Offer Proposal
to Avert Strike
Garment Workers

New York. Nov. IA proposition
to avert the threatened strike of 90
600 garment workers here next Mon
day, was offered by Benjamin
Schlessinger. president of the inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union, in q letter made public to-
night to the IL United States sena-
tors who had made efforts today to
prevent the strike.
After reviewing the past relations
between the employers and the work
ers which led to the creation of BIZ
partisan commission last June which
was to consider means of increasing
production in the trade and report
November /, he wrote:
IF the employers association will
consent before November II to con-
the existing agreement upon the I'M
derstanding thct the joint commits
sion resume it's work and report
definite recommendation by the 18th
day of next January the union will
call off the strike Immediately.
But if the manufacturers will not
recede from their unreasonable and
autocratic position and merely con-
sent to defer action to a date more
convenient for THIN. the workers will
be forced TO take up the fight for
their rights without delay
l.. LANCER, secretary of the joint
commission of the Garment Workers
said that the letter reflected the at
titude of the workers.
A committee representing the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
Protective association left tonight for
Washington where tomorrow they
will confer with Secretary Of Labor

ments previously arrived at in exc
cutive sessions. That decision. if it
was a decision, was almost as de-
plorable as the procedure at Paris.
1t looks now as if the subject were
open again and will be finally decided
ference. Final judgment as to the
reasonableness of the course taken
must await this formal action. Mean
time there can be. no harm, but only
good, in those who believe in the
greatest practicable degree of open
ness continuing to reinforce the
hands of those within the conference
who are on this side of the question.

As the result of lecture delivered
at the First Methodist church on Sun.
day afternoon by Miss Gertrude Pear.
son, of New York, in the interest of
the Near East Relief campaign, it is
expected that Maury county's quota
of $1,000 will be over-subscribed by
the end of the present week. Already
some 500 of the $4,000 has been sub
scribed, through the schools of the
county.
Those who heard Miss Pearson
could not have failed to respond liber.
ally to the plea for the suffering Ar,
menians. Miss Pearson, who spent
two years in Armenia, most graphical,
ly described conditions in the country,
telling of the revolving persecution OF
the natives by the Turks.
Miss Peorson's lecture was one of
the strongest appeals for aid ever
made in this city, and touched and
moved all who heard her.
Although but few heard her, those
present were fully determined that
Maury county should do her part to.
ward the relief of that suffering peo-
pie.
Miss Pearson was introduced by A. b.
SoWell, through whom arrangements
were made for the meeting. Mr.. Sow
ell stated this morning that he was
fully confident that the people of this
county would readily subscribe the
needed money if they could have
but heard Miss Parsons lecture.

FIRE DESTROYS

AT COTTON MILL
LIGHTNING STARTS SPECTACLE.
LAR FIRE WHICH BURNED DUR.
ING VERlTA5LE cLoupBuRsT
HUNDREDS RUSH TO SCENE
Feared That Mill Would Be Destroy
ed Also, but This Building Was
Saved and Was Operating at capac-
ity This Morning.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald.)
A spectacular fire last night almost
completely destroyed the Big ware.
house of the Columbia Cotton Mil
Company after the building had been
struck by lightning shortly before nine
O'Clock when the city was storm
swept, The loss was estimated at
about $51 800, fully covered by In
surance.
Despite the fire in the warehouse
last night the mill was operating at
normally" this morning. The loss
would have been much greater but
for the fact that the wind was favora-
BILE, blowing away from the mill rath-
er than toward it, and at the same
time veritable cloudburst thorough
~ soaked and water cooled all adjoin-
ing buildings.
Shortly before nine o'clock vivid
fash of lightning followed by an ear
splitting clap of thunder startled the
city. Almost Immediately after, the
big whistle at the cotton mill went
into acton sounding the fire alarm.
and despite the downpour scores Of
automobiles laden with the curious
rushed to the scene of the fire.
1t was soon seen that the building
was doomed dense black and sitting
smoke was sing through which could
be seen the angry flames against
background of rain, the water fall
ing in sheets.
Stored in the big warehouse which
was destroyed were some six hundred
bales Of cotton, or about 10000
pounds, and half million yards of
cloth which had been manufactured
at the mill and was awaiting ship.
ment 1t is possible that some of the
material can be salvaged, thereby re-
ducing the loss,
Despite the fact that the mill was
outside the corporate limits, the city
fire department was sent to the scene
10 assist in combating the spread Of
the flames.
1t was feared for time that the
entire mill would be destroyed, and
scores who drove to the scene return.
ed to town fully convinced that the
mill was doomed, and that scores OF
people would be thrown out of EN-.
ployment.
1t is understood that plans are al
ready being made for the rebuilding
Of the warehouse. and that the new
structure will be much more modern
and freproof.

The Maury county federation of
Clubs met Saturday morning in the
parlors of the Bethel House, MIS-.
John T. Wooten, the president, pre-
sided.
The cleanup committee reported
that the town had been organized for
a thorough and systematic cleaning
the year round. A chairman has been
appointed for each block who is to
rally all housekeepers within her di-
vision to a determination to have all
grounds free from tin cans, papers and
weeds; to beautify the lawns with
flower beds and to plant trees along
the side walks. From this organiza-
ton it is hoped that a spirit of rival
ry will develop and that Columbia
will be more healthful and beauti
full town. ...
Discussion was held deploring the
beheading of the trees of the streets
which has robbed the town of much
of its beauty Many of the trees 81
butchered have decayed and died.
Systematic planting of young threes
is urged with the hope that sentiment
will be aroused in time to cause the
removal of all poles and overhead
wires from the streets.
The Federated Clubs endorse the
proposed dental clinic TO be held in
the near future and will support those
holding it in every way possible.
The Cosmopolitan Club, the Kings
Daughters and the Thursday Club,
through their representatives, report
ed hearty endorsement of a commu-
nifty building for Maury county which
will stand as memorial to every sol
der who fought in the world war and
at the same time be center for all
club activities of the county. Other
clubs which had previously pledged
their support to this ideal are the
Students Club, W. C. r. U. and the
Woman's Auxiliary of the American
Legion.
The Federation will celebrate
Shakespeare natal day on next Fri
day evening in the auditorium of the
County High School. Scenes from the
various plays of the great dramatist
will be given by the expression de-
partments of the G.. NJ. A. the lnsti-
tute and the County High School. Tab
leaux from Shakespeare will also be
staged by the individual clubs of the
Federation, The pubic is cordially
invited to attend and there will be no
