Hotel Kitchens.
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.

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

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.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. 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. Upon in
vestigation it developed today that the
Information given out at the Interior
Department today was correct. 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.

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."

Ability to Cope with Ves

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.
Trouhle has arisen through the cir
culation of a manifesto signed "The

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

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.

that, should opportunity arise, financial
pressure would be brought to bear on
the Czar to induce him to mitigate In
some way tlie harsh laws which not
only oppress the Jews of Russia, but
offend Jews of other nations whenever
business or sentiment makes it desir

For several days Mr.. Mayer was in
Washington, presumably to watch the
progress of the Investigation by the

Financiers In Conferences.
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.
Some slight idea of the difficulties
that confront Mr. Mayer, if his mission
to Russia concerns laws regarding the
Jews, may be gained from the fact that
