SEES CHANGE
in INDUSTRY
Boston Convention Is
Told Of New Problems

BOSTON, Mass, May o.
After building up in IS years one
of the strongest unions in the
country and winning a large
share of control in the in
dusty, the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union is
faced with basic change in the
industry.
This necessitates new tactics
by the union unless it is to lose
its power. This challenge is
thrown out to the international
Ladies' Garme nt Workers
Unions b e n IN i a convention
here by the executive boards
report, which says:
Jobber Now In Control
"These two new developments are
the transition in control in the indus
try from the manufacturer to the job
Der, and the return on a wholesale
scale to the smaller shop, the shop
ostensibly owned by the sub-manu-
facturer or the contractor but virtu-
ally owned by the jobber. The job
bers are to all intents and purposes
the manufacturers, but they carry no
responsibility as far as work stand
ards are concerned and practically
have no obligations to the workers.
"The question Of ascertaining de-
finitely whether the jobber is send
ing his work to union or non-union
shops is left largely to chance.
Small Shop is Sweat Shop
under such system the jobber is
bound to make huge profits, the
workers, and in many instances the
contractors, are the inevitable losers
and suffers"
The report points out that the small
shop means the sweat shop. In New
York the union in negotiating a new
agreement, is trying to reduce the
number of shops from 5000 to 1000
or 500, and to make the jobber re-
sponsible for union conditions for the
workers.
Membership Is 100000
Membership in the union during the
last two years has remained stable at
about 100000, says the report. But
there are fewer members in the cloak
and dress trade because the manu-
facturers of Notwithstanding hem
embroidery--has become a
separate industry. This must be

has about gone out of existence, and
fur and knit coats are taking the
place of some of the former cloak
industry.
There are still tens of thousands

lea unorganized. Entire branches of
the industry have only been touched"
the report confesses.
Markets Face Shrinkaae
I'm Philadelphia the market is
also in Baltimore and Gin
cinnati. Toledo is unorganized and
st. Louis, except the small cloak
trade. San Francisco is open-shop
and Los Angeles largely so. The /.
L. G. w. U. have no collective agree
ments in Toronto and Montreal.
Relatively the last two years have
been peaceful, says the report. But
is now in the midst of a
dress strike, and negotiations for a
New York contract have gone on for
a month without results.

CATHOLIC WOMEN MAY
USE CANES ON CANNES;
NOT WELCOME IN CHURCH

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 6.--Canes are
quite popular with women here. The
pastor Of the Church Of the Vista

must be parked in the hall. "They
are all right for hitting and beating
off dogs, but inappropriate in church,

JAPANESE ENVOY
ELUC|DATES NOTE
Hanihara Tells Hughes That
Yelled Threat Was Not
in His Mind.

Washington. = Masanao Hanihara,
the Japanese ambassador, in a letter
to Secretary of State Hughes which
was maze public here, 1i.avowed any
thought of uttering a threat whel he
said in his letter of April 10 that en-
actment Of Japanese exclusion legisla-
ton by the United States would
bring grave consequences upon the
otherwise happy and mutually advan-
tageouS relations between our two
countries"
Ambassador Is Shocked.
The ambassador was greatly shocked
by the Interpretation of his protest in
the senate.
This Interpretation, the ambassador
now explains, was grievously mis-
taken. All he had meant to say was
that whereas there is hearty co-opera-
ton" existing between japan and the
United States the enactment &c al ex-
tend to create, an unhappy atmosphere
OF Ill feeling and misgivings over the
relations between our two countries"
Believe Situation Is Unchanged.
In lone quarters the ambassadors
denial t. regarded ss strengthening
the position OF Secretary Hughes, who
has regarded the exclusion legislation
mistaken policy from the start and
has counseled the admission of Jap
anese on quota basis. Secretary
Hughes Is reported to have advised
the President to veto the bill.
administration leaders in congress
expressed the opinion, however, that
the latest exchange of letters between
the ambassador and Mr.. Hughes would
not change the situation.
The bill with the exclusion cause
intact will go to the President in a
few days, 1t was predicted, and If
Mr.. Coolidge should veto it, it would
be repassCd.

Steel Magnate Labels Body
the Worst Thing in
America.

