Manufacturers Declare It Haa Been
Very Sucreasful In New York

(By Associated Press.)
R.OCHESTEK, N. Y.. June 1.
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.

BUENOS A1KES. June t. 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. It is pointed
out, beaure of conditions which en

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. The evi
dence which tho state helped him In
troduce and prepare is transcribed
for hlin by an expert reporter."

Interesting items contained In reso
lutions adopted at the national con
vention of the I. 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.
