 The letter, sponsored by democrat is members of the New York dele ga'ion, was published shortly after senator WadsWorth. who is a candi- date for rc-nomination in the New York republican primary. had de- 'larcd himself on the wet and dry issue. It appeared in Thursdays is. sue Of tho Record as an Extension ot Remarks hy Representative OConnor, democrat, New York.
 Representative Jacobstein, whose name is in Rochester. was the only New York democrat not listed among the sponsors when the letter was published but several others, incIud- ing Representative Black. a resident Of Brooklyn, have since asserted that 1t was written without their knowl- edge. Unlike Representative Jacob stein, they have no objection 10 the gneral purport of the letter, but they do object to its phraseolosy.
 The senator was accuGed of turn ing political flip Hops on prohibit ton, his votes for dry measures be- ing cited, was told he had been "ftred' hv the republican drys and was advised 10 ''join the only wet party in the state Of New York-the demorcatic"-if he wanted to appear on that side Of the issue.

McCAMANT
Rejected For Federal Judge
By Senate

Washington The presidents NOM
ination of Wallace McCamant for the
federal judiciary was rejected by the
senate by viva voce vote. Not one
senator raised his voice in defense
of the man who nominated the presi-
dent for vice president in 1920.
The nominee had previously been
reported favorably, but Senator John
son, of California, induced the senate
to refer the question back to the com
mittee. McCamant injured himself
when he told the committee Theodore
Roosevelt was not good American
because he favored the recall of judi
cial decisions. McCamant was counsel
for spruce corporation in Oregon
that secured valuable concessions
from the government and then at
tempted to employ Japanese labor.
When Senator Johnson was a can
didate for the presidential nomina-
tion he was favored by statewide
primary of Oregon republican voters.
McCamant was elected a delegate to

NASH TAILORING co.
NON-UNI0N
Employees Forced Into Sc
cessiOn Movement Not
Recognized by Organized
I.abOr-PrOduct Does Not
Bear Bona Eide Union
Label.
New York, March 30, 1926.

To Organized Labor, Greeting:
The Nash Tailoring Company, of
Cincinnati, Ohio, operating under the
so-called Golden Rule System" and
who from time to time have de-
nounced the labor movement and par
ticularly the American Federation of
Labor, recently forced it's employees
to join a secession movement, known
as the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America This organization
seeded from the United Garment
Workers of America in 1914 and is
net recognized by the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor | herewith quote
you from report of the credental
committee of the Philadelphia CON
vention of the American Federation
of Labor:
"The organization known as the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America grew out of a group seced-
ing from the United Garment Work
ers of America. These garment
workers by their acts of secession
have voluntarily alienated themselves
from membership in and rights to the
United Garment Workers of Amer
ica aud the American Federation of
Labor, and we, therefore, find that
they are not entitled to recognition
by this or any other body of organ
lied labor"
The Nash Tailoring Company is
about to operate a chain of stores
throu2 2hout@the United States, and
their statesmen are representing their
clothing as union made and deceiving
members of organized labor into pur-
chasing garments bearing the label
of secession movement not recog-
nized by the American Federation of
Labor
Any publicity that can be given to
the real truth in this matter will not
only be of great benefit to the United
Garment Workers of America, but or
ganized labor generally.
am enclosing folder showing fac
sirlile of label of the United Garment
Workers of America
Thanking you in anticipation of any
courtesy you may extend, | remain,
Fraternally yours,

General Secretary,

REVELS MARKED
EARLY CASTERS
Relaxation Allowed
After Rigors of
Long Lent.

Many Of the early customs Of East
but were in some way symbolic Of Joy
and, therefore were kept up as late as
the Seventeenth century.
In France and Germany handball
was one Of the Easter amusements.
The ball was supposed to represent
the sun. which was believed to take
three leaps in rising on Easter morn
ing. Bishops, priests and monks. aft
er the strict discipline of Lent, used
to play ball during Easter week The
ball game WAS also connected with
dance and was performed In the
church to the strains of the "victimae
Paschali" England also observed
Easter with the game OF ball, and
there the municipal corporation en-
gagged with due parade and dignity.
We are told that at Bury ST. Edmonds,
In recent years, this Easter sport was
kept up by twelve old women. After
the game banquet was held and
homily on the feast was read
Odd customa
A peculiar custom was observed on
Easter Monday when the women had
8 right TO strike their husbands, and
on Tuesday the men were allowed TO
return the compliment We read of
another peculiar custom In northern
England On Easter Sunday the men
paraded the streets and claimed the
privilege of lifting each woman three
times from the ground, receiving In
payment kiss or sixpence The next
day the women were allowed the same
privilege In Germany the men were
not so gentle, for It was the custom Of
the men servants to whip the maid
servants with switches on Easter and
on Monday the maids were allowed TO
whip the men. They could, however
secure their release with Easter eggs
Easter Fire.
The Easter fire Is perhaps more ia
miliar to us because the Catholic
church has adopted the observance
into It's Easter ceremonies. The East
er fire, in the earlier times, was lit on
the top of mountains and was kindled
from a new fire drawn from wood by
friction. This custom was of pagan
origin, signifying the victory Of spring
over winter for In some places a fig
ure was thrown into the fire symbo-
liking winter. but TO the Christians on
the Rhine, In Tyrol and Bohemia, II
signified Judas the traitor.
At Constantinople the Greeks gath
cred in the cemetery of Peru, where
festival was held A custom that still
prevails among some Of the foreign
born of our own country Is that OF
blessing the homes and also the food
which was prohibited during Lent
Though we think these customs are
quaint, perhaps peculiar, we have one
