By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 21.-The
Amalgamated Clothing workers Of
America today characterized the
American Federation of Labor's pro-
posal to boycott goods bearing the
Amalgsmated label as an act Of utter
irresponsibility" that had done
service to the few sweat-shoppers still
remaining in the industry"
The boycott was voted at the fed
Grafton convention in Tampa, Fla,
yesterday after the organizations Ex-
ecutive Council indorsed the United
Garment Workers in preference to
the Amalgamated.
The Amalgamated asserted today 1t
had contracts with manufacturers Of
IS per cent of the national mems
clothing output, while the United rep
resented almost exclusively" overall
manufacturers.
IF the delegates to the convention
had carried out their boycott threats
on the spot" statement issued by
the Amalgamated group said, most
of them would have left the hall stark
naked. - Surely they do not ex-
pect $4,000, 900 American males to do
likewise"

The Social Security Board and the
Post Once Department last night
were preparing for the monumental
task of actually enrolling 26,0oo,0oo
wage-earners for the old-age bene-
fits that become payable on January
/, 1912, to those reaching IS, under
the social security act.
With yesterday the deadline for re-
turn to all local post ofiices OF en-
ployers' applications, the first step was
completed for sending out through
the postal service on Tuesday the ap-
plications to the employees themselves.
Each of these latter. which are brief
in form, are being accompanied by
pamphlets which explain the benefit
plan. They are to be returned to the
post ONCE where they originated by
December S, and then will come the
final step-giving the worker the num-
ber under which his account will be
carried on and forwarding his appli-
cation to Baltimore where the records
of the Social Security Board are to be
maintained.

MUTUAL AID URGED
|0N BUSINESS, u S.
c. OF c. DisavoWs Interest
in Partisanship-State
Pacts Proposed.
By tie 4 ssocieted Press.

By tie associated Press.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States gave new impetus yes
terday to the poet-election talk OF
business cooperating with the Gov
ernment, but at the same time as
serted that business has the right to
expect cooperation from the Govern
| ment"
Disavowing any interest in partisan
politics, the chamber, which has crit
icized some New Deal policies, said
in its periodical Washington Review:
The Government of the United
States, as government, is entitled to
the support and cooperation of its
citizenship. That rule Is universal.
The Government also is entitled
to the expression Of honest criticism,
based upon facts and experience, re-
garding any steps that it may propose.
Business, too, has the right to ex-
pect cooperation from the Govern
ment."
Business Consensus Is Aim.
The chamber added its objective
| was TO arrive, as nearly as possible,
at a consensus of business opinion
and to bring its conclusions to the
| attention of those administering the
affairs of government and to the pub
lie"
The general expression of chamber
policy was the latest Of a number
of statements stressing cooperation
which have been issued in business
and administration quarters since the
election. One such. urging industry to
give a fair share" of jobs to older
workers and to unskilled labor. was
made by President Roosevelt himself.
Publication Of the Washington Re.
view followed approval by the Cham
ber of Commerce directors of a COM
mittee report suggesting that business
men carefully survey the possibilities
of regulating industry through State
compacts.
The report said such regulation as
that over electric utilities, milk pro-
duction, use of natural resources and
the like might be accomplished by
agreements among States with SINH
lar interests
The agreements would be subject
TO approval by Congress. the report
said, thus assuring that States would
deal with regulatory matters in way
consistent with national interest"
Respect for States Powers.
Through the use of compacts
among States" it added, there would
be respect for the constitutional
reservation to the States Of all powers
not expressly granted to the Federal
Government, with the practical effect
the courts, in reviewing compacts,
could take a more liberal view than
in constituting legislation purporting
TO be based upon limited Federal
powers"
Discussing specific economic ques-
tions, the Washington Review said
bills to provide a six-hour day for
railroad workers, to limit train
lengths, and provide full crews, would
seriously interfere with responsible
ties of railroad management" and add
5000, ,000, 900 to the annual cost OF
railroad operations.
On other issues it cited a state
ment by the International Chamber
Of Commerce on the beneficial
aspects" of the tri-power monetary
agreement, and SAID that corporations
ARE encountering many difficulties in
comprehending" possible effects of the
new Federal tax on undistributed
/ profits.

allowed ticket holders. There VIII be other cheap fares and excurBions.
 A feature Of the raiiroads' bid for pas- sengers surprising tu Americans is the cooperation with ship and air planes. Some tickets are good on any of these carriers ct the passengers will. The planes 90 included operate only between points within the British Isles.
 The motor coaches 90 much patronized by tourists seem to be outside this par ticular combination. Automobiles do not offer the same degree of competition to other transportation that they do in the United States Bicycles are widely used, but the railroads do themselves g good turn by carrying both rider ad bicycle to the country for weekends and holidays.
 The British railroads began making special rates and attractive offers last summer. It is because the results were so satisfactory that they are continued and extended this year. Our own transporta- ton system might study England's to advantage.
