surrounding the industry and producing
this situation.
Il am informed that the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America are organ
ized to such an extent and are enabled
to exercise such power over the industry
that production except as they dictate is
impossible. If it should prove that this
is the case it cannot be that the in
formed public opinion which would re-
suit from a fair investigation would fall
to compel reform. with its consequent
benefits to every one who wears civilized
clothing.
Among the collateral lines of infor-
nation which developed in the Martens
investigation (Senator Moses was chair
man of that investigation) were clear
indications that the most pronounced
centres OF radicalism lay in the branches
of the Amalgan,ated. Their declaration
of principles provides. in 50 many words.

This not only accentuates the known
differences between the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers and the American

EARLY VOTE SOUGHT
ON TAX AND TARIFF
Republicans in Both Houses
Will Strive to Clean Up
Minor Measures.

WASHINGTON. May ga clean up Of
important measures the next two weeks
is the aim OF Republican leaders in
Congress to pave the way for consid-
Grafton of the permanent tariff and tax
revision. two of the major subjects for
which the present extraordinary session
was called. The permanent tariff bill is
expected to be reported by the House
Ways and Means Committee early next
month.
Prominent among measures scheduled
for completion in the next fortnight are
the Knox peace resolution. the emer-
gency tariff. the army and navy appro-
priation bills, the Good Mccormick bill
for a Federal budget system and the
deficiency appropriation measure.
The peace resolution is to be taken up
by the House Foreign Affairs Committee
early this week. but Chairman Porter
does not expect House vote before
next week. House leaders are leaning
toward amendment of the Senate meas
ure by declaring merel, a state OF peace
instead of repeating the German ana
Austrian war declarations.
The conference report on the tenn
porary tariff bill is to be taken up by
the House tomorrow, with It's adoption
a foregone conclusion.
Disposal OF the three remaining ap-
preparation bills largely rests with the
Senate. rhe House is expected to pass
the 500 100000 deficiency bill tomorrow
or Tuesday and the Senate will resume
consideration tomorrow OF the Nso.VU,-
600 naval budget. with the principal
controversies remaining over the pro-
posed naval base at Alameda, CALI ana
committee proposals to increase the
navy personnel by 10000 over the l"'V"
men authorized by the House.
Economy advocates will continue their
attacks on the naval bill tomorrow.
The Senate also has to act formally
on the Borah amendment FOR dls-
armament conference. but It's adoption
was virtually assured last week.
The army supply bill, with commit
tee provisions increasing the reg uiar

Congress has determined the funda-

Harding, since 1t follows out his idea

1t was suggested to-day that sub
committee might be named TO go to
Europe to study the workings there
or the emergency law which goes into
effect June 3 so information may be
obtained for use in framing the new
law.
The actual writing OF the permanent
law probably will not be undertaken
for several months. one reason is that
the results of the emergency measure
cannot be demonstrated fairly before
that time. Another reason is that con-
ditions. both in this country and abroad,
are go unsettled politically and economi-
cally that the problem of handling for

entirely uncertain.

little likelihood OF having an immigra-

HISTORY OF TROUBLE
LEADING TO BIG STRIKE
Rules of Union Make Firms
PolDerless in OUn Shops.

In August, 1919, after several
months of negotiations following the
settlement of long winter strike,
the Clothing Manufacturers Associa-
tion of New York, Inc. entered into
n written agreement concerning wages
and working conditions with the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America.
That agreement was to run for one
year. 1t contained no provision for
renewal. BY its terms the piece work
system was abandoned and the weekly
wage system for all workers took its
place. The forty -four hour week,
fivo days of eight and Saturday Of
four, was accepted by the manufactr-
ers, with no work on holidays or
Sundays was agreed upon. Overtime
allowances, when permitted by the
union. were fixed and various other
stringent regulations were enacted.
In the shop itself the manufac-
turer was made practically powerless
by these rules. He was allowed n
'labor manager" who supervised the
shop and with whom the "shop chair
man" took up any complaint on the
part Of the workers. The business
agent or walking delegate of the
union also acted as an Intermediary
between the shop and th@ manufac-
turer or labor manager. Only Anal
gamated workers could be employed
and then only those sent to the shop
by the union. :
All differences in the shop with re-
gard to any item of the trade, whether
over wages, hours, the personal unac-
ceptability of worker or his incom-
potency, IL not settled by the shop
chairman and business agent with the
labor manager, were referred, under
the agreement, to an impartial chair
man." whose jurisdiction extended
over the entire metropolitan district.
He was selected by the Amalgamated,
accepted by the manufacturers and
paid half of his $500 salary by each
OF them.
Impartial Chairman Has Last Say.
His word on any controversy was

ployer. As he was of the college

York, though he has seemed TO sue

Chywide strike IL Called.

Equally prompt. the Amalgamateds .
general executive board called a strike
on all city manufacturers, whether
members OF the association or not. The
union officials declared that the manu-
facturers had established a lockout"
and to that statement they have clung
ever since. Substantially. so far as tho
association manufacturers are concerned,
II was both a lockout and n strike,
since the manufacturers would not
employ any one who did not sign an
agreement not 10 join any union while
in their employment. and at the sane
time the Analgamated would not permit
any worker 10 desert their ranks and
work az his trnde as non-union en-
ployee.
This condition has existed since De-
cember g. 1920. and except for tn,
smaller manufacturers who have
settled" with the union outside Of the
association. the clothing industry in this
city has been at virtual standstill. Pre-
