LOWER WAGES NEEDED
FIRST, SAYS WRITER
Labor Sfubbornness Causes
Jam, Ingalls, Reports.

Labor leaders are blamed for existing
unemployment and the actual workers
are being victimized, according to a
survey by the recent Economic Confer
ence published under the name of w. r.
Ingalls, in the journal of the American
Institute of Mining and Metallurgical
Engineers. Mr.. Ingalls's views. made
public yesterday through the Federated
American Engineering Societies. is
summed up in the following extract:
THE Economic Conference recently
held in Washington under the auspices
of the Department of Commerce, dis
solved about the middle of October with
out meeting the main issue, viz, defla-
ton in wages among the classes of la
Dor whose stubbornness and stupidity
are producing the jam. The majority
of the conference was we'll aware of
this, but Mr.. Gompers and his colleagues
refused to agree to any definite recon-
mendations. Yet the whole situation
hangs upon this point. Nothing else
matters very much. Mayors committees
cannot put idle wheels in motion merely
by exhortation."

ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union in this city will close $500 shops
and throw between 5000 and 10000
persons out of employment
Each side to the controversy continued
to charge the other with bad faith and
with violating agreements. Mr. Schles-
niger said that In his opinion the delega-
tion of manufacturers went to Washing
ton to "try to convince Secretary Davis
that they did not break their agreement
with the union" But the employers
retorted that anything that Schlesinger
said was unreliable and that he con-
sistently had misrepresented the facts
since the beginning of the trouble.
Ask for Arbitration.
1t was the original plan of the union
not TO strike until the employers act
ually tried to introduce piece work
into the shops. When twelve United
States Senators sent a message to the
employers association urging 1t to wait
two weeks before introducing piece work.
Mr.. Sohlesinger said that the strike
would begin as scheduled unless the
employers gave positive assurance the
piece work system would not be intro
duced.
Mr. Schlesinger made a counter-pro-
posal to the Senators that the present
system be kept in force for two months.
pending arbitration by a joint commits
sion. Neither the Senators nor the en-
ployers replied to this suggestion
All sides admit the possibility of the
strike spreading to other garment manu-
featuring centres, where, 1t is said. the
return to piecework has been under

Joseph Schlossberg, general secretary
Of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Of America. said the cloakmakers would
have the financial support of his union
sin return for past favors."
Henry d. Sayer, Industrial Commits
sioner of the State Department of Labor,
sent letter to Mr.. Lustig asking for
at II o'clock tomorrow
He asked that the return to
piecework be delayed at least until ar
ter that conference. Indications last
night We're that the strike would be in
full swing before such conference
could be arranged.

Trouble May Spread to

Hope of averting the threatened
cloakmakers' strike dwindled last night
when the delegation of five manufac-
turers who went to Washington to
confer with Secretary of Labor Davis.
returned with the announcement that
they had failed to reach an agree
ment and that they intended to carry
out their original intention of restor-
ing the piecework system.
Louis Lustig, president of the Cloak.
Suit and Skirt Manufacturers Pro-
tective Association, who was head of
the delegation, said statement ex-
planning in full the trip to Washington
and the attitude of the employers
would be given out to-day. Unless
there are unexpected developments to-
Cay the strike will start tomorrow
morning.
Leaders OF the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union continued yes
terday to prepare for the strike Several
thousand members met last night in
Horton Hall, 10 Fast 125th street. and
held a demonstration In favor Of strik-
ing. Speeches were made by BENJAMIN

night that the only thing WI ich could

they claim, moreover, that they have a

are willing to expend in combating Ali
