Ihnd Garmont Workars,
Boston, Sept. l7-There Is every indi-
cation today that within few days there
will be inaugurated here, one OF the big
gest strikes in the history OF the clothing
trade of New England. The various
branches of the trade held meetings yes
terday and indorsed the recommendations
of the clothing trade council that the
Jumping system be abolished and that
the weekly wage system be established,
also that uniform number of working
hours be established.
The matter will bo brought before a
mass meeting of the united craft today.
and il the recommendations are adopted
by a two-thirds majority then a series of
conferences with the manufacturers and
| contractors will be held az soon as pos
sible. If the employers agree to the de-
| mands thon the strike will be averted.
but il they refuse strike will be ordered
! at once. The operatives claim they are in
| better position for strike than their
| employers, as the latter have been wait
| ing the result of the tariff bill. and are
| consequently behind with their work.
The entire trade appears enthusiastic
over the prospect, and at the meeting yes
terday strike would have been ordered
| IL II had been possible.

THE ELECTION.

The republicans claim a clean sweep
in the state, and say that Morrill, has
carried the state by 10000 plurality.
The returns are not complete yet, but
enough are in to insure the election
of a small republican majority in the
lower house OF the legislature. The
latest returns indicate that but two
populIst congressman, Baker of the
sixth, and Simpson or the seventh,
are elected.
In Phillips county the populists
have made great gains over last year.
The average republican plurality on
three cornered fight last year, was
about 100. This year the returns
show that on the state ticket the re-
publican and populist vote were near
ly even.
The republicans elect Andrews,
Pratt, Murray, and possibly Har-
wood. The populists elect Tadlock
and Don Carlos.
The returns from all over the Unit
ed States show large republican gains
almost everywhere. Both branches
of the national congress will probably
be republican.
Ohio, New York, Iowa, and Illinois
elect republican state tickets by
large republican msjorltles; and the
legislatures of several states, which
have democratic U. S. Senators, will
elect republican successors.
The suffrage amendment in Kansas
is defeated by about the same major
lty that Morrill, received, plus Over
meyers total vote. So far rs the
HERALD is able to judge, most of the
men in the city and county voted as
their wives requested on this ques-
ton. II this be- true all over the
state, the result is largely an express
sion from the women themselves.
The accompanying table shows the
unofficial returns so far as received.
The official count may make some
slight changes in these figures.
