SHOE WORKERS TO STRIKE.
Demand For u Restoration of Prices
Prior to 1892,


Haverhill, Mass. Dec. 27.-With 80
per cent. of the shoe workers OF this
city earning less than 81 week, the
International Labor union made a de-
mand on manufacturers that they
should restore the prices that existed
before the panic in 1892, the shoe in
dustry being at the present time at its
height. The machine lasters We're cal
led out but no compromise could be
effected. The affair eliminated when
w. w. Spaulding, the largest manu-
eacturer OF the city, locked out all his
former workmen because they attend
ed the labor rally. The labor strikers
and locked out men formed. a parade
last night and marched TO the shoe
district, when the stitchers at Spauld-
ing's quit work and they joined in the
demand for more wages as well as the
parade. The strikers declare that the
present fight is to establish a uniform
list Of prices, and in this, although
they have only grievances against a
few manufacturers, all the shoe fac
tories will be concerned.
During a $4,000 contiagration. the
fourth parade of the day was formed
tanned 400 men, but was increased by
as many thousands when it reached
the hall. Here inflammatory speeches
were delivered by the labor leaders
and Armenian. Polish, Hebrew and
French anarchists, who urged the men
to come out and join the strikers. The
line of parade was ablaze with fire
works and was headed by a band.
The general strike will not be order.
ed until this afternoon and the manu-
Gacturers have until noon to restore
the former price list. This strike will
affect nearly 5000 men and women,
who claim that no compromise will be
accepted, but that the fight will be to
the end. A contract system now In
vogue in the larger factories which
keeps the foreign element down must
De broken, say the men, or 1T will ex-
tend through all the shoe world. The
strikers were orderly and no violence
was offered,

ANTHONY CoMsToCK's DENIAL.


he Chzracterizes Streep's Statement
as Infamous Perjury.
Summit, n j., Dec. Anthony
Comstock said tonight:
IF Streep made any such statement
before the Lexow committee it is rank
and infamous perjury. Sfreep was first
arrested by the police for oarr5lag on
insufficient TO sustain an indictment
so was sent for and went through
my evidence He was held in $4,000 in
the coSft OF general sessions. He for
feited the bail by going to Europe.
While he was a fugitive from Justice
the case was dismissed. After time
he returned TO this country. He told
me Edward Bechtel was the man who
was principal in the green goods circu-
lar distribution affair. He made an
affidavit accusing Beehtel and told me
SO much about him that was salts
fed THAT Streep was going TO play me
false. After several weeks, however,
Bechtel was arrested by me.
stAt the time of Bechtel's examina-
ton Streep went on the stand and
sWore positively that he did not know
everything he had said when ne was
making the oath before me. Therefore
that which he swore to in open court
was base perjury. demanded that
the case be dismissed. Subsequently
caused Streep to be arrested on the
old charge.
'.streep was subsequently, convicted
and sentenced to eighteen months In
prison. I learned that Bechtel had
called on Streep the night previous TO
his own examination and had offered
Streep a sum Of money not to testify
against him. That is all about the
Streep and Bechtel case"

weather bureau. Rain or snow has
fallen generally east Of the Mississippi.
while from the west of that river, cold
weather and high winds are advancing.
Bismarck leads the cold weather sta
lions with % below, and it is Is below

signals are displayed all along the At
1antic and Gulf coasts. Damage to

ity will range from 20 to 70 miles an
