Friction has recently arisen between
the Waist Makers Union in Boston
and the Manufacturer Association.

oiu Iic cIllCodt OulOH are DTdnCltS
Of the international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union. Most Of their men,
bers are women, as is true Of most
Of the locals Of the international.
A short time ago the Wrapper Max
ers' Union made demands Of the en-
ployers, chief among which were
five dollar week increase for the
week workers, 25 per cent increase
for the piece workers, two legal holt
days for which the week workers were
to be paid, and, lastly, the recognition
Of working-card issued by the Union.
This last demand aimed at strength
ening the Union by making It nueces-
sary for every worker in the shop to
be member in good standing Of the
Union. Otherwise, he would not be
able TO obtain a working-card.
As matter Of fact, the employers
ignored these demands. A conference
was held, but 1t brought no results.
Consequently, the workers went out
on strike January 2Sth.
Apparently the strike has been a
success. A number Of non-union shops
Joined in the strike, and naturally this
encouraged the workers already out.
Many employers have already made
applications for settlement, but as
the strike committee announces, no
settlements will be made until the
progress Of the strike becomes clear
Probably the employers will now
change their attitude toward the
Union, and we believe that a settle
ment will be arranged for the entire
trade.
The Petticoat Makers also placed
demands before the employers. Re-
Gently this Union has twice attempted
to organize the workers in the trade.
Strikes were called, but neither Of the
attempts were successful Both strikes
were virtually lost. Now the Union
is renewing its attempt to bring about
an organization Of the trade.
The demand Of the workers are: A
44-hour working week, a 80 per cent
increase in wages and recognition Of
the Union. Also, the Union demands
the establishment Of a single system
either week work or piece work
and the abolition Of the mixed system
in vogue in the trade at present.
Demands to this effect were sent to
the employers short time ago, and
when the latter did not reply to the
demands, strike was called for jan
uary 9TH. Such a strike was to be ex-
pected. The employers, judging from
past events, expected to be successful
against the Union. They were conf
dent that the workers would not obey
q strike order, fearing failure. The
Union, on its side, was bent upon or
ganizing the trade. Under the cir
cumstances 1t was foregone conclu-
sion that both sides would measure
their forces against each other.
Now, however that the workers
over two thousand in number-have
gone out on strike, 1t is to be hoped
that the struggle will not be lengthy
one. Neither side should display un-
due stubbornness in coming to an
agreement.

lendly, both sides concurred that in the
coming September, minimum scales
should be inaugurated in the entire
industry, and that the scales should

Now peace prevails in the trade.

Judaism. They are divided &C
cording to Minhags, sometimes
of different cities, and they need
a unifying force. The Union can
bring this unifying force. 1t may
not appeal to the elders but it
will appeal to their children and
through them we can establish
the future of Judaism in Ameri-
ca.
Orthodox Jewry has its own
national organizations and if we
undertake work they may be
aroused to redouble their efforts
among these people without
religion" and if they redouble
their efforts and the Union car
ries on its work we will still be
able to reach only a small num-
Der. It is therefore the duty of
all those interested in American
Judaism to come to the help of
the Union with ample means so
that it can carry on its work.
When we make the European i'm.
migrant an American and a Jew
we will safeguard the future of
Judaism and of America.

Annual Meeting Hebrew Institute
Auxiliary.
The annual meeting Of the Ladies'
auxiliary to the Hebrew Institute
was held at the Institute Tuesday af-
ternoon at $3.50 with the president,
Mrs. Sam Rosen, presiding.
The election Of officers took place
and the society should be congratulate
ed upon obtaining the noble and untir-
ing efforts Of the same officers. The
following ladies' being reelected by
reclamation:
Mrs. Sam Rosen, President.
Mrs. r. Goldstein, Vice President.
Mrs. Max Gilbert, Secretary.
Mrs. M. Zeff, Recording Secretary.
Mrs. A. Simon, Treasurer.
Mrs. B. M. Levy, Press Reporter.
Mrs. Israel Mehl was elected chair
man for the New Years Ball and with
the assistance Of the good workers Of
this great society, we hope to make
this ball the biggest success Of the
season. The organization is forever
pushing its way forward to do all the
good possible there Is to be done and
we have hopes for brighter and high
err activities as we grow older.
The auxiliary has in connection with
its regular work a Bible class which
meets every Thursday afternoon at
$3.50 with Rabbi Abramawoitz as our
leader.
In behalf Of the members who did
not attend the meeting, our president
Mrs. Rosen, requested that the report
Of our secretary, Mrs. Max Gilbert,

