us make note of the fact That gen. Miles

BIG SILK STRIKE.
Operations ir all the Silk Mills in Pat
erson May Go Out.

New York, Jan. 22.-At a meeting of
delegates from all of the silk factories
in Paterson, N. J., last night it was de
cided that unless the demands of the
striking weaverS in the Golden Rod fac
tory are yielded within tWenty-four
hours a sympathetic strike will be or
dered in every factory in that city. This
means the throwing out of employ
5nent of between 1000 and 5000 oper-
atives and the stopping of every silk
spindle in Paterson.
The trouble began Saturday, when
300 operatives in the factory of the
Golden Rod Silk Manufacturing COM
pany walked out because the superin-
tendent had refused to restore their
wages to the figure they were paid prior
to the presidential election.
Owners of the mills declined to take
any step toward a settlement yester-
day.
When Manager Finkelstone of the
Pelgram & Meyer Silk Manufacturing
company was approached by men in
his mill he absolutely refused to yield
a point or to take any hand in effecting
a compromise in the case of the Golden
Rod mill strikers.
The manufacturers say they will be
glad to close their mills.
Another meeting will be held today
by the delegates from the different
mills, when final preparations for a
general strike will be made.
A strike was ordered at the Hudson
County silk mill, Union Hill, Hoboken,
yesterday afternoon.

AGAINST AMERICANS.
Russians in Alaska Claim to be Suf-
fering From Oppression.

Paris, Jan. 22.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Herald writes that
serious complaints against the existing
state of affairs in Alaska are brought
by the Svet.
It is alleged that the handful of Rus
slams remaining in the territory suffer
under all sorts of vexations and even
oppressive acts on the part of American
traders, who run" Alaska. 1t is claim
ed that a number of the company's
agents entered the Greek Orthodox
church during service, with firearms in
their hands, to drive the congregation
out to work, and that the Russian
teacher, having refused to give his les
sons in English, Americans threatened
to burn down his school.
General condemnation is brought
against the government in Washington
for leaving the administration of Alas
ka too much in the hands of a trading
company, which, it is claimed, finds its
interest in debauching the natives.
