trade about year ago; the agree
ment was to remain in force for a
period Of three years. About six
months ago, however, the agreement
was broken and the Union carried on
negotiations with the individual en-
ployers. Instead of working through
the association, the Union would take
up the grievances of the workers d.
rectly with the employers. Any firm
which had a well-organized shop was
compelled either to negotiate with the
Union or else it found strike on its
hands.
Much damage resulted to the pres
tige of the Association. Its influence
among the employers diminished to a
considerable extent, and there was
doubt as to whether it would be able
to continue its existence for any
length Of time.
When the Union placed new de-
mands, leaders of the Association,
charging that the Union had broken
its agreement, brought complaint in
Court and applied for an injunction
to forbid the Union to call strike.
Meyer London, former Socialist
Congressman argued the case for the
Union and succeeded in convincing the
Court that the Association was not
entitled to an injunction, since the
agreement had only fixed the MINI
MUM SCALE for the workers. By
the agreement, the workers were not
forbidden to demand more than the
minimum. So long as the agreement
did not preclude this measure, the
door was open to the workers to make
such demands.
After this decision, the Association
became more compliant, and finally
yielded to the modified demand Of the
Union for a general increase Of $500
a week, instead Of the five dollars
first asked for.
Moreover, both sides agreed to the
provision that, first, every manufac-

good in the case Of Jewish working
women. In the sphere Of economic

Gently been the order Of the day in

put forward their demands for in

silent. They allowed the men, so to
speak, to 60 first Now, however, they
are following along with the exacti-

from the following instance:

The Story Of a Jewish Ex-Soldier's
Triumph-Elias Lieberman in
"The American Hebrew"


Fate works curious tricks upon
mortals. When Henry Drummond
tossed three letters of application to
his private secretary with the curt
comment, "Have them come to see
me Saturday at ten," it was the
whimsical goddess who included the
epistle of Moses Shapinsky.
Drummond had been musing at the
name. 1t had suggested to him all
sorts of things uncouth and foreign.
To Drummond the adjectives were
synonymous.
"Shapinsky," he had laughed soft
ly to himself, sounds like cork
popping out of a champagne bottle"
As he laughed, however, he failed to
throw the letters among the dis
cards. It remained segregated, there
fore, among the small pile Of letters
from those who were to be favored
with an interview.
Norris, the secretary, had looked at
the name in surprise. He had been
five years in the employ of Henry
Drummond and knew his boss's habits
Of thought. But he dared not ques-
ton. Drummond believed in obedi-
ence. The secretary's response to the
wishes Of his employer was automat-
ic.

looked up brusquely.

BUT SIX BANKS IN COLORADO
DECREASE IN LATE REPORT

Reports from all banks in the state,
compiled by the state immigration de-
partment, show that but six of the 81
counties in the state having banks
within their borders showed decreases
in their bank deposits during 1919. In
the remaining counties increases
were shown ranging from to 1876 per
cent. The largest percentages of in
crease were shown by the following
counties: Cheyenne 1S5 per cent; Kit
Carson county rs per cent; Baca
county 10 per cent; Archuleta county
SIS per cent; Logan county "a per cent;
Yuma county SO per cent. The increase
in bank deposits for the state as a
whole was in excess of 25 per cent for
the year, and about 40 per cent since
the beginning of 1917. Increases were
shown in all the agricultural counties,
while some of the mining counties
showed decreases, the largest being
for Teller county. Most of the large
inceases were shown by farming coua-
ties in eastern Colorado, though some
of the Western Slope counties showed
increases greater than the average in
crease for the state as a whole.
