GARMENT union
LEADERS STILL
MARKING Time
Union Demands Include
the 4O-Hour Week
BY LUDWELL DENNY.
Federated Press staff Correspondent.


NEW YORK, June 1O.-Faced with
a union strike vote of 81, 403 to 449,
the Merchants Ladies' Garment AS
ISOLATION, employing jobbers' organ
ization, has renewed negotiations
which 1t broke off with the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers I'm
ion in New York City. officials Of
the union are holding up the strike
order for a few days in the hope that
the employers will come to. terms, and
the union members are working with
out contract the old agreement hav-
ing expired May 81.
Even If the jobbers' organization
signs with the union, a strike is con-
sidered inevitable against the remain
ing IS per cent Of the shops, which
are Independents and members Of the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
Protective Association. Negotiations
with the latter group, which rejected
the unions five major demands, have
not been reopened.
Affected by the strike vote are
$4,000 cloak and suit workers, and
some dress and waist workers in
shops manufacturing all kinds Of gar
ments. AS the busy season in the in
dustry does not open until the middle
Of July or later, the union has been
anxious to prolong negotiations rather
than strike in the dull season.
The issue is the unions demand for
a reorganization of the industry,
which would reduce the number Of
small irresponsible shops from about
5000 to 1000. The jobbers, who are
the real, tho indirect manufacturers,
would be made responsible for wages
and conditions in the contractors
shops.
Other demands include the 40-hour
instead of the 44-hour week, guaran-
teed period Of employment (3S weeks
a year has been suggested), unem-
ployment insurance, minimum wage
increases, and the union label. The
contractors, formed into the Ameri-
can Cloak and Suit Manufacturers
Association, will have to accept any
terms reached by the union and job
bers and manufacturers organiza-
lions.

SCIENCE

and most interesting.
Complete skeletons or men OF this
race have been found I'm caves and
grottocs in Europe and they nre
spoken Of as Cro.Magnards because
one Of these places was the grotto
Of Cro.Magnon. They were. so far
as VIC know. the first true men. They
we're a tall people. with broad faces
and big brains. They lived in Eu.
rope between $4,000 and 10000 years
ago.

smashed by a heavy blow Tho brain
capacity Of this woman exceeded that

Same group was tho skeleton OF n
child, that OF an old man, nearly ak
feet high. and the skeletons Of two
young men. Tho men OF this race
hunted tho mammoth. reindeer. bison

Life Insurance for Babies

n IISS RUTH Jones' Seates first 1924 baby, is given
wi an insurance policy for $1,000.
This serves to call attention to somewhat neglected
phase of insurance Many companies write policies for
children at low rates Then when the child becomes of
college age there is a substantial sum waiting to pay
expenses. .
If your child is years DID, many companies will write
an endowment policy maturing when he is 10. For
small sum that you will not miss each week, you may
assure him college at hardly any expense TO
yourself.

Conan DOYLE Regrets

CONAN DOYLE regrets that he created the world
~ famous Sherlock Holmes detective stories. Writing
his memoirs in the Strand, English magazine Doyle
confdes that he is disappointed because his Sherlock
Holmes yarns have ecpsed what he considers his
literary works such 'The White Company"
All this is amazing. The Sherlock Holmes stories and
their dramatic rights understood to have brought
Doyle million dollars.
Theatrical booking agents will nod their heads and
repeat: yes, when they sing they want to dance
And when they can dance, they want to sing"
The life function purpose of Conan Doyle unques-
tonaby the writing of the Sherlock Holmes stories
He started out as physician in Edinburgh. He felt
pulses and prescribed pills for eight years his income in
this time never exceeding 81 400 year.
Then he wrote Study in Scarlet" first of his detective
thriers-calling his hero Sherrinford Holmes. The
name later was changed. DR.. Watson originally was
known as 0rmond Saker.
In all history there have been only three endurably
great ficonal deectives-Poe's Dupn, Gaboraus Mon
sieur Lecoq and Doyes Sherlock Holmes These are the
three greatest Holmes brought Doyle million dollars
