New York, Dec. 31. The threat
ened strike of cutters, operators,
pressers and tailors employed in the
manufacture of men's and boy s
clothing in factories of New York and

about 85,000 men and about 40,000
women.

of the organizers, "Is to end the un

many Instances clothing Is now be
ing manufactured In this city and vi
cinity, to secure from 15 to 20 per
cent Increase In wages and have the
men paid on a weekly basis; to re
duce the working hours to eight hours
n day and to abolish the systom'of
tenement house work and Incidentally
child labor.

number of recruits to sanitariums

city come from the ranks of tho gar
ment workers and this dread disease
Is contracted because of tho long
hours and conditions under which
they are forced to labor."

GUARDING NEW JERSEY RAILROAD YARDS
BIG EVENTS IN 1912
NOTABLE HISTORICAL HAPPEN-
INGS DURING THE LAST
TWELVE MONTHS.
BALKAN WAR THE GREATEST
Lost of Titanic and Deaths of Avia
tors Manohu Dynasty Overthrown
In China -Victory of the Demo
cratic Party.
New York, Dec. 31. Much notable
history was written in the year of
1912. Events of vast Importance and
of world-wide interest followed each
other In the Quick march of the past
twelve months.
Tho moBt significant of these, doubt
less, was tho war of the Dalkan states
against the Turkish empire, which
put a period to the sultan's ancient
supremacy in southeastern Europe.
The sudden rise of the minor states
which comprised the Balkan allies Is
ono of the marvels of tho ago. No
less miraculous was tho swift and
decisive way In which they swept tho
Turks across the plains of Thraco
and forced them back almost to tho
banks of the Dardanelles.
Tho moat grievous occurrenco of
the year, especially to America, was
tho sinking of tho Titanic on April
14. Tho loss of this, greatest of all
ocean llnors, with over 1,500 people,
wns tho greatest marine tragedy of
all time.
Death seemed to reign In tho air
as well as on tho water, during the
year 1912. The number of airmen
who lost their Hve3 was unprecedent
ed. And ono American woman Is
numbered Rmong the victims Miss
Quimby, who fell into tho ocean from
the height of a thousand foot Tho
year claimed 30 airmen, bringing tho
total of all up to 217.
In tho political realm tho year 1912
witnessed many remarkablo things.
Pel haps the most significant was the
completion of tho overthrow of tho
Manchu dynasty In China and the in
stallation of tho Chinese republic,
with Dr. Sun, a Harvard graduato, as
president.
In America, of course, the most Im
portant political event was the over
whelming defeat of tho Republican
party, and the return of tho Demo
cratic party .to power after sixteen
years, with Woodrow Wilson as the
now president.
An interesting feature of the po
litical movements In thtB country was
tho birth of the Progressive party,
with former President Theodoro
Roosevelt as Its godfather.
Another event which stirred the
heart of the nation was tho attempt
to assassinate Theodoro Roosevolt at
Mllwaukoo by John Schrank, a New
York crank, who is now in an Insane
asylum.
In tho matter of legislation, perhaps
the most important features woro the
veto of the Democratic house's tariff
bills relating to wool, cotton and Iron,
and tho farmers' free list, by Presi
dent Taft; and the defeat in Canada
of the reciprocity agreement
Several important opinions wore
handed down by tho Unitod States Su
preme court, tho chief of these being
the opinion touching tho Union Pa
cific merger. The action taken by the
court resulted In the dissolving of tho
great railroad combination which had
been effected by the lato E. H. liar
