Lady Aster thereupon asked thc Home Secretary if he would "con- sider thoadvieability of putting the victims of hnbitues of public

houses, who are generally their wives. on the Liquor Control Board."

lllr. Mncqulsten retorted by re- questing tho Home Secretary to have the regulation of all churches put in the hands of prominent atheists and ilon-ehurchgonrs and also the regulation of maternity

homes put in the hands of old-maids and ascetic bachelors and silly

cranks."

There was loud laughter at this rather cruel retort, but Lady Astor bore the ordeal well. She made one more-effort to counter Macquisteds facetlousness and then gave him up as hopeless. She emitted n loud whistle, exclaimed "Oh! Ob!" several times, mode gestures of do; spair and then retired from the contest.

. (Special to The Guardian) NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-A new

scale of piece-work pay, avcrltglnt: about 30 per cent. under the high- est wage paid clothing workers since November, 1919, was au- nounced yesterday by the Clothing Manufacturers’ Association. Des- pite the fact that seven more gur- inent factories re-openetl their doors, Sidney l-lillniau, President of the Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers‘ Union, stamped the piece-work scale reduction and the return to that basis of employment its an at- tempt to cut production instead of to increase it, as the employees contended.

The new rates, according to tho manufacturers‘ announcement, are designed so that the average work- or will earn approximately $15 loss u week than he did during the per- ‘ iod of his greatest prosperity in the last year. ~ V ‘ ‘
