TAILORS IN A SCRIMMAGE.
Their Headquarters Invaded by . scab-l
Small Riot In Ono Shop.

Meyer Schocnfeld. leader of the Brother
hood of Tailors, was at the headquarters of the
union at lO4 Orchard street yesterday, and
the place was opened for the first time in day
light since the riot on Monday. Once, however,
when Schoenfeld was not looking, a man who
was referred to as that man BAUM slipped
into the antcroom where the unemployed
tailors wait for the contractors to come and en-
gage them. Baum does not belong to the union
and, according to the tailors. Is known as n
bruiscr, being a big and muscular fellow. He Is
also u socialist. Cries Of Put out the scab"
arose on all sides. >,
Baum refused to go. Those nearest the door
asked why some one didn't put him out. Several
Of the tailors began to shove him, but he simply
laughed. They could not bulge him. A police.
man was sent for, and induced the man to leave.
a fight took place in Contractor Jacob Co.

ployee named Joseph Hynavitch, who demand.

certain who struck the first blow, but when n

Others In New England.
BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 9.-The Transcript 10
authority for the statement that a result Of tho
10 per cent. reduction in tho wages of the Fall
River print cloth operatives will DO a general
cut-down in all the mills in the same industry
in New England. This outcome is the result Of
a widespread effort on the part Of manufacture
ers to pile up as many goods as possible. Tho
of this nature was inevitable. A strong fight
will be made In all the cities by the operatives
against the proposed reduction, and n long and
bitter strike may result.
Dispatches from the print cloth manufactur-
ing cities throughout New England show an un-
easy feeling among both mill owners and oper-
atives. A prominent agent in Lowell, in COM
menting on the situation said that the New Eng
tition of the Southern mills. with their lower
scale of wages and cheaper production, and

sooner or later succumb.
Providence. r. l., Dec. 9.-Rhode Island cot
ton manufacturers are not yet ready to follow
in the footsteps of their Fall River competitors
by cutting wages. The move Of the Fall River
manufacturers was to a certain extent unex-
pected here. and came as a surprise. There was
no concerted movement among the New Eng
land manufacturers in this matter, as was tho
case with the curtailment of production In tho
early part Of the year, and 1t Is likely that local
mill men will await the outcome of the Fall
River cut.down before making any move in the
same direction. II there is a strike In Fall River
there will be probably no reduction here, as the
consequent CuTbhllIncHb vi pIOuuCliuh Will
benefit the market. There is not much cloth OF
tho Fall River grade manufactured here. and
consequently Rhode Island mills do not feel the
results OF Southern competition as directly as
do the Fall River factories.
Rhode Island action, however. depends largely
upon what Is done by the knights. who are tho
largest cotton manufacturers in the world. As
yet they have made no movement. Col. vii.
liam Goddard, head of the big firm of Goddard
Brothers. intimated that his firm did not intend
to cut wages.
While the cotton mills are In q Quaudary tho
WoOllen factories of the State arc all running at
their fullest capacities. and the big Clyde print
works Is on an overtime schedule.
