TTTT TTTTTTTS WANT
Conditions Upon Which the Tailors
Will Return to Work.
THREAT THEIR ULTIMATUM.
Schedule of Hours and Prices Formally
Announced — Only Union lilen to Be
Employed and the Task and Piece
Systems to Be Dropped.
I
New York, May 25.—The beginning of
the second week of the east side tailors’
strike finds the tailors still out, but with
strong indications that some of them at
least will go back to work before its
clOse. Meyer Schoenfeld, the leader of
the tailors, made public today the con-
ditions upon which the strike would be
declared Off. The demands are as fol-
lows: - '
First, the tailors shall work but 59
hours a week. Second, they are to have
work by the week and wages are to be
paid every week. Third, only members
of the Brotherhood of Tailors—union
men—are to be employed, and fourth,
the task and piece work system must
be absolutely abolished.
This is the scale of wages which the
tailors are to receive: Firstclass-oper—
ators are to receive $18 a week and sec-
ond class operators from $9 a week up-
ward. The basters are to get $16 and
their helpers $12. From $10 to $14 are to
be paid to the pressers, while the week-
ly wages Of the finishers, many of whom
are women. are to range from $10 up-
ward, according to the ability of the
finisher. This scale is in some respects
lower than the. one agreed upon last
August. The pay of the second class
operators has been reduced from a min-
imum of $15 to a minimum Of $9. The
first class busters are to receive $1 a
week more than they. formerly did, and
the helpers $2 a week more.
The Wages of the pressers are lower
and those of the finishers about the
same.
Moreover, no hands will be allowed to
start at work again until the manufac— .
turer to whom their products will be
sold agrees to abide by the ten hour
day demand. The manufacturers must
also agree to be responsible for the pay-
ment by the contractors they employ
of the wages agreed upon in the con-
tract.
? The Tailors’ Ultimatum.
“These are the only conditions,” said
Schoenfeld, “upon which we will permit
the tailors to go back to work. Of
course the contractors cannot pay the .>
wages demanded by the schedule under
the existing circumstances. It will be
necessary for the manufacturers to
raise by 25 per cent the prices they
now pay the contractors for the prod-
ucts of their shops. The manufactur-
ers can easily do that, and I believe
that they will consent to. The con-
tractors are willing to pay the wages
demanded by the tailors if they can be
recompensed by a raise in the prices
paid them by the manufacturers.
“I am also confident,” continued
Schoenfeld, "that the big Broadway
manufacturers will be pleased to have
the ten hour day universally enforced.
They have stuck to it pretty well, but
they have -always declared that they
were unable to meet the competition
of the Canal street and East Broadway
manufacturers, who employed contract-
ors who would work their men from 12
to 16 hours a day. 1
“Our plan in asking the manufactur-
ers to be responsible for the wages paid
by the contractors is this: We do not,
Of course, expect them to make up in
money any breach Of faith on the
part of the contractors, but we shall
ask them, as soon as we have proof
that the contractors employed by them
are not living up to the scale of wages
agreed upon, to take the work away
from these contractors and to give
them no more in the future. Unless
the manufacturers will agree to that
plan or one equally good we will not
allow the men to go back. The con-
tractors h’ave repeatedly proved them-
selves to be irresponsible persons, and
this time we intend to bind them down
so that they will be compelled to keep
faith.”
The Probable Outcome.
It is not probable that the strikers
will return to work in a body, but
unanimous action by the 250 manufac-
turers is expected. Those manufac-
turers who agree to the schedule and
demands of the tailors, however, and
are willing to be responsible for the ac-
tions of the contractors they employ
will be permitted to start work in the
shops in which their work is done as.
soon as theysign the agreement. A few
of the manufacturers were expected
by Schoenfeld to agree to his terms at
once. In that case the men would
promptly return "to work in the shops
in which those man-ufacturers’ clothing
is made.
A number of contractors called on
Schoenfeld today. They signified their
approval of the schedule adopted by
the tailors, and said that if the manu-
facturers would make a. sufficient raise
in the prices paid them for their cloth-
ing they would be glad to open their
shops on the lines demanded by the
tailors. .
A conference was arranged between
the executive committee Of the strikers,
several of the contractors and a few of
the manufacturers. ,- - ,
It was expected that as a result some
individual settlements would be made.
Since last Saturday the ranks of the
striking tailors have been increased by
1,200 Lithuanian tailors, who went out
on Saturday night, partly in sympathy.
with the brotherhood tailors and partly
because they were dissatisfied with
their own condition.
They have not yet decided what they
want in the shape of demands. About
200 tailors of. the Progressive union also
went out yesterday. They will hold
another meeting to decide what action
It will take as a body in the strike.
It was reported today that 4,000 vest-
m'akers had also gone out in sympathy
with the brotherhood tailors. The re—
port is erroneous. though the vestmak-
ers are to hold a. meeting at which they
may decide to strike.
The big phrade and mass meeting of
the strikers at Union square scheduled
for tomorrow night has been postponed.
Schoenfeld has decidedihat it would
be better not to have the demonstra-
tion until the vestmakers and Pro-
gressive tailors shall all have gone out.
The demonstration" will probably occur
in the latter part of the week if the po-
., for $15,000, is over.

THE MAGOWAN INVESTIGATION.
Dari-311’s J ndgment Against. the Etc-Mayor
Purchased by General Skirm.
Trenton, May 25,—It is known def—
nitely today that the investigation into
the private affairs of Frank A. 1.-.-—
gowan instituted by J. Henry Darrah,
who held a judgment against Magowan
The matter was
concluded by General William H. Skirm
purchasing the judgment held by Mr.
Darrah and agreeing to pay for the
same the sum of $15,000 in three annual
instalments. ,
General Skirm gave a bond for the
payment of the money. It is said that
several business men have joined as
’sureties with General Skirm in the
bond, among them being Captain Law-
rence Farrell, Thomas Donahue, Colo-
nel Thomas A. Chambers, C. Edward
Murwray, Charles H. Baker and Barker
Gummere, Jr. These men have in turn
been amply secured against loss.
The purchase of the judgment by
General Skirm was for the purpose of
protecting his claim against lIIagowan,.
and not of aiding Magowan in any way.
THE THIS VING MESSENGER.
Reported Move to Prevent the Extradi-
tion of Albert M. King.
Farmington, Me., May 25.-——John K.
Berry of Boston and E. W. Saunders of
Lewiston, attorneys retained by S. M.
King, the father of Albert King, the ab-
sconding bank messenger, have reached
here and had an interview at a late
hour with the prisoner. Acting under
their instructions, King refuses to say
anything more about the case or to tell
what message he received from his fa-
ther through the lawyers, but it is un-
derstood that an effort will be made to
‘prevent the issue of extradition papers
on the ground that breach Of trust is
not a crime in the state Of Maine, where
proceedings in such a case, it is claimed,
could be taken only in the civil courts.
Romeyu Sentence Overruled.
Washington, May 25.——The president
has remitted the sentence of dismissal
imposed by the court martial in the
case of Captain Romeyn, Fifth infan-
try, whoif'éwas convicted recently of as- -
sault on Lieutenant O’Brien of the
same regiment, at Fort McPherson, Ga.
In“ view of the fact that Captain Ro-
meyn, will retire by operation of law on
June 1', the president believes that the
ends of justice will be secured by a se-
vere reprimand.
