AGAINST ORGANIZATION
Latest Move Of the Clothing Manu-
facturers Of Rochester.
OVER 300» LOCKED OUT.
As the Victims Are Cutters and Trimmers
- I It Is Probable That Before the \Veek
Ends There \Vill Be an Army of
20,000 Idle People.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 9,—At noon
Saturday the clothing manufacturers of
the city notified the cutters and trimmers
in their factories that their services would
be discontinued,at least temporarily. There
are about 350 men thrown out of work at
once by this order. Unless arrangements
are made for resuming work before the lat-
ter part of the week it is estimated that
over 20,000 people will be without employ-
ment in consequence. _
Henry Michaels, president of the Cloth-
iers’ exchange, notified the men in the em-
ploy of his firm, Michaels, Stern & 00.,
that he was extremely sdrry that there
was no more work for them. Other manu—
facturers used similar brief but signifi-
cant expressions. All the notices were
given just before noon, at which hour the
employes stopped work.
Excitement Among the Locked Out.
There was no little excitement along
North St. Paul street, where most of the
factories are located, when the employes
left the shops. They gathered in groups
at the corners and other places, discussing
in an animated manner the change in
their affairs. Many of the cutters carried
their rules and shears with them.
Weile, Stern & Co.’s factories notified
the trimmers and cutters Friday, as they
observe Saturday as a holiday. A reporter
talked with Frederick A. Archer, a. cutter
employed in Garson, Meyer & Co.’s fac-
tory, and who is an officer in the Cutters’
assembly. He said: “No demand has been
made on us for anything. Our employers
have found no fault with us. All that we
know is that there is no mere work for us.
A little later we may have some statement
for publication. There is nothing more
that I can say now. The trouble has been
anticipated for a long time and both sides
have been preparing for it.”
Twenty Thousand “’ill Be Idle.
The general opinion is that the women
operatives will complete the work now in
the shops. These operatives are members
of the union, however, and some believe
that they will not finish the work on hand.
In a few shops there is no work cut ahead,
and in the others there is a few days’ work.
In no shop is there more than a week’s
work, it is said. By the end of next week,
therefore, unless something is done to re-
sume cutting, all the operatives, including
the tailors, will be out of work. Mr.
Michaels states that fully 20,000 and others
say more than that number will be thrown
out. Included in the number are the tail-
ors employed in the numerous small shops
scattered about the city.
Manufacturers’ trade will not be inter-
rupted, as they have a- large amount of
stock on hand, having worked overtime,
possibly with a view to prepare for this
crisis.
Cutters average $18 to $20 a week. The
trimmers earn from $10 to 5515. Most of
the tailoring work is done by girls and
women, who earn from $2 to $8 a week.
The Manufacturers’ Grievances.
It is understood that the manufacturers
claim that the leaders of the labor union
living in other cities have really levied as-
sessments on them from time to time, and
the amounts were paid in order to prevent
the declaring of strikes or boycotts. It is
also a grievance of the manufacturers that
they are limited by the union as to the
number of apprentices in the cutting de-
partments. It is further alleged that the
manufacturers are not allowed by the
union to hire any new cutters without the
consent of the union; that the niaiiufact-,_
urers need more cutters in many shops and
asked the union to furnish them, and that
the organization has not done so. In re-
gard to the latter claim members of the
union say there has been so much demand
for cutters throughout the country that
it has been impossible to secure any from
other places. The manufacturers say that
if they had been allowed more apprentices
there would be no scarcity of cutters.
All branches of the clothing trade are
organized as assemblies of the Knights of
Labor. It will be remembered that the na-
tional convention of the Clothing assembly,
K. of L., was held in this city last summer.
A meeting of the executive committee of
the Clothiers’ exchange was held during
the afternoon to consider the situation.
Nothing was given out for publication, but
it is believed a manifesto is being drawn up
declaring on what terms the employes will
be received back in the shops. \
An Effort to Break the Organization.
A prominent member of the Clothing
Cutters" and Trimmers’ ‘union made the
following statement in regard to the diffi—
culty: “This trouble with our employers
has been brewing for some time. Within
the last few months many of the manu-
facturers have done everything they could
to precipitate a strike. A short time ago
a cutter who had been employed in a house
and was receiving but 812 per week secured
employment in another house at $18 per
week. The first week he worked he re-
ceived his 818, but during the next week it
came to the knowledge of his employer
that he had been receiving but 812 per week
from his former employer. The next pay
day the cutter received but 86, mak-
ing his wages $12 per week. This and
many other matters of a similar nature
have been brought before the union, but
they were overlooked, as we preferred get-
ting along without trouble if possible, as
our organization does not favor strikes. 1
think that their reason in looking us out
is that they do not wish to recognize us as
a body and intend to make an effort to
break up our organization.”
The Sherman Statue Fund.
NEW YORK, March 9.—Amos R. Eno in a
letter to the committee having in charge
the raising of a fund for the erection of a
statue to the late General Sherman states
that if the committee will announce pub-
licly that all surplus subscriptions will be
turned over to the family of the late gen-
eral he will subscribe $2,500, but if the
fund is merely to be used in the erection of
a statue as now proposed he will give only
$1,000. Mr. Eno believes that if the public
were apprised of the intention of the com—
mittee to turn over any surplus moneys to
the family it would subscribe more liber-
ally and promptly. The committee unani-
mously approved of Mr. Eno’s suggestion
and accepted his offer. Resolutions were
adopted by the committee to the effect that
any surplus subscriptions to the fluid for
the statue be turned over to the. gciicral’s
. its course.

Dog Fighters Nabbed.
CINCINNATI, 0., March 9.——A dog tight
in the suburbs of Sharon was attended
by Sheriff Valentine Hcim and four of his
deputies. The promoters of the affair were
in blissful ignorance of their presence.
