CHICAGO AND BALTIMORE
ADOPT GARMENT LABEL

CHICAGO, April 2.-The second
most important women's clothing
market in the United States will sew
the sanitary union label on all coats
and suits manufactured in this city
as a result of the agreement signed
recently between the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union and
the Chicago Cloak and Suit Manu-
facturers' Association.
Baltimore has already acted fav-
orably so that three big manufactur-
ing centers-New York, Chicago and
Baltimore-are committed to turning
out garments that bear a guarantee
Of sanitary shops and good workman
ship by union members. Nearly &c.
600 cloak and suitmalers are covered
by the agreements. An additional
10000 dressmakers are under the
same provision. Thus total of 95,-
600 women's garment makers will
get the benefit of the agreement.
Under the agreement provision is
made for an unemployment insurance
fund, similar to that in existence in
the New York cloak industry. In
Chicago, however, the employer will
contribute one and one-half per cent
of the weekly pay roll to the fund
and the workers three-quarters of
one per cent of their weekly pay. The
sum thus raised will be distributed
to those who fail to make an average
seasons work in the coming year.
Provision is made to introduce
standards in the local factories that
may result from the investigation of
the industry going on in New York.
The new agreement provides some
increases in wages, the cutters min
imum being increased from $45 to
$55 a week, that of button sewers
from $20.50 to $24, and of edge bast-
ers and fur sewers from $31 to $35.

FRENCH SEWING QUICKLY GAINS
TERMS FOR GARMENT WORKERS

BY international Labor News Service
NEW YORK, April 2.-"French
sewing" or sewing without thread
is a new tactical method developed
by 10000 dressmakers in their recent
successful manaevure against the job
bers that may be useful to other
workers in shop trades.
The method consists of the workers
ceasing to work but remaining in the
shops. Technically it was called a
4'stoppage," the international Ladies'
Garment Workers Union virtually
calling a strike although the workers
remained at the machines. The needle
might have flashed its lightning flick
er into the cloth but no work was
done for the reedle was not threaded,
or, as the girls termed it jokingly,
they did French sewing"
This new form of strike has its adj
vantages, for it makes picketing su-
perfous. It male the workers feel
that the places they occupy in the
shops are theirs, except that they re-
fused to work until they got what
they wanted, the union wage, which
the jobbers had tried to repudiate.
They remained in the shops, but
with arms folded" The method
was so successful that at the end of
> week of this novel treatment the
bosses ran up the white flag and re-
aihrmed their agreement. Then the

EUROPE LOOKS TO THIS
COUNTRY FOR HELP TO
SOLVE PLAY PROBLEMS

NEW YORK CITY, April 2.-For-
eign countries are looking to America
for help in solving their problems of
play and recreation, according to the
annual report of the Playground and
Recreation association of America,
just issued. Visitors from China
Japan, England, Russia, Canada and
Mexico called at the associations
New York headquarters for advice
and information last year, while re-
quests for help through correspon-
dence were received from 80 fotsign
eol1,1 1tTfcsfz -'as fz-,'=ss1 ~ = 49,
During 1924, $4,000 requests for
help were received by the associa-
tion's Correspondence and Consulta-
Bureau. Through the personal visits
of the associations field workers, 316
American cities were given substan-
tial service, while 255 cities used the
special service of the association di-
rected to finding and training local
recreation workers. The 1924 Recre-
alton Congress, an intensive training
institute, was attended by 800 recrea-
tion executives and volunteers from
1876 cities in 35 States and from sew
eral foreign countries.
The public playground movement
was born in Europe, it is stated.
Americas first directed public play
ground, a "sand garden" which was
opened in Boston in 1885, was model
ed after similar recreation spaces for
children in Germany. But the growth
of public recreation in this country
has been rapid, more than 700 cities
now maintaining Fairgrounds and
recreation centers under leadership.
A great body of scientific informa-
tion on recreation has been accumu-
lated from the experiences of Amer
lean cities and tabulated by the as
ISOLATION, which has prepared special
literature giving full data on the
more common problems arising in the
play and recreation field everywhere.

trade.

the bosses could not put others in our
places" said one girl leader to rep
resentative of the international La
Dor News Service.
And what could the bosses do +?
They could not very well call on
enough policemen to put 10000 strik-
ers, mostly girls who were eager for
the fray, out of the shops. Nor could
they apply for court injunctions since
they had signed a contract with the
union to pay the wages the strikers
were demanding.
The girls appeared every morning
for work, chatted and joked, played
games, danced to the radio, went out
for lunch, came back and quit
promptly to travel home at the end
of a perfect day.
The method commends itself to the
union for there were no chances for
disorder with the girls obeying the
unions instructions to conduct them
selves "as perfect ladies'" Further
more, there was no picketing needed,
for strikebreakers could not replace

