Two of the New Men Captured
tees Watching Trains.
Thsre are jubilant carriage msksrs IN wash-
ington today. Yesterday the arm of Andrew
Joycss Sons had q force At work that was at
least partially satisfactory in point of numbers;
'oaay TWO coach trimmerspacked up their tools
aha len the factory-chsrmed by the array Of
statements presented them by the committee
OF strikers and convinced that they ought not
longer to remain in = shop which the old en-
pioyes claim a. theirs by right This was some
tning OF q surprise 10 the Messrs. Joyce, but
they 90 not appear TO have changed their views
or determinations.
throughout the greater portion Of yesterday
u least two or three members Of the strikers
persuasive" committee were to be found in
the immediate vicinity of the Joyce factory
and they were neither obtrusive or offensive.
AneH acuvity was apparent about O'Clock,
when, reinforced by several members of the
Plate Printers Assembly, they approached
| two OF the new men-coach trim
mers. batteries Of argument were
opened on the strangers and some impression
was made. When the committee got through
with them Mr.. q. W. Joyce went to their home
and talked to them Of his side OF the case.
After MIR. Joyce had departed the committee
called once more and this time its work was
crowned with success Today the two men
were at the factory when Mr.. Joyce arrived.
COULD NOT STAND IT.
A brief conversation ensded, in which the
Philadelphians said they could not stand the
harassing tactics Of the strikers. Whenever
either OF the new men moved around on the
streets he was followed as closely as though he
had been criminal and not unnatur-
ally the continuous espionage was distaste-
ful. Both men were DESTROYS Of securing
employment at Joyces. IL such n thing was pos

paid the one days wages due each Of them and
left the office, but not the city. tits their pur-
pose to watch the progress of events in con-
nection with the lockout, and they es-
pecially interested in the conference which il
to take place in the office Of the Messrs. Joyce
tomorrow evening at $50.
THE CONFERENCE TOMORROW.
The locked-out workmen are building good
deal more Of a structure upon that conference
than the foundation will safely permit Neither
OF tho Messrs. Joyce will say anything as to the
spirit in which they will enter the conference,
but in general way any one who converses
with them can readily see that
they are determined to keep the old
employees out at any cost Nothing less than
complete reorganization of their factory 10
on their present plans. The idea that the firm

strikers will almost certainly turn out to be
1.-The baselsss fabric Of a vision" Not few
people who are not at all directly interested in
the struggle would like to see the matter

work, but the feelings Of the employers will
have to undergo a right-about-face change be.
fore such thing is possible. There may be
one or two of the strikers who would be well
coined to the factory, but they are the only
N afon1 nhov, for
employment by the Joyces.
FOLLOWING PHELPS.
The first exhibition of turbulence on the
part of the strikers occurred yesterday evening
when Phelps left the factory. In the planning
for the strike Phelps was kept in entire igno-
rance OF tho scheme, and not until the last
moment was he told of what was going on,
Being under deep obligations to the firm he
refused to go out, and yesterday evening when

them even followed him on to Georgetown
car and went TO the trouble Of loudly inform
ing the conductor and passengers as to his
identity.
NEW MEN EXPECTED.
Men to take the places vacated this morning
are expected within day or two. Yesterday
Mr.. Saunders, one Of the men who would not
strike, was sent to Philadelphia to see several
men who had written for situations Mr. Saun-
ders was instructed to explain the situation to
all applicants 80 that there could not possibly
be any IN Misunderstanding. A member Of the
strikers committee followed Saunders TO the
city OF brotherly love and will do his utmost
to prevent the expectation of carriage makers
from that somnolent summer resort to the ma
ti0nal capital.
GONE TO NEW YORK.
This morning the junior member of the
frm-Mr. Il. E. Joyce-left on the limited for
New York, where he will consult with friend
in the carriage-building business as to how q
satisfactory and permanent working force may
best be obtained. No man will be brought to
this city under false pretenses, say the Messrs.
Joyce, and this pieases the strikers for they
are confident that no man worth having will
come here II he ia conversant with the precise
situation.
WATCHING TRAINS
Every train that came in yesterday was
watched by portions OF the committee ap-
pointed by Coach Makers Assembly, X. of L.,
but no suspects arrived
The executive committee Of the assembly has
come to the conclusion that il any Of the
strikers are taken back by the Joyce's all must
go. They say there shall DO no half way
measures.
SYMPATHY OF THE PLAsTRRRRs.
Plasterers' Assembly has joined the Plate
Printers Assembly in declaring itself ready to
