AWAIT WAGE DECISION
Strike Imminent as Union
Claims Success.

The threatened strike Of 40, 900 women
workers in the waist and dress industry
hangs In the balance while the Dress
and Waist Makers Union awaits word
from the manufacturers as to whether
they will insist upon their demand for
IS per cent. wage cut. In the mean
time the fight against the open shop
is being continued.
On Monday Jacob Halprin, general
manager of the union, issued an appeal
to all non-union workers to quit their
jobs and sign with the union upon prom
ise of agreements with employers that
will guarantee more pay and better
working conditions. According to julius
Hochman, leader of the drive, $50 shops
have been tied up and between 1900
and 1000 workers have been added to
union ranks. He said yesterday he
would continue until all open shops have
been abolished.
The case of the American Cloak and
Suit Manufacturers Association against
Benjamin Schlesinger. individually and
Workers Union. to restrain the latter
from holding union meetings was
dropped yesterday when neither side
made answer before JuHice Guy in the
Equity Term. Supreme Court.
The shops are running under a de-
cision of Justice Wagner. who recently
decided In favor of the unions on the
question of the forty-four hour week.

TO RETURN GERMAN
PROPERTY BY TREATY
White House So Announces
When Pressure Is Exerted
on Senate.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HmALp.

PRESSURE was brought to bear In the
senate to-day to bring about return
to their owners of German property
seized during the war.
AT the same time 1t was officially an
nounced at the White House that agree
ments relative to the return OF this
property would be made through special
treaty arrangements with Germany.
Final action in returning this prop
erty depends. as 1t Is understood. upon
the settlement OF claims OF American
citizens against Germany for property
seized there and damages incurred dur
ing the prosecution of the war. These
may include damages Incident to the
Lusitania disaster.
Agitation In the Senate for the return
OF German property to its owners was
started by Senator King (Utah, Demo-
craft. who announced that he intends
to press action this week on his bin be-
fore the judiciary Committee providing
for the restoration of all property to the
Germans living in this country which
was seized during the war;
"Our attitude in holding that property
now that peace has been restored and
diplomatic relations resumed" he said.
'is q relic of barbaric days, when pri-
vate property was seized and kept and
persons captured were butchered. AS We
are now a creditor nation to the extent
of nearly 100000, ,000,0 900 we should not
countenance for a moment the seizure
or private property to offset any other
claims this nation may have against a
former belligerent nation."'
The Utah Senator said the Germans
acquired property in this country under
the impression that 1t would be guarded
by "the sacredness OF treaties which pro-
vide Immunity Of private property
against seizure in case of war;"
Senator King is also waiting patiently
for report from Alien Property Gus
todian Miller in response to a resolution
adopted by the Senate calling upon him
to submit to that body list Of property
seized during the war, fees paid to Gus
todians, lawyers and other agents. He
is of the opinion that thorough invcs-
tigation of that field will unearth much
rottenness, If not actual confiscation Of
private property.
From information in his possession
Senator King added he is convinced that
a great injustice has been done to many
German property owners by this Gov
ernment.
'Much of their property has been sold
at ridiculous prices" he continued, "and
the rest Is in the hands Of custodians
who are exacting in many instances out
rageous charges which are being checked
off against the property. Exorbitant
fees are being paid to lawyers for
trifiing work and agents are paid large
sums for insignificant service out Of the
revenues from the property.
Reports reaching me on that subject
seriously reflect on the honor and in
tegrty of this Government ard I propose
to do everything possible to bring out the
facts and remedy situation that is in
defensible'

