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-

 

gnian 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

ght. Nearly 2,000 of the Overcoat and

ack Coat Makers’ union were called
but 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 places today, 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 has been 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
clothing for 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.

i 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.

csoAs WILDE‘ LIBERATBD.

. He Will Go to Paris In a Few Days and~

Then Perhaps to Italy.
London, May 20.——Osc'ar Wilde, who
was removed from Reading jail to Hol-

loway prison last night, was released'

from the latter institution today, his
sentence having expired. He was not
greeted by any friends at the prison
gates. He declined to make any state-
ment beyond saying that he was men-
tally tired, though his condition, both
physically and mentally, had greatly
improved within the last year. ’
The prison physician said this morn-

'lng that Wilde’s confinement had been

 

OSCAR
at great benefit to him, and that he is
now normally sound. Wilde, he said,
would go to the suburbs of London for
a. few days’ rest and then go to Paris
and perhaps to Italy. It is Wilde’s in-
tention to write a play under a pseu-
donym, though the authorship of the
work will not be concealed.

To a friend Wilde said a day or two
ago that he would not seek notoriety,
but, on_ the other hand, he would not
persistently seek solitude.

It is reported that Wilde’s wife will
now apply for a divorce, to which he
will make no defense.

Upon leaving the prison Wilde de-
clined an offer of £1,000 to Write his
experiences while in confinement for a
New York newspaper.

THE DAVIS MILLIONS.

A Convict’s Queer Story of the Existence
of a Second \Vill.

Butte, Mon., May 20.—A stir has been
created among the heirs of the Davis
estate by the receipt of a letter from
the American Tract society in New
York inclosing another from Edwin
Stoddard, an, inmate of the Trenton
penitentiary. Stoddard claims to have
positive knowledge of the-Existence of
a will made by the late A. J. Davis, by
which the American Tract society,
American Bible society and American
Board of Foreign Missions Were each
bequeathed $10,000 and by which $5,000,-
000 was set aside for a university in
Butte. Stoddard’s knowledge, he claims,
comes from the fact that he had the
will in his possession for a long time
for the purpose of forging another will
at the instance of some of the legatees
mentioned in it :WhO were dissatisfied
with their bequests. The scheme for
forgery, however, was not completed
when he was sent to the penitentiary,
and he only recently learned that the
original will had not been probated. He
says the will was executed in 1889 and
is still in existence.

The Floods Cost $14,500,000.

New Orleans, May 20.—It is thought
that there will be no further damage
done by the overflow. The losses in
Louisiana are estimated at $1,750,000; in
Mississippi at $8,500,000 and in Arkansas
at $4,250,000, or a total of $14,500,000, a
less serious loss than in many previous
years of overflow when the river was
not nearly so high as now.

Eaton by the Cannibals.

San Francisco, May 20.—The. brigan—
tine Galilee, from Tahiti, brought con—
firmation of the news that young Lich-
tenstein, the wealthy Englishman, had

Cruz islands. Nothing is known as to
the identity of the missionary who was
killed and eaten at the same time.

Allen Succeeds Purdy.

tem Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland was

the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Thomas C. Purdy.
