The Milwaukee Cigar Makers Strike
Isnded-The Situation in Other Piaees.
MILWAUKEE, June 1.-THE great strike of
the cigar makers in this city and vicinity,
which has lasted five months, is now at an
end The strikers have yielded because
plenty Of worlSmen have been secured by
the employers and BECAUSE the funds upon
which they relied have failed. The presence
in this city of Wang Lee, San Francisco
Cinnamon, to secure contracts for supply
ing cigar manufacturers here with Chinese
workmen, led to the information that nearly
every manufacturer has a complement Of
help, large portion of which has been OBJ
tanned directly from Europe.
At the manufactory Of Edward Ascher-
mann & Co. the benches are all occupied
and arrivals are so numerous that Ascher-
mann has appealed to other manufacturers
| To make room for the applicants who besiege
his establishment. SO far rs the union is
concerned the cooperative manufacturing
scheme, which promised to furnish employ
ment to the best of these idle men, has
fallen through for want OF backing and
their circumstances are becoming daily
more strditened. The Trades Assembly
funds, of which the men have absorbed an
enormous amount, are now diverted into
new channels by additional strikes. They
are nc. longer able to draw enough to live
upon and must either leave the city for chi
ployment at their profession or abandon it
entirely
CUMBERLAND, ND, June 1.-THE second
instalmcnt of l20 foreign miners for the
Consolidation Company arrived here this
afternoon, and were taken by special train
to Eckhart, where they arrived about 3 p
M, and were Immediately placed inside the
police line. Thirty special police met them
here, and the utmost precaution was taken
to protect them from the Knights Of Labor
and strikers influence while they were in
the city, the cars containing them being un-
coupled in the extreme eastern portion of
the city and there coupled to an engine,
which drew them out OF town, as was the
case with the first lot.
The special police thoroughly guarded
them t,om all outside communicate tion. On
their arrival at Eellhart the greatest excite
ment prevailed, the striking miners having
congrcgated in very large numbers, calling
to the new men inside the line to come out
and desert the company and they should
have the striking miucrs' aid and protection.
| Of course, the new laborers did not heed,
and after an hour all excitement subsided
and the strikers dispersed without an out
| break
This lot of new men includes about 40
| Swcdcs, 10 Hungarlans and the balance
|
miners in this histalment. All continues
quiet throughout the region tonight.
CLEVELAND, emo, juno TO Il. m.--
| EYerthing is quiet at Newberg, even more
so than at any time YET: The authorities
were lorcwarned late last night to look for
| trouble this morning and had military
force on hand, but the strikers kept entirely
| quiet, and few of them wele to be seen
around the works.
l p. m.-Everything remains perfectly
quiet. There has not been the slightest dis
| turbance, and more of the men are at work
than on any previous day since the strike
began. The proprietors are hopeful and
confident Of success, and tney say they have
assurances that the strikers are weakening

representing almost the entire hosiery in
dustry of the State, held here to-day,
number interested in this branch of trade
from outside the State being also present, il
was unanimously agreed that unless relic
be offered by Congress ut once the necessity
exists of suspending operations in all the
mills.
Ii was decided to use all honorable means
to induce Congress to correct the error made

turers in Cincinnati, stating that they were
in hearty accord in the matter.
| CHICAGO, ILL, June 1.-THE South and

pectedly refused to accept the compromise

Works. Seventy-fve mouldcrs demand the