\Vhen the fight had fairly commenced and
the brutes were chewing one another at
a lively rate the sheriff and his deputies
stepped into the ring and declared the en-
tire assemblage, numbering more than one
hundred people, under arrest. A wild
scramble to escape ensued and a majority
of them succeeded. Fourteen men, how-
ever, and the two dogs were made captive
and brought to this city and locked up.
The prisoners all gave fictitious names.
Several prominent citizens were among the
number. The penalty is severe.
The Jury Rises to Explain.
JEANsVILLE, Pa., March 9.—Thc long
looked for coroner’s verdict was given to
the public Saturday night. After rehears-
ing the general account of the disaster the
jury goes‘oii to say that the said accident
occurred Feb. 4, 1801, and that thirteen
miners were drowned or suffocated on
that date, or soon thereafter, by the rush
of water from an old and abandoned
working known as the “No. 6 slope,” and
it being on a much higher level, the said
water having been started by the blast set
off by a miner at- the head of the breast
known as “NO. 7’ in No. 10 slope,” west
gangway, and that said accident occurred
by reason of an incorrect map of the mines
made some time in the history of the old
workings.

Italian Customs Officers.
HE DEMANDS PROTECTION.
Mr. ‘Vatts Protests Vigorously Against
Being Shaken Like a Naughty School-
boy—Capture of Degnjefl‘. the Ni-
hilist M urderer—Othcr Items.
ROME, March 0,—A case of outrageous
treatment of an American citizen by the
Italian customs officials at the French fron»
tier has just been reported to the Ameri-
can consulate here. P rOiii inquiries made
upon the subject it appears that Mr. Henry
Sedgwick Watts, an American, has resided
for the past six years at Cuneo, in Pied-
mont, near the frontier. Mr. NVatts has
been in the habit of crossing and recrossing
the frontier at his convenience. A few days
ago, while returning as usual from a drive,
Mr. W'atts was stopped by some Italian
customs officers and roughly ordered to get
out of his carriage and go with them to the
nearest customs bureau, iiiOrder that he
might be searched, on suspicion of having
contraband goods about his person. After
protesting against such treatment and tell-
ing the customs officers that he had been
in the habit for years of driving across the
frontier and driving back when it suited
him, Mr. ‘i’Vatt-s consented to go with his
captors.
Au Excituble Official.
Upon entering the customs bureau an
official rushed furiously into the room
where Mr. \Vatts had been taken, and after
gesticulating wildly for a moment or so,
and _'giving vent to a tirade of abuse in
Italian,‘ seized Mr. \Vatts and shook him
violently. In spite Of the treatment to
which he had been subjected Mr. Watts
remained calm, and refrained from resent-
in g the customs Oflicial’s violence. The
American, in French, asked the meaning
of the outrage, but for a reply the officer
simply threatened to imprison him. Mr.
\Vatts was then searched, lint nothing of a
contraband nature was found on him. He
was then released.
' The Official Was There First.
Mr. \Vatts, however, was not disposed tc
let the matter pass without protest. He
called upon the local authorities at Cuiiec
and lodged a complaint against the cus
toms officers who had treated him in such
an unwarranted manner. To his surprise
he found that the customs official who had
roughly handled him had been there before
him and bad charged him with outrage-
ously insulting an officer in the discharge
of his duties. Upon this charge Mr. Watts
was dilly tried and acquitted when it
was shown that the accusations brought
by the customs officers against the Amer-
ican were not founded upon fact.
Mr. “’iitts Demands Protection.
The government authorities at Cuneo,
not being content with the decision of the
local courts, made an appeal against it,
and in self protection Mr. \Vatts immedi-
ately upon hearing of this new move, made
in the interests of the customs officers whc
had insulted him, sought the advice of the
nearest United States official representa-
tive. This, according to tradition, was the
United States consul at Turin, but Mr.
\Vatts found that this post was vacant, the
successor of the late United States consul
there having as yet not been recognized by
the Italian government. Consequently
Mr. \Vatts was compelled to continue his
journey as far as Home, where he. is now
stopping. Mr. \Vatts claims the protection
of the United States consul, Mr. A. Bourne
and has made a sworn statement as tc
what took place at Cunco. The niattei
will be frilly investigated by the United
States consulate.
Sudcikiu’s Murderer Captured.
ST. PETERSBURU, March 9.—Degajeff, the
iiiliilist leader and murderer of‘the cliiel
of the secret police in 1883, has been arrest-
ed at Kostronia. \Vlien taken into custody
he was found lodging under an assumed
nameiii the house of a government offi-
cial. A reward of 10,000 rubles has for a
long time been offered for his capture
The chief instructor at the Kostronia gym-
nasium, who was suspected of being i1n~
plicated with Degajctf either in the actual
murder or in the conspiracy which led tc
it, committed suicide just as the police
burst open the door of his room with the
intention ofarresting him. A number 01
other arrests have. been made and sensa-
tional developments are expected.
[Degajel'f and his accomplices murdered
Lieutenant Colonel Sudeikin, chief of the
Russian secret police, and his principal as-
sistant in his own room Dec. 29, 1883.]
Tim Law \Vill Be Enforced.
PARIS, Mai-ch 0.—The betting booths and
stands have been removed from the Auteuil
race grounds. A force of 000 policemen
and two companies Of infantry are on hand
to guard the grounds and see that there is
no violation of the anti-betting law. De-
spite these precautions, twenty prison vans
are also kept in readiness to convey law-
breakers to jail. Several papers suggest
that the government should take entire
charge of racing, should arrange societies
and courses and hold meetings undei
supervision of the authorities, the proceeds
to go to the municipalities. In this case
the government would tolerate Paris mu.
tuels. _
