.MORETlllojS STRIKE
The Number of Unemployed In New
York lncreased by 2,000.
PROGRESSIVES MAY JOIN.
Without Them the Men Might Have a
Hard Struggle—The Number Now De-
manding Better Wages Is About
29,000, With More to Follow.
New York, May 20.——The tailors' strike
is rapidly developing into a movement
involving the entire body of garment
workers. The children’s jacket makers,
the sailors’ jacket makers, the overcoat
and sack coat makers and the Lithua-
nian tailors have already joined the
ranks of the strikers. It Was believed
today that the pants and vest makers
would go out, and it is considered prob—
able that by tomorrow the Progressive
tailors will have taken a hand in the
fight. Nearly 2,000 of the Overcoat and
Sack Coat Makers' union were called
out today. The 1,500 other members of
the union struck yesterday afternoon,
as did also the sailors’ jacket makers.
About 500 women were also forced to
leave their placestoday, since, when the
men employed in the shops are out,
there is no work for them to do.
The strike also spread to Newark to-
day. A committee from the garment
workers in that city came here yester-
day to investigate the strike. That the
committee was satisfied that the strike
is justified is apparent from the fact
that as soon as it returned to Newark
it ordered a strike of the Brotherhood
tailors employed there. About 700 of
them left their places today, and more
were expected to go out. Newark jacket
makers to the number of 300 also went
out in sympathy. Today therefore finds
in the neighborhood of 29,000 garment
makers on strike in this city, Brooklyn,
' Brownsville and Newark. The number
is divided up among the various classes
about as follows:
Brotherhood tailors, 15,000; overcoat
and sack coat makers, 3,500; children’s
jacket makers, 6,000; sailors’ jacket
makers, 2,500; women operators, 1,000,
and Newark tailors and jacket mak-
ers, 1,000. ' .
Of that number, nearly three-fourths
are men and women who ordinarily
work in this city.
The failure of the Progressive tailors
to strike was a disappointment to those
who are already out. Meyer Schoen-
feld, the leader of the strike, was confi-
dent, however, that they would vote to
strike. '
The Progressive tailors are a. social—
istic organization. They make clothes
for the best class of retail and whole-
sale houses in the city, and their condi-
tion is slightly better than that of the
Brotherhood tailors, who work through
the contractors and for the manufac-
turers.
Always at Loggerheads.
Heretofore when one “organization has
been on strike the other has invariably
remained at work. Their interests have
always clashed, and there hasbeen bad
blood between them. .. -
On this occasion, for the first time
they were united in sympathy at least.
There were a number of the members
of the Progressive tailors who were
opposed to'a strike, declaring that they
were satisfied with the present condi-
tion. The number of opponents to a
strike, however, dwindled rapidly to—
day, becoming smaller, and it was
thought soon they would be a hopeless
minority. A strike by the Progressives
would be a distinct triumph for the
strikers. It would unite every depart-
ment of garment workers and every
creed of political belief in the fight.
It is now evident that the contractors,
the men -who take contracts to furnish
clothingfor the manufacturers, whole-
salers and large retailers, are, as they
have declared from the start, in sympa-
thy with the striking garment workers.
If they were not, they would by this
time have made some effort to organize,
and they would also have tried to fill
the places of the strikers. They have
done neither. They cannot, of course,
come out openly in favor of the strik-
ers. To do so would jeopardize their
chance for obtaining future contracts
from the manufacturers, and they can-
not afford to run such a risk. A tacit
agreement exists between the contract-
ors and the strikers, however, and both
are fighting, one openly and the other
covertly, to compel the manufacturers
to raise the prices which they now pay
for clothing. The same scenes of fer-
ment that have been visible on the east
side ever since the strike began on last
Sunday were visible there today, and
in an increased degree.
Nearly 10,000 strikers were wandering
about the streets, waving their hands,
shrugging their shoulders and talking
excitedly to every person who could un-
derstand them. They have thus far
been an orderly crowd, however. Not a
single striker has as 'yet been arrested.
When they were called out last sum-
mer, nearly 180 operators were locked
up before the strike had progressed
three days.
Accessions From Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May 20.—The coatmak-
ers' branch of the Garment Workers’
union to the number of 260 joined the
garment workers’ strike for an increase
in wages today. Several branches of
the union also decided to join in the
strike, and meetings will be held by
other branches of the organization. It
is believed that unless the contractors
accede to the demands there will be
from 7,000 to 8,000 garment workers on
strike by the end of the week.

Mr. A. C. White, hatter, of 47 River
street says: “Mrs. White has been so
bad with headache that she could not
attend to the most trivial household
duties, and has, on more than one occa-
sion been confined to bed. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills came to our notice through
reading the papers and thinking they
might help her, she went to Hale’s
drug store and got a box. Although
pretty bad at the time, the pills took
right hold and she pulled through the
attack without giving completely up,
something she could not do before
using the remedy. We can both rec
ommend Doan’s Kidney Pills; she from
experience, I from observation.”

