morning, and called on the solicitor and
the secretary. When he visited the secre-
tary he was accompanied by Charley Reed.

against his compromise, but the questions

tied in day or two, though Mr.. Hesing has
not, so far as Is known, employed Richard
Crowley, M. c., to arrange the compromise
and his employment of George Bliss would
be confession that he could pay the iudg-

CIeAR.MAKERs' STRIKE.
The Cigar Makers Progressive union,
whose men are on q strike from ). Otter
berg & Brothers factory at No. $40 East
Twenty-third street, New York, hold out in
spite Of threatened lockout. Thursday
night, unless they have returned to work,
fifteen of the most important factories in the
city, employing more than 1000 men, will
stop work, turning out union and non-union
men alike. There Is little chance that the
lockout will be averted. The trouble in OF
that the men would no longer take their
pay in trade dollars. The firm agreed to
pay legal tender, but stipulated that the
week should thereafter close on Thursday
instead of Friday, as it would be more diff.
flcult to make up the pay list in bills. OF
the employees 205 are progressive union men
and 30 are International union men. The
members of the Progressive union went on
a strike. OF the 1000 men in these fac
tories, the packers and shippers belong to
neither union. OF the union men, 2, 500 only
are members of the Progressive union

ed from several of the factories Monday
Secretary Moytisek said that the Otterbergs
were hard firm for the cigar-makers to get
along with. They had been paying their
men wholly in trade dollars and had four
strikes the past year. Frank Mccoy, presi-
dent of the United Manufacturers associa-
ton, said that the fight was really between
the Progressive and International men, and
was due to their jealousy of one another.