New York.-Elbert III. Gary, chair
man of the United States Steel cor
poration, addressing the annual stock
holders meeting in Hoboken, predict
ed continued prosperity, criticized con-
gress and praised the administration
OF President Coolidge. Declining to
commit himself on the subject of divi-
dends, he declared that the corpora
ton was running at such a high rate
that 1t would be only natural if some
recession was experienced.
Sees Prosperity.
Business men," he said, "who can
not see prosperity ahead are men
either of poor judgment or intellect. l
have great faith in the future of
American business"
In answer to question, he stated
abolition Of the twelve-hOur day was
resting the corporation $35,000,0OO a
year and had increased the cost of its
product 10 per cent, but that in max
Ing this reform the corporation had
acceded to a public sentiment and
pleased the late President Harding.
Worst Thing We Have.
This was what Mr.. Gary had to say
regarding congress:
"The worst thing we have, about
which l hesitate to say anything and
In saying intend to offend no single
Individual, is our American congress.
II speak as single citizen, and not
as a partisan. l speak of men not
because of their political affiliations
but because of what they have done
and are doing.
There are men in congress who are
naturally selfish and who act, vote,
and take the view which best advances
their personal interests. There are
others who have good minds and good
intentions, but whose actions make
them just as bad as the first. Others
have little experience in business or
are of poor judgment or are Influenced
by unworthy consideration"

Arizona Governor Lifts
Ban on Auto Tourists

Phoenix, Ariz.-Governor Hunt of
Arizona lifted the foot and mouth dis
ease blockade at Yuma in order to
permit the passage into this state of
approximately 800 motorists, reported
in a pitiful condition, as a result of
their being held On the California side

gram to DR.. e. L. STAN, in charge of
the quarantine at Yuma, the governor
stated he felt ''it would be safer 10

than to have them rush the guard"

FIVE BILLIONS OF
FAKE OIL STOCK OUT

Washington.-W. w. Tarbell, veteran
bell, historian of Standard Oil, told the
senatorial Teapot Dome investigators
that there were floated in this country
in 1921 and 1922 total of $6,0O0,0OO,-
900 par value of oil stocks and that
over 80 per cent of these fotations
were, as he put it, fakes" n
Out of the abundance of his expert
ence he then gave the senators this
astounding survey of oil stock manipu-
lation, first commenting on the alleged
80 per cent bogus in the six billion
flotation
Whether these figures can be con-
firmed or not" he said, eve know they
are not far wrong; further, that no
one Of these wrecks is listed with the
total of $4,0OO,OOO,000 of par value oil
stocks on the New York stock and
curb exchanges, which average in the
market quotations considerably above
par.
Nov, as to the bogus stocks, the
shares which represent them are hid
den away in the broken trunks and
bureau drawers of men and women
who labor-their values to them only
a sickening memory"
The witness continued with a SEN
sational narrative of Mammoth Oil
manipulations, referring to Harry Sin
clair as "a prince of manipulators."

EIGHT CHICAGO FIRE
FIGHTERS ARE KILLED

Chicago.-Eight fremen and ond
civilian were killed and fifteen others
were injured, some so seriously that
they may die, when blazing wall of
a four-story stone-front building at
1859 Blue Island avenue collapsed.
The known dead: Capt. Jack Bren-
nan, Lieut.. Frank Frosch, Thomas
Kelley, Sam T. Warren, Michael De-
vine, Frank Leavy, Edward Kersting,
and William Behr, civilian.
The firemen killed or injured were
trapped on the fire escape of the
structure on ladders against its front
or upon a water tower which had been
playing streams on the flaming roof.
Tons of masonry swept down upon
the fire fighters and the watchers so
suddenly that none had opportunity to
reach safety.
Police and frehen dug frantically
in the smoldering ruins all through
the night, removing the dead and
searching for others possibly still
buried there 1t is thought, however,
that all of the victims have been
taken out.
From the standpoint of casualties in
the fire department it was the worst
disaster which has visited Chicago
since the stockyards fire in December,
1910, in which Fire Chief "Jim" Koran
and twenty of his men lost their lives.

Judges Ruling Clues
Chicago Horse Racing

Chicago.-The so-called oral betting
system now practiced at race tracks
in New York and Louisiana is not
violation of the Illinois anti-betting
laws, according to a decision handed
down in Criminal court by Judge Will
liam j. Lindsay. The decision was In
the case of an alleged bookmaker and
bettor arrested at the Hawthorne track
during the race meeting there last
summer. The case so clarifies the Illi-
nois anti-betting laws that it will give
to Chicago the chance to conduct
thoroughbred racing on elaborate
scale.
