MANY HEARINGS GO OVER
Lee Avenue Court in Brooklyn
Sees 5000 Persons
Awaiting Cases.
MANY HEARINGS GO OVER

Three OF the municipal courts in
Brooklyn were jammed to the doors
yesterday by litigants in landlord and
tenant actions and In order to preserve
order among them it was necessary to
send for the police reserves in one in
the others. At the Lee avenue court the
attendants were compelled to use back
fences to reach upper floor windows and
then squeeze themselves between iron
bars to get inside. A janitor had opened
the building before their arrival, and
the place was packed to the foot of the
stairs in less than five minutes. Most
of the crowding, il was said, was the
result of the postponement Of jury cases
until yesterday.
There were 5000 persons In the street
in front of the Lee avenue court building
when the doors were opened. Two JUS
tices happened to be at the doors when
they were thrown open. They were pro-
jected inside and pushed into the court
room by the mob. The crowding rem
dered it impossible to accomplish the
work that had been mapped out, and as
a result most of the hearings were put
over to a later date.
The same condition in milder form
existed at the Howard avenue court
Two hundred Of the 331 cases on the
calendar were adjourned until Decem-
ber by Justice Esterbrook.
At the Gates avenue court $50 land
lords and tenants awaited the reading
of the calendar. Justice Glove found
that every case scheduled was a jury
case. and he Immediately adjourned 400
Of them until the early part of next
month and had attendants send for the
reserves to keep order among those re-
naming for trials.

Employers Say Old System
Is Only Way to Cut
Clothing Cost.
ALLIED UNIONS INVOLVED
Suit and Cloak Makers
Threaten Walkout if the
Issue Is Forced.

More than $4,000 members of the New
York locals of the International Ladies
Carmen. Workers Union began casting
their ballots yeeterday on the question
of accepting demand of the manu-
facturers that piece work be reestab-
lished in the New York plants begin
ming November IA. The result OF the
balloting will be announced Thursday
afternoon, but Benjamin Schlesinger.
president, and other officials of the
union. said they thought the vote would
be practically unanimous for rejec-
tion of the piece work system. Rejec-
ton, il generally is conceded in the
trade, means O strike.
In this event it is almost certain the
suit and cloak makers will go on strike
in an effort to prevent the reestabiish-
ment of the piece work system. The
Amalgamated Clothing Workers has an
nounced it would support the Interna-
tional in any step the latter undertook.
and it is not unlikely that this organi-
ization may eventually declare SYM
pathetic strike. The manufacturers are
not expected to yield, in view of their
repeated assertions that If the strike
is called by Schlesinger's organization
they will declare an open shop and carry
on the fight against the union to the
limit.
A. r.. Lefcourt one OF the officials Of
the Cloak, Skirt and Suit Manufactur-
ers' Protective Association, said yester-
day that Schlesinger. unless he called a
halt on his strike plans. would block all
efforts to lower the price Of womens
clothing and would bring disastrous
war upon the cloak and suit industry.
On the other hand, Schlesinger issued
a statement declaring the manufacture
ers were trying to put into effect again
the old sweat shop system ana were
trying to reduce wages and make in
toierable the working conditions of the
industry. The statement Of Mr.. Lef-
court challenges Schlesinger and the
other union leaders to "go through with
their mapped out programme of tying
up the industry in this city.
IF Mr. Schlesinger persists in going
through with his strike call" said Mr..
Lefcourt, "he will have no one but HIM
self to blame for the conditions which
are certain to follow. The ,Yiddish news
papers, acting as the mouthpiece for tbs
union leaders. are melting the workers
to strike by distortins the issues

have rebelled too long for US to sit back
and permit a continuation of policy
that has been so disastrous and ruinous.
