PICKETING OF 5000
GARMENT FACTORIES
BEGUN BY STRIKERS
CBv Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Picketing of
5000 garment shops by striking work
ers began today. Every picket was
provided with a card of instructions
from the union warning against en-
gaging in arguments or making a dis
turbance
The manufacturers claim that
more than 40 per cent of their work
ers, the most efficient operatives, had
remained at work, but the union lead
ers asserted that the strike had start
ed a 100 per cent suspension.
Some of the smaller manufacturers,
the union men said, had already en-
tered into negotiations with the work
ers, and work would be resumed in
those shops as soon as agreements
were signed.
Representatives of the Cloak. Suit
and Skirt Manufacturers Protective
association asserted that their forces
would be working at so per cent OF
normal within a few days. They de-
Tended the change to piece work and
the 40 hour week as essential to the
reduction of prices on women's cloth

u. s. STAND ON ARMS
QUESTION PLEASES
TIMOTHY NICHOLSON

'If you prepare for war, you will
have it." said Timothy Nicholson, a
leading Friend of Richmond, former
member of the state board of charities,
and active in numerous reform move
ments. He was discussing the Wash
ington conference for limitation of ar
maments.
Just as surely as a nation is armed,
some one will start war" he said.
"One thing which shows the gross in
consistency of our people is the fact
that in almost every state there are
laws forbidding the carrying of fire
arms, yet the nation will draft men
for war, and force them in whether or
not they wish to go.
The practice of drafting men ought
to be abolished. Germany and Eng
land have already abolished it. 1t is
a practice that does not belong to any
republican government | hope Mr.
Hughes will not retreat or give way
from the stand he has taken.
This is a time for great rejoicing
The remark of our President, I'VE
want less of armament and no more
war; was great comfort to me"

BRITISH PRESS STILL
EXPRESSES PLEASURE
over HUGHES OFFER
CBy Associated Press)


LONDON, Nov. 15-General satisfac-
ton is expressed in the newspapers
this morning at reports from Wash
ingtOn that the British and Japanese
delegates to the armament conference
are prepared to accept in principle the
American proposals for ten year
naval holiday and the scrapping Of
all but limited number of warships.
In its second thoughts on the pro-
posals set forth by Secretary of State
Hughes, the nress shows no lessening
of the appreciation expressed yester-
day but deyotes more attention TO the
probable effect of the plan on Great
Britains naval position.
It is freely recognized that the
United States offers to make sacrifices
both in money and aspirations which
are greater than she asks of the other
nations.
British Position
At the same time it is remarked
that Great Britain as far scattered
empire, is in quite different position
from the self-cOntained United States
and that circumstances are conceivable
in which Great Britain might be called
upon to defend the British Isles and
at the same time protest the outlying
parts of the empire, as well as guard
trade and foot routes. This it is urged
must be considered when the details
of the plan come up for discussion in
the conference.
There are also some indications Of
&c
to agree to the proposal that Great
Britain scrap the four postwar battle
ships of the Hood type, contracts for
which were recently placed.
Ships in Good Glass
These warships, it is contended. are
superior to any so far projected by
the United States and cancellation of
the contracts would implace Great
Britain in an inferior position to the
United States as regards battleship
strength, as the American ships
would be newer and more powerful.
The point is also made that any
arrangement made in Washington
should permit the dominions to build
cruisers in addition to those Great
