SrEBENvILLE, April S.-The strike OF the
journeymen tailors, inaugurated last MOI
day. when the merchant tailors refused 10
sign the new scale of the men, Is assuming
interesting features. None OF the men
have worked this week and they evident
lv are firm in the determination TO stand
ont for the scale as presented by them.
The only merchant tailor in the city VINO
has signifed a disposition or willingness 10
accede to the demands OF the men is MIL
Ter, the North Main street tailor III looks
very much as II he would sign. lie con-
ducts an exclusive merchant tailoring es-
tablishment, and will either have to sign or
close his doors until the strike Is over. de
was the first to sign the scale last year:
ON Friday the Executive Committee OF
the iourneymen tailors Of the city publish
ed card in the papers setting forth that
no tailors were working in this city, and
that any custom made work turned out
was sent to New York TO be made
I'D in the sweat shops OF that
citv. and that it was better for the people
IN puy hand-me-down suits at once than TO
nav for custom work and have sweatshop
suits put off on them. The card also called
attention to the fact that any suit mace oy
union labor would have the union Label In
the pocket. Neither the men or the mer-
chants show any disposition to give IN, ana
there is no telling when the strike VIII
end. In the meantime, the fellows VINO
aren't fortunate enough TO have already
obtained their spring suits are wondering
when they are going 10 get them.
