CAMATED
HALTS BOSSES
WAGE CUT PLAN
Agreement Continues
Until 1925.

The Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers has come successfully thru pro-
tracted negotiations with the mems
clothing manufacturers of the Chicago
district, it was learned yesterday from
Samuel Levine, manager Of the Chi
cago Joint Board
Wages and working conditions will
remain unchanged until the termina-
ton of the agreement in 1925. EN-
ployers finally agreed to give up their
demands for wage reductions.
Union Rejected Wage Cut.
The agreement was made in 1922
to last until 1925. Under it's terms
either side had the option Of opening
negotiations for change in terms at
the end Of each year. The employers
this year took advantage Of this and
asked for a wage cut However, the
union refused to consider a reduction
in wages and after prolonged discus
sion the employers yielded the point
rather than face the stoppage Of pro-
iduction that would have followed a
Wage Cut.
$4,000 Workers Affected.
Twenty-Five thousand clothing work
ers are included in the Amalgamated's
ranks in this district and there is gem
eral satisfaction that the union has
maintained its position. The fact that
the Amalgamated had enough sur
plus strength to contribute 10000 to
its sister needle trades union, the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers,
for the dressmakers' strike, is beliC I'd
to have been a factor in convincing
the bosses Of the folly of starting
trouble.
The Chicago market has been al.
most completely organized since the
long and hard 1919 strike when in
functions and thousands of arrests
fail to halt the victorious clothing
workers. Hart, Schaffner G Marx
and several other firms came in num-
Der of years before.

SITKA, Alaska, April 1.-THE
four air cruisers flying around the
world were all gassed and ready for
hopping off today for Cordova,
Alaska, but weather reports were
unfavorable and it seemed probable
the flight would be delayed.
Major Frederick L. Martin. in
command of the flight, said he was
prepared to take the next jump
of AIS miles to Cordova as soon as
the weather was more promising.
Major Martin reported today there
was little tuning up to be done on
the four ships, as they arrived
from Prince Rupert, British Co
lumbia, yesterday in perfect condi
ton.
He said the going was extremely
tough, however, in the flight from
Prince Rupert, as the take.off was
made in the rain with poor visi

THIS is education week AN America

Of right, entitled TO the best education the

The United States Departments Of labor

mon the percentage OF children attending
school is lowest I'm oyster and shrimp

non-working children. In eight Philadel-
phia schools, from which children are
drawn 10 work on truck farms, IL was
found that the percentage OF absences dur

per cent. In one school il was 33 per cent.
II should be understood that these chill

Every parent of a child in school knows
the vital necessity of regular attendance.
Every normal parent endeavors, for the
childs own good, TO see that attendance
is regular in order that the child may not
be discouraged by seeing others advance
beyond il. Every such parent can realize
that such child labor is an utterly unfair
handicap upon the little folks who are
allowed TO do this work.
So long as there is no federal child labor

Sdring oar Deer

COMES Dan Hogan, of the police depart
~ ment Who has hunted big game ln
the OymplCS for more than "a sCpr ut
ye8iS, with the suggestion that the hunt
ing season. AS now laid out. is an wrong
Hogan contends that We are aiding
rather than stopping the slaughter of
deer by combining the open season on the
animals 20 a short two weeks a year He
points out that cougar klIl more deer than
do hunters - that every cougar kills a
deer every three DAYS And with only
IL days in the woods year hunter is
not going 20 spend any time hunting
cougar, which take from two 20 three days
10 track, but is going 20 devote all Of his
shooting time 10 bear and deer Hogan
argues.
The answer? Extend the season over
q period Of one or two months. Hogan
says, BUT Do NOT INCREASE THE
BAG LIMIT That will mean that man
can go out and shoot the one deer he is
now entitled 20 az any time during the
fall, but il will not increase the number
of animals that are shot. IL viii prevent
the mad scramble into the brush which
now takes place every fall, when all the
hunters in the country crowd into the
woods nj the same time, endangering lives
with the possibility of their shooting each
other. And il will mean that many of
these hunters. secure in the knowledge
that they need not rush 10 beat the clos
ing of the season, will spend couple of
extra days in helping to rid the country
of cougar.
That's Hogan's argument
It's our own opinion that the states
dwindling supply Of deer would be better
off if the short season is continued, and
if cougar hunting is encouraged by
bounty on the animals THAT WILL BE
PAID. Hunters at present cannot collect
for them, because, altho $50 bounty
exists, there is no state appropriation to
pay it.
The preservation of our deer is a ques-
ton that interests us all.
The Star would be glad to receive the
views Of readers on how it can best be
done.

Dangerous Places

THE most dangerous place to be is in
L an auto, claims a prominent insur-
ance expert. Thirty per cent of the ac-
cidents he investigates occur in autos.
Almost as many accidents (25 per cent
of total) happen in homes. Commonest
home accidents are cuts, falling down
stairs, slipping from ladders.
However, regardless of where you are
safety is largely matter Of personal eau
ton. Develop the safety-first habit in
your children. Worth more than large
