COAT MAKERS ON A STRIKE.
Loss of $4,000 a Day by the 1900
Hands Out at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O., April 11-As a result of
the strike of coat makers in Cincinnati,
$4,000 is being lost daily by that class of
wage earners, which, probably less than
any other. can afford to lose it. The latest
estimate of the number thrown out of en-
nlovment is 5000, with a probability that
II will be increased TO 10000 within the next
twentv-four hours. The cut in wages came
primarily from the wholesalers, and, of
course, reacted on the wage earners. The
boss coat makers claim that of late they
have been making so slight a margin
that It has begun to be almost unprofta-
he To remain In the business.
