nav YORK TAILoRs sTRIKE.
A Conflict That Adds 10000 to the
Ranks of the Idlers.


NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The members OF
the Clothing Contractors Mutual and
Protective association have repudiated the
contracts entered into by them with the
members OF the United Garment Workers
of America in this city last July, and big
strike involving 10, 600 tailors in New York
city, Brooklyn, Brownsville and Newark,
Is preciptated. The contractors are under
bonds in $500 each to live up to the terms

Ing the last conflict between themselves
and the organized tailors, to whom the
contractors had to yield and grant their
demands at the close of the struggle which
terminated three months ago.
Yesterday being the first work day in
the Hebrew week the tailors found no.
tices posted upon most all the shops stat
ing that the employers had agreed to
abolish the weekly system granted under
the provisions of the new contract, and
that the men would be paid in the future
under the piece and task work systems.
The employers further notified the tailors
that they would not in the future permit
walking delegates to enter their shops, and
would at the same time dispense with the
services of timekeepers, whose duty it was
to call out the dinner hour. Three thou
sand tailors at once quit work.
The contractors held meeting yester-
day and decided not TO permit organized
labor men to run their establishments.
They contend they have a right to hire
and discharge whom they please, and man
age their business without the interference
of the walking delegates of the Brother
hood of Tailors.
The executive committee of the United
Garment Workers met last night, and it
is more than probable that over $4,000
workers will desert the shops.

A VERY WEAK DEFENSE.

At least one county scat paper, the Evening
Chronicle has at last picked up sufficient
courage to offer defense for the awards
made by Pottsville arbitntors, and that
very weak one, indeed. We say Pottsville
arbiuators adyisedly-no one outside of the
county seat having been known, within the
memory of the oldest resident" to have
been appointed on board of arbitration
But this fact has not entirely discouraged the
taxpayers of the other towns of the county
They confidently expect to witness the
appointment of some one outside of the
boundaries of Pottsville as arbitrator when
certain residents of that town have shuffled
OFF this mortal coil. 1t is true there is
little ground for hope under these circum-
stances, but with the "favorites" having
served the county so long and faithfully, and
tenure Of life with them nearing an end, the
residents Of other towns are pardonable in
indulgng in the hope oft deferred.
To say that the awards are given because
of a weak defense is misleading and stating
that which is not true, and none know it
better than our contemporary, In every
instance where an appeal has been taken to
court the ruling of the lPottsville) arbitm-
tors has been reversed. But will our con
temporary kindly inform MS of one instance
where an award was made in favor Of the
defendant. This is the milk in the coc~anut,
which needs considerable light shed upon it,
and which our contemporary very wisely
avoids. 1t appears to be an established rule
to give the award in favor of the prosecutor,
so the case win be thrown into court and the
defendant mulcted for a large bill of costs.
Nine per cent. of the awards made are
against the defendant, whether the latter be
a borough, corporation or individual
But what has our contemporary to say in
defense of the discrimination against other
towns in favor of the county seat? Why is
II lndl lne Sillle names appear 80 Olttu az
arbitrators, and why is it that they invari-
ably reside in Pottsville and spend their
leisure hours within the four walls of the
court house Why is it that taxpayers from
other parts of the county are not selected foI
this purposes There must be some good
reason for this apparent discrimination, and
the people outside Of the county scat are
anxiously awaiting enlightenment on the sub,
ject. Perhaps our contemporary can furnish
the knowledge. We patiently await reply

An American Steamer in Collision.

LIVERPOOL Dec. l6. - The American
liner Indiana. from Philadelphia, was
turning in the stream here last evening

Just at the collision bulkhead, through

From the Ashland Local.
A book agent from Shenandoah, called on
Mrs Ann Burk, Giardville, yesterday, for
the purpose Of collecting dollar on book
she had bought, and on which she alleges
she had paid four dollars. When the book
agent demanded the dollar she said she could
not pay it, and the agent began to get mad,
and then Mrs, Burk told him he could have
his book back providing he gave her the four
dollars and the oily tongued agent said he
would take it back if it was not soiled, Mrs.
Burk handed him the book, and as soon as
he got an opportunity he ran from the
house and mounted his bike and peddled
away like the wind. Mrs Burk's son
mounted his horse and gave chase. After a
very exciting race, as far as the Hammond
breaker he saw that his horse was giving out
and that the man ON the bike was gaining
so he gave up the chase and returned without
the rider or the book. We are unable to
learn the name of this book agent.

BUFFALO, Dec. 16.-The mystery of the
identity of the young woman who com
mitted suicide in a boarding house on
Maine street on Dec 2 has been solved.
She was Miss Edith Yerks, of Waterford,

stroyed every trace which she thought
likely to afford clew as to who she was.
She was identified by means of trunk
key. Captain Yerks, the dead girls father,
was communicated with, and afterward
identified the body at the morgue.
