The strike Of the coatmakers in the.
Brotherhood of Tailors against the Sc per
week and eighteen hours per day task sys-
TEN presents new complications now
which render it very improbable that any
immediate settlement will be arrived at.
Now that the question of the bonds
which are demanded Of the contractors
as security for their faithful perform
ance of the agreement with the strikers
is approaching a satisfactory adjustment.
The strikers demand that knights OF
Labor tailors be barred from working in
the shops of the Clothing Contractors
Association. {
They base this demand on two grounds.
They say that the X of L. coat cutters
are suspended members of the Brother
hood, and also claim that they filled the
places of the Brotherhood men when the
strike first began.
This is the rock wherein all negotia-
| tions now threaten to split. The strik-
ers say that they have wearied Of con-
| ferring with the contractors, and that.
II the latter do not accede to their de-
mands to-day, all dealings with the AS
ISOLATION al a body will cease, and the
contractors will be approached individu-
| ally Indeed, this plan has already been
| adopted, and about fifty contractors
! have signed all the terms submitted by
the strikers, and 600 men have returned
| to work.
The X. of l.. strikers, whose hostility
] with the brotherhood men has several
times resulted in open acts Of violence,

strikers, work at night in a shop at 70

q right to do so, as their bosses have

Simon refused to do so, saying he
