?The strike of 100,000 craftsmen in
the building trades throughout the

whom the walkout is directed. It wan
in or?: i ' > cut off this source of relief
from tl tors involved that this
new step will be taken by the carpen?
ters. The action will throw out sev?
eral more thousand workers in addition
to the i 0,000 affected by the original
order.
Henry J. Skeffington, one of the two
mediators sent here by the Department
of l.aber. stated that, despite the prep?
arations being made by both sides for
a long fight, a speedy settlement will
be effected, ?. ither by the War Labor
Board or by the contestants them?
selves. He took this view because of
the interest taken in the affair by the
government and the public. Then,

and employers as the strike progress?

portant bearing on a quick settlement
of the ,4'a;'? r.
Employer Delegates Lacked Authority
Efforts to induce the employers to
agree to arbitration of the con?
troversy, he said, proved unavailing,
because o: the contention by four
rs of the builder's association,
wil ' ?? conferred, that they
aid nol nave the necessary authority
1er a decision, and that the
question would have to be settled at

of arbitration, although the members

Mr. Skeffington, before his return

Sp, rial Correspondence
B?TTE, Mont.. Fob. 16. The back?
bone of the strike here was broken last
night when the hoisting engineers of
the mines voted by a majority of two
to one not to join the walkout and the
electricians reversed themselves and
voted to return to work. It is
believed that the collapse of the strike
is now a matter of a few days. Tho
streetcars resumed operation yester?
day afternoon.
President Thomas Campbell, of the
Miners' Union, declared to-night that
the metal mino workers had never
declared a strike despite the fact that
some members cf their union joined
hands with the I. \V. W. and struck.
Brigadier General Frank B. Watson,
commander of the 26th Infantry
Brigade of the 13th Division, arrived
here last night, and Major General .1.
S. Morrison, commander of the De?
partment of the West, left the city for
the Coast.
It is believed that the deportations
of a number of aliens is imminent.
Seattle Shipyards
To Open Wednesday
At Old Wage Scale
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 16. ?Seat?
tle's shipyards will resume operations
next Wednesday, after having: been idle
since 25,000 metal trades workers
walked out January -1 on a strike for
higher wages. Announcement to this
effect was made to-night by the ship
y.'U'el owners.
The workers will be (employed at the
yard (rates at the rate of pay that
was in force when they quit.
Payments to Idle
Blamed for Labor
Unrest in Britain
Wealthy Who Wore in War
Work Take Advantage of
Insurance P?an, Causing
Discontent Among Poor
A recently discharged American avi?
ator who has just returned here from
England declares that more than 50
per cent of Great Britain's workers are
either idle or on strike, and the per?
centage is daily growing larger. The
situation, he says, has arisen out of
the government's plan of dealing with
unemployment following the cessation
of hosilities.
Shortly after the armistice was
: signed the British government an
i nounced its unemployment insurance
scheme. This consisted of a series of
weekly payments to all munition and
governmental employes intended to
carry them over the transitional pe?
riod while changing from one employ
mi ut t" another.
The administration of this scheme
has proved to be the direct cause of
the t-triko epidemic now sweeping over
the Britisn Isle;..
The policy adopted by the British
I government is as follows:
All men engaged in munition facto?
ries, or employed in civilian capacity
under the government were guaranteed
thirteen weeks' unemployment insur?
ance at the rato ?if tw'inty-nine shill?
ings a week. These payments could be
intermittent and could be spread
over a period of six months
after ceasing war work. The only
condition was that the man must be
arged from his employment.
Women Cared For, Too
Ail women engaged in similar work
obtained the same conditions except
the rate of pay durinp unemployment
was twenty-five shillings.
Soldiers and women ?lischarged from
the army, navy and auxiliary services
I received similar conditions except the
insurance extended over a period of
one year.
Tho administration of this scheme
was placed in the hand- of the Board
of Trade mid ahndled directly by the
government labor exchanges.
Difficulties that precipitated the
strikes arc due to the fact that the
comparatively wealthy persons have
been drawing these payments while
bona fide labor has been denied the
privilege.
The Labor I'nions say that, men who
have- patriotically gone back to their
pre-war employment rather than loaf
a', the government's expense have
been unfairly treated. They point out
that several employers, taking advan?
tage of the clause that no man who
qu I his employment, voluntarily is
entitled to unemployment insurance,
i ave lowered the men's wages to a
point where they are receiving only the
same pay as men who are not work?
ing.
Wealthy Women Accused
Another point of grievance with the
Labor Unions is the fact that hun?
dred, i,i wealthy women who took on
erica! work under the government
during the war are drawing this un?
employment money every week. These
women, they say, go c-vory week to the
labor exchanges and register as "do
? servants" to obtain the week?
ly payments, but refuse every posi?
tion oil", red.
The women of Great Britain have re?
fused, practically en masse, to enter
.'',:' tic service: or any other employ?
ment that, pays less than the- govorn
menl insurance Bcheme. This has re?
acted directly upon the male popu
.:.-.' e,!,. an?! has seriously affected Brit?
ish industries winch rely chiefly upon
female labor.
Those Who Waited Benefited
The greatest grievance as voiced by
the labor unions arises from the
workers who transferred to other em?
ployment before the government
scheme was announced. These men
and women find themselves working
for less wages than their fellows who
waited.
While the workers who have been
discharged as a result of cancellation
of war contracts are compelled to re?
gister every day at the labor ????
changes they are not compelled to ac?
cent any employment. Should they ac
cept the employment offered they
waive ail unemployment insurance un?
til 'hey are again discharged.
It. is '(,:>; phase of the scheme that,
has produced the unemployment,
Btrikea and stagnation of industry in
, Great Bi itain, it is charged.

