ing in the women's garment industry
will be fought with union owned
shops, factories and stores by the In

This became known here today
when officials of the union announc
ed that it has a committee at work
laying the foundation for the first
group of union owned factories,
which are expected to be in opera
tion by next spring. V
i r Will Establish Factories -
These factories are to be estab
lished, according to Benjamin Schles
inger, international president,, to
demonstrate that the' workers can be
paid first-class ; wages, work less
hours and enjoy better working con
ditions than they are now getting
and reap a ''reasonable profit from
their ; product and still sell it con
siderably, under the regular market
price.;
The union proposes to sell its out-!
put to consumers through their own
Qtnroo .
. The first group of six ; factories
will be established in New York, to
gether with a number of : union
stores, union officials said. Others
will be located in Chicago and Phila
delphia. ,y - ' '
Ample funds for the factories have
beeh provided by the international
union,, Mr. Schlesinger said; and
later as more money is needed "un
ion shop and factory assessments"
will be levied to finance the project
until it is put on a paying basis, ,
Ready; for Spring Trade -
v "We expect to be turning out me
dium and high price garments for
the spring trade,", A. Baroff, secre
tary of the union said. "The first
factories will probably employ about
1,000 workers to be selected by the
union." They will pay higher wages
than are paid by employers In the
garment industry and a seven-hour
work day will be In effect, he added.
The workers now work an eight hour
day with a half hoUday on Satur
day. ' ,'
The. ...local unions o('he-L'adies'-
Garment workers, according to Mr.
Baroff, are also taking steps on their
own initiative .to defeat the high
cost of living by establishing co-operative
restaurants and stores. A
number of stores have been started
in New York and a restaurant-is be
ing operated by unions in Philadel

The Rev, Daniel G. MacKinnon,

needed reforms in modern society,
In which he urged in Btrong lan

ter sent to the presiding bishop and
council of the Episcopal church, by
the leading women of the united

so-called advance of modern society.
Among other things he said presi- i
dents of colleges, statesmen, repre
sentative physicians on nervous dis
eases, are looking to the church to
save society from being engulfed in
the immorality of the age.
Dr. MacKinnon has traveled much )
over the world, is a student of sociol-'

terial, is competent to speak, and ad
