necessity for human welfare.

The active cooperation of American
Catholics with the country during the
war is briefly related. and the letter
explains the organization effected by
the hierarchy of all Catholic agencies

Council and shows how the organiza-
ton is to be perpetuated in the
National Catholic Welfare Council.

OTHER SERVICES.

Christ Jesus. In taking his stand FOR
that democratic principle Peter has
given to the modern world guide
that will solve the worlds unrest,
which is due to the spirit of class and
not of Christ. Whether it comes from
the sinister bolshevik. who openly
denies human brotherhood and makes
a mockery of equality" or the grasp
ing selfshness of any other class,
capitalistic or labor, the battle OF the
hour calls for men to save the worlds
civilization by realizing and practic-
ing the Masters teachings of brother
hood. When all recognize that the
same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich
unto all that call upon Him" they will
turn unto the Christ, whose gospel
proclaims the equality of all. destroys
prejudice. racial. religious and COM
mercial, and offers to all the oppor-
tunity of self-development and spirit
ual growth through sacrificial service
for the welfare of his brother man and
the glory Of God.

The Cloak, Suit and Skirt Mfrs.
Entered
This agreement provided a minimum
scale of wages to be paid to the slowest
workers which is the highest minimum
scale paid in any industry in this State.
1t was fixed at standard to enable the
slowest worker to maintain his family
at the prevailing high cost of living.
Wages of more efficient workers were
fixed at rates, in proportion, by COM
parison Of their productivity with that
of the slowest workers.
Thus, the average wage was estab-
lshed at figures more than fifty per
cent (50%) above the minimum scale.
The agreement also provides:-
'There shall be no lockout or strike IN the
shops of the members OF the Association duu'-
ing the period of this agreement nor shall
there be aa1y iodiUidaal shop lockout, stop
page or shop strike pending the detern1afo0-
tiop of any complaint or grievance. Should
there be q stoppdge OF work or shop st1aEe IN
any factory, immediate notice thereof shall
be givem By the Association to the Union. The
Union agrees to return the striking aUorkers
to their aUork avithin taOenty- four hours after
the receipt by the Union of such notice, and
ataatI the expiration Of such time 1t shall not
be deemed that the striking aO0rkers haze
abandoned their employment The considera-
tion Of stoppdge cases shall haze precedence
OUer all other complaints and grievances dr7s-
M1g11ereuoder."
Immediately after the contract was signed
the workers, by means of threats and
systematized method of coercion upon in
dividual manufacturers in the, Industry,
forced additional advances of from l0%% to
80 to the already high wages that had
been established in each shop.
Though the contract is but six months DID,
the Union disregarding the agreement fix
ing wages and the subsequent advances
obtained from employers, made demands
upon the Association for further increase
of 3O% on the ground of higher cost of living,
and threatened, if the demand was not con-
ceded, it would obtain it through the un-
lawful method of Shop Strikes, forbidden
by the contract.
The Association declined to accede to the
Unions d m d upon the following
grounds
BECAUSE:-Wages have been advar

during that time.

The New York herald., 1920-01-02

THAT under the Agreement made
June 1St, 1919, weekly working
hours were reduced from forty
nine to forty -four, the working
system was changed from piece
work to week-work, causing a
greatly decreased production,
and the repeated increases OF
wages obtained since that time
more than doubled the labor
cost in the production Of gar
mentS.
THAT Cloaks and Suits had reached
prices to the consumer that
were almost prohibitive.
THAT the prevailing high prices had
already seriouslyjeopardized the
Industry.
THAT the earnings Of the workers are
fully ADEQUATE to meet the pres
ent standards of living
THAT to advance the prices OF gar
ments under these circum-
stances would be an imposition
on the Public.
THEREFORE,
The Association takes the position that in
the present state of the Public mind and
in conformity with the avowed purpose of
the Government to lower the cost of living,
it is moral obligation of the association
to cooperate to this end and in the Public
Interest to prevent. as far as possible, un-
justified increases in prices, especially as
labor in this Industry is already among the
highest paid in this country. "e
Notwithstanding our repeated assertions
clearly justifying the position taken by us
in series of communications sent to. the
Union and of the obligations of the Union
under the contract,
THE UNION HAS FULFILLED ITS
THREAT
