FIVE-DAY WEEK
For Infant Wear Industry
Won By Union

By International Labor News Service.
New York City.-The five-day week
of AZ hours has been established by
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union in the infant wear
industry by agreement. The coat
workers, in the lead-Off position, cut
two hours off their weekly schedule
and decided that it was better to have
all Saturday off than come to the shop
and work for a few hours on that day.
The reduction in hours was bal
anced by an increase in wages, week
workers getting 10 per cent increase
and piece workers 5 per cent increase
and 81 more week.
The rain-coat making industry has
reaffirmed the fve-day week of 40
hours. Wages were raised as much
as SIS in some shops.
Both successes are evidences of
the unions rapid recovery from the
Communist raids. The International
reds former stronghold, the Joint
Board building. A week before the
bank had to buy in building owned
! by Local 9, one of the Communist
nests, that the Communists valued
so little that they failed to meet the
taxes and interest on it.
Efforts are now being made to re-
vive the use of the "Prosanis" label,
indicating that garments are made in
sanitary shops. This protection for
the consumer and worker was kicked
aside by the union destroyers after it
| had demonstrated it's value to insure
shop cleanliness. comfortable work
surroundings and frmer control of
work standards.

Contract Bird e-the Newest Game
BY +. Y. SHEPARD
Bridge authority and author of text books the

vantage of his ability to play the
joint rs cards of his side. Z saw that
he must lose a single club: he must
also lose two diamonds, unless he
could discard them before opponents
gained entry. In case A held the
missing king of trumpS he must also
lose a heart trick He could not go
game and must suffer a penalty if he
lost all 4 of those tricks, so he re-
duced his possible loss to tricks by
at once putting up dummy's diamond
A, then laying down US two top
spades, discarding a diamond on the
second one. There was no safe way
to attempt to win trick with his own
spade q and later on try to discard
two losing diamonds on rs top spades.
BY playing as he did Il made just
4-odd thus fulfilling his contract and
scoring game.

many ld-time players would still do,
Illustrated the modern method of pre-
ferring sound major suit declara-
ton to any notrump lacking all four
aces in the declaring hand.
Had Y bid no-trump he could have
made only 2-odd, as the average val
ues of cards hold only when the 26
cards of the Joint hands are played at
their best declaration. BIS opening
lead of his fourth best diamond at no
trump would have held the score down
to less than game. because the de-
tenders must have won 3 diamond, l
club and 1 heart trick a total of 5
defensive tricks. More on valuing

Disregarding the opinion of coroner's
july that j Garfield Ball, As. wealthy
rancher had committed suicide. officers
of two counties today sought a sus-
pected slayer of the man who was mar
ried less than a week ago. after a

was found shot To death at his ranch
home. near Hemingford, Nebr., Tues
day morning.
Quarrel is Mentioned.
The coroner's jury found that Ball
committed suicide because of despon-
lency and worry, but reports that he
recently had a misunderstanding with
an acquaintance, together with other
clues, led county officials to a search
for the suspected enemy.
The young bride was absolVed OF
any blame in connection with her nus
hands death She testified the first
she knew of the shooting was when
she heard a gun report while prepar-
ing breakfast. She said she found Ball
living on the bed with a rifle nearby.
Tired Of Ranch Life
The theory that the rancher com
mitted suicide was based on testimony
of neighbors that he was worried
financially over debts incurred by the
bride before the marriage, and that he
was preparing to sell considerable
property to meet these obligations.
Ball, father Of five children by N

address from a friend. c. f. Ball, his
