Denson, who died at his home here at the age of S1 years, is believed to have been the last of a band of scouts that engaged hostile Indians at Humboldt Sinks in the present state of Nevada in the early fifties.

WOMEN GARMENT
WORKERS To
CONVENE
Chicago Chosen as the City
Where Meeting Will Be
Held Beginning EARLY in
May.
lBY the Federated Press. J

Chicago, Feb. 27.--Chicago has
been chosen as the convention city
this year for the International
Ladies' Garment Workers. The con-
vention is scheduled to begin the
first Monday in May and last for two
weeks. Garments hall is expected to
be the meeting place.
Three important events make this
convention of particular significance
this year. First, it is the goth ami
versary of formation of the union;
second, the members will celebrate
the victory throughout the trade of
the installation Of the system Of pay
ments by the week instead of the
piece work system; third, it is 25
years since the president, Benjamin
Schlesinger, has been identified with
the labor movement. Mr.. Schles-
niger is a Chicago man.
During the last few weeks in the
cloak and suit industry in New York,
Chicago and Boston, a remarkable
gain has been made in the opening
of agreements scheduled to run till
June 80, 1921. Only last July con-
tract had been signed to run for two
years, giving the operators S44 q
week, pressers and cutters $40, fin
ishers s32 and button sewers SIS.
However, the rise in the cost OF liv-
ing having continued without abate-
ment, the agreements were reopened
resulting in increases of from $3.50
to Sc a week. The increases date

Arbitrator Riiey's award in the print
ing trade controversy, it would ap-
pear that the printers We're granted
an increase OF rs cents day for the

matter are that the printers actually

Under the old scale, which ended

Department of Justice Discovers Plenty of It, How
 ever.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The depart ment of justice has discovered more prOhteering, and it has discovered all the details, and knows the plans to boots prices. But no one will be ar rested until personal responsibility" is fixed.
 Howard E. Figg, special assistant to the attorney general in charge of the enforcement of the Lever act against prohteering, has exposed the profteer- ing plot. He says manufacturers and jobbers of wearing apparel are attempt ing through carefully planned propa- ganda, ito stampede retailers and the public into renewed fictitious demand for clothing and thereby force prices higher. The federal official says the de- partment of justice has all the evidence and is fully acquainted with the meth ods of these profteers "and 1t only re- mains to fix personal responsibility be- fore applying the criminal provisions of the law"
 Manufacturers and jobbers are even going to the length of guaranteeing the retail trade against a declining mar ket," he said. These guarantees are being given very generally and seem ingly in furtherance of a concerted plan, despite the wording of the Lever law fixing severe penalties for conspiracy to exact excessive prices for any neces- saries
 "The closing of the mills is being used i'll the price propaganda" said Mir. Figg. The retailer Is then being threatened with further curtailment and higher prices if he does not accept goods and order on the present mar ket"
