NEW YORK, Jan. 19. There was no Indication today of any change In front, either on the part of the manu facturers or strikers as the fourth week of the garment-makers' strike began. The strikers are said to be Just as insistent as ever that their union shall be recognized, while Eu gene S. Benjamin.; president of the New York Clothing Trades Associa tion, remains firm against this con cession. ' Both" sides aver that they are well organized and financially strong enough to maintain their posi tions for 'some time to come. Two meetings to ratify the agree ment entered into Saturday between the manufacturers and tho leaders of the dress and shirtwaist branches of the garment-making industry. by which the strikers are to return to work tomorrow morning, were held today. At both there seemed to be only a half-hearted acquiescence by the workers in the plans of their leaders. The protocol affects 129 shops and close to 30,000 operatives. It is expected, however, that only about half the operatives will return. Kven if all go back, it would leave more than 100,000 workers still on strike In other branches of the garment trades. Max Pine, one of the leaders of the garment-workers, said today that the strikers, although exceedingly poor, were being supplied with food and coal, and were being held to their promise to stay out. That the hotel and restaurant-workers had not wholly abandoned their strike plans was Indicated by renewed activity on the part of Miss Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. the young organizer, who. in an address urged a new plan of attack. She declared that much of the food served was unfit for use. and suggested that any employee of a hotel of restaurant who knew of the serving of unfit food should make affidavit of his knowledge to the strike leaders. Such affidavits, she said, would be sent to the board of health and the newspapers. Miss Flynn also astonished her hear ers by coming out against the tipping of waiters, and before she was through with her speech, a unanimous vote was taken against the acceptance of grat uities if the employees could obtain a living wage from their employers. Concerning the food question in the restaurants. Miss Flynn said: "l want every waiter and every cook who knows anything about the adulteration of food, about sending back food refused by one guest to another guest. about; highly flavored sauces to disguise un fit food, to come to head quarters to make affidavits as to the rotten conditions in hotel kitchens to be sent to the board of health and to the newspapers. If guests knew one half the things you know they would not dare to go to one-half the hotels and restaurants In this city. We want to tell Mr. Capitalist what kind of a place his nice dinner comes out of. A nice cup of coffee coming out of most kitchens Is like a nice lily coming up nut of a mudholo. You may have to work there, but they have to eat out if there." CHICAGO IS TALKING STRIKE Garment Workers to lie A-Led Help Join New Yorker?. CHICAGO. Jan. 19. (Speciul.) Gar ment workers of Chicago probably will strike before the end of the week, ac cording to an announcement made at the meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor today. Delegates from the garment workers were present at the meetig. asking aid from the federation for themselve when the strike Is of ficially declared and also aid for the New York garment workers, who are now on a strlnke. and feeling for the first touches of want. The vote on the proposition to strike will be taken at a meeting to be held In H"d Carriers' Inion Hall Tuesday night, and ac cording to the announcements made by several delegates today, the garment workers are almost unnnimout in favor of Joining the New York workers in a walkout. Samuel Sax. a delegate from Garment Workers' lxok No. 1. announced that if the workers voted to strike all workers belonging to the union would be out before the end of the week. The proposition to aid the New York garment workers in alleviating the suf fering among families of the strikers was also taken up at the meeting. Mor ris Esklnd. delegate from local No. 21, nked that the federation grant cre dentials to members of the Garment Workers- Union to solicit funds among various labor organization to aid in the relief work in New York. The request aroused much criticism among the delegates, many asserting that the credentials should come from the International headquarters in New York. A motion was finally carried, however, empowering the executive committee of the Chicago Federation to issue the authorization.

'The central Idea of the pageant the creation of suffrage views among Inaugural visitors will be strengthened by this division.