CHILD STRUCK BY AUTO
IS NOW OUT OF DANGER

Robert Ziegler, Jr., the little son
of Robert ziegler, 1902 North B
street, was, struck by a truck last
week Tuesday while crossing the
street near his home and suffered q
severe fracture Of the skull near the
base of the brain. He was taken
to St. Joseph's hospital, where at
first his life was despaired of, but a
later diagnosis gave promise of re-
covery, although slowly. He is re-
ported now as out of danger but will
be at the hospital for some time yet.
Robert Ziegler, Sr., who is a prom
inent member of the Musicians un-
ion, stated that the accident was un-
avoidable.

AGENCY SHARKS GOUGE
lob SEEKERS IN CAPITOL

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, d. c., April g.
In the capital of the nation and right
under the noses of the President and
his Department of Justice, and in the
very presence of national legisla-
tors and professional investigators
Of all descriptions, jobseeking work.
ers have been gouged numerically
by employment agency sharks.
Persons seeking work, in some
cases, have been compelled to pay as
high as S22.50 for a job paying 800
month, and many of the bureaus
demand as high as 20 and 25 per cent
of the first months salary.
The law provides that no fee in ex-
cess of 81 shall be charged by an
employment agency, but large num-
Der of such bureaus have been found
which have been charging 10 or IL
times the lawful rate.
One bureau, which caters to secre-
tarial and stenographic positions, de-
manded 10 per cent for temporary
employment. On this basis it was
computed by the Investigator that
the agency would collect $102 if he
accepted temporary job offered. In
any case So fee must be paid be-
fore the bureau becomes interested
enough to even take the name of an
applicant.
Inquiry at the offices of the United
States Employment Service, which is
free, showed that officials there have
been fighting the tactics Of the pri-
vate agencies for years, although
nothing has been made public.

CARPENTERS UNION TO
VOTE ON AGE LIMIT
TO ADMIT TO HOME

BY International Labor News Service
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April a.
The United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters and Joiners of America have held
in allegiance the work of starting
building the home for aged and in
digent carpenters at Lakeland, Fla,
because of the refusal of the rank
and file to accept the limitations put
on members for admission to the
home.
At the last convention Of the car
penters in this city an age limit of
So years with 80 years continuous
membership in the union was adopt
ed as the fundamentals of admission
to the home. The rank and file Of
the membership of the union object
ed to this restriction with the result
that the executive board again put
the matter up to the membership
and asked what it desired.
Referendum to Govern
At this time there is no indication
as to what the membership seeks in
the matter of the age limit and union
membership, Secretary Frank Duffy
said, as the matter has not been be-
fore the rank and file long enough to
have a capitalization of sentiment in
the matter. He said that whatever
the membership voted in a referen-
dunn would govern.
Under the laws of the organization
local unions and districts can agree
and then submit a procedure in the
matter which in turn would be pre-
sented to the entire membership and
referendum vote taken to decide.
Secretary Duffy said this course
would follow in due time.
Pending, an agreement on rule Of
admission to the home the work of
building was held up and will not
proceed until the question of admis-
sion is settled. 1t had been the orig
inal intention of the union to have
started work on building the home
late last fall.
Union Owns Fine Land
The union owns 1900 acres of fine
land near Lakeland and most Of it
is in a state of cultivation. There is
an orange grove of 600 acres and
this winter the organization has dis
posed of huge crop of oranges. The
citrus fruit crops are expected to be
big source of revenue to the home.
The union has started to improve
the property and has constructed
iron fencing about the grounds and
otherwise improved the physical ap-
pearance of the farm. The next ma
tional convention of the union will
be held at the home in Lakeland, ac-
cording to the action taken by dele
gates at the convention here last
year.