Paterson Silk Mills
Open To-day Under
5-Dav Week Terms
? 1 7,000 Workers Go Back to
105 Factories After Two
Weeks' Strike; Await
Final Decision on Hours
-
PATERSON, N. .T., Feb. 16.?After
; two weeks of idleness, during which
| time the most orderly strike in the
history of Paterson took place, 17,000
j operatives employed in the city's 405
I silk mills will go back to work to-mor?
row morning. Their time of starting
| will be at 7:30 o'clock, a half hour
later than the time in force before the
strike, and there will be no work on
Saturday.
Under the agreement to abide by the
decision of the War Board, the mills
will be operated forty-two and a half
hours a week, eight and a half hours
a day for live days and a whole holi?
day on Saturday.
These hours were decided by the
National War Labor Board and will be
in force temporarily until that body
makes a final settlement of hours,
which will be within two months. Both
the manufacturers and workers are de?
sirous of tho federal board making a
final permanent decision that will re?
sult in a standardization of hours in
the silk industry throughout the
country.
Estimates by both manufacturers and
labor leaders to-nitfht indicated that
at least StO per cent of the workers
would report to the mills to-morrow
morning.
The I. W. W. and the. W. I. I. U.
arc making efforts to prevent a gen?
eral return of the workers to the
mills, but inasmuch as their combined
membership is less than 1,000 of the
17,000 strikers, little fear is felt of
their influence in the situation. The
former organization announced yester?
day that its workers accept the forty
two and a half hours a week only on
condition that they be permitted to
work eight hours for five days and
two and a half hours on Saturdays.
They declare that they will not report
to work before 8 o'clock.
Henry J. Tynan, chairman of the
conference committee, which is coin
pos?d of manufacturers and workers,
said to-night that a wrong impression
had been made regarding the new
working hours for employes. There
is no forty-two and one-half-hour
week, he said, the only agreement be
ing that a part time schedule shall
1 obtain pending negotiations with the
I War Labor Board. It has been agreed
to give the workers at least that much
timo each week.
Latvrence Police Break
lip ^Comrades'''' Welcome
LAWRENCE, Mass., Feb. 10. -
Twenty men calling themselves "Com?
rades of the World" arrived here to?
day and were met by large numbers of
strikers from the textile mills. The
police department had received infor?
mation of the expected arrival of the
"comrades," and reserves sent to the
railway station broke up a parade
formed on the sidewalk to escort the
visitors to a hall.
Bernard M. Allen, an instructor at
Phillips-Andover Academy, who was
with the strikers, was chased by the
police to the postoffice, where he
evaded his pursuers by running uyi
the steps, through the building ami
out of a back door. Mr. Allen wore in
his hat a card upon which the figures
"5')-48" were conspicuously displayed.
This is the emblem adopted by the
strikers to symbolize their demand
for a -l^-hour week with 54 hours' pay.
Boatmen Criticise Taft
Say lie Disparaged Demands
Before War Labor l?oard
Thomas L. Delahunty, president of
the Marine Workers' Affiliation, and
William A. Maher, vice-president, is?
sued a statement yesterday reviewing
1he affiliation's grievances against the
boat owners and criticising William
Howard Taft for his attitude when the
dispute was referred to the Na?
tional War Labor Board. The de?
mands of the marine workers will be
submitted to-day to V. Everit Macy,
the umpire, selected.
The two officers of the affiliation
express anxiety on two grounds only.
One is that Mr. Macy, who is to sail
for Europe in a ?ew days, may not
have time to go into the case fully.
The other is "that our case has been
seriously prejudiced and injured by
the attitude assumed bv William How?
ard Taft."
They complain that Mr. Taft devoted
only u few minutes to the case ?n Chi
cii(,'o. Before he left the session of
the labor board, they continue, he put
into the record "an entirely unfair
statment in which he disparaged out
demand for the eight-hour day."
5,000 Girls to Strike
Five thousand (,-irl makers of ki
! monos and mother hubbards voted yes?
terday to strike for an increase of
wages, a 44-hour week and full rec?
ognition of their union, which is a
branch of the Ladies (?armen* Workers'
Union. After the strike vote was an?
nounced, it was said circulars in six
languages would be issued to-day call?
ing for a walkout.
Nearly ",000 members of the White
floods Workers' Union, it was also an?
nounced, had empowered union ofli
j cials to call a strike in that branch of
i the clothing industry to force a 41
| hour week, and a 25 per cent, increase
in pay for piece work.

