GREAT STRIKE IN NEW YORK.
Fully 5000 Employees Of Cigar Manu-
fScfnFerS idle Tn.Aaw

NEW YORK. Jan. 2O.-Nine Thousand cigar
makers and other employees OF the trade en-
ployed by the Cigar Manufacturers association
are idle to-day. The direct cause of the trouble
IS the refusal OF the employees of Levy Bros TO
to declare their strike against the new uniform
price list OF and return to work. The employers
have banded themselves together to resist this
demand. In nearly all the fifteen shops cigar
packers are still ut work finishing up what
STOCK Is made up on the tables. In q few shops
they will have finished tonight and then they
will quit work until the difficulty is settled. By
tomorrow the packers in all the shops will
have Joined the ranks Of the strikers.
The strike extends to the cigar box
making trade. When the packers quit work
tae number on strike will have been swelled to
they have sufficient stock made up to I'LL their
orders for several months to come. The pack.
ers going out, they said, would not deter them
nom supplying TO their customers the stock
now made up but not packed. President Mccoy,
OF the manufacturers association, denied that
the firm of Lichtenstein Bros had intimated
their desire to withdraw from the association.
