italian populations, but their for
tunes are so naturally linked by the
nature of the country itself with the
rest of the Italian people that think
their inclusion is fully justified.
Fiume Is Separate.
"There would be no justification, in
my judgment, in including Fiume or
any part of the coast line to the
south of Fiume within the boundar-
les of the Italian kindom. Fiume is
by situation and by all the circum-
stances of it's development not an
Italian but an international port, ser
wing the countries to the east and
north of the Gulf of Fiume.
"Just because it is an international
port and cannot with justice be sub
ordinated to any one society, it is my
clear judgment that it should enjoy
a very considerable degree of gen.
uine autonomy and while it should be
included no doubt within the customs
systems of the new Jugo-Slavic state

I its own interest and in the interest
of the states lying about it, to de-
vote itself to the service Of the COM

seeks an outlet or inlet at its port.
To Form New State.
"The states which it serves will be
new states. Theq will have complete
confidence in their access to an out
let on the sea. The friendship and
connections of the future will largely

have suggested and friendship, CO.

agreement that the Island of LISA
should be coded to Italy and that she
should retain the port of Volpa. l
believe that it will be generally
agreed that the Notifications which
the Austrian government established
upon the islands near the eastern end
of the Adriatic should be permanent
ly dispensed with under international
guarantee and that the disarmament
which is to be arranged under the
league of nations should limit the
states on the eastern coast Of the
Adriatic to only such minor naval

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARkEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as is does it
SO naturally and evenly. You damp
en- a, sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small stran at time; by MORN
ing the gray hair. disappears, and af-
ter another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young
