You won't believe it, gentlemen

worse than the first. I would rather
have had the house fall on him

And 1t all happened apparently
without a harsh word being spoken.
The negotiations had been going
on for some months before the ami
cable agreement was reached on all
details. During all this time there
never was any talk of strike. Not
only that but there was no occasion
to use the impartial machinery for
the settlement of disputes which has
existed for many years in this in
dustry. There was no need for ar
bitrators.
"No Increase in Prices"
And furthermore, according to a
statement of David Drechsler, at
torney for the manufacturers:
There will be no increase in the
retail prices Of mems and boys
clothing as result Of this new
agreement"
You might like to know the names
of some of the industrial statesmen
who are responsible for these strange
happenings. Raymond Reiss, presi-
dent of the manufacturers associa-
ton, and Victor Riesenfeld, chair
man of their labor committee,
headed a group of nine negotiators.
A similar group, representing the
workers, was headed by Sidney Hill
man, president of Amalgamated.
These gentlemen probably find
their accomplishment less startling
than you and I do. Their organiza-
tions have long record of bargain
Ing IN good faith-and good temper
Since 1921 there has been no general
strike or lockout in the mems cloth
Ing industry.
Increase Not All in Wages.
The 20 to 81 per cent increase in
compensation provided by the new
contract is not all in wages. The
general wage increase is Is cents an
hour, with increases up to 25 per
cent on certain classes of work. In
addition the workers are granted six
holidays with pay and the payment
into a new old-age retirement fund
OF 3 per cent of the weekly payroll
This payment is by the employers
and the pension may be claimed by
employees retiring at IS.
The contract continues the fol-
lowing insurance benefits, provided
by the employers:
A $500 death benefit: So and s11
weekly sick and accident benefits
for 13 weeks in any one year for
any single accident or illness: SIS a
iav hoSpit O 1i1o tio,, for ,,,, fo 81 lo,,-
in any one year, plus S25 for Incl
dental hospital expenses, and a s5C
maternity benefit.
The president of Amalgamated
when the agreement had been signed
made this statement: ALSO hearten-
ing is the general and ver-growing
acceptance by the industry of the
principle that employers have an
obligation to men and women who
work Loyalty and well, beyond the
actual amount put in the pay en-

China Circles
BY SPENCER MOOSA

CHUNGKING, Oct. 81 The
United States was lterna tie y
praised and censured in Chinese
political circles today.
A Communist spokesman charged
that America was interfering in
Chinese internal affairs and as
serted that any future turn in
events in the troubled nation would
partly, at least, depend on the
amount of aid given by the United
States to the Central Government.
But, the Central Government
press here gave top play to Presi-
dent Humans speech which was
hailed by Tekmgao as sending
american isolationism to the
grave" and reaffirming the Ameri-
can foreign policy which had
never run counter to justice"
The World Daily News charac-
terized the talk as offering relief
to peace loving people and serving
warning to big DULLES"
Non Communist quarters said
they feared the Communists might
deliberately provoke an incident"
with American Marines in North
China, where a Marine officer de-
scribed his garison's position as
walking tight rope"
