GRAFTON Of Labor Votes Unanimous
Endorsement of Strike Now On.

Invoking of the legal principle es-
tablished in the Danbury hatters' case,
to press civil claims for millions of
dollars in behalf of striking garment
workers is a big development in the
struggle between the Cloak, Suit and
Skirt Manufacturers Protective asso-
citation and the 10000 members of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' union in New York.
1t was, however, only slightly more
important in the view of many OBJ
servers of the conflict that an an
nOuncement from Washington, issued
through the union officers, that the ex-
ecutive council of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor had voted unani-
nous Endorsement of the strike and
directed Samuel Gompers, president of
the federation, to pledge all support
within the power Of the organization
to the strikers.
Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
union, laid the ground for damage
claims against the employing manu-
facturers in letter to his associate.
Morris Hillquit, in which he declared
his opinion that the strikers, by estab-
fishing breach of contract on the part
Of the manufacturers by instituting
the piecework system and increasing
the work week from A to 48 hours,
might obtain an introductory judg-
ment in form enabling every en-
ployee of a member of the manufac-
turers' association to get judgment
against his employer for loss OF wages
until the date Of the expiration of the
contract.
"The total damages" wrote Mr.
Untermeyer, will, of course, depend
upon the duration of the strike, but
will, in any event, amount to several
million dollars"
Mr.. Untermeyer's letter was in the
form of a suggestion that the injunc-
ton proceedings against the manufac-
turers now pending before Supreme
Court Justice Guy be enlarged in
scope and that all members of the
association, instead of a few repre-
sentatives Of each particular class Of
manufacturers, be Joined as defend
ants.
II am satisfied that the suit may be
made vastly more comprehensive and
far reaching he wrote, $50 as to
afford relief that has not heretofore
been considered as likely to be within
the scope of an action Of this char
acter."

GOMPERS OPPOSES
JUDICIAL TRIBUNALS

Strong opposition to President
Harding's recommendation of
judicial tribunals to decide la
Dor disputes was voiced by Pres
ident GOmpers Of the American
Federation of Labor, in a state
ment.
Experience in Australia, New
Zealand, and Kansas, Mr.. Com
pers declared, have proven such
tribunals a failure. He charac-
terized the Presidents recon-
mendatiOn as a "reversion to
conditions of 400 years ago,
when the court of Quarter Ses-
sions determined wages and con-
demned men to compulsory serv-
itude and slavery"

Few Unemployed In germany.

Germany has fewer unemployed
than at any time within IA years, ac-
cording to labor officials. In the min
ing industry, the building trade and
the chemical industry the number of
vacancies exceeds that of the unem-
ployed. The total unemployed Octo-
Der was 1s9,407. Export business
is booming, due partly to the exchange
