PATERSON. N. J., October 13—The
water in the flooded districts continues
to go down and no apprehension of
further damage is felt. All the fam-
ilies who were in danger have been
taken out of their houses and cared
‘ for. About 1,000 homeless are being
cared for. it will be several days bo-
fore a portion of the sufferers can re-
turn to their houses, while many will
have to begin all over again, their
homes having been swept away. Some
of the mills in the flooded districts,
which had to shut down. started to
day. but others are still idlc. Thous~
[tide of mill hands will be out of work
"for some time.

most a famine of milk, eggs and kero-

ed for the sufferers by the flood, the
expense of caring for them being home

that within another day only about a

the authorities for assistance. The

with ti. list of the regular dclogaics who

Following the appointment of this
committee Philip Davis, a graduate of
Harvard College. organizer of the in-
tcrnailonal Ladiea' Garment Workers.
delivered a convincing address in re-
gard to the condiilon of the garment
workers of New York and other cities.
Mr. Davis said in brief that he would
like to call the attention of the dele-
gates to the convention to the condi-
tions which surround the making of
the sweatshop made garments. which
and sold in this state. being exported
from New York where they are made
in the tenements. The delegates were
reminded of the great army of women
workers and children who are laboring
under unhealthy and unfavorable con-
ditions the hours being in many cases
over slxly~thrcc a week in rooms where
there is no adequate ventilation. the
light In poor and the conrliiior """v.
lic callcd attention to ihc fact that unr-
mciiis made in such places are very
likcly to be carriers of disease germs
and a nunibcr of exports on tubcrculo-
sis concur with the factory inspectors
statement that there is a vital connec-
tion between garments made in such
a manner and the transmission of dis-
case, Even the finest of garments are
not altogether exempt from this dan-
ger. Mr, Davis urged the delegates to
call the attention of the women of this
state to those facts and ask them to
advocate thrI purchase. of garment:
bearing the union label. 110 then pro-
scntcd the following resolution which
will probably be passed by the convcir
t on:
\thrnns. it is now universally rccog-
nizcd in ihn labor world that upon the
zealous defence of the rights of our
women wage carriers as producers and
strict performance of their duties as
consumers depends the future and fi-
nal triumph of iabor's cause. and
Whereas. The. label movement of
this coiintrv, founded on their sacred
duties as consumers, and those of the
working public at large. hits proved of
ten the only moans of securing and
upholding the rights of the working
men and women as producers. 110. it

any of these labels.
The prosecution of tlic idcn of the
union label will probably be tllli‘ of ”1"
strong fruiiiircs of the convention iiiid
something entirely new in this line is
to be proposed by John .1. O'Neil. or
llridgcport. The, sclicnie is now being
worked in liridgcport but as it has only
iiccn going a work it is absolutely new.
This is the agitation in favor of lalwls
of one particular color for a month,
For instance when it is “blue label
month." all union men will wear a lit-
tle bow of bloc ribbon on their coats,
This will stimulate talk regarding
unionism and will aid thcm to bear in
mind the fact of the label. The next
month now be "Ycllow label month"
and particular attention will be given
to goods bearing ihc yellow label am]
so on through the different colors. Mr.
O'Neil believes that this will keep up
a constant agitation in favor of goods
bearing the label.
The annual report of President
Donohiic will not be presented to the
convention iintli late this afternoon.
and will not he made public until af-
ter ii is read to the convention.

other candidates in the field, however,
