WILL FIGHT KNIGHTS, NOW.

rather big-sized riot broke out at
noon to-day between eight strikers of
Kneepants-Makers' Union No. 1,04l, K.
of L., and the members of the mousse
hold OF Moses Schapiro, contractor, at
Pelham street.
The strikers had called at the con-
tractors shop and demanded admittance
in order to be allowed to parley with
some non-unton men at work there.
Schapiro locked and bolted the doors
Of his shop which is OH the third floor
The strikers, led by their Master
Workman. Heyman Danzig. of l73 Attor-
ney street. thereupon used beam of
wood as a ram and battered in the door,
At this point Policemen Tom Heaphy,
Mccarthy and Sheehan, of the Madison
street station, came to the scene of the
disturbance, and sent the rioters sour
ryng to the top floor of the building
where they mingled with the workmen
in the shops and could not be distin-
guished.
Danzig, the leader, however was seen
by Policeman Heaphy with the batter
ingram in his hand. and was accord
ingly placed under arrest.
Charles Levy, of l12 BroOme street,
was accused by schapiro with having
too, was arrested.
The prisoners were sent by Sergt
McSweeney TO the Essex Market Court,
where they were he'd in $500 bail for
Special Sessions.
The strike of the coatmakers in the
Brotherhood Of Taiiors against the So per
week and eighteen hours per day task sys-
tenn 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 satisfactory adjustment,
the strikers demand that Knights of
Labor tailors be barred from working in
tae 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, AMI also claim that they filled the
PAGES of the Brotherhood men when the
strike first began.
This is the rock wherein all negotia-
tons 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 as a body will cease, and the
contractors will be approached individu-
ally. Indeed, this plan has already been
adopted, and up to O'Clock this after
noon u contractors had signed all the
terms submitted by the strikers, and
about l,sOO men will thereby be enabled
TO return to work
The strikers believe that the Con-
tractors Association will become de-
morazed by these tactics. No COM
mittee was sent by the strikers to-day
to confer with the Association, although
The latter requested conference.
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 y
Orchard street. The Brotherhood says
mat whatever strikers are at work nave
right to do 50, as their bosses have
them.