SENATE DISTURBS DREAM President Tells Jewish Hearers Ameriean People Could Profit by Intensity of Spirit Man ifested by Race. NEW YORK, Jan. 19. President Taft. an over-Sunday visitor in New York, assisted In the celebration tonight of the seventieth anniversary of the Order of B'nai Brith, addressing a large, convocation. The President, who arrived late yes terday and attended the Ohio Society dinner and a dinner to Andrew D. Wbitet, former president of Cornell Uni versity, spent the night at the home of his brother, Henry W. Taft, and this morning attended the Marble Collegiate Church. The President today visited the Met ropolitan Museum of Art. whera, with Mrs. Taft. Henry W. Taft and Secretary Hilles, he. inspected with Interest the newly-installed J. P. Morgan collection of paintings and porcelains. The Presi dent was quickly recognized, and other visitors crowded so closely about the members of his party that police were called. There was no hint of disorder, however, and the police, after the first little flurry, had no difficulty in con trolling the crowd. Liberty Mast Be Taught Again. The President will leave tomorrow for New Haven to attend the Yale Cor poration meeting, returning here at night to attend the theater. He will leave shortly after midnight for Wash ington. President Taft began his address at the B'nai Brith celebration with a ref erence to the medal recently presented to him by B'nai Brith, as, he thought, undeservedly, adding: "But such honors don't come very often." Mr. Taft said the American people should profit by the Jews' example of love of liberty and love of guaranty of rights and equality, and their Intensity of spirit. "I don't like to drop into politics." he continued. "I don't seem to have been a grand success. But the American people will have to be tutored over again in lessons of liberty, and will have to be taught again the real value of the rights we now have and the re straints under which we enjoy them. Effect of Tolerance Spreads. "Something has been said of the in tolerance of other countries. Tolerance does not exist in other countries as Jn our own, but we must know that tol erance In this country will have Its beneficent effect all over the world. The attitude of the President on that subject cannot but bring about a better condition. I don't need to preach pa tience to your race. I don't need to preach persistence to you. I don't be lieve In progress over night." Turning to the topic of progress toward world peace, the President said: "I bad a dream that we are going to take a long step toward universal peace, but. after negotiating a treaty with Kngland and a treaty with France, I awoke." He -explained that through relations between this country and European nations and Interlocking treaties to fol I w-xA rst 7v J- XI- ; ' , 'r.,.. .nLJ low he had hoped a great arbitral court could be established. . Awakening Follows Dream. "That was my dream," he said. "We negotiated the first two treaties with England and France, and then I woke up. It's bound to come, however, be cause progress in this direction cannot be defeated. I hope on, in spite of this nightmare that the Senate gave me." Mr. Taft concluded with an eulogy of the Jewish character and of Jewish philanthropies, which, he said, were the most nearly perfect because the people of the race stand together that the race may live.

Representa tive Stephens, of Texas, chairman of the Indian affairs committee, said to night he hoped to conclude tomor row the investigation begun yesterday in the Osage, Oklahoma. Indian oil land lease question. Secretary Fisher denied today the declaration made at the hearing that he had given the Associated Press in correct information regarding the Un cle Sam Oil Company leases.

Leases had been disapproved, but through a misunderstanding a report had been published that the leases had been approved. This error was corrected as soon as discovered. Commissioner Abbott said the De partment would show to the commit tee that the Secretary would have acted in violation of law if he had ap proved the Uncle Sam and other affil iated oil leases for the 800,000 acres.

