Collective bargaining Is the method adopted "by the clothing Industry In Rochester to solve Its , labor prob lems. Manufacturers declare that It haa been so successful here that the National Industrial Federation of Clothing mauuiaciuiecs has -been formed to deal with a national or ganization of the workers. ' In a time when strikes have been t'equcnl In other lnduairlea there has been peace In tills Industry here, except in one plant which is not a party to the agreement between the employers and workers. Shoe manufacturers of Rochester have adorned tho plan and ended a strike by an agreement similar to that In the clothing trade. Under theso agreements the strike and lockout are beltoved to have been eliminated and the open shop pro vails. The union relinquished its claim for a closed shop. One of the labor managers, representing tho employers, Knys that the union suf fered no loss by doing so but that on the contrary the number of clothing workers organized has increased from 60 per cent of the total em ployed to 90 or 95 per cent. As the collective bargaining plan operates here, the more general agreements between tho workers and employers are made by a local joint board, composed of representatives of the clothing manufacturers and the workers. Working conditions are formulated by a labor adjustment nanrd composed of representatives of both sides. Its decisions become the laws of the Industry. Appeals can bo taken to a court presided over by an linpartinl judge, whoso decisions are accepted by both sides as final. In the shops labor managers rep resent the employer and shop chair men the unions. The manufacturers have their price commodities and time-study men and the unions re lain their local business agents. The plan had lis conception as the result of a threat of the workers to go on strike. In Its adoption the manufacturers obtained the advlco of Dr. Mover Jacobstuln, of the Uni versity of llochester. who has been teaching methods of servico management.

Al though the agreement on the part ot the British government to pay off the 150,000.000 owed by Argentina to United States bankers payable May 15. has been hailed here ae "an act of friendship," official publicity has not yet been given to the under standing in banking circles that the agreement was only a conditional part of an Ingenious financial ar rangement which enables Great Hritain to pay her own hundred mil lion dollar debt to Argentina with out sending to this country a single cent. Not only is this r,0.000,C00 to be credited by Argentina against Great Britain's obligation, but the regaining 130,000,000 aftor being renewed. Is to be gradually extin guished through an arrangement whereby Great Britain for a certain period pays in Indon tho Interest on the principal part of Argentina's debt, bankers have learned. Thus far the Argentine govern ment, which was unable to get a renewal of the loan tn the United States, has made public only the fact that Great Britain has agreed to take raro of the obligation in behalf of Argentina and "La Epoca," the gov ernment organ has praised the trans action as an evidence of Great Brit- lan's friendship to Argon!na and of great promise ror tne future rela tions ot th" two countries. Bankers say there la no doubt hut lliat the payment by brent Britain of Argentina s debt hns greatly in creased the prestige of the British in this country and hns been corres pondingly detrimental to that of the United States but call attention the facf that the transaelen Is not without Its advantage to Great Brit r.in also. "I regret It very much," said on Argentine Lanker to The Associate 1 f ress correspondent, "but I fear the failure of the American bankers to renew our loan and tho fact that Croat Britain has stepped Into tilt, breach and paid It, mean s loss of economic good will toward the Uni ted Statos. While the complete tansactlon is a good business deal for Great Britain, the fuct stands n:l In public opinion that the British did what the Americans would not. We in financial circles understand that money is badly noeded for do mestic purposes In the United Sta'os. Noverthelefs. Brltnln and America i re represented as waging a commer- e-nl contest for trade In Argentina. The economic effect of the transac tion In favor of British prestige Is e. bvlous." As told In local hanking circles, fhe best terms that Finance Minister Palaborry could get from the Ameri crn bankers on his recent trip to the United States was a renewal of the Si.0,000,000 for five years st 7 per rent, the bankers asking delivery of the new bonds at 92 which would have been equivalent to an Interest of 914 per cent. Tho maturing loan was at. fi per cent. Turning to tho British govern ment through a prominent Anglo Argentine Mianker, the minister wai r.ble to get a loan of $".0,000,000 at P per cent to pay off the Americans, 'ihis he was able to do.

Some Objections to Kansas Law (By Associated Press.) WICHITA. anK., June 1. That a concerted plan by those opposing the new Kansas Industrial law exists tt elect a legislature which will repeal the law at the next general session in 1921, was the declaration of Judge William L. Muggins, presiding Judge of the court, In an address be fore the Kansas Bankers' association convention here. Judge Huggins pleaded that the law be given a "fair chance." Uo said tho operation of the new law thus far has been very satisfac tory. "The legit-la! tire eieated here n tribunal In which justice is adminis tered without money and without price." continued the speaker. "The poorest man In Kansas, if he la en gaged In any of the essential Indus tries named in the law, may at any time como Into this court and make his complaint known. The state pro vides him with a lawyer who will prepare his case for him without charge It provides hlin with expert accouiiiania una engineers ana trained exnmlners who will investi gate his case for hlin without charge. "If the court has rendered Its de cision, the laborer Is dissatisfied, ho may take the matter before the su preme court of Kansas.

W. W. In Chicago, May 10 to IB. - The resolutions fell into the hands ot federal agents here today. A complete copy or the minutes or the national convention was seised by the police In a raid on an embryo district I. W. W. headquarters here last night. The convention was held behind locked doors and the dele gates were said to have entered and left Chicago secretly. Many names of delegates are In the hands of the federal officers and a clean-up of the organization In tho northweat has received great Impetus by the seizure. Measure Viewed aa Defense. Resolution No. 42. pertaining to the general strike, reads: "Whereas, there Is a constant demand bn the I. W. W. for legal defense, some of our members being arrested almost dally, and whereas, there Is a differ ence of opinion among some of our members about legal defense: there fore be It resolved that we. the reso lutions committee of the I. W. W. convention, urge upon the member ship of the I. W. W. to speed np the work of organization In order that wo may be able to use the general strike to open tho jail doors and give our fellow workers back their free dom." The resolution was adopted." The nntlonal convention appeared tn be somewhat concerned on the hlch cost of legal defense and an other resolution was adopted to ob tain tho "best legal talent possible for the least expenditure." A reso lution to Increase the dues of the or ganization failed, but It was decided to submit It to a referendum of the different I. W. W. affiliations. The resolution urging more action In the harvest Holds la the result of a re port by a committee demanding ac tion on the matter of class war pris oners. Onranlzation Head Cited. Tho resolution urges all delegates to lnpress on their locals upon re turning to their homes the need to thoroughly organize tor the work of culling out the harvest hands, espe cially In the grain fields ot the cen tral nnd northwest states. Tho minutes show that a press ngent was engaged and that he was on hand to assemble data on the business of the convention for pub lication of certain parts of the con vention's actions. The assets of Ihe organization were shown to bo approximately 13,000.- 000. with expenditures of 1247.000 during 1919. Tho assets consisted mainly ot foreign language news- papers.
