Will Arrange Scale Of Wages Which

New. York, Feb. 27.-Shop meetings
of cloak makers were held in num-
TO organize and arrange upon de-
mands to be made upon the manufac-
turers next week.
The executive committee of the Uni
ted Brotherhood OF Cloakmakers met
later and received committees from
the different shop meetings. Mr..
Klein, secretary of the executive COM
mittee of the brotherhood, said to n
representative:
by the middle of next week | am
positive that every cloakmaker in
the city will be in the union. We have
decided TO notify all the manufactu-
rers, large and small, that committees
which will wait upon them with de-
mands will have no authority from
the union unless they have union ere
dentials which will be furnished to
each organized shop. Our demands
will be so moderate that the employ
ers will have no excuse for refusing
long, but no demands will be made IN
til we have heard from the employees
of all the shops"
Some of the big cloak manufactu-
rcrs who were seen last night said the
men will be right to strike.
The most expeditions way in which
they can get their demands is to
strike" said \. Popokin, of POpOkin
n Co. They will never get them in
any other way"
Other manufacturers were of the
same opinion and they agree that the
present state of affairs is due to the
competition of the small manufactu-
rers on the east side. One large man
ufacturer said that the expenses of
the small manufacturers were so slow
that they could underseIl the large
men every time. If the union could
force the small men to pay good prices
the large manufacturers would be
glad to do the same

The Marquis De Palmerota made

the thefts of sewer pipe, brick and
sand on the lines of sewers now being
laid in the various parts Of the city.
1t is spring gardening time with our
citizens and the Monterey brick is so
pretty and red that no painting is nee

In one yard on Camp street, in the
First ward, a few days ago Contractor
Irvine found that a family had made
borders for their flower beds all over
the front yard with these brick and
had also made nice wide pavement
from the front gate and around the
house. He was told by the lady he
inquired of regarding this, that her
little boys must have carried them in
to play with them.
On Garden street, also the brick has
disappeared by the thousands.
The contractors have regular watch
men employed at night but it would
take one for each block of the work
to keep mp with the pilferers.
