Movement Against Low Wages.
Mass Meetings Called to Discuss
Ways and Means.

Shrtmakers to the number Of 1900
are preparing for general strike
against the present low wages and the
sweating system. The workers in three
shops, who struck yesterday for an in
crease of four cents a dozen, sounded
the keynote in all the sweat shops on
the east side, and, coupled with the
success of the coatmakers and the
cloakmakers, the shrtmakers-a far
more impoverished lot than the men
and women who have just won a signal
victory-feel sufficiently encouraged to
begin a general movement all along the
line.
They are organized fairly we'll in local
assemblies of the Knights OF Labor and
In Independent unions, but there are
many shirtmakers who are so dependent
upon the sweaters that they are in alb
ject fear of losing the scant wages they
are permitted to earn. These wages do
not average 50 a week: the hours of work
are many, and the sweat shops miser-
able, ill-ventilated rooms In crowded
nelghborhoods
A mass-meeting OF the shirtmakers
will be held next Friday night in Wal
halla Hall, 50 Orchard street, and also
in Washington Hail. a few doors above.
The subject of a general strike will be
discussed and the aid of the labor or
