ONLY TWO WERE ARRESTED.
Master Workman Danzig Captured
with the Battering Ram
in His Hand.
WILL FIGHT KNIGHTS, NOW.
Brotherhood Coatmakers Introduce
a Brand New Issue into Their
Strike To-Day.

A rather blg-sized riot broke out at
noon to-day between eight strikers OF
Kneepants- Makers Union No. 1,041, X.
of L., and the members OF the house.
hold Of Moses Schapiro, a 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 on-unlon men at work there.
Schapero locked and bolted the doors
of his shop which is on the third floor.
The strikers, led by their Master
Workman. Heyman Danzig. of 173 Attor-
ney street, thereupon used a 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
rying to the top floor of the building,
where they mingled with the workmen
In the shops and could not be disiin-
Ruished.
Danzig, the leader, however, was seen
by Policeman Heaphy with the batter
ingram in his hand. and was accord
ing!y placed under arrest
Charles Levy, of III Broome street.
was accused by Schapiro with having
struck him with an iron pipe, and he,
too. was arrested.
The prisoners were sent by Sergt.
insolvency TO the Essex Market Court.
The strike of the coatmakers In the
Brotherhood OF Tailors against the Sc 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 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
PAGES of the BrotherhJo d 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-
ferrng with the contractors, and that,
II the latter dc not accede to their de-
mands to-day, all dealings with the AS
ISOLATION al body will cease. and the
contractors will be approached individu-
ally. Indeed. this plan has already been
adopted, and about nifty contractors
have signed all the terms submitted by
the strikers, and 600 men have returned
10 work.
The X. of L. strikers. whose hostility
with the brotherhood men has several
times resulted in open acts of violence,
claim that many OF the Brotherhood
strikers work at night in shop, at %
Orchard street. The brotherhood says
that whatever strikers are at work have
a right to do so, as their bosses have
acceded TO the agreement demanded OF
them.

Louis Simon, a non-union man, who
operates a small shop, with his son, on
the second floor of IS Monroe street.
started in to work on some coats this
morning. He was Immediately visited
by a committee from the Brotherhood
and ordered TO quit work
Simon refused to do so. saying he
must earn money enough to support his
family. The Committee went down into
the street. Reinforced by a dozen more