undertake. The very fact that it
has interested laymen in the
work for Judaism to such an ex-
tent that they are giving of
their time and visiting both
large and small congregation is
a tremendous advance step in
the development of American
Judaism. And the Union stands
for American Judaism. | believe
the time is at hand when this or
ganization should come out bold
ly and stand for this conception
of Judaism. We must adopt a
banner and stand by it. The var
ious Christian churches have
their organizations and each Or
ganization prides itself upon its
efforts for one particular de-
nomination. They are not en-
Unused by labors in behalf of
Christianity but they find that
the people respond much more
freely and enthusiastically for
definite causes undertaken by
their own division of Christiani-
ty. The Union will probably find
that American Jews will be much
more ready to help an organ
ization which stands for Ameri-
can Judaism than to help an Or
ganization which stands for one
form of Judaism in one branch
of its work or in one part of the
United States and another form
of Judaism in another part of
the United States. We have
many tasks before US and the
Union is the logical organization
to undertake some of these tasks
but it can accomplish the great
est good only when it is definite
ly aligned with a certain inter-
probation of our heritage.
Probably no greater problem
confronts US than meeting the
religious needs of the mass of
immigrants on the East side of
New York. A Christian weekly
recently said, there are now L.
100000 Jews in New York,
which is nearly twice as many
as ever lived in Palestine, and
Of course many times the num-
Der that ever inhabited Jerusa-
lem. These Jews are nine-tenths
of them out of touch with the
synagogue and are therefore a
people without religion. Many
Christian organizations are now
engaged in studying this chal-
longing Home Mission problem"
If nine-tenths of them are out
Of touch with the synagogue
and they are a challenge to the
Home Mission problem of the
Christian churches how much

ment. The more uncomplainingly
we submit to the abuse of the
world, the more liable is the
world to continue to impose upon
us. At every turn our Christian
friends have sought to keep us
down. We have been made to
fight for every inch of ground.
Their wrongs they charge to us.
History seems to repeat itself.
Today again we are witnessing
a rehearsal Of the acts and
scenes of the Middle Ages.
Whatever is awry in the world is
charged up to the account of the
Jew. Then they were held res
ponsible for the black death, the
poisoning of wells and a thous-
and and one misdemeanors with
which they had nothing to do.
And today we are made respon-
sible for the social, the economi-
cal, the industrial conditions and
what not that obtain in the busy
marts of the world. AS though
these things were in the power
of the Jews shaping!
Talk about a suffering Mes
siah, this title does not belong to
one man-it belongs to an entire
people. 1t is Israel who has been
and is today the suffering Mes
siah of mankind. He is made the
scapegoat to bear the sins of the
nations. We are not so blind to
the reality of things as to fail to
see that we are far from perfect.
We know that we have our faults
and foibles. But those who
charge these faults to us had
better look to see whether their
own characters are flawless.
Statistics will prove that when it
comes to a question of right liv-
ing the Jew stands head and
shoulders above his Christian
neighbor. The Jew need not
therefore submit to insults and
rebuffs. We may never get JUS
tice from the world, but it would
be the greatest injustice on our
part were we not to do all in our
power to make the world see the
error of its ways and at least
fight for a redress at its hands.
It is the inhumanity of man that
has during all these years put
the Jew on the defensive. It
would be rank cowardice if in
the face of the worlds opposition
the Jew would not assert his
rights and boldly and aggres,
sively demand, if nothing more,
at least simple justice.

The greater part of all the accre-
tons to private wealth are in the form
of equipment for increasing the pro-
duction of things of which the rich
already have an abundance. and OF
which, few in number as they are,
they can consume comparatively little.
The benefits accrue inevitably to the
masses of the people. How much
more has Henry Ford withdrawn from
the common food supply since his in
come was a million year than while
he was working for wages. and how
much more has he contributed to the
food supply by developing the farm
tractor than he has ever withdrawn
from it?
