May Order Further Strike.

New York. November a0.-Perhaps the
most important matter that came up for
consideration at today's session of the
United Garment Workers of America. was
the question of ordering strike of the
garment workers of Baltimore. The matter
was referred to committee
A resolution was introduced that the con-
vention levy a special assessment of 50
cents on each member, the money to be
giren to the striking cloak makers and cut
tiers.
The garment workers claim the con-
tractors Of New York and Brooklyn recent
ly dropped about SEQ union men, giving as
an excuse that they do not have sufficient
work to keep them busy. The men out of
employment on this account claim that this
step is A scheme on the part of the MANU-
tactureIs to cause another strike, and they
allege that further the contractor have
combined among themselves to cause a
strike as preliminary measure toward the
inal overthrow of the present ten hour sys-
TEN and the substitution therefor of the
old tenement house sweating system.

FIGHT IN AN ELEVATED CAR.
Three Women Swooned and Men Tram
pied Upon One Another.

New York, November 20.-One of the most
disgraeeful lows even seen on the elevated
road occurred last night on the Sixth
avenue train which arrived at 125 street at
midnight.
Two of the passengers, one of whom was
Intoxicated, got into an arg ument, in wnieh
the vilest language was used. Shortly after
passing Fifty-ninth street the men came 10
blows and then the utmost confusion en-
sued.
Men trampled over one another, and
women screamed. and three of them falntea
ard were taken 10 another car.
At last thick set man, who raid he was
A detective. came from another car ana
recognized one of the combatants as
friend and separated the men.
Conductor No. 20. did his best to quell the
fight but had to stop ths train at Seventy
second street, where it ST God for more than
five minutes while policeman was sought
for in vain.
The detective succeeded. after Fassshard
struggle in getting his friend. who said his
name was Grant, off the car. He was
spirited through the crowd which thronged
the platform, and succeeded in getting into
the cab of the engine unobserved, except by
the detective.
The other man, who was thought to have
escaped also, managed to hide himself In
the crowd and boarded the train again on
the rear platform.
He was seen again by the conductor. who
held the train at Eighty-6rst street and
called policeman. The man was then put
of.
At ll6 street Grant, who declared he had
a 'spull'' with Police Captain Mu1 ply, ana
who said he would be out in five minutes
even if be had been locked up, left the
train with his detective friend, who told
him to keep his mouth shut.
Grant, however, told him he was not
afraid and informed the conductor he was
known all along the line.

May Blockade Traffic.

Duluth, Mimi, November 20-The mercury
went down to degrees below zero Sunday
night, and yesterday morning tho harbor
was covered with sheet of ice three inches
thick. 1t will take, however, ten days OF
such weather, or even more, to effectually
block navigation here, and as long as the
500 canal and river remain open traffic will
be moved forward. Altogether there is a
large quantity of freight yet to be carried
down the lakes, and the cold snap has
caused no little apprehension among ship
pers, as the temperature moderates but a
little.
There are 1,50J GOO bushels of wheat yet to
go forward, 100000 barrels of -four and at
least %, 900 tons of ore. The lumber move
ment- has been practically wound up.
