CLOTHING MAKERS STRIKE
May Involve 10000 workmen Be-
fore It Is Finally Settled.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The World
today says: The strike of clothing
makers at Rochester for the union
rate OF wages threatens to develop
into strike that will affect 10000
workers. The United Garment
Workers OF America, who have a
general executive board in this
city, have information that the
contractors and wholesalers at
Rochester who are affected by the
strike are sending their goods to
this city to be made up. General
Auditor Henry White, OF the
United Garment Workers associa-
ton, said: "The Progressive
Tailors' union, which belongs to
the Knights of Labor, has under
taken to make up the 9th sent
here from Rochester. There are
thousands of non-union people
working in these shops with the
Progressive people, and II they con-
tinue to work, our strike in Roches-
ter will be broken up in few days,
and the union there scattered to
the winds. We have had our de-
tectives at work aud have located
all the shops where non.union
work is being done. The Brother
hood OF Tailors, which has a men,
bership Of 5000, will be called upon
to strike, and all the shops in the
city where work Is done for the
Rochester contractors. About 5000
workmen will be ordered to strike
here, II the Progressive Tailors'
union refuses to send back the
Rochester work. II the strike Is
ordered. 1t will spread to Syracuse,
Utica, Albany, Buffalo, and other
towns in this state where the union
wages are not paid. The 10000
clothing workers Of Chicago will
also strike. About 10000 workers
will be affected"

Will Go 1t All Alone.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The Con.
federated Council OF the good gov.
eminent clubs have called a con-
vention for today. They propose
to place a full county ticket in the
field. They think the better ele-
ment are disguised with what they
call the bogus article of reform that
controls municipal affairs. Gen.
eral Arson McCook, Mayor Strong's
mpaign manager, says: of the
Good Government clubs nominate
an independent ticket the cause OF
reform will be impaired instead Of
improved. The detection OF the
Good Government clubs may
mean the continued supremacy Of
Tammany Hall. There are 10000
or $4,000 Democrats who supported
the reform ticket last fall for the
purpose Of suppressing Tammany.
Edward Lsuterbach, president Of
the Republican county committee
and Boss Platt's lieutenants think
it a decidedly good idea. They will
probably advocate local opion
on liquar matters.

ENGLISH COMMENT
On the Athletic Combination That
has just Sailed For America.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Stevenson,
the Splinter, was invited to join
the London Athletic club team on
their trip to America at the last
moment, but was unable to do so.
The combined team, which sailed
on the Aurania, is made up as fol-
lows: Bradley, Gowler, Fitzher-
bert, Koran, Lutyens, Oakley, Jor-
dan, Shaw, Williams, Watson,
Leavin, Mendelsen, Robertson,
Johnston, Wilding, Gomerhar,
Williams, Davenport, Pilkington
and Jennings.
Sporting Life says that Wilkins
and Fitzherbert will start to jofh
the team on September D. Also
that every member Of the seam
spoke strongly of the inexPlicaoie
absence of Bredin, wig" almost
originated the idea of me contest,
who was on the sub-qommittee Ior
the selection of the sileh, anu WHO
appeared to take she greatest IN
terest in the prOiset: :,
Truth saws. Pit is not probable
that the AMERICANS can show any
such athletey as Koran, Fitzher-
bert and Iu3yens, but the rest of the
team is week., and will almost GER
tainly have to accept defeat. The
Oxford team would have been
much plore likely to win. The
Londors Athletic club team is sim
gularIy strong; but it seems a pity
that the club did not send a team
couiposed of original members in
stead of securing the country for
athletes and admitting men who
Gould not have been elected to
membership, although undoubted-
ly the amateurs, the New York
Athletic club, have got together a
strong lot"
The Standard this morning says,
in giving God speed to the Ath-
letics: "The absentees will be a
serious loss to the British club, but
will make the match much more
interesting. There are no better
hosts than Americans, but they
are not at all good losers. The
Cornell affair seems to show that
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes adj
vice to 'own up, pay up, or shut
up is still needed. We trust that
in the event the Americans are de-
feated there will be no repetition of
unpleasantness."

alive government.
