BARGAINING IN
 THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY

Rochester, N. T.. June 1.-Collective bargaining is the method adopted by the clothing industry in Rochester to solve it's labor priblems. Manufacturers de- clare that it has been so successful here that the National Industrial Federation of Clothing Manufacturers has been form ed to deal with a national organization of the workers. In a time when strikes have been frequent in other industries there has been peace in this industry here, except in one plant which is not party to the agreement between the employers and workers.
 Shoe manufacturers of Rochester have adopted the plan and ended a strike by an agreement similar to that in the clothing trade.
 Under these agreements, the strike and lockout are believed to have been elim- mated and the open shop prevails. The union relinquishes it's claim for a closed shop. One of the labor managers, rep resenting the employers. says that the union suffered no loss by doing so but that on the contrary the number of clothing workers organized has increased from 30 percent of the total employed to 90 or 95 percent.
 As the collective bargain plan oper- ates here, the more general agreements between the workers and employers are made by a Local Joint Board. composed of representatives of the clothing manu. lecturers and the workers Working conditions are formulated by Labor Adjustment Board composed of represen- tatives of both sides. Its decisions be- come the laws of the industry. Appeals can be taken to court presided ovei by an impartial judge whose decisions are accepted by both sides as final. In the shops labor managers represent the employer and shop chairman the un ions The manufacturers have theil price commodities and time-study mer and the unions retain their local bushes: agents.
 The plan had its conception as the re
 suit of a threat of the workers to gC on strike. In it's adoption the manu
 Meyer Jacobstein. of the University O 1 lecturers obtained the advice of Dr Rochester, who has been teaching meth
 ods of service management.

Washington. June 1.-The supreme rourt in an unanimous opinion today held that federal constitutional amend rurnfs cannot be submitted 10 popular vote for ratification by states having referendum provisions in their constitu- tons.
 The method of ratifying amendments, fhe court held. is a national power spe- c,fraI'y granted by the federal consti- tution and fhe states have no authority Co provide otherwise. In so holding, the court declared imperative provisions Of tha Ohio state constitution authorizing submission of federal amendments to referendum for ratification, and over turned state supreme court decrees dis- missing injunction proceedings brought by George <. Hawke. Cincinnati attor- nov in a taxnayers' suit to enjoin sub mission Of the prohibition and woman suffrage amendments to a referendum vote

the pending prohibition eases as none involved that question except indirectly In view of the fact that 45 of the 4S states have already ratified the liquor amendment, attorneys in recently ar guing those cases before the supreme court conceded that even if the court held that the prohibition amendment could be submitted to the voters, enough states without referendum provisions in their constitutions would remain to pro- vide the required three-fourths.
 The courts opinion, however, puts an end to any controversy as to whether Ohio has ratified both amendments and puts Ohio definitely in the list of states approving each Of the amendments.
 Power to ratify federal amendment, according to the courts opinion which was rendered by Associate Justice Day, is derived from the federal constitution and a state has no authority to desig- nate the means of ratification. The Ian guage of the constitution, the opinion said is plain relative to ratification and admits of no doubt in it's interpreta- tion."
 Justice Day said that by requiring ratification to be by the legislatures, " the framers of the constitution meant the recognized legislative body in each state and characterized as "fallaciouS' argu- ments that it was the intent that ratih- cation should be by the Legislative ac- tion fthe states through the medium provided at the time of the proposed approval of an amendment
 Ratification of an amendment, the court held, is not a legislative act and any other construction might result in endless confusion.

HOUSE VOTES TO ADJOURN
 SINE DIE AT r. NJ. SATURDAY

Washington, June 1.--After brief dis cussion the house today adopted a reso- lution providing for adjournment of con- gress sine die, Saturday next at p. m, and sent it to the senate, where simi- lar action is expected by leaders, prob ably tomorrow.
 No record vote was taken and some democrats, opposing the resolution, were unable to force a roll call. Failing in this, they vainly sought reconsidera- tion, but were defeated, 129 to 52.
 Along with the formal action on the adjournment measure both senate and house adopted speed-up programmes to clear away mass of legislation. The senate began it's session two hours ear Her than usual and continued work to- night, as did the house.
 The adjournm kt plan prompted much speculation amoLs republicans and dem ocrats as to the probable attitude of President Wilson with suggestions from some quarters that he would call a spe- cial session. Nobody, however, had au- thentic information.

SHAMROCK " MADE TWENTY
 MILE SPIN IN LONG ISLAND SOUND

City Island, \. Y. June l. Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht, Shamrock ", challenger for the Americas cup. was tried under her own sail today for the first time since being brought to this country in 1914. In a breeze of about ten knots the reconstructed racer was put through her paces on Long Island sound. In the aggregate, she had about twenty mile spin, crossing the sound at Hampstead Harbor and then back to- wards Larchmont
 Captain William Burton. who will sail Shamrock " in the international series that start off Sandy Hook July Is, was at the wheel There also was on board Mrs. Burton, wife of the English skip per; Colonel Duncan Neill, Sir Thomas yachting representative in America, and Charles Nicholson. designer of the craft. At the end of the trip all stated they were pleased with the way the yacht stood up in a breeze that was decidedly stronger than the one that carried away Resolutes mast off New Haven week ago Saturday.
 As it was the first trip. Captain Bur- ton made not attempt to drive the yacht She only carried mainsail. jib and stay sail throughout the afternoon. No top was tried out with wind well aft, no

 craft time to find herself before he crowded on additional canvas

AS is often the custom on Long Island sound. | it backed into the southwest as the aft ernoon advanced and at the finish there ] was enough body to heel the challenger | to her true racing lines.
 Although there was no mishap during | the spin, it is doubtful whether the yacht | will go out again tomorrow. Many httls | things were noted that will have to bs corrected before she again tries her tails This was expected. Captain Bur. | ton said, as the Shamrock that sailed
 today is a much different boat than the
 one that crossed the ocean just prior to
 the beginning of the world war Colonel ! Neill stated the yacht would be kept 1 at City Island until the twenty-three meter Shamrock arrives. She then will
 be taken to Sandy Hook to sail each day
