HUNDRED GARMENT WORKERS
QUIT JOBS
Decline JCiiiployt'is ltefuscd to Grant
AVngo Increase.
More than a hundred garment work
ers employed by II. A. Scinshcitncr &
Co, located in the Pugli Building at
Fourth and Pike streets, went on a
strike Thursday after the management
of the concern had refused to grant
them a 10 per cent incicase in wages.
The demands were presented last Mon
day, it was said by Attorney Nicholas
Klein, who represents the local branch
of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
of America. Most of the strikers arc
women. They reported for work at the
regular hour, but shortly aftcrwauls
walked out of their shop. The strikers
ask for restoration of their wages to the
point where it was three years ago,
when the garment workers lost their
strike and suffered a cut of ten per cent.
Seven of the employes remained at
work, it was said.
The strikers met at 122 West Fifth
street after they had left their machines.
The meeting was addressed by Attorney
Klein and Miss Lottie Burk, organizer.
The workers decided to remain out until
they had gained their demands.
H. A. Scinsheimer, of II. A. Seins
heimer & Co , stated that he had been
asked to make increases in wages which
he could not meet.
He Described the Itannnu.
The banana has only won wide favor
in England during the past twenty years
or so. It was not unknown, however,
long before that, for E. L. Dlanchard,
the dramatist, records in his autobio
graphy, "July 7, 18G4 Stroll through
Covcnt Garden market, tasting bananas
for the first time, a vegetable sausage
tasting like marrow flavored with pineapple."
FIFTEEN GIRLS QUIT
I'Mnlilisliincnt of Soiii-Wi'iniii;
Machine Caused Action.
Because of the establishment of soap
wrapping machines in the Andrew Jcr
gens soap plant, Spring Grove avenue
and Alfred street, last Wednesday even
ing, about 15 of the girls employed as
soap wiappcrs "walked out." "It is not
a strike," said Manager Adams, Thurs
day. "The girls just (Uiit because they
thought they would not be paid as well
under the new way as they had been
under the old. They wouldn't wait for
a trial. We have 300 girls employed
here, so the departure of 15 doesn't
matter."
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Xow Itiiiining An Automobile Re
pair Shop Doing Work That
Should Go to Taxpayers.
Attorney William Thorndjkc request
ed Assistant City Solicitor Zic
lonka, last Thursday, to fdc suit enjoin
ing Safety Director Friedlandcr from
further emploing Police Corporal
Thciring and Patrolmen Fox, Bradshaw
and other officers of the Fourth District
as machinists in repairing police autos
and relieving them of duties as police
officers.
Thorndykc said they were being paid
as police officers, and to employ them
as machinists is a diversion of public
funds.
He said a lathe from the Hunt street
repair shop of the Waterworks is used
in the officers' work, and asks that suit
be filed to recover the lathe and return
it to the Waterworks.
Thorndjkc, who represents the Ma
chinists' Union, says if the Solicitor
docs not file suit, he will.

Make Foods Tastier by Using
(RISCO
L For Frying -Fot Shortening
' For Cake Making
HP HERE is real economy in the use of
Crisco.
It is wholly vegetable, the pure cream of
edible oil, having neither taste nor odor.
Crisco is a cooking fat that may be used
in all recipes calling for lard or butter.
Crisco is all shortening' and so rich that
one-fifth less of it is required.
Cakes made with Crisco at half the cost
of butter are just as rich and stay moist
and fresh longer.
Foods fried in Crisco absorb so little fat
they are unusually tasty and easy to digest.
Crisco gives a tender flakiness to pies and
shortcakes.
Ask your grocer to send you Crisco
the next time you need a cooking fat
