Cloak, Soi and Skirt Manufacturera* Protective Association, announced yesterday that I* Was willing to act with inanuf.ictur era and employees at a meeting of "stabilization." The American association came to this decision at a meeting attended by nearly all of its 900 members. The MSoet&tion makes about 50 per cent of the New York output of women's garments. No disorder was reported yesterday, although pickets representing the 55, 000 men ano* women who aro striking against th< reintroduction of piece ?work and the lengthening of hour;, b> , .their employers, began a patrol in front of the factories. With the strict iostructions cf the union leaders fresh in mind, the pickets are avoiding any contact with employees of the manu? facturers. The settlement committee of the .union announced that 700 applications 'to resume operations had been re? ceived from employers, 7norc than a I hundred of which had been sent to the i general committee in Beethoven Hal! I jtfor investiration and report. * The meeting of the American Cloak and Suit Association wrs held in Met? ropolitan Avditorium, Madison Avenue and Twenty-fourth Street. Tt began )at 1 o'clock and lasted four hour.?. [ After the situation had bren thor? oughly canvassed, resolutions were adopted indorsing the position tsken by the executive boar 1 Monday evening. ?This stated thaf. the American Associa ' tion had no quarrel with either the '?union or the Protective Association, although the strike had made their union agreements ineffective. "The American Association is willing : to sit around the council tab e with ijell of the parties concerned," Charles] iM. Sussman spokesman, said, "in or-] der to re-establish satisfactory con? ditions in the trade." i Impartially Pledged ?lt was also said that the American Association, with a desire to stabilize ?trade conditions, would call together ?ali of the factories directly interested. " It was reported that the only desire I was to get manufacturing under way ; agai;i, and that its good offices would I bo extended impartially. It is inferred that a preliminary meeting of the manufacturers will be held and that an official announcement of their desires will be forwarded to the union. The corridor loading to the seven rooms of the union's settlement c^n. mittee in the Continental wire crowded With manufacturers yesterday. With each application a bond of from $500 to $1,000 is filed as security that no work will be done for the Protective Association or the union agreement vio? lated. Among the applicants were manufac? turers operating from thirty to a hun? dred machines, J. Rubin, vice-chairman Of the committee, said. It is expected ? that 3,000 to 4.000 factories will be able to resume next Monday. Harry Wander, chairman cf the j picket committee in Arlington Hall, | 23 St. Mark's Place, recruited a force Of 15.000 for picket duty yesterday. - They are relieved every two or three hours.

Fifth Avenue at 47th Street and 4 Maiden Lattc said ne would speak every day until he had addressed all of the strikers. "Once having tasted freedom under the week-work system and the forty-; four hour week,*' Mr. Schlesinger said, "the workers wi'.l never return to the, old slavery of long hours and piece-; work any "moro than Russia will re? instate the czar.?. Unless the employ- ; ers realize this thoy will ruin the i industry." Mr. Schlesinger referred to an offer of financial backing from a banking in? stitution, and said that if the $3,000, 000 now in hand became exhausted he would offer "liberty bonds" to the pub? lic, running for one year at 4V? per cent, with the good will of the unions as security. He said he could sell "a million of them." Both Issue Statements Each side issued two sets of state? ments yesterday. A. E. Lefcourt, of th? Manufacturers' Protective Associa 1 on, first asked if President Schles inger could deny two assertions?that! tin? Workers could make more out of; piecework, and that the consumer could: .save from l'"> t.< '13 1-3 per cent. He re- j fused to give the names of the fac? to i i i..-; he asserted were operating be? cause, he said, a worker who refused to strike was killed in union headquarters in the 1810 strike. "I noted wy.th a groat deal of inter? est Mr. Scl singers statement about issuing 'liberty bonds to raise funds for this strike. I want to recall to the public that when'America was at war and every or.o was purchasing gov? ernment Liberty Bonds to their fullest extent, Mr. Schlesingers associates came out flat-footed in public speeches and foreign language newspapers, ad? vising every member of the Interna? tional Upion not to buy the bonds." In reply to these charges, Mr. Schle? singer said that the organization bought half a million dollars worth of Liberty bonds and that tho workers bought millions more. He said that the union conviction was that some one in the employ of the manufacturer-* was responsible for the death of the man Lillcd at their headquarters, and that a union man was freed of the charge. He added, concerning costs to the consi m i : "According to facts known to the en? tire cloak trade, a garment sold for $40 by the retailer ?3 manufactured and sold to him for ?2S. The cost of labor on such garment amounts to about one quarter of the wholesale price, or $7. Reducing tho worker's pay would obvi? ously have but little effect on the price o( the garment to the public. The pub? lic will get garments at attractive prices only when the retailers and manufacturers will content themselves with legitimate profits." Two civic organizations, the Women's City Club, by" Mrs. Grace H. Childs. chairman of tho committee on industry, and the Association of Reformed Rabbis, by Rabbi Samuel Schulman, wrote letters to President Schlesinger yesterday offering their services as mediator's. Rabbi Schulman said he had also written to the employers. 1922 Budget Received By Board of Aldermen The Board of Aldermen at its reg? ular meeting yesterday received the budget for 10215, as passed by the Board of Estimate. It was referred to the Committee on Finance, of which Alderman Frank A. Cunningham) of Brooklyn, is chairman. The board has twenty days in which to report on the budget and may decrease the amounts of the various appropriations, but may not increase them. The total amount of tho budget aa passed by the Board of Estimate is $860,610,524. After passing the Board of Aldermen it goes to the Mayor, who lias until December 25 to approve or veto the action of the aldermen. P. H. La Guardia, President of the Board of Aldermen; Alderman William F. Col?ns, majority leader, and Alder? man Gustave Ferrand, minority leader by request, yesterday introduced a resolution changing the name of the Williamsburg Bridge to Theodore Roosevelt Bridge. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Public Thoroughfares. A resolution introduced by Alder? man B. C. Bladcck and the other So? cialist aldermen protesting against tho ''unfair and unjust actioji of tha cloak manufacturers" and requesting the Mayor "to accord tho worker?; in the cloak industry al! moral support and all necessary protection'' was referred to the Committee on Rules after Alder? man Charles J. McManus had objected to immediate consideration. After passing resolutions on the death of Justice Arnon L. Squires, of the Second Judicial Department, a for? mer alderman, the board adjourned.

With a deadlock in tho negotiation? between the government and Ulster* Itos, owing to the refusal of tho let? ter to confer further until th? baaie put forward by the government is with? drawn, the great question has been how to pick up the broken thread of thf negotiations.

In the mean time while the gov I ornnicht felt bound to return a fiat | rejection to the latest ultimatum of j Ulster it is ready to consider Ulster's j practical objections to il united Ire I land.
