The post of arbitrator between the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and employers in the clothing market of this city has been accepted by Judge Horace Stern, leading jurist and prominent in Jewish communal affairs.
In his letter of acceptance of the post, written to Morris Wolf, of the law firm of Wolf, Solis-Cohen, who represent the manufacturers and the Amalgamated, Judge Stern stipulated that he is to serve without compensation.
Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated, expressed his gratification at Judge Stern’s acceptance of the post of market arbitrator, saying:
“The acceptance by Judge Stern of the impartial chairmanship is evidence that men of social vision in the United States recognize the vital importance of the impartial arbitration machinery plan in civilizing the relations between employers and those who perform the daily tasks of industry.”
Judge Stern is a prominent figure in Philadelphia civic life. He is honorary president of the Federation of Jewish Charities; a member of the board of trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, of which he is a graduate; and is the presiding judge in the Court of Common Pleas, to which court he was appointed in 1920.
