STOPPED WORK.
Garment Workers Big Strike
in Boston.
By The A ssocidted Prcs

BOSTON, Sept. 20.-Acting upon the i'm
structions OF the Clothing Trades Coun-
Gil No. 2, the clothing operatives of this
city, to the number of 1000, struck work
this morning, and 1t Is supposed tonight
there Will not be clothing contractor
able to continue business and that $500
operatives will be idle.
Promptly at Z o'clock this morning the
committee having charge OF the strike
started on their rounds and called the
men out Systematically, not contractor
being overlooked. This action is the re-
suit Of the refusal OF number of contrac-
tors to concede to the demands of the
union for the adjustment of dumping"
and sweating" systems and the intro
duction of weekly wage system. The
operatives are also desirous OF establis hing
working day OF nine hours with fixed
wages. Many of the contractors when
seen by the committee from the union
agreed To grant their demands and
it was hoped that the innovation would
go into effect without a conflict. But
they reconsidered the matter and last
night many notified the committee that
they would not have anything to do with
the union.
This precipitated the strike. The mem
bers OF the strike committee are jubiant
over their work as every man, woman
ana child responded to the call.
Ii was expected there would be
some difficulty with the Italian
and Lithuanian workmen but they
responded as readily as the others. The
headquarters of the garment workers was
crowded all day with an excited and en-
thusias:ic body of men and women
who declare they will not re-
turn to their benches and ma
chimes under the old conditions.
Many of the contractors have work half
finished on their hands and heavy orders
ahead. Some have already made applica-
tion to sign the new agreement and their
requests will possibly be considered.
The executive committee of the strik-
ers have established headquarters in
Electrotypers Hall, 40 Eliot street, and
have already been in conference with a
number OF contractors. Arrangements
have been made for monster
mass meeting of tailors to be held in
Wells Memorial Hall late this afternoon.
Every tailor shop in the city is closed and
a subcommittee has gone to East Boston,
Chelsea, South Boston and other suburbs
TO call out the men in the shops there.
kilograms have been sent New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and other large
clothing making centres, explaining the
situation here and requesting the opera
tives to refuse to make any Boston cloth
ing.
The strikers say that they expect long
and bitter struggle and are prepared
for it.

FINAL SESSION.
The Mule Spinners Vote for Personal
Assessments.
BY the Associated Press.

BosToN, Sept. 20.-The final session of
the National Mule Spinners' annual con-
vention was held in Puritan Hall this
forenoon. A long discussion took place
on the report of the local treas
urers and the opportunities for levy
ing assessments. Ii was stated
that there was 100000 in the local treas
uries and it was voted to assess each mem
ber of the union 80 cents per week which
would, it is estimated, bring in $1,000 per
week.
The New Bedford, Fall River and Dover,
n. H., unions were given permission to
use their local funds in behalf OF the
strikers and it was voted to put 900 in
the national treasury ensuring fund
TO continue the fight against the mill
owners indefinitely. 1t was decided
that il the strikes continue three
weeks longer to raise the assessment to 81
per week for each union spinner and
place the strikes in the hands OF the
National Union, which would give every
striker benefit of g per week.
Robert Howard and Secretary Ross
were empowered to visit President
Gompers OF the American Fedora
Zion of Labor and request that an
appeal for funds be sent out to the
900 members affiliated with that body.
This committee was also given power TO
appoint delegates from New Bedford,
Fall River and Dover, n. H., to
solicit subscriptions to be turned
into the National Treasury. The
election of a delegate to the American
Federation OF Labor convention in De-
cember was laid over, as It was thought
that another convention would be held
before that time. The convention then
adjourned, subject to the call OF the Sec
retary.

When Baby Put on Pants.


It's day we all remember, and it's scene of
solemn state
Still casts CLEAN of sadness, when at home
we oongregate,
For baby form is missing, and no childish
prattle grants
Its music sweet, refreshing, since the baby put
on pants.
Twas transformation truly, and 1t marked
an epoch grave,
1t took away dear babyland and boyhood to us
gave;
The change could be discovered with the
slightest kind of glance
AT the pride flushed face of baby-that day he
put on pants
1t closed the door of lullaby and opened wide
the gate
That leads from arms Of mother to the hill Of
mans estate;
The light of dawning future cross the fragrant
pathway slants
VI baby and inthralls him-on the day he put
on pants.
