ORGANIZING THE TAILORS.
WHEN THAT IS DONE. THEIR LEADERS SAY. THE
MEN WILL NOT WORK FOR THE
WAGES NOW FAID.


MEN Will. NOT WORK FOR THE
WAGES NOW PAID.
4 mass meeting or talors held In Walhaa
Hall yesterday afternoon. The meeting was called
By the United Brotherhood OF Tailors and the hall
was packed with a dense and perspirng crowd.
The officers Of the Brotherhood feared that the
Socialists might try 70 break up the meeting. as
they did the previous one and so they sent to the
Eldridse-st police station for assistance. About
fifteen bluecoats were stationed in and about the
hall and idcrs permitted 10 loiter on the
stairs in the hall entrance. as they were ac-
customed 10 do Some OF the Socialists got into
the hall. but they were scared b. the presence OF
the police and created no trouble.
William cohen the business agent OF the Brother
hood said tha; the object OF the meeting was not
10 aCiiate strikes. but thoroughly TO reorganize
thr tailors. About 5000 have been enrolled up TO
the present time. and In few weeks II Is thought
that the work will he completed. A scale Of
wages will then be submitted TO tho clothing manu-
facfurers. The contractors who employ the tall
o-s are ready to meet them TO confer the read
iustncnt OF the wage scale. as they believe that
Uniform rate Of pay will largely do with the
Injurious competition OF the multitude OF small
shops which have sprurs up the East Side with
in the last year.
The leaders OF the Brotherhood will do everything
to avoid strike. they say. but they insist that
the taiors cannot continue to work for the wages
now paid 10 them.
