Half Of Insurance
Quotas 10 Sigman

The right wing Of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union win
soon have an additional $4,000 with
which to fight the Cloak and Dress
makers Joint Board, according to
statement issued yesterday by Joint
Board officials. They refer to re-
port in yesterdays issue of Women's

According to Women's Wear, the
Merchants Association, the jobless
branch Of the industry, has reached
an understanding with the right wing
Of the union whereby they will pay
so per cent of their Indebtedness to

ut is significant that at time
when the union was stronger" the
statement says, "and when the money
was needed to pay unemployment in
surance to the cloakmakers, the job
bers refused to pay and it was prac-
tically impossible to collect any mon
ey from them. But now, when the
fund is abolished, when no unemploy-
ment insurance has been paid to the
workers, and when Sigman himself
has admitted in court before Magis-
trate Brodsky that the sum of $780,
600 of the fund has been used up to
maintain his machine" in power and
fight against the membership, now
the decision of the jobbers to give
more bride money to Sigman to be
used in a similar manner is an in
dication to what extent the Sigman
clique has made alliances with the
bosses in order to crush the member
ship.
Part of Campaign.
"This effort to collect money from
the bosses to be used in the war
against the members comes in stimuli
taneously with a campaign by the
Sigman clique to force the members
who were compelled to register to pay
up their dues. All cloak and dress
takers should resist with all their
might the attempts of the clique to
extort dues from them. All workers
who want union to serve their in
terests should not pay a single cent to
the Sigman clique, which is subsi-
died and supported by the bosses,
and is in the full sense of the term
not a labor union but company
union"

night, July 9th.

charge and says he was not in New

members of his former flock testified
they saw him in Newark that night
and several said they saw him run
ming away from the direction of the

ASYLUM

Following an examination by DR..
Arthur P. Herring, State Cimmission-

ent of Spring Grove Ssylum and DR..
w. H. Fisher, physician to Centre
vile Jail, Mrs. Marie Menus, charged
with causing the fire which wiped out
business block in Church Hill on
July 10, was committed to Spring
Grove Asylum for observation.
If the former Church Hill confec-
tionary store operator is found sane
she will be returned to Centreville to
face a preliminary hearing before
Justice Robert Cousey, on the SER
ious charge of being responsible for
starting the blaze which occasioned
an $88,000 loss to citizens OF Church
Hill.
Although Detective Joseph F.
Daugherty, assigned to the case by
the State Insurance Commissioner
Carville d. Benson is confident he
has information which will definitely
couple Mrs. Menus with the alleged
crime, residents of Church Hill, are
virtually unanimous in expressing
the sentiment that the blaze was
caused by the carelessness OF some
indiviual who tossed match, Gig
arctic or cigar at the spot where the
fire was first sighted.

der new ruling of the General AS
.sembly.
For private cars license tags and
registration cards are issued at IL
cents for each horsepower on and
after Aug, l, instead of the full rate
of 32 cents.
The new law was passed, it is said,
at the instance of automobile dealers,
who discovered some opposition
among purchasers buying new cars
in the middle of the year when it
would be necessary to pay the full
rate for tags to be used only five
month or less.

CECIL FARMERS DAY
Prominent Speakers Address Large
Gathering At Port Deposit

Prominent Speakers Address Large
Gathering At Port Deposit
The annual Cecil County Farmers
Day, held at Tome School, Port De-
post, drew a large crowd to listen to
the interesting addresses of the
prominent speakers on Saturday.
Dan H. Otis, director Agriculture
Commission, American Bankers AS
ISOLATION, addressed the morning
session. He urged efficiency on the
farm and by charts illustrated the
net profit of purebred stock as COM
pared with cheaper stock. He said,
in speaking of farm relief, that all
the price fixing he had ever heard OF
meant higher prices, greater produc-
ton and less demand.
Mr.. Otis asked would it not be
better to increase production at less
cost and cited the course of the auto
mobile makers as an example. No
industry has greater opportunity
for efficiency than farming, he de-
clared.
At the afternoon session DR.. r. A.
Pearson, president of the University
Of Maryland, made his initial ap-
pearance in this part of the State.
He promised the aid OF the univer-
sity and urged his hearers to avail
themselves of its services. A. P.
Sandles, former Secretary of Agricul-
lure of Ohio, paid his respects to the
different phases of farm relief.
The speaker appealed to his audi
biggest day in the year and to select
candidates for President and Con-
gress who will press the button OF
Muscle Shoals and provide means to
manufacture fertilizer at saving of
from SIS to $40 a ton to the farmer.
Many pills and powders" have
oeen given the farmer to increase his
redit, the speaker said, to permit
him to borrow more money, and the
,armer swallowed the sucker" bait.
What he needs is a recipe to get out
Of debt, not further in. How to re-
iuce his debt and increase his in
come is his task.
Mrs Evelyn Tobey, of Columbia
University, also spoke, her talk be-
ng on Beauty" both personal and
he home, and was OF much interest
o the women, who composed very
arge part of the audience.
At the noon hour the cafateria
.unch was in charge Of the ladies of
dopewell M e. Church.
That the menu provided was
splendid one was attested by the
LIBERAL patronage.
