EX-UNION MANHEADS
NEEDLE EMPLOYERS
George JablOw Notifies Work
ers Change Is Necessary in
Shop Conditions.
CONTRACT ENDS JUNE I
COnciliatOry Measures Appear
to Be Growing i'm Conduct
of Industry.

George Jablow. who up to five years
ago was garment cutter and member
of trade union. has been elected presi-
dent OF the Cloak, Suit and Skirt Pro-
tective Association. whose membership
represents a capital investment of $780,
100000. HIS election. announced yes
terday at the office of the association,
took place on Monday night.
1t apparently means that the manu-
facturers have adopted toward the gar
ment workers union policy OF con-
ciliatlon and of attempted cooperation
ir the peaceful conduct of the industry.
Last fall the manufacturers were beaten
after a ten weeks strike. The leader
of the strike benjamin Schlesinger, said
on Sunday night that he would quit the
presidency Of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union, which is in
convention at Cleveland.
The present contract between the
manufacturers and the needle trades ex-
pires on June /. BY the strike the
unions won continuance of week work,
rs against piece work, which the manu-
facturers tried 10 put into effect. With
the time for a new agreement drawing
near, the election OF Mr.. Jablow may
mean the elimination of old enmities.
He Is the head of Aaron Goldstein &
CO.
Mr.. Jablow made this statement:
Il believe that | have been elected
for the reason that it is necessary to
have q manufacturer at the head of the
association who has a thorough knowl-
edge Of working conditions in our fac
tories.
Results of the system OF manufac-
turing prevalent since the installation
of the week work system have SHOWN
beyond any question that a chanse Is
absolutely necessary. What | wouio
like to see is that manufacturers be
manufacturers and not become jobbers
which is forced upon them because of
the union and the workers attitude to-
ward the manufacturers.
'There are many conditions in TINS
industry which have brought US into the
present deplorable situation, all o.
which are debatable but all of which
can be eliminated provided We have
the right TO run our business on eco
nonic and scientific lines. ! want peace
end would avert war, and am WILING
to confer with the union at all times
on such questions OF mutual interest," as
may come UP. but there must be
change, and the workers must by TINS
time realize that we cannot exist uh-
der present conditions
Every one knows that orr factories
are becoming smaller daily. that the
industry is being driven into corpora
tion Icooperativel shops over which the
union admits 1t has no control. These
shops are pitted against one another by
unscrupulous manufacturers. thereby
creating enormous quantities of plunder
merchandise. which is not productive OF
any good. either for the worker. retailer.

president of the association. The other

MYSTERY IN HER STORY
Mildred Preston Tells of Visit
ing Mothers Grave and Talk
ing to Strange Man.

A nineteen-year-old girl who said her
name was Mildred Preston was found
unconscious early yesterday in the back
seat or an automobile in the private
garage of James Carey at Broadway and
Whitestone road. Flushing, by carpen-
ters who had gone to repair the building.
The girl told the police she was maid
employed in the home of Harold S. Van
derbilt. at 270 Park avenue, but Mr..
Vanderbilt said last night that to his
knowledge the girl had never worked
for him. His butler said Miss Preston
never had been employed in the Wander
bilt household either in New York or az
the Vanderbilt home in Florida.
In the girls handbag was found a
bottle half filed with a dark fluid. 1t
was thought at first that this was a
drug which she had taken. but 1t was
found later that the bottle contained a
bromide which DR.. y. Lawrence Wash
burn of ISL East Sixty-second street
had given to her in the treatment of
insomnia.
DR.. Washburn said that two weeks
ago the girl called at his office. giving
her name as Mildred Passwicl< of 270
Park avenue. She said she had been
medicine. DIR. Washburn prescribed a
bromide, giving her a prescription on
G. & r. Timmermann's drug store, at
S02 Lexington avenue. The physician
continued:
II heard nc more from her until 10
O'Clock Sunday night. At that time she
called me up and said she was again
suffering. l told her TO take her pre-
scriptlon to the druggist and get II filled
again. She said she did not have the
prescription, but had left it at the drug
gists. But she said that she was within
walking distance of the store. ! told her
then to go to the store, and | would
telephone the druggist to fill the pre-
scription for her. This | did, and did
not hear from her again.
The young woman told Detective kier-
nan she went to St. Michaers Cemetery
in Flushing. Sunday afternoon to visit
the grave Of her mother. and that soon
after she left the cemetery she met q
man and began to talk 20 him. She lid
not recall anything after that. she said.
and did not remember calling the ply
sician on the phone again. Physicians
who examined her in the Flushing Hos
pital said no attempt had been made
to harm her. Her condition last night
was not serious, and she probably will
be able 10 leave the hospital to-day.
Detective Kiernan was unable to learn
why the girl had told him she worked
in the Vandertl home. He said that
she told him she had formerly lived in
Portsmouth. Ohio. but had come to New
York last June after quarreling with her
father Before going West she had lived
in New York, her mother having dice
here eleven years ago. She has brotEer

PHILADELPHIA, May Lady Astor
appeared this afternoon in the Acad-

audience. introduced by Mrs. Ray

the meeting was held, Lady Astor lost

women of Great Britain" adding that
slle would "hate to represent anything
that didn't work"
.-hen, after touching lightly on the
1cy that her Homecoming had brought
70 her, Lady Astor plunged into the
subject of the League of Nations.
II am told she said, that the
League of Nations is not popular in
philadelphia. Well, if it is not, it ought
TO be SO with the men and women who
fought and suffered and with all other
live, living people. 1t perhaps Is not
popular with politicians, but II YOU

"a League of Peace
lets not call it n League of Ma

War doesn't make peace; no war Will
ever end wars. The people OF the world
who love peace and want better world
have got to come together and make
it. Continuous consultation in order to
avert friction is better than trying 10
nut out the fire once it has started to
burn
At that point the speaker turned to
Mrs. Robins. asking her what her topic
was to be for the lecture She explained
smilingly that she had talked so much
in public since her arrival in this
country 1t was hard for her to keep
track OF what she had TO talk about.

They are reactionsries and the re-

UphoIds Trades Unions.

After referring to the organizati ton
under whose auspices she spoke. Lady
Astor sal >: II am strong believer in
trades unions. ] think they pull So
cicty up and not down: they stand for
the betterment OF the home. Their ideal
has been not so much TO attack society
as to fight for all.
The future depends on all classes
working together. IT'S easy enough to
talk about wrongs, but hard to right
them. The Constitution won't make us
great--it's the way we act that will
make us so.
Trade unionism is Just common
sense and common humanity. IT Is the
duty OF women, now that they have the
vote, to see to il that all women work
