Nearly Eight Hundred l\Ien Have Return- ed to Work at Increased “Gages—Mid- dlemen Must Respect Agreement or Suffer the Consequences. .~ New York, May 27.—A big, breakhas occurred in the opposition the manu- facturers have offered to the east side tailors now on strike. Thirteen em— ployers, several of them among the largest in the city. yielded today to the. demands of the strikers, and as fast as the contractors they employ could sign the agreements the men went back to work. Nearly 800 tailors returned to their places before noon, and fully 500 more went back, victorious, during the after- noon. The manufacturers who surrendered . to the strikers and signed an agreement by which they held themselves respon-, sible for the actions of their contractors for a year were .B- Ber'stein, a whole- sale and retail' manufacturer of 626 Broadway; Cohen & Levy, wholesalers and retailers of 97 and 99 Bleecker street; Frecheimer, Fishel & Co.,whole- salers of 746 to 750 Broadway; M. Cohen & 00;, retailers at 62 East Broad- way; S.- L. Goldstein, a. retailer at 73 Canal street; Bendt, Isaacs & C0,, wholesalers at 4 Great Jones street; Moe Levy, a retailer at 119 and 121 ‘Walker street; Marcus Bros, retailers at 97 Canal street; B. Needle, a Whole- saler at 95 Broadway; Schulman & Son, retailers at 134 Canal street; Schaltman Bros, wholesalers at 6, 8 and 10 Great Jones street; H. Hamilton, a wholesaler at 648 Broadway, and Davidson & Blankfort, wholesalers at 738 Broad— way. , Some of these manufacturers called upon Meyer Schoenfeld, the leader of the strike, last night and signed the agreement, while others yielded today. The 13 manufacturers employ about 75 contractors to do their work, and as soon as they signed the contract their contractors were also summoned. Six- teen of them appeared. They put their signatures to the doc- ument demanding for their help a ten hour day, work by the week and pay by the week on the scales formulated by the strikers. The 800 men employed by them were then told that they might return to work, which they did with alacrity. Every manufacturer who ' signed the agreement promised to ad- vance the prices paid his contractors from 20 to 25 per cent, so that the con- tractors would in their turn be able to meet the advances demanded by the strikers. StrikersaJubilant. This break in the ranks of the manu— facturers was the first actual encour- agement that the strikers have had since they went out ten days ago, and it threw them into a state of ecstasy, which they demonstrated with many gesticulations. Every one now believes that there is a good prospect that other manufacturers will follow in the steps of the 13, and that within less than a month all the strikers will have gone back victorious to their places. The agreement which the manufac- turers are compelled to sign reads as follows: "In consideration of premises, and in order to induce the tailors, now strik- ing against the contractors, employed by — as above, to return to work to their respective employers, on condi— tion that the latter comply with the above demands of the striking tailors, the undersigned hereby agree that, upon being duly advised by the afore- said organization that such a' contrac- tor or contractors have failed.to com— ply with any of the aforesaid demands of the striking tailors, then and in such event they shall and will, within seven days thereafter, discharge such con- tractor or contractors from their em- ploy, and shall not re-employ him or them until such a time as they shall have been duly advised that he or they have acceded to the demands of the said organization.” The ramifications of the strike have extended into eastern Connecticut. A committee from the tailors and jacket makers in this city visited New London, and. Chesterfield and found that some of the local manufacturers were getting work done up there. They also discov— ered that the condition of the tailors in those towns was, in their opinion, worse than it was here, and they finally per- suaded them to order a strike. About 500 men went out, 300 in Chesterfield and 200 in New London. To Help the Needy. _ : h The executive committee today inter- ested itself directly in behalf of the des- titute among the strikers. It sent out a general appeal to all grocers and, butch- ers doing business in sweatshop sections of the east side, asking them to‘ trust the strikers for necessary supplies dur- ing the next two weeks. The circulars stated that at the close of the strike the organization would hold itself re- sponsible as a body for all bills that might thus be incurred. While the prospects for the tailors are brightening, the outlook for the jacket makers, who went out with the tailors, continues to darken. The contractors for whom the jacket makers worked today formed an asso— ciation for the purpose of resisting the demands of the strikers. Only 'five settlements have thus far been effected, and the leaders them- selves do not look for any more in the immediate future. The partial success of the strikers has not overcome their tendency to riot. Two fights occurred on the east side today. One of the striking tailors was the aggressor in one of them. ' He worked for David Moloska, a contract. or at 125 Delancey street, before the strike began and declares that Moloska ‘ owes him $17. He went to his shop to collect the money. Moloska‘ was not there, and he was finally traced to a. grocery shop at 801/2 Ludlow street. The striker and some 15 fellow strik- ers whom he had collected walked into the shop and the striker going straight, up to Moloska hit him a. blow in the face. He followed it up- with ether IHlows and occasional kicks, while his companions urged him on. The 'con- tractor was helpless, but he managed to escape through ,a. rear door. ‘ ’ - (AMERICAN KIDNEY CURE.” norE__ steam. } ‘ " Mothers Keep :l'hemfliBut With a Little Light There Need Be None, How carefully mother guards the se- crets of her boys and girls. At night as She carefully tucks the bed cloths found them she chides and warns thlt mother will be angry if they repeat last night’s offense, softly saying to her- self it’s only a habit, but I must break them of it. This is mother’s mistake. The children cannot help it, and sweet, clean dry beds can be the resting place of every child when it is understood that the cause is not a habit but a weak- ness that can becured. Active life of the little ones tends to weakening the kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina- bility to retain the urine. This is a condition not a habit, and should have the same prompt attention you would disease. One Doan ’sKidney pill, taken twice a day and at bedtime, will strengthen the kidneys of a ‘child, and in a short time there will be no cause to scold, for these-called habit will disappear promptly. Here’s a grateful mother that adds her endorsement to our words: Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130 Colony street, Me1iden, Conn. , says: “My little boy of ten years of age has the kidney s, causing him to wet the bed. So many mothers punish their children for this, but I know he could not help it. I read about Doan s Kidney Pills curing incontinence of urine in adults and I thought they might help the lit- tle fellow. I p1 ocu1 ed a box and their use produced a marked benefit at once. It is very seldom he does it now and I shall continue giving him Doan' s Kid- ney Pills until the kidneys are sound and strong. It' is only out of gratitude that I permit publication, abut the trouble is a very prevalent one and most people fi1om modesty or diiiidence do nor. speak of it.
