Question to Workers


Question to Workers
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Steuer's "plan to end the
cloakmakers' STRIKE" as outlined in
yesterdays papers, does not seem to me
to offer a practical solution of the
pending dispute between the employers
and the workers in the industry. At
least on one important point it strikes
me as tending to widen rather than to
heal the breach.
In his previous statements Mr.. Steuer
has asserted that his clients do not de-
mand a reduction in wages, and that
they would be fully satisfied to con-
tinue or even increase the present
scale of wages, provided that the work
ers would give their employers an ade-
quate labor return. In his last state
ment he clearly recedes from that posi-
ton. While he still repeats the
formula of "a dollars work for a dol
lars pay" he advances the demand of
the decrease in wages apparently as an
independent condition and regardless
of the productivity of the workers.
The statement does not touch upon
the vital point of the controversy Mr..
Steuer does not even inform us whether
his clients arc ready to abandon their
demand for piece work and increased
hours Of labor or to reinstate the sub
sisting agreement between the parties.
Mr.. Steuer is quoted as saying that he
is not interested in the terms piece
work" or week work" This may be
entirely true so far as he is concerned,
but the workers are vitally interested
in that subject, and can hardly be ex-
pected to give serious consideration to
any proposition which does not include
q definite statement of the attitude of
the manufacturers on that point and on
other points of similar Importance.
However, / know of Mr.. Steuer's
plan" only from newspaper reports.
1t does not seem to be more than a
personal and informal interview. Ac-
cordlng to the papers which carried the
interview, the leading members of the
Protective Association seemed to be as
ignorant of the plan as is the union.
which has received no official COM
munieation on the subject, either from
Mr.. Steuer or from the association.
Under the circumstances we do not
feel called upon to take any action
whatsoever on Mr.. Steuer's so-called
plan. BENJAMIN SCHLEsINGER,
PRESIDENT international Ladies,
Garment Workers Union.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
Little Hopeful

Little ilOpeiui
Ny appetite began to flag,
Ny thoughts were steeped il
gloom;
] found it difficult to drag
Myself from room to room.
"You are not sick" the doctor
said;
"You don't know what to cat;
II | were you I'd eat more bread
And cut out meat"
cut out meat, as he advised,
But still I weaker grew,
And presently | realized
That this would never do.
Again the doctor | besought
To come. He came, and said,
"You are not sick, you merely
ought
To cut out bread"
l cut out bread, but that did not
Relieve me very much,
Although l daily ate a lot
Of apples, pears and such.
Inc doctor whom / called OBJ
served,
"Your case is not acute,
You merely are a bit unnerved,
Just cut out fruit"
I've cut out fruit, and now / feed
On nothing much at all,
But | reluctant am indeed,
To have the doctor call.
Meat, bread and fruit I've put
away,
And salad I've eschewed,
And / am fearful that he'll say
To cut out food.

Worry Over Young America
e Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On the front page Of to-day
Tribune | read that the Berlin boys
have thrown 10000 volumes Of de-
tective "Wild West" and Indian stories
into a fire under the supervision OF
the Association fer the Protection Of
German Youths-and that the associa-
tion has given the youths in exchange
for the destroyed books classical
works and other good reading matter
When is America going to wake up
and realize that it's future lies in the
character development Of its boys and
girls?
It was only a few days ago thsF
President Harding in a speech said;
More even than money and endow-
ments, our educational establishment
needs the devout, unsslfsh, sustain
ing support of people moved by IA
stincts of patriotism and servis'-
am not sure that our
young people are living up to ths'
full estimate of an education's WORTH
I doubt if there is as mucn
plain living and high thinking N
academic shades as there was once OF
might we'll be now"
He might as well have spoken tns
words to the Atlantic Ocean SO far as
Americans are concerned, for NOBODY
took the slightest notice, or il be did
he kept his thoughts TO himself.

Casting Gloom Over Matritnors,

If the lovers we read of in the
novels OF our youth had lived happily
ever after we should be lan1entably
short of fiction to-day. The modern
novel takes up life where the old
time novel left it off. 1t follows the
married pair out of the primrose
path into ways that are strait and
narrow and set with thorns. II
Carries them through tiffs and quar-
rels in every other chapter either to
estrangment or the divorce court OF
both.
Meanwhile, if the newspapers
correctly mirror married life, the
woman has no alternative but to
suffer in silence. She has no re-
course, particularly if he happens
to reside in the State Of New York.
The very courts Of justice are closed
to her, till, maddened by the demon
of incompatibility, she applies for q
legal separation.
Recently a wife who was thrown
from an automobile because of the
clumsy driving Of her husband
sought to sue him for the damages
she sustained. The court informed
her that it could not be done.
Clumsy or not, the court held, the
husband was we'll within his rights
in upsetting the car that contained
her. A suit against him would
not lie.
Here is truly deplorable state of
affairs. The fictionists insist that
the wife is doomed to unhappiness.
Yet to her distress Justice is deaf
as well as blind. Either she must
resolve to endure it all or quit. Only
one remedy suggests itself, and that
is picking the sort Of husband with
whom she can really live happily
ever after. But that, alas! would
throw all our modern novelists out
of employment.

Park Avenue Iron Fence.
To the Editor OF The Tribune

e''e 1-uttUr OF ne Trlbune.
Sir: ] would like to suggest the re-
moyal of the unsightly iron fences
that disfigure the center of Park Ave

street. These relics of some pre-
historic architectural era have no Mac
IN the center of modern thoroughfare.
They restrict the view of one crossing

one must venture in crossing well into
the path OF passing traffic in order to
peer up or down the street for an
preaching automobiles. The daneer. is
