New York. Feb 5 ? The first
month * strike by the garment work
ers has cost the manufacturers thir
ty million dollars and the strike Is
not settled yet. The strikers are
spending their relief funds rapidly,
but contributions are coming in to
their aid from the unions through
out the country. Samuel Gompers
is directing the operations of the
strikers and adding the powerful in
fluences of the American Federation
of Labor to keep the unemployed
from starvation until a settlement
can be reached.
It Is believed that the stockhold
ers of the big companies will de
mand their dividends, and if the
managers do not arrive at a settle
ment soon, some change will be
forced or compromise arrived at
whereby tbe clothing Industry of
the country will no longer be tied
up. The recent visit and encourage
ment of Theodore Roosevelt has had
a cheering effect on the strikers,
and through his exertions, much
needed aid aas come into the treas
ury of the garment workers When
he was here be said that factory
conditions were as bad as they
well could be, and that the sweat
shop conditions were horrible in
the extreme. That present condi
tions surrounding the garment work
era were a shame and a blot upon
the nation and that the privations
under which these people were com
pelled to work and live was crush
ing out tho future motherhood of
the country.

HOOKING AX1? EVKING
Jefferson City, Feb 5 ? A Dill
was today introduced into the Mis
souri legislature prohibiting women
from wearing buttons on the backs
o f their dresses unless said buttons
were as large as a dollar. The hon
orable gentleman who introduced th
blU supported its adoption in a
speech wherein he said that the
hook and eye and the invisible de
vices that women had adopted of
late years were responsible for
much of the present domestic infeli
city, and that he could trace num
erous divorce evils from the de
mands of married women upon their
husbands to fasten up their dresses
He had known women to go to
their neighbors for the purpose of
securing aid when dressing, be
cause their husbands could not find
either the hook or the eye. That
these neighbor women were away
from home and the neighborly hus
bands had consented to do the hook
ing and the eyeing. For moral rea
sons he asked the support of the
bill