Hospital Internes Balk
On Beef and Cabbage
SEVENTEEN internos at the
Kings County Hospital, at 541 J
Clarkson Street, failed to appear ;
at. breakfast, luncheon, dinner or j
midnight supper at the hospital j
Saturday. Instead they gorged !
themselves at a restaurant, con- i
suming among them $13.70 worth i
of food. They declared their in
tcr.tion of presenting a bill for this ;
amount to the hospital, saying
they no longer could eat frank?
furters, corned beef and cabbage
and bread and milk in dismal pro?
cession.
They declared they were going :
to continue their riotous method of |
life, guzzling cup custards and
cheese cake to their hearts' con- '
tent until the bill of fare at the
hospital was amended. Rut yes?
terday none of them appeared at
the restaurant, and hospital au?
thorities declined to say whether
the prodigal sons had returned to
the institutional husks. The only
person at the hospital who offered
any explanation of the situation
was Dr. Price, the assistant super?
intendent.
"Corned beef and cabbage is a ;
wholesome dish," was Dr. Price's
explanation, "and bread and milk ?
is most nutritious."
Belter Offiee Conditions
For Girls Is Aim of Bill
State Senator Black Sponsors
Measure to Regulate Hours
and Sanitation
"What's the matter with giving the
American girl some letjislative protec?
tion'.' Why isn't it just as important
for the American trirl in our offices to
have short hours and wholesome work?
ing conditions as it is for the foreign
born factory girl to have such protec?
tion ?"
In this statement State Senator
Loring M. Black, jr., who will intro?
duce the office, workers' bill in the
Legislature to-night, calls attention to
the fact that the present labor laws of
the state regulating the hours and
working conditions of women must be
extended to cover office workers.
The bill which Senator Flack will in?
troduce was drawn up by women office
workers, and is one of six bills in?
cluded in the woman's programme
which the Women's Joint Legislative
conference expects to have passed at
I this session of the Legislature. Wil
] fred E. Youker will sponsor the bill in
I the Assembly.
The bill prohibits night work after
10 o'clock, makes a one-day rest in
! seven compulsory, limits the number
, of hours the pirls can be worked at
j most, to nine a day and brings office
' buildings under the same sanitary
; regulations as stores and factories.
! Professional offices are except?e! from
1 the provisions of this bill because of
? the irregular conditions of work in
1 professional occupations.
"I was amazed when ? first learned
? that, our labor laws did not protect
! office workers," said Senator Black.
j "Like most people, I imagined that
| office work was an ideal occupation for
women. Then 1 read a report of the
State Industrial Commission and found
i conditions generally to be quite the
reverse. Investigations showed that in
; many offices the girls arc worked at
I night and frequently on Sundays, and
that the sanitary condition- are so bad
i as to be a menace to health."
Rattigan Out Hunting
Jobs for Democrats
ALBANY, Feb. lfi. With an eye to
patronage, which Democrats through?
out the state are becoming more and
moro insistent, on, Charles F. Ratti
gan, State Superintendent of Frisons,
left Albany to-night to visit the vari?
ous state prisons. Governor Smith has
demanded that an investigation of the
i prisons be made by the. Superintend
| ent, but Mr. Rattigan's present trip
I will be to make a preliminary s uric y
| to see what can be done to satisfy the
clamoring of upstate Democratic lra?l
ers for prison jobs now held by Re?
publicans, lie has had several long
talks with the Governor on the subject.
The Democrats have put forward
candidates for the jobs of both War?
den W. J. Homer, of Great. Meadow
prisons, and John B. Twombley, of
Clinton. Homer, who is a Republican,
undoubtedly will po. but Twombley
will be saved through the cJrorts of
former Lieutenant Governor Thomas
F. Conway, Democratic boss of Clinton
County. Twombley is a Democrat, but
was a persona non grata with the
present Administration until Conway
interceded for him. Although there
had been a belief that the record of
Warden William 11. .Mover, of ?'sing
Sing, would save him. there is little
doubt now that he is slated to look
for another ?ob. Warden Harry R.
Kidney, of Auburn, will be succeeded
by Colonel Edgar S. Jennings, who
was in France, in case Jennings wants
his old job back.
Other morsels of prison patronage'
which job-hungry Democrats are look?
ing for, are General Frison Industrial
Agent, $4,000 a year4, Confidential
Agent, $3,000, and Transfer Clerk,
$2,400. These ji b", arc all now vacant
by the resignations of their Republi?
can incumbents.
Rattigan's prison trip undoubtedly
will result in Democratic successors to
Harry Mitchell, of Odcna. Industrial
Agent, at Clinton; Charles J. Mackey
and Frank Olsen, who hold the same
jobs at Auburn and Sing Snip respect?
ively. Outside of laborers most of the
other prison jobs are protected by ci vil
service. All the prison patronage
Democrats can secure will amount to
only about $40,000. Hut the Demo?
cratic leaders have been so determined
in their demands that not even this
is to be overlooked.
