Thousands of Tailors In the Metropo-
lis Quit Their Work.
\
MANY MORE TO JOIN THEM.
Low' Wages the Plaint, Though the Griev-
hnces Have Not Yet Been Formug
lated—Redoubtable Meyer Scho-
lenfeld Wanted as Leader.
New York, May 18.—As was predicted
would be the case, the strike begun by
the Brotherhood of Tailors is spreading.
Meetings were held today at 77 Essex
street and at Walhalla hall.
At the former gathering the executive
committee prepared to formally call out
the 1,000 or more members of Tailors’
Jacket Makers’ union and the 2,000 con-
nected with the knee pants makers’
organization.
The street in front of Walhalla hall
was packed for a. block on 'either side
the building all the morning. Fully
excited men and women
were pushing and crowding about an
hour' before the meeting began. The
‘ call was for Meyer Schoenfeld, and the
Walhalla hall gathering insists that he
lead them, as he has done before.
Schoenfeld is now a. bailiff in the
~ Clinton court, and there was some anx-
iety as to whether he would heed the
summons of his followers. An effort
will be made to get him in any event.
A mass meeting has been called. It
will be held at Liberty hall, in Houston
I'atreet, and a strenuous effort will be
made to get the cloakmakers to join in
the strike.‘ In case they do, as many
'assert will be the case, it is not unlikely
that fully 35,000 men will be out by the
end of the week. As it is, there are
anywhere from 12,000 to 16,000.
The strikers have not yet decided
just what they are striking for. The
executive committee will formulate the
demands of the brotherhood at the Es-
‘sex street meeting.
The strike comes rather unexpectedly
for the contractors. No later than Sat—
urday the Brotherhood of Tailors de-
cided to avoid a strike, but none the
less popular clamor swept aside what-
ever doubt as to the advisability of the
move that the leaders might have had
and liteially forced them to order a
strike.
An effort had been made to unite all
the garment workers before a. strike
was ventured on, and the executive
committee had considered plans to that
end till after midnight Saturday night.
The crowd in the streets at first was
inclined to await the action of the com-
mittee, but about as early as 2 o’clock
yesterday morning they began to throng
Orchard street, in the neighborhoOd of
Walhalla hall, clamoring for the execu-
tive committee to show themselves.
William Cohen, the chairman of the
committee, went to a window of the
room on the third floor.
“Strike! Strike!” shouted the crowd.
“What do you mean? Are you mad '7”
cried Cohen. “You have just agreed to
have no strike till all are united. Go
home and sleep.”
“We can’t sleep. We are starving.
'You must order us to strike,” was the
reply.
Angry \Vith Cohen.
Cohen shut the window with a bang.
An angry roar went up from the mob.
“Come down and order a. strike or
we will break down the doors. Let us
strike or we’ll lynch you,” they shout-
ed. Cohen, followed by two other com—
mitteemen, came down as soo‘n as the
door was opened. There was a rush
and the committeemen were borne off
their feet.
“Have pity on us and on our children.
Order us to strike!” implored the tai-
lors.
The executive committee tried to
stave off the called for action, but final-
ly, at 6 o’clock in the morning, the red
trade flags were hung out of the hall
windows as a. signal that the strike had
been declared.
Then the crowd dispersed, cheering
as they went, While the executive com—
mittee proceeded to appoint a commit-
tee of five from each branch represent-
ed to summon the workers from their
shops.
About 3. 500 workers on overcoats and
sack coats went out at 10 o’clock this
’morning, and most of them joined the
crowd in and about Walhalla hall.
A delegation of about 700 strikers
shortly before 10 o’clock marched to
the residence of Meyer Schoenfeld, at
125 Clinton street. At first Schoenfeld
would not put in an appearance, but
the strikers created such a disturbance
that Schoenfeld at last appeared on the
balcony and spoke in German.
As he showed himself there were loud
demands that be lead the strikers.
But the cheers soon changed to groans
and hisses, for the former leader told
the deputation that the strike was in-
opportune and not likely to prove suc-
cessful.
This wasn't a cheering sentiment, and
the strikers marched back to Walhalla
hall, which was packed with 5,000 ex-
cited garment workers—men, women
and children.
There the effort to secure a leader
was resumed, friends of Samuel Cohen.
Joseph Barondess and Schoenfeld tryi-
ing to secure the choice of their favor .
ites. Th‘e turmoil was so great that lit»
tle progress was made.
Acting captain Titus of the Eldridge
Street station had a platoon of reserves
in readiness to turn out at a. moment’s
notice, but the action of the strikers
thus far is such as not to necessitate
police interference. .
The progressive tailors, numbering:
2,000, are preparing to quit work.
A committee representing that sec-
tion of the trade which favors the lead-
ership of Joseph Barondess repaired to
his home, 784 Broadway, Williamsburg‘,
to try and secure his services as leader.
Mr. Barondess will be the principal
speaker at a mass meeting of strikers
to be held in Walhalla hall. Should he.
accept the position of leader he will an-
nounce himself to that effect then.
This is the first time in the history of
strikes, or “annual ~outings," as they
are termed on the east side, that al.
the branches have united for a commor
purpose.

“GRANITE STATE” BANKS.
An Encouraging ”Repmt on the Peter-V
boro Cour em 15 Affairs.
Boston, May 18. —A dispatch to The
Herald from Petersboro, N. H., szays
“‘In the face of the not too encouraging
outlook of several if not many of the
savings banks in this state which have
suspended business under injunction
the condition of the Petersboro bank is
more than satisfactory and ’such as'
reasonably to warrant the prediction
that it will be one of the conspicuous
few to resume business. Since the in—
junction was issued, about 18 months
ago, the bank’s treasurer, Mr. M. I.
Morrison, has been out westvisiting
every locality where a loan had been
placed and has personally inspected
every item on the books, and in the
bank today is a detailed description of
the condition of, every piece of real es-
tate on which the~bank has a lien. The
various values have been adjusted and
scaled to present conditions.‘ The
amount due the depos itors is $711," 4 0.
The market value of the assets, accord-
ing to the recent report to the savings
bank commissioners, is but $14,000 short
of this, and the book value is estimated
at $16,000 more. A little time, it is
thought will enable the bank to liqui-
date at 100 cents on the dollar.”
WILL REDUCE WAGE-S.
Notice to That Effect Given by New Bed-
ford Mill Receivers.
New Bedford, Mass, May 18.—No-
tices have been posted in the Howland
mill, New Bedford Manufacturing com-
pany and the Rotch Spinning com-
pany’s mill, the affairs of which are in
the hands of receivers, announcing that
as soon as practicable the receivers will
readjust the wages to conform with
those paid in other mills of- the city.
This means a reduction. At the time
of the big strike, two years ago, Mr.
Howland refused to cut the wages of
his employees. Since then the three
corporations have continued to pay
higher wages than the other mills. Now
the receivers have decided to equalize
the scale as nearly as possible. Many
of the employees are dissatisfied, and
about 200 in the three mills have refused
to accept the readjustment. This dis—
content is,however,not sufficiently gen—
eral to cause a strike in all depart-
ments, and the vacant places are filled
in nearly every case.
