KILLS TOO MANY TAILORS Contract Co tition Creates Condi- tlon that New York Union May Strike to Remedy. NEW YORK, May -The diffe unions in the tailoring trade in New York Brooklyn and Newark issued 2 notice to | the manufacturers that they are preparing for a fight for the abolition of the middle- men in the clothing trade. If in a reason- able time the manufacturers do not provide shops for the tallors, declare, a gen eral strike jnvolving all the talloring trades will be ordered. Resolutions to this effect were adopted today under the seals of the several un . involved. The tailors clalm that it has become impossible for the average work- man in the trade to earn enough to live on. This condition is said to be caused by the competition between the small contractors. The men, therefore, demand | the abolition of the contract system, in order that the workers may have the ben efit of the middlemen’s profit. The resolu tion 1 h that the present system results in 35 per cent of the tailors dying of consumption, being obliged to work six- teen hours, housed in stuffy | breathing foul eir.

The two in which no con- ;:!ukmn Was announced were those known as | the “fourteen diamond rings” case, and the |second ot the Dooley cases. The uude- | eided Dooley deals with a phase of | the Porto Rican questfon, and the diamond | vings case involves the right to the free | importation of merchandise from the Philip | pines to the United States. The original intention of had °n to adjourn after today's sitting for {the term, but discussion of the cases | passed on today took about five hours, so e court adjourned unti] tomorrow, when it presumed the remaining passed upon | Ot the several ¢ two which attracted the greate share of attention from the court were what 1s known as the Delima case and that known as the Downes case, and of these two the opinfon in the Downes case is consldered the most far-reaching, as It affects our fu- ture relations, whereas the Delima case dealt with a transitional phase of our in- | sular relations. | The Delima case was the first to recelve the attention of the court, and as it ap peared to be quite sweepingly opposed to the government's contentions, many P sons precipitately arrived at the conclusion that the government had been worsted ull along the line. This view suffered a do- cided change when the decision was ceived fn the Down The court was very evenly divid. both but | political lines were at all controlling. Duties Must Be Retu | The Delima case involved | the government to collect a duty on goods imported into the United States from Porto Rico after the ratification of the treaty of Paris and before the passage of the Porto | Rican act. . The court sald the govers ept. this_cgse was sub- G o Rico 1s tor- |eign territory. The entire case turned upon that contention. The court held that the position was not well taken; that Porto Rico was ot at the time a foreign terri- tory, and, therefore, the duty which had been collected must be returned. The decision in the Downes case fol- lowed the history of the dealings of tho United States with Porto Rico a step | farther. That case dealt with the legulity |of the exaction of duties on goods fme ported from Porto Rico into New York after the passage of the Foraker act, pro- | viding for a duty upon goods shipped from the United States into Porto Rico and those shipped from Porto Rico into the United States. In this case the court held that such exaction was legal and constitue tional The colle ot today cases case the court b cases will be ses decided today the t & case, 4 on not casos ned, the power of point of the twa opinions considered tively is that Porto Rlco was never, the acquisition of that island, for- eign territory; that until congress acted upon the question no duty could be col- lected, but as soon as congress outlined a method of controlling the island's rev- enues, that action became binding. In other words, congress has power under the constitution to prescribe the manner of collecting the revenues of the country's insular posseseions, and has the right to lay a duty on goods imported into our in- sular possessions from the United States or exported from them into the United States. It holds, in brief that for taxa- tlon purposes they are mot a part of the United States, to the extent that goods shipped between their ports and the United States are entitled to the same treat- ment, s though they were shipped be- tween ew York and New Orleans. Dissenting Opinto Justice Brown dellvered the court's | opinfon in both and there were vigorous dissenting opinfons fn both.
