SHINTMAKERS AHEAD.
Ten Contractors Sign the New
Agreement.
Their EmpioS ees Will Now Max
So or 50 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 80 per cent. more wages
than formerly. or about IS or SO a week
each. ten hours being the limit of a
workday. The Committee is in negotia-
ton 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-
dive 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
If the cooperative shops were contin-
ued.
The unions committee would not dis
cuss the matter, nor give an answer for
the reason that the men and women
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 Associa ton
had split. One half of the members, II
was stated. requested the union commit
tee to furnish them with the Hebrew
price-list for making shirts, and the
before the close of the day. The other
division of the contractors wanted the
Union to aid them in obtaining equal
sale deal rs 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
evening for remaining near Lowry &
Sons shop, AT Broadway, and endeavor-
ing to persuade some of the remaining
hands there to join the strikers. She
was released shortly afterward.
The Union tried to organize Levy's
shop in First avenue, between Thirty
sixth and Thirty-seventh streets, last
night, and quite number Joined the
shop and some Of them went out to-
day. Mr.. Levy told his employees that
they could do as they pleased, and the
strike is therefore quite an amicable

WAS 1T ENOUGH

A young rufiian. too full Of liquor,

feet In the front row OF the gallery Just
after the performance commenced. ut
tered volley of oaths and expressed a
desire to whip any one in the house.
When an officer endeavored to remove
him. he proved a tough customer and
nearly succeeded In throwing the police
man over the railing into the orchestra
OF course there was almost a panic in
the theatre, and 1t took two officers to
remove the offender. He was taken to

$40 or ten days Imprisonment.
The punishment is not enough for the
enense. The ruffian came near COM

Is IT BLUFF

When the Republican Convention met
full OF hope and confidence. a thought
full member of the party warned It
against over-conhdence. He was sneered
at.
Senator Hill opened his speech at the
assembly of the Democratic Convention
yesterday with a vigorous attack on
what he calls the annual and moss
covered game OF political blum" the Re
publicans are accustomed to play, and
In which they are engaged this year
more earnestly than ever.
The changes In the situation within
the past week prove the sagacity OF the
Republican who cautioned his friends
against over-confidence. A very little
reflection will satisfy any unpreJudiced
mind that the Democracy will make a
fatal blunder II It attributes the indi-
cations OF popular dissatisfaction with
the present dominant party in the Gov
eminent to the Republican annual and
moss-covered game OF political bluff."
II is true that the Republican victory
last year was won not by Republican
strength, but by Democratic weakness
1t is true the total vote OF the State
was nearly three hundred thousand
short OF It's full figure. 1t is true there
was open and avowed revolt against
Democratic management.
But why was the Democracy weak !?
Why did its voters absent themselves
from the ballot-box? Why was there
a revolt against the candidates ?
Democrats misdeeds and blunders, and
not Republican "bluff'' and the beat
ing Of tom-toms" were the cause.
II the Democrats complete their work
at Saratoga In such a manner as to con-
firm the growing belief in the sincerity
OF their reform professions: IL to the
last the action of the party is left free
and untrammelled by machine methods
and boss dictation: II the nominate lions
are In themselves a guarantee Of pure
government, the result will be different
from that Of last year. II the Con-
vention follows up the retirement of
Flower and Murphy and Croker by n
practical proof in the sincerity Of the in
tention Of the party to respect public
sentiment by selecting such candidates
as the people demand, II will insure
success in November.
III 1t disappoints popular expectation
II Will find the danger that threatens
1t something more than Republican
blum.
