The situation this year in the mil
linery trade is not very happy one
for the workers. Firstly, they had a
long drawn out strike, and as is US
ual, much suffering in consequence.
Secondly, the trade season is very
weak. Various explanations are be-
ing made concerning the conditions
Of the trade. Many assert that the
bad weather has caused the bad sea-
son, since on account Of the snow
storms 1t was impossible to send out
the orders in time. In such a trade
as the millinery even a few days
have an effect upon the season.
Again, others contend that the local
manufacturers are Withholding their
orders because millinery exposition
is now being held in Paris, and the
concerns here are awaiting the last
word from these displays.
Naturally, in such a period, the
workman becomes disillusioned about
his organization. He begins to doubt
his own power, and the very doubt
weakens his power in reality. The
union officials realize this and be-
cause Of this are exerting everything
possible to strengthen their organi-
zation. The first step in this direc-
ton is to create a large fund. They
hope to raise $4,000.
Interesting and characteristic are
the methods which the Jewish unions
have adopted to raise this sum, a
work-tax. Taxes are never popular
with any class, be they workers or
capitalists. When you say to a work.
er: Brother. pay a tax Of five dol
lars" the danger Of becoming pop
ular is very small. The unions have
therefore turned to a new tactic: a
days work. The workers are re-
quested to offer a days work for
their organization, and that they
should incur no personal loss a day
is chosen on which ordinarily no work
Is done, as for example, legal holi-
day. On such occasion the union
grants special permission to work,
and the income Of the days work is
donated to the treasury Of the union.
The Hat and Capmakers' organiza-
ton millinery Union) is now act
lively agitating that the workers
should give up a days work for their
organization. This campaign is car
ried on under the sogan: "You work
every day for the masters, work one
day for yourselvesl" By this logan
the union hopes to raise a large fund,
and 90 strengthen its resources
through these hard times.
A strange situation has now arisen
between the Ladies' Waist and Dress
makers Industries and the Waist and
Dress Manufacturers Association.
Between the two organizations a pro-
tocol has existed since 1918. 1t is
known as the Protocol Of Peace, for
according to its terms there should
always be peace in the industry.
Every dispute was to be settled by
arbitration.
Formulae, however beautiful in
theory, are not always workable in
practice, and this formula also has
proved to be not completely practi-
cable. When the protocol was amend
cd 10 exist for a certain period, and
this period expired, a strike imme-
diately ensued.

consent, he must pay the latter
twelve dollars for each performance.
No contract between manager and
actor is valid without the signature
Of the union representatives.

to be dealt with, since it refused to
concur with the decision. As result
the union finds itself in an anamolous
position: on the one hand it must
carry out the decision Of the impair
tial chairman, on the other, the old
association refuses point blank to do
its part. Of course, it ensues that
many workers in the shops Of the old
association refuse to work unless
their wages will be raised to the same
scale as the others in the trade.
This condition caused diplomatic"
relations between the union and the
old association to be severed. The
ambassadors" or as they are more
popularity called, walking delegates,
were recalled. The two organizations
do no business with one another
whatsoever. What this situation may
lead to it is hard to foretell. The
union is not anxious to call strike
and will do its utmost to avoid one.
The association on the contrary would
like to decoy the union into strike,
for there is very little work in the
trade and the time is unfavorable for
a strike.
We shall have to rely upon Father
Time. He will make US wiser.
Our Jewish actors are class-con-
scious. 1t may be doubted whether
they belong to the ranks Of labor or
not, but they have long decided for
themselves that their place is among
the workers and their protection from
the workers. As the other Jewish
workmen unions they belong to the
Jewish labor organizations, are rep
resented by delegates, and established
themselves on a thoroughly trade
union basis. We have, therefore,
worker artists.
But IL you have a union it must
work for the improvement Of condi-
tons, and as class-conscious workers
the actors have placed their demands
with the theater managers. Having
the support Of the Jewish labor or
CARNATIONS and the sympathy Of the
Jewish workers they easily gained
their demands.
We mention a few Of their de-
mands, which are very characteristic
Of the profession. The season must
not be less than thirty-eight weeks
where the actor is to be engaged.
Until full weeks are begun to be
played (about Succoth) every actor
must be paid for seven performances
at least. Rehearsals should not be-
gin more than two weeks before the
theater opens for the new season.
No actor is permitted to take two
parts in the same play unless he Is
paid for an extra performance ac-
cording to his wages. II the man
ager starts on the road in the middle
Of the season he must pay the actors
for an extra performance according
to their wages and not less than
seven dollars a week for expenses.
All the players that take part in q
play must be advertised. The mini
mum wage Is fifty-five dollars q
week.
The following is also characters
tic: II a manager needs an actor
he must apply to the union, and II he
engages anyone without the unions

WINDHAM.
No Doctors or Doctors Bills.

Windham people are saving money on
doctors bills in the prevailing epidemic.
Since Dr. Calvin and DR.. Gilbert moved
away it has been practically impossible
to get doctor to town, however desper-
ate the circumstances. Consequently peo-
pie have thought they must keep well out
of necessity, but many have had to yield
to the prevalent grip, and found they
can be i'll and recover or die without the
aid of doctor. So far, however, every
one has been cautious and considerable
enough not to try the dying alternative.
People are now interpreting the famil-
lar Biblical text as follows: To him that
!, hath shall be given and he shall have SUI
perabundance of snow; but from him that
hath not shall be taken away even that
which he hath, to pay the taxes occasioned
by it.

Due to the ever increasing growth
of the livestock industry in the state
the North Dakota Bankers associa-

tally in furthering the development
Of the industry, according to an, an
nouncement of W. c. Macfadden, sec

Officers of the association have ar
ranged with B H. Critchfeld of Far
go, livestock expert, to act in the ca
pacity of a purchasing or selling
agent for members of the association
for any customers of member banks.
"The member banks are thus
placed in a position to give the very
best of service to their customers
who are engaged, or who contemplate
being engaged, in the livestock bds-
iness," said Mr.. Macfadden.
"Any service that bank desires
for the benefit of customer will be
given prompt attention by Mr..
Critchfield and orders may be sent
