Amalgamated Clothing Men
Will Make Drive to Get
All Workers on Seaboard
Organized.
(By the Federated Press.)

New York, July 16.-Sweeping or
Pacific coasts, and a special cam
paign to unioniZe small towns in the
east will be conducted by the ANAL
gamated Clothing Workers of Ameri
ca, following the decision made by
the general executive board which
has just adjourned here. Stirred
into action by the increasing number
of manufacturers who have moved
their business out Of cities controlled
by the Amalgamated, the union will
now attempt to complete it's organi-
zation.
Six or eight states in the east arc
dotted with towns in which chaotic
conditions obtain in the clothing in
dustry In some cases the wages
paid are one-fourth those prevailing
in union shops.
Extension of cooperative banking
through credit unions in all states
where such banking institutions are
authorized by law was recommend
ed. The first of these unions was
established few weeks ago by the
New York Clothing Cutters union.
It is planned to start additional ones
for every branch of tn clothing in
dustry in the city.
In discussing the cooperative
banking plan, Joseph Schlossberg,
secretary-treasurcr, developed the
idea of cooperative building that
might be made possible through such
a system.
Groups of workers who are in
need of homes can be financed by
larger groups of workers who put
their savings in the cooperative
banks" he said.
'CO-Operative apartments can ba
constructed with great saving to
those participating in the venture.
The cooperative banks can also as
sist in the construction of headquar-
ters for the different branches Of the
industry. These cooperative build
ings will be free from the money
trust"
The Amalgamated will share in the
October conference called by the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Work
ers' union to form an alliance of all
the needle trades 1t will also send
d uclcSdte " Inc "oliu CoulGleHCe
of the International Clothing Work
ers' Federation to be held in Copen-
hagen.
A vote to support the fur workers
in their strike for the 40-hour week,
which has tied up the industry since
May 27, followed the appearance of
Morris Kaufman, manager of the
iioint board of the Fur Workers I'M
ion, before the meeting. He de-
scribed the victories being won by
the union in the signing of agree
ments with more than so manufac-
turers, and asked that the board vote
direct the union membership to re-
fuse to work on garments trimmed
with fur prepared by strike-breakers.
The request was granted.

Sandy Hook, July 16.-With vic
tory in the first of the series of races
with Shamrock w apparently we'll
in hand yesterday afternoon, the
Resolute, cup defender, was forced
to withdraw from the race when the
throat halyards parted. Captain
Adams, skipper Of the American
yacht, made a game effort to keep in
the race after the accident, but was
unable to make repairs at sea.
The jaws of the Resolute's gaff
came down without warning when
she was half-mile in the lead of
liptons boat when nearing the Is
mile mark. The Resolute kept on
with two men aloft trying to repair
the broken halyards and rounded the
halfway mark four minutes in the
lead, but was soon forced to quit.
The Shamrock crossed the finish
line and was awarded the victory.

VICTORY EARNED ONE.

[ Il \

tBy United Press.
New York, July 16.-The victory
of the Shamrock ". over the Reso-
lutte in the first race for Americas
cup is generally regarded as fluke
victory, but should not be by araly-
Sis.
1t would seem it was a victory of
a sloop of superior construction over
too finely rugged yacht. This much
is strikingly evident. 1t bears out
the opinion formed during the trial
races when the Resolute had three
serious mishaps, that she is only a
light-weather boat and lacked
strength.
Beyond proving that she is "bet-
ter put up" the Upton challenger
had little opportunity of showing her
other virtues. Had not Captain Bur-
ton momentarily lost his bearings in
the fog just as the boat crossed her
stern to the defender from the start
ing line to the turn. On the home
ward reach the Shamrock showed
her mettle. On the lightest of
breezes, without breaking out her
spinnaker or balloon iibs, she COW
cred the 5 miles in less than a half
hour.