CHRISTOPHER EVANS MEMORIAL SUGGESTED
FOR LATE HISTORIAN OF MINE WORKERS

By international Labor News Service
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April a.
Friends of the late Christopher Ev-
ans, historian of the United Mine
Workers of America, have suggested
that the organization erect a memor-
ial to him.
Chris" Evans, as he was known,
was a pioneer in the United Mine
Workers of America and suggested
the name, United Mine Workers of
America" in 1878. In fact, Evans
Created" the organization in 1870 by
suggesting that the way to clear the
feeling between the John Siney move
ment and I'D. A. 1876 of the Knights
of Labor" would be by convention
for the purpose of forming a neutral
body in which both organizations
could find shelter. From this there
emerged the United Mine Workers of
America, which name Evans suggest
ed as one being suitable for the or
ganization.
Held Union Commission
Christopher Evans held a commits
sion from Uriah Stevens, grand mag-
ter of the Knights of Labor for North
America, issued to him in 1873 along
with one to his brother, John Wesley
Evans, who still resides at Lonacon-
ming, Md. The commission issued to
Christopher Evans was for Ohio
where he did great work for the
cause of union labor and where the
United Mine Workers first saw the
light of day.
Mr.. Evans had the distinction of
being the first A. F. of L. secretary
under the regime of the late Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. At the second
election contest Mr.. Gompers was de-
feated by John Mcbride as president
of the Federation. Mcbride was from
Ohio and so was Secretary Evans.
Evans Immediately resigned as Sec
retary for the reason, he said, that he
did not believe two men from the
same State should hold the two NEST
important Offices in the Federation.
Refused lucrative oaers
Evans was offered any number of
lucrative positions outside the folds
of labor, but he turned them all down
because of his great desire to be of
unequivocal service to the cause of
union labor in which he believed with
all his heart. He continued to work
in the mines and later became statis-
tician for the international union of
United Mine Workers and was also
an organizer for many years.
During the latter part of his life,
Mr.. Evans devoted all his time to pre-
pairing history of the United Mine
Workers. He completed two volumes
of the history when he was forced to
relinquish his work because of i'll
health. He died at his home in Ohio
late last fall. Possibly no man con-
nected with the miners movement
from its incipiency to the present time
knew more about it than did Christie
pher Evans. In fact, he was closely
connected with all phases of organ
lied labor from the first organization
of the Knights of Labor.
It is not improbable that labor in
general will be asked to take part in
providing a suitable memorial to this
pioneer of the movement.

ture of the trade union movement is very
largely conditioned upon the effectiveness
with which we link up educational oppor-
tunities with trade union undertakings.
The trade unions were truly pioneers in
demanding free public schools so that
there might be equal educational oppor-
tunities. Along with the adoption of the
free public school institution, labor is ad-
vocating a constant widening of the SER
vice rendered by the public schools. Cul-
ture should not be the heritage of any
limited group. All should be enabled to
make their life experiences opportunities

LABOR WINS FIGHT
AGAINST new JERSEY
INJUNCTION JUDGES

NEWARK, N. J., April New
Jersey labor after 20-year fight has
put the first crimp in the Injunction
judges who compose the Court of
Chancery. There are nine Of them
under the supervision of q ehancel-
Tor, the term borrowed from the old
English, and they have turned out a
stream of injunctions against labor
that has made the State notorious
for its reactionary court decisions.
Labor's first victory to restrain
these judicial autocrats has been the
passing of the bill introduced in the
Legislature by Senator Richards Of
Atlantic City, passed in the closing
sessions by a unanimous vote of
both houses and signed by Governor
Silzer.
The law provides that when a strik-
er who defies an injunction forbid
ding him to picket or otherwise ex-
ercise his constitutional rights is
cited for contempt the case shall not
be heard by the vice chancellor who
issued the injunction.
Jury Trial Discretionary
It is further provided that a trial
by jury should be granted the ac-
cused but this is discretionary to the
second vice chancellor to get the case.
The law is therefore just begin
ming, but its unanimous passage in
what used to be corporation-ridden
State has encouraged labor.
'In the 20 years have been going
to the Legislature" said Henry F..
Hilfers, general organizer Of the A..
F. of L., 81 have never seen such
unanimous opinion on any bill. It was
the first labor measure enacted with
out opposition in the State that can
recall, Fl senators favoring it and Sc
in the Assembly, all those present.
Wanted Teeth in Bill
Governor Silzer hesitated In sign
ing it. He thought it was only a
gesture, but we appeared before him
explaining that we faiio1 70 get 6tF
original bill, making trial by jury
in contempt cases mandatory, out of
committee, but that we were glad to
have the unanimous approval of the
Legislature for the, Richards substi-
tute.
at. showed the trend Of public opin-
ion and that the day of judicial au-
tocracy is drawing to a close. We
will continue to strive to enact the
anti-injunction bill sponsored by the
Federation. We see our ultimate
victory over the injunction judges
much nearer at hand"
The anti-iniunction bills for which
the fight will be continued in New
Jersey as well as other States under
guidance of the Federation declare
that labor's right to organize is in
alienable and no injunction can be
issued to abridge it. Neither can free
speech, press or assemblage be en-
Joined. 1t is proposed that all cases
arising out of individual or collective
bargaining be taken from the courts
of equity property when injunctions
are issued and placed in the courts of
law. 1t specifically withdraws from
the courts the power to enjoin strikes
and peaceful picketing.
