to cut wages 90 per cent.
A break in relations between the
clothing manufacturers and the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers Of
America. which came during a slack
spell in January. has resulted in a
condition that contains elements of
both strike and lockout. Some $1,000
workers were employed in the
industry originally, but many of those
laid off before Christmas have never
returned to the machines. shops
having closed and moved elsewhere
and members Of the union have
refused to work under the reduced

decreasing numbers of workless ones,
who are fast moving elsewhere or
seeking other occupations.
Decided changes in rates of wages
and conditions of employment are
being considered in several industries.

employees. most of them to take effect
upon the expiration of the existing
agreements, according to Il recent
report by the state department Of
labor and industries. The records
indicated, it was said, that there were
existing in Massachusetts on April |
twenty-six labor disputes, strikes or
lockouts, the largest of which was
that involving the building tradesmen
Of Boston. The majority of disputes
recorded are directly traceable to
attempts to reduce wages. to establish

NEW YORk.-In New York there is
one exceptionally large strike. that in
the clothing workers industry. where
$1,000 members are striking. Fifteen
thousand painters have just returned
to work. however, having signed new
agreements.
The marine workers are also on
strike, at. least in part protesting a
reduction of wages amounting to S35
and $50 a month. One hundred and
twenty thousand members of the In
ternational Seamen's Union are TAX

the subject of reinstatements. This
provides that il an empioye resigned
on account of illness he is to be
reinstated at his old grade of salary.
and if he resigned for any other
reason he is to be reinstated one

when he left the service. The sec

below and the third reinstatement
three grades below.
Admitted that that was victory
for the organized employes-but it
was a much bigger victory for Uncle
Sam, because, instead of having these
postal employees all fighting the de-
partment. as they have been Of re-
cent years. they are now all fighting
for and with the department.
+ r
In the closing days Of the sixth
Congress the members Of the.
House and Senate were up in arms
because they charged. under the
leadership OF Chairman LehIbach of
the committee on reform in the civil
service. who fathered the civil serv-
ice retirement bill. that the specific
provisions and well established in
tent and spirit of the retirement
law had been set aside by the Post
master General
Postmaster General Hays has let
it be known. and Congress has ap-
plauded the decision, that the Post
Office Department, on the matter of
retirement. Is going to apply the law
in its real intent and spirit. This
means that men who reach the re-
tIrement age and are still capable of
performing satisfactory service are
to be recommended for retention. The
blanket ruling Of the previous Post
master General was that all must go
on reaching tho age OF retirement.
OF course. under the Hays regime
there must be careful safeguards to
maintain the efficiency of the serv-
ice as we'll as to avoid placing the
burden of continued work upon those
in whom tho spirit - willing. but the
flesh weak. To be retained they must
provide a physician's certificate as
to their physical fitness and must sup
ply a statement from patrons Of tho
service as to the character of work
they perform.
+ \
Still further evidence OF how tho
new order Is working to effect agree
ments by friendly conference Is found
in tn. fact that tomorrow represent
atives of the railway postal clerks
are to have a conference with f. II.
Shaughnessy. the second assistant
postmaster general. at which an eff
cheney rating system. hours of service.
! seniority and other questions will be
discussed. Tho representatives Of the
employees do not expect any difficulty
whatever in reaching an agreement
with tho department on these sub
jccts.
All through the federal service the
army OF employees Is responsive to the
new spirit of service and good feeling.
They arc expectant as ever before iT
at least a quarter Of a century that
they will have a chance to win ad-
! vancement by proven merit, and that
means moro to them than small quar-
relinE over q few minutes more or

Names of Penrose and Fordnev
Soon to Be on Lips of the World

Cnderwood-Simmons act-now on the
statute books, has been in effect for
eight years. The republicans claim
that this tariff law for revenue only
would have brought about the defeat
OF the democrats ultimately-thatt the
counry's business was already on the
toboggan, with production falling of
and imports increasing. But the war
in Europe, embroiling all the great
nations. bobbed up and so changed the
entire business situation that the tar
iff became a matter of more or less
minor Importance.
An unusual situation exists in the
Senate today regarding the tariff.
Senator Oscar Underwood of Ala bama
and Senator Furnifold NJ. Simmons OF
North Carolina, whose names are at
tached to the present tariff law, are
both serving in that body. Senator
Underwood is democratic leader and
Senator Simmons is ranking demo-
cratic member of the finance commit
tee. which is handling the tariff legis-
lation. Although Senator Underwood
is recognized as one of the most emil
nent experts on the tariff in the coun-
try, he has made no effort whatever
since coming to the Senate to be ap
pointed a member of the finance COM
mittee. The consequence is that there
is no prospect of split in the demo-
cratic ranks because of rival leaders
on the subject Of the tariff
To Senator Simmons will be ac-
corded the task Of leading the demo-
Gratis in the tariff fight now coming
in the Senate, while Senator Under
wood will be the democratic field
marshal on the floor. directing the
general attack upon the republicans
and their administration.

Chairman Penrose Of the finance
committee has been a member of that
committee for many years. almost
a score of years. He served on the
committee under Senator Aldrich. He

situation Is viewed as especially IA
vorable. During the past week confer

Although the journeymen tailors'

representative to the Central Labor

neously with reduction in rates. The
printers and allied workers have gone
out on strike as a protest, and the
street railway workers threaten to
strike If the cut is enforced on May

the unions is said to be based on the
contention that cost Of materials in
