2.OOO SHIRT AND WAIST WORKERS
 OUT ON STRIKE
Boston Industry Crippled in Demand For a Week of 40
 Hours

Boston, Feb. 23-Nearly 2,ooo women, girls and men went out on strike in the waist and dressmakine shops of this city this week to en- force a fve-day week of 40 hours according to union leaders after 8 check-up had been completed last night.
 Members of the Boston Waist and Dress Manufacturers Association olok on the demands of their workers as one of the greatest injustices to manufacturers, and say the manufac- turers cannot grant the 4o-hour week and remain in business. While ad- hitting the strike IS serious, mem bers of the association say that 1t is not 100 per cent. effective.
 Although the shops were picketed no demonstrations were reported to the police, who kept the pickets nov ing.
 The general strike order included all shops in the jurisdiction of Waist and Dressmakers' Union 4o and Pressers' Union I2, so that some half dozen shops that agreed upon the 4o- hour week, in place of the week of A >hours, were involved at the begin ming of the strike, but most of their hands will return to work this morn ing.
 With representatives fthe asso- ciation of the employers on the first day of the walkout reiterating their determination not to give in on the shorter work-week issue and union leaders asserting that the workers were prepared to remain out until the 4o-hour week was established, a pro tracted strike is indicated unless an unexpected break comes or the in junction proceedings, set for a hearing in the supreme court tomorrow, bring about a change in the present situation.

FORD RAILROAD
 MAKES PROFITS

New York Feb. 23.-By placing the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railroad in the class of net income earners during 1923, Henry Ford has made good on the boast made when he purchased the rail- road July 10 1920. At that time he stated that this property, which previ- ously had been returning devcit annu- ally, could be made to earn substantial provt.
 Preliminary vgures for the year 1923 indicate that the net operating income was l,786,o24, as contrasted with deficit of 2,121,52 in 1920, when the automo- bile manufacturer took charge. He in creased the gross revenues of the road from $4,481, ,036 in 1920 to $1O,417,412 in 1923
 A striking example is shown in com parison of 1922 and 1923. Although the gross revenue for the year recently ended was $l,412,o38 more than i'll the previ- ous year, the operating cost was reduced by $737,170 as compared with 1922.
 Methods used by Henry Ford in the operation of the railroad have differed from those in use on other railroads. Among the improvements is the recon struction of number of obsolete loco motives to bring them to higher eff ciency. His methods of identification of portions of the property have attracted the attention of the entire railroad world.
 He has aimed constantly at closer relationship with his men, and has taken to the railroad industry the methods which have been most valuable in the automobile industry Among them is the opportunity he gives employees of buy Ing special per cent certificates.

He then made the motion that the organization go on record as unalterably opposed to the Klan and its principles, which was promptly seconded.

 Another delegate suggester that if there were any Klan members present, they be given an opportunity to declare just what the principles of the order were He said that he was opposed to the commonly understood principles of the order, but that statements of those principles appearing one day the press were usually denied in the same papers on the next day.

B uilders Exchange Signs a Two Year Agreement With All but Bricklayers Who Have Separate Case. Other Cities Make Like Demands.

Waterbury, Feb. 23.-As the result of negotiations that have been going on for several weeks between the building contractors and representa- tives of the various building trades building craftsmen in Waterbury are to receive an increase to $I an hour, effective April Is, according to the terms of two year agreement signed Monday at a meeting of the Water bury Builders Exchange with the rep resentatives of the Building Trades Union. The present rate is 90 cents an hour
 According to F. M. Stibbes, sec retary of the Builders Exchange, it is the first time in number of years that two year agreement has been signed in this city. For a number of years past the agreements have been from year to year. The craftsmen represented in the new agreement are plumbers, electricians, carpenters and painters.
 An official of the Builders Exchange said that Waterbury IS unusually for tunate with regard to the cost of skilled labor in the building line Other cities after next spring will pay from 25 to 40 per cent more than the new rate here.
 The Builders Exchange has yet to deal with the masons. They are now receiving $I.I2H an hour and want $I.5o an hour. The representatives of the master builders organization will meet representatives of the mas ons union some time before spring to dicker with them.
 The victory in Waterbury argues well for the success of tradesmen in other cities in Connecticut who do not already enjoy the $I an hour wage but who have now pending, or soon will have, demands for similar rates These include Meriden, Bristol, New Haven, where the ST an hour and more is being paid but not recognized by agreement, and other places
