STRIKERS ARE 0BDURATE.
They Reject the Concessions Made
Yesterday by Contractors.
Declare They VIII Win without
Arbitration Boards Help.

The contmakers Of the Brotherhood OF
Tailors, who are striking against the
task" or Sweating" system, have re-
jected the terms offered by the Clothing
Contractors Mutual Protective Associ-
alton.
These terms, although expressed In
different words, were virtually Identical
with the demands embodied in the
agreement submitted by the strikers.
When the State Board of Arbitration
yesterday at the conference in the
Broadway Central Hotel succeeded In
obtaining from the Association
the concession that only week
wages were to be paid
to the exclusion of piece work, such as
is performed only by the X. Of l..
tailors, and that a bond was to be de-
posted in safe deposit company as
security for the faithful carrying out
OF the Associations promises. 1t was
thought that the strike would be ended.
The members OF the Executive Commit
tee OF the strikers who were present at
the conference said that they were not
empowered to ratify any settlement that
might be brought about by the Arbitra-
tlon Commissioners until the consent Of
the whole Executive Board had been OBJ
tained. Accordingly. recess was taken

to confer with their colleagues, and then
report back to the Arbitration Board
The Commissioners waited a long time
yesterday afternoon, but the strikers
representatives did not return. This
morning one of them, Abe Harrison,
said to an Evening WORLD reporter:
1--WE don't care for arbitration. We
are willing to fight without 1t. Arbitra-
ton Will only .protract the strike. BY
next week. without the Intervention OF
the Board OF Arbitration. there will not

Meyer Schoenfeld. the leader of the
strikers. said that Louis Herman and
Charles Lyons, members of the Execu-
tive Board of the Contractors Associa-
ton. had bolted from their orga IMITATION
and signed the strikers agreement and
bond on the latter's own terms.
Indeed" he added. I'VE don't expect
a single contractor to be out OF line In
coming over to us by Monday"
The cloakmakers' strike Is still on.
Every day witnesses a few settlements
and also a few new strikes to offset
them.

The Yacht Racing Association COM
mittee has been discussing the matter
Of limiting the rating of large class
yachts, and an attempt to revive sixty
raters has been suggested.

1t proceeds to advocate the eighty-rating
class, which would accord with Ameri-
can views on the subject and afford a
fine opportunity of having a fleet OF
eighty-raters from which to choose an
American Cup challenger or a Victoria
Cup defender.
At all events It would be well, now
that there Is talk of international rules,
to get an international classification as
well. In fact, this is quite as important
as the rating rule. and the sooner ne

100000 Acres Annually.
1t is estimated that $1,000 acres of
forest land are cleared every year, and
that In the ten years previous to 1876
900 acres were burned over simply
to clear the land. Ten years ago It
was estimated that the timber OF New
York was disappearing at the rate of
10000 acres year. Since then laws
