Charge of favoritism shocks New York garment workers
In New York a complaint to Samuel Gompers alleges the board of labor standards discriminates against shops employing International Ladies' Garment Workers Union members while Amalgamated Clothing Workers shops get most army uniform contracts. Unemployed committees say many garment workers are idle and urge action to Washington authorities. Gompers promises to help, citing unequal government work distribution and reduced demand as women economize on last year’s clothing.
