ALHOUR WEEK NOT NEW, SURVEY FINDS Labor Department Report Shows Extensive Use of 5-Day Program. The five-day week is not at all un- eommon in American industry and is established in several highly com- petitive trades, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Labor Department Qeclared yesterday after a survey of industry to view the possible effect of appiication of Henry Ford's five- day-week plan to industry as a whole. Of the larger industries. the regu- lar fulltime fiveday week is most prevalent in the ‘manufacture of men’s clothing, the bureau said, al- though most of the workers and or- ganized cloth hat and cap workers in New York and Philadelphia have a five-day 40-hour week. The organized coat, skirt and dressmakers of Boston: waterproof garment workers, cutters, pressers and buttonhole makers of New York; the cloak, skirt, dress and reefer makers' unions of New York and the women's tailors and custom dressmakers’ local, also of New York, all have the five-day week and in most cases the flat 40-hour week. More than 6 per cent of the union membership in all branches of the building trades work on a flat five- day week basis, the trades most affected being lathers, painters and plasterers. In the printing and pub- lishing of mewspapers, especially those in foreign languages, a work ing week of 40 hours or less, but worked variously in five or six days, s quite frequent. 18 Siher organized trades covered by the bureau’s study in which the five- day week existed to some extent were: Bakers, 1.4 per cent of those covered by the study, and laundry Workers, 7.8 per cent of those covered by the study. Even in the iron and steel industry, which has been popu- Jarly supposed to have been on an eight-hour-a-day basis but a short time, the fiveday week has found foothold, while in addition there has been “a significant extension of the practice of Saturday closing in the Summer months” of retail stores and offices. WILL GIVE IOB OVERCOATS gaks & Co. to Open Christmas Morning for Poor Children. On Christmas morning at 10 o’clock Saks & Co. will observe its annual cus- tom of giving 100 overcoats to as many poor children of the citv. it was announced today by Isaac Gans, gen- eral manager. With its regular salesmen on duty Saks & Co. will open its doors at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning to re- ceive the needy children and secure for them good fits in the overcoats. Mr. Gans, who always takes a per- sonal interest in. the distribution of the overcoats, reminded today that in cases where it is found the children need more than an overcoat they are to be invited to pick out other articles of clothing.

He wants to make tongmen unpopu- lar with Uncle Sam and has intro- | duced a bill providing deportation for tong members not eligible to citizen- ship, as undesirables. Smoking his long-stemmed, thin- ble-bowled pipe with frequent appli- cations of matches, Charlle Toy, fac- totem of the Hip Sing Tong, expressed his_surprise. “Tongs not bad,” he sald. ‘“Young people, old people, eviybody like come together. Some people \get money up, get clubhouse, everything, make clul call club tong. That's all. “Why Government not want Chi- nese to have club? Don't hurt no- body. Whatsamalla this feller?"” The On Leong Merchants' Associa- tion—no longer is it a tong—could not be reached through its officials at 11:30 a.m. today. Charlie Moy, the president, was still asleep. So was Charlie Soo, the mayor of Chinatown. And George Wen, the secretary of the “merchants’ association,” was out at the bank. From varlous association members, |- however, there is much amazement leveled at Mr. Miller. The boys down in Chinatown can’t understand why Americans shouldn't like tong members, for they are noth- ing more nor less, say they, than lodge members or club members or chamber of commerce members. There's nothing mysterious about tongs, say they. Nice, peaceable or- ganizations. Which s readily ad- mitted by police authorities on China- town. Peaceable, that is, until trouble starts. TEST FOR BIG FAMILEIS. British Villages in Competition to Show Supremacy. BARNSLEY, Yorkshire, December 23 (®).—Villages in this part of Eng- |land are vieing for the largest family. The first claim was made by the village of Denaby Main, when Mrs. Willlam Manchester, wife of a miner, became the mother of her nineteenth child. The village of Blacker Hill then put up Noah Bissel and his next-door neighbor, Thomas Hazelwood, both of whom are the fathers of 22 children, and pointed to Matthew Dawson of the same village, who has a family of 17. Bissell organized a foot ball team among his sons and challeneged all comers. The record, however, is held by Mrs. John Austen of Platts Common, near Barnsley, who is mother of 24 and has, in addition, reared four adopted children. One of Mrs. Austen's daugh- ters has 12 children, and two others 11 each.
