The Health authorities decided this MORN
ing TO take summary action IN the case OF

IT MAY Be SETTLED TO-DAY.
0YVrtureS Made to Striking Cloak
makers by Two Firms.

There is a prospect that the strike OF the
1000 cloakmakers, cutters, tsilors and
pressers In the shops OF julius Stein & Co., at
507 Broadway, Friedman Brothers, at 33o
Canal street, and Benjamin Co., at 465
Broome street, may be settled to-day.
At the headquarters OF the Consolidated
Board OF Cloak-CutteTs and Operators, which
ordered the strike, 1t was said this morning
that already two OF the firms whose men went
out yesterday had made overturcs towards
effecting a settlement, and II was expected
that tho third concern would be heard from
before the day had passed.
Dion W. Burke, the walking delegate OF
the Cutters Union, said TO an EVENING
WORLD reporter this morning, that the strike
could not last much over to-day, as far as the
three manufacturers are concerned. This was
the busiest part OF the season, as the styles
for next Winter were now being made up.
"The strike" said Delegate Burke, ais the
result Of low wages. The firm OF Friedman
brothers have been paying lower wages than
any other irm, and they have consequently
been able to und, ell other houses We have
been trying % make terms with the Fried
mans for some time, but failed.
"As for stein Co, this nrm has for some
time been endeavoring 10 make its factory
non-uniOn. Several OF ITS men were asked TO
leave the Union, and when they refused TO do
so were discharged
"Benjamin Co. have been employing nom
union men, and our men refused 20 work with
them"
Delegate Burke said further that there was
little likelihood that the strike would be eX-
tended, as the other manufacturers and the
unions were on the best OF terms.