HORSE STOPS A TRAIN.
There are various ways for signaling
to the engineer of a locomotive to stop
his train, but the latest was accomplish-
ed Wedesnday morning by a horse.
Twelve finely bred horses belonging
to James Sloan of New York, were
shipped in a special car attached to the
8 a. m. express. The car was next to
the locomotive. '
The train left the Grand Central de-
pot on time and was bowling along at
high speed through Greenwich, when
suddenly the momentum was stopped
with such sudden force as to fairly
throw several of the passengers out of
their seats.
Mr. Sloan and his party were in a
parlor car. They jumped off to see
what had happened. The conductor
and brakemen were also hustling, but
after a minute it was all explained and
everybody laughed.
It appears that one of the horses in
the private car lifted up his head and
in a playful mood seized the whistle
cord overhead in his mouth. He gave
this signal cord a couple of quick pulls
and of course the little signal whistle
in the cab sounded two short blasts in
Engineer Pierson’s ear. .
Sucha signal means ‘fstop quick.”
Engineer Pierson naturally imagined
something serious was the matter and
instantly applied the emergency brake
and brought his train up standing.
The men in the car with the horses
poked their heads out and shouted
“Diamond Dick’ did it with his teeth.”
’After the explanation was made En-
gineer Pierson said, “Well I’ll be—
if I ever had a horse pull a signal on
me before.” The car was taken off at
South Norwalk and sent through to
Lenox.

THERE IS A CLASS OF PEOPLE
Who are injured by the use of cofiee.
Recently there has been placed in all
the country stores a new preparation
called GRAIN—O, made of pure grains,
that takes the place of coffee. The
most delicate stomach receives it with-
out distress, and but few can tell it
from codes. It does not cost over 14
as much. Children may drink it with
great benefit. 15cts. and 25cts. per
package. Try it. _ Ask for GRAIN-O.

young mother proudly pushing a baby
coach that the juvenile being triumph-
antly trundled is the first one.
For two or three women to go to the
theatre unaccompanied by masculine
escort has become to be regarded as
eminently correct by even the greatest
sticklers for propriety.
Some conductors are unduly officious
in their care for feminine passengers.
If they bestowed the same attention on

CAMBRIDGE m EXCITED.
Undergraduates Violently Oppose Confer-
ring of Degrees on W'omen.
London,rMay 21.—The students; of the
various colleges comprising the Univer-
sity of Cambridge are greatly excited
over the question of conferring d‘égrees
upon women. A majority of the stu—
dents are hostile to the project and are
terrorizing the graduates who are fa-
vorable to it.
Thirty students in one college have
subscribed to an oath not to take de-
grees at the commencement in June if
Women are also permitted to take
them. The students of Cains college
.have subscribed the sum of £50 for
fireworks to be used in case the pro—
posal to allow women to receive degrees
is rejected,. and will devote as much of.
the money as may be necessary to 'pur-
chase bad eggs with which to pelt the
supporters of the project if it should
be successful.
The .voting on the proposal will begin
tomorrow, and only graduating stu-
dents will be allowed to take part in
the balloting. Many distinguished per-
sons support ‘the proposal, but 2,000 stu-
dents have joined in a petition oppos-
ing. it. These dissenting students in—
clude the presidents of the college row-
ing, cricket and football clubs. In ad-
dition to these manifestations of dis-
approval a great many Cambridge stu—
dents have thl‘eatenedsto leave the uni-
versity and join Oxford in case the pro—
posal is carried.
BLAZE IN ALBANY CAPITOL.
Temporary Roof Caught Fire—Flames Sub-
dued Before Damage Was Done.
Albany, May 21.——A fire was discov-
ered‘ today in the roof of a projection
from the front side of the capitol build-
ing on the fourth story. The flames
were directly in front of the rooms of
the state civil service commission,
where a temporary board roof had been
constructed: A mass of rubbish, the
gathering of years, fed the flames,
which were fanned along by a high
wind.
There was no water at hand to sub-
due them, and the entire capitol force
stood helpless. No damage of value
could have been done, owing to the sit-
uation of the fire. The fire was dismow
cred while the civil service comn ' ' _.
was having a very heated discussion.
The commissioners were turned out of
their rooms by the crowd of curiosity
seekers which surged in from all parts
of the building.
The capitol building was quickly filled
with a dense smoke, and it was found
necessary to call out the Albany fire
department. The patrol spread their
tarpaulins over the valuable law library
in the court of appeals. The fire burned
briskly, and its location rendered it
hard for the firemen to fight it.
The flames were finally subdued, hav-
ing been confined to the temporary roof
where they originated.
Claimant to a Dukedom.
London. May 21.—A special cable—
gram from Johannesburg, Transvaal,
published today, says that a gentleman
who has been a resident of South Africa
for a score of years claims to be a
younger brother of the late Duke of
Hamilton, who died May 16, 1895, and
therefore the heir to the dukedom. He
alleges that he left Scotland in 1875,aft-
er killing a man in a duel.
Suicide of a Bank Teller.
St. Louis, May 21.—George A. Tdylor,
