Constantly Meet Opposition. “The Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers ha ruggled to bring about the same conditions in New York, only to be met constantly Chicago by oppo- sition on the part of some of the manufacturers who do not seem to understand that only through the maintenance of decent conditions can the clothing industry prosper as it should.” The strike decision was due to two s a statement v Hillman, general ident of the Amalgamated Cloth- Workers of America. He charged of the manufacturers in the with having “utilized the busi- ion for breaking down of the workers and re- arried out mainly by em- ployers who send their work to con- tracting shops, he said, adding that these firms hheld their work in order to get reduced prices with a consequent reduction of wages to the workers employed by the contractors.

STUDEBAKER n E HOWARD S. FISK, MAnAGER INTEREST IN PATRONS REQUIRED OF BANKERS Association Head Says They Must Work With Sympathy and Understanding. By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, June 25.—Real divi- dends from a bank loan are not in the collsction of principal and inter- est, but in the impetus which is given to productive achievement and the consequent gain in the aggregate of Wwealth and happiness, Walter F. Head, president of the American Bankers' Association, declared here today in an address before the Wis- consin Bankers' Association. The banker's interest in his “debtor- patron,” Mr. Head said, “"does not end with an examination of his statement and approval of the loan. It begins then. ~The interest in his debtor is not merely collection of the debt when due. It is to his interest that the borrower shall make his business successful in the largest possible way. He may collect his debt by selling his debtor's assets at auction, but if that is all he accomplishes he has failed. ““The banker achieves success only Wwhen the money he loans enables an industry or a business to develop and srow, to become an increasing factor in the community, to contribute by its prosperity to 'the greater pros- perity of those dependent upon it, and, ~ through them, to the greater prosperity of the entire territory in which it is located. “To be bankers today, they also must be economists, soclologists. business men, versed in industry and in commerce, psychologists knowing human nature, statesmen understan ing of politics, and they must have knowledge of international affairs. “It is because of adherence to the principle that bankers must be men of general affairs that the associa- tion is sponsoring a campaign of co- operation with the farmer.” CONCESSION DENIED.
