BosToYkJuly 3l.-What in all probable
ity will prove a murder occurred here last
night, when Crecienzo Pagano was shot
in the head, in the right thigh and in the
left groin with bullets from two revolvers
welded by Leopoldo Ssntoni clio and his
cousin, GaeJano rorino All of the COM
batants are bakers. Torino and Pagano,
with others, were playing cards, when
Pagano took offense and struck Torino in

return to the bakeshop Just as they
reached the corner of Lafayette and Prince

revolver and fired a shot The two cousins
Immediately pulled their guns, and each

AThousand TaiIors Returned
to Work Today.
Nearly a Hundred Contractors Have
Signed the Agreement.
There Is No Stampede and the Strike
Is Nearly Over.

NEW YORK, July 1.-More than 1000
OF the striking Brotherhood tailors re-
turned To work this morning, as a result
of the signing OF the agreement by nearly
100 contractors.
This early action on the part OF go many
employees, and the fact that crowd OF
contractors who had not signed, were In
new Windsor Hall this morning awaiting
an opportunity To do as-soon as the
settementl committee could attend 10
them, was looked upon as an indication
that there would be a stampede OF the
bosses and the strike would end sooner
than expected
Secre tary Witkowsky OF the coal con-
tractors Mutual Protective Association,
declared that no members OF the organl-
zation had signed the brotherhood =
agreement, but the sett'e nent committee
informed a reporter that several oil the
association contractors had signed with
the understanding that their names were
not to be divulged.
Samuel Probstein OF the tsrikers execu-
tive committee said: "We cannot serve
the bosses as fast as they come TO sign
the agreement we, have framed. Eighty
one had signed lats night, and there were
II new APPELLANTS early this morning.
About 300 OF the Brotherhood went back
to work today for 73 bosses who had con-
ceded our demands. Those who fought
us hardest last year, are the first to yield
this year. They have learned by exper-
ence. The easy success we are having, Is
a surprise to us. BY Wednesday OF the
week in which the strike began last year,
not one had settled with US. We were
prepared for five or six weeks strike.
We have plenty OF money to carry us
through such period. Ii looks now
though as il the strike would be sub
stantially ended by the close of the week.
A few of the more stubborn contractors
may hold out longer, and there are some
of them whom we will refuse TO settle
unless they apply before next Monday.
These are the employers who have been
negligent the whole year in paying
wages. We will holo an argument with
them IL they come before Monday; II
they do not, we wont even say anythi ng
to them. We are all going To refuse to
settle with those who run sweat shops.
We have already declined to
negotiate with several Of them.
We mean to get the factory inspectors
after them"
