MUST NOT STOP TIE SMELLS.
Striking Tailors Enjoined by
Judge Dugro.
Ordered to Cease Patrolling In
Front OF shops.

The war between the merchant tailors
OF the Fifth avenue district and their
journeymen tailors has become so bitter
that the employers, healed by the firm
of John Patterson 4 Co. have procured
an Injunction restraining their former
employees from interfering with those
now engaged and from patrolling In front
OF shops.
This Is a result OF the strike inaugu-
rated some time ago, because of re-
duction OF IL per cent In wages. The
merchant tsiiors allege that just as
soon Us they got non-unlon men to take
the places OF the strikers. the latter or
ganized a system of patrol.ing In front
OF the shops for the purpose of urging
new men not to take the places of the
| strikers.
1t is even asserted that some pre-.
sumptuous tailors stopped the swells as
they were going into, the shop and
requested thar they should not order
non union made sul.s. This, together
with circulars which ne strikers sen.
be cen union and non-union men. final
| ly drove the merchant tailors, 80 they
say, to take some action.

Among the representatives of flrm'
that applied for the injunction were
John Patterson. Forrest McNee. Alfret
Nelson. Matthew Rock and James 7
Pettus. They were represented In cour
by Lawyers Hastings h Gleason.
The journeymen tailors claim theil
simply to harass then and keep then
