|RTMAKERS AHEAD.
Ten Contractors Sign the New
Agreement.
Their Employees Will Now Make
SO or SO a Week.
Others of the Contractors Are Being
Urged to Submit.

The Executive Committee Of the Shirt
Makers Union reported to-day that the
prospect of winning the strike now in
progress Is bright. Ten contractors have
signed an agreement to pay the new
scale of prices, which will enable the
workers to make so per cent. more wages
than formerly, or about So or 80 a week
each, ten hours being the limit OF a
workday. The Committee Is in negotia-
tion with other contractors who are OK
pected to enter into the new arrange
ment.
The Contractors Association sent a re-
quest to the Executive Committee of the
Union that the cooperative shops be
abolished, as they were detrimental to
the interests of the contractors because
they were competitors. These co-opera-
tive shops are formed by members OF
the Union and have no middleman to
take away the profits of their labor
The contractors thought 1t would be I'M
fair to ask them to pay the new scale
IL the cooperative shops were contin-
ued.
The unions committee would not dis
cuss the matter, nor give an answer for
who run the cooperative shops are
members of the union. who have had to
contend against the competition and
starvation wages heretofore paid by
the contractors.
Subsequently a committee of the con-
tractors announced to the union commit
tee that the Contractors Association
had split. One half of the members, 1t
was stated requested the union commit
tee to furnish them with the Hebrew
price-nst for making shirts. and the
Committee promised to give an answer
before the close of the day. The other
division Of the contractors wanted the
Union to aid them in obtaining equal
sale dealers and jobbers. The Union COM
mittee Is to discuss this request and re-
turn an answer as soon as possible.
The girl pickets continue to do effective
work, but one of them was arrested last
evening for remaining near Lowry &
Sons shop, ATT Broadway, and endeavor-
ing to persuade some of the remaining
hands there to join the strikers. She
was released shortly afterward.

each pupil wrote the words as directed
by the master. After the rule had
been clearly written at the top of a
page the sums" under that rule were
also given out and in turn placed in the
manufactured book. At the conclusion
of the term each pupil thus had his
own arithmetic, that is, as far as he
had gone, for classification was almost
unknown, and in school of twenty
pupils forty classes were by no means
uncommon Writing was done from a
copy set by the master, the writing or
copy books being of the same nature as
the arithmetic folios. The home flock
of geese was plundered for pens, and
when the feathers were brought to the
school by the pupils, they were manu-
featured into pens by the ready knife

pile of pens that would not write, !"
and consequently needed immediate
attention. Progress in "ciphering"
seldom went further than the rule of

as to the merits of arithmetic in general
was very aptly expressed by bit Of

Division is as bad;