OUACKENBUSH DENIES
CRAIG'S I. r. T. CHARGE

Comptroller Charles l.. Craig, in his
address last Saturday at the National
Republican Club, referred to the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company as "hav-
ing defaulted" in the January / quar-
terly installment of $1,050.000 rental
due to the Manhattan Elevated.
In reply yesterday James l.. Quacken-
bush, general counsel to the INTERIOR
ough. said that except In a technical
sense the Interborough is not In default
Of that obligation. The sum named has
not yet been paid to the Manhattan, but
under the contract of lease with that
corporation the Interborough has ninety
days grace in which to meet each quar-
terly payment after the date on which
1t falls due.
The last three or four times the COM
pany has taken advantage of that clause,
as 1t is doing now. Only thirty of the
available ninety days have elapsed and,
counsel explained. there is every reason
to believe the interest payment will be
met within the limit, as heretofore.
Mr.. Quackenbush in Judge Mayors
court Monday. when Clarence Fl. Ven-
ner's receivership action against the In
terborough was withdrawn, declared that
his company had In bank s2.57S,000
with which to meet current liabilities of
$2,350,000. He assured the court that
the Interborough was in position ito so
along comfortably until next September
when its notes for $3S,144.000 mature.
Frank Hedley, president of the Inter
borough, in an affidavit filed by him
in the venner litigation. recently stated
that the Interborough has opened nego-
tiations with the Manhattan stockhold-
ers looking to some abatement in the
burdensome terms of the lease. There
are about 5000 Manhattan stockholders
whose consent is requisite to modify the
present terms of rental

pleas Of the people Of Europe, but let
us not forget that a prosperous Amer
lea can help the world but a PROSTATE
| America cannot Until we can produce
We cannot help.
Congress is struggling to enact q
tariff bill which will enable Us, as a
people and a nation. to work for our
selves, our country and the world, but
no tariff will build a foundation for
prosperity which does not remedy the
hole In our present law which the fuc-
tuations In foreign exchange have torn
in it.
I'VE have American standards In
everything but our tariff. To-day, In
my opinion, the hour has como when we
should put American standards in our
tariff laws. The simple and effective
way of doing this Is by substituting
American standards of value for the
present archaic standards Of foreign
values. This is the essence OF American
valuation which will do for our indus

A drastic investigation or the offices
of the Alien Property Custodian and the
Department of Justice during the war
has been requested by Samuel Inter
myer of New York In a letter to Senator
william H. King (Dem.) Of Utah. made
public to-day.
His letter to Senator King said in
part:
II trust that the time has at last come
for fearless, drastic and comprehensive
investigation Of the offices of the Allen
Property Custodian and the Department
of Justice during the war, and l believe
that notwithstanding the fact that 1t
concerns our party you have the pa
triot.sm and are fired by the spirit of
public service that is above PARTISAN
ship.
TT is the general impression that
huge scandals lie underneath the sur
face. Why not fearlessly expose the
facts no matter where 1t strikes? Above
all. let us have no repetition of the
superficial 'whitewashing performance
such as was once halfheartedly under

PAY FINAL RESPECTS
TO MRS. c. v. REED
Many Old Friends Assembled at the
Methodist Church for Funeral of
Beloved Pioneer

One of the largest attended funeT-
ais in Pullman history was that of
last Sunday afternoon. when hun
dreds of friends of Mrs G. w Reed
assembled at the Methodist church
TO pay fitting tribute to the mem
DRY of the beloved pioneer. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
j. G.. Law of the Methodist church,
and the members of four organiza-
tions attended in a body, these being
the w. r. c., the Neighbors of
Woodcraft, Rebekahs and Kappa
Beta sorority. The floral tributes
were profuse and beautiful
Mrs Reed was one of the earliest
settlers in this country, her father,
c, c. Branham, building the first
house between Pullman and Palouse.
Mr. Branham was one of the early
leaders for community good. In the
early days people went from Pull
man to Whelan to church and he
was one of the leaders in organizing
church work there.
All of her life Mrs. Reed followed
her father in public spirited devo-
tion to communit welfare In pub
lie affairs, in lodge work and in the
church she was faithful. She
worked in the Methodist church,
first in a small building on Sunny
side hill then a larger one on Kami-
aiken street, then the present edifice,
and in every move she was a most
loyal and self-sacrificing worker.
The effect of such lives will be felt
for generations in the community.
Mrs Reed was devoted to her
family, making her home of the
quiet, Christian type, which means
so much to American life. With Mr..
Reed, she was on a well-earned vaca-
tion in California when death came,
visiting such old friends as Mr.. and
Mrs. R. G. Smith and Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Hungate and others.
Mrs. Reed was stricken on the 9th
and died on the oath of March. She
lived one of the most useful of lives
and her departure is widely mourned.