MANY WANT BLAZES SET Thousand or More Ask Aid One Man Tells Firebug Not to Apply Torch Until He Has Time to Remove New Piano. NEW YORK. Jan. 19. Additions to the striking revelations of the extent to which arson for profit Is practiced in this city, furnished by "Izzy the Painter," convict firebug informer, were made by him today to the Dis trict Attorney. "Izzy," who is more formally known as Isador Stein, continues to tell of fires that he made throughout the city, giving facts and circumstances with the greatest detail and accuracy, says a statement from Assistant District At torney Weller tonight. Stein, who, according to the authori ties, has confessed to setting 'more than 50 fires, told the District Attor ney that the vicinity of a fire engine house was preferred as the location for a fire, Mr. Weller's statement said, as when no alarm was turned in, It took longer for information about the fire to get to the Fire Marshal s office, giv ing time for the odor of gasoline or benzine used by the firebug to dis appear. Stein says lhat more than 1000 per sons have asked him to make fires for them since he came to this city in 1907. The statement continues: "Stein says that while standing on the street corner two or three persons each day would ask him to make a fire for them. In one case a man told Stein that he wanted to have a fire, but that he could not have it until the next week, because he wanted to move out his new piano. Accordingly the piano was moved out and Stein went ahead." 5 INVOLVED IN" FIRE FRAUDS "Arson Trust" Investigation Re veals Causes of Big Blazes. CHICAGO, Jan. 19.

NAVAL OFFICERS QUARREL Fifteen Are Wounded When Differ ence of Opinion Arises as to . Ability to Cope with Ves sels of Enemy. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 19. The government has decided to convene the national assembly Tuesday to take the Balkan situation under consideration. A serious quarrel occurred recently on the Turkish warships in the Dar danelles between officers who were anxious to fight the Greeks and others who considered that the Turkish fleet was no match for the enemy. Blows were exchanged and before the quar rel was settled 15 officers were wounded. Women Slur Cowardly Fleet.

In any case the Balkan delegates in London do not Deneve toe Porte's reply to the joint note of the powers will be such a flat refusal as was foreshadowed from Constantinople. Turks Offer Alternative. vBtprdv's dispatches reported that the Turkish government had reached a decision not to cede Adrianople or the A a ltcu n Islands, but was willing to enter into negotiations respecting these iinnrta some distance removed iroin the Dardanelles. If Turkey's answer Is nnaatinfnctorv. the allies, in deference to Europe, will ask the powers whether they have means to compel 'lurKey .o fomnW with their wishes. If not, the allies will carry out the plan already announced for resumption of tne war. In such event the allies would not recognize the undertaking consenting to an autonomous Albania, . or the promise of Servla and Montenegro to retire from the Adriatic. Triple Entente Counted On. Questioned as to the possibility in this case that Austria would employ force, the head of one of the delega tions said today: "We shall see whether the triple entente, and especially Russia, will per mit such action on the part of Austria. If we are forced to fight another war the cost of which is nearly $1,000,000 daily, we will not abandon territories already occupied unless driven out by force. That would mean a European war. "If Austria were permitted to march on Belgrade and to bombard our troops on the Adriatic, and we were crushed, we should prefer to become Austrian rather than belong to the Slav race, when our mother Russia lacks t.ie force or will to protect us." LOSSES IX SEA-FIGIIT . HEAVY Wounded From Turkish Fleet Being Taken to Constantinople. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 19. The Ministry of the Interior has issued a report of an engagement between the Turkish and Greek fleets between the islands of Tenedos and Lemnos, last ing several hours. According to this official report there were heavy losses on both sides. The Turkish fleet returned safely to the Dardanelles and the wounded are being brought to Constantinople. It is not known here whether this report refers to the engagement on Saturday or whether the engagement was renewed Sunday. Ministers Said to Oppose War. VIENNA, Jan. 19.

Meanwhile he took part In several secret conferences with financiers of National prominence. Plans for his mission were completed there Friday, it is believed, at the time the entire office force in Chicago was put to work preparing papers of various sorts that will be taken by him when he leaves on the Mauretanla Tuesday. Mr. Mayer returned to Chicago Fri day evening and immediately went into conference with his close legal asso ciates at the Blackstone HoteL The conference lasted several hours. The conference was taken up again behind closed doors early Saturday and consumed practically all of the day. Precaution was taken to prevent any of the plans from becoming public. Mr. Mayer admitted that, should the slightest Inkling of his plans become public, they might be interfered with. Difficulties Confront Mayer.
