New York, May 21.-This was a quiet
day with the striking East Side tailors.
No new organizations Joined their ranks
this morning, and there is no mass meeting
in store for them this afternoon or even
ing. In fact, it looked this morning as If
Several of the manufacturers have in
Several of the manufacturers have in
formed the executive committee that they
are willing to start shops of their own, and
that the work which cannot be handled in
them Will only be let to contractors who
VIII agree to abide by the contracts they
make with the tailors. Two more manu-
facturers we're consulted on that point this
morning. Both gave favorable replies.
There is one point, however, over which
a hitch ma yocCur. The emanufacturerscan
of course, pay whatever wages are agreed
upon to the men employed in their own
shops, but how they are 10 force the CON
tractors TO pay their help more than the
contractors themselves are paid, is some
thing OF a mystery.
Meyer Schoenfeld, the leader Of the strike,
feels confident that other firms will agree
to take similar action, and that eventually
TIE manufacturers association will take
such action officially. Schoenfeld is now
making a canvass of all the manufacturers
to learn what concessions they are willing
to make.
The tailors. before returning TO work, will
insist upon a ten-hour day, the abolition rf
piece work, the employment of union hands
exclusively, and payment Of wages by the
week. The scale of wages to be paid ia the
different shops they are Wiling To leave
10 the respective employers
Unless 1t becomes certain that the strike
will soon be settled, two more orEaniZa-
ti0ns will strike in body. These are the
Progressive TaiIors and the Lithuanian
TailorS
There are about 2, goo tailors. all of them
cOpfcssedly socialists, among the Pro
greSSive Tailors, and about 200 in the
Lithuanian Association. They will go out
on Sunday, unless the demands OF the tail
oTs are in the meantime acceded to.

NEED FOR PROMPT ACTION
Vice President Hobart Didn't Sign
the Cuban Relief Resolution.
American COnsuls Already Instruct
ed to Draw for Funds-May Pay
From the Emergency Fund.

The extreme urgency for immediate aiC
to suffering American citizens in Cuba was
recognized by the Administration today
i'll a manner that Will convince the most
skeptical that intense suffering exists in
that island
Owing to the failure Of the Vice Presi-
dent TO sign the bill appropriating $50, 900
to relieve the suffering before the Senate
adjourned yesterday, the appropriation
cannot be used until next Monday or Tues
day, when the bill he signed.
The Administration, thoroughly knowing
the situatiOnin Cuba and the absolute ne
cessity for aid at the earliest possible
minute, has decided not to wait until the
appropriation bill is signed and has issued
through Secretary Sherman the following:
THE Secretary of State has direct ed
Consul General Lee to draw for immediate
purchase Of supplies and medicines for the
relief Of American citizens. and transpor-
tation of such as are without means, who
desire to return to their homes IN the Uni
ted states, not TO exceed $40, 900. He is
also instructed to furnish consuls in Cuba
at his discretion sums for this purpose.
"BriCc, consul at MatanZas, has he..n in
struCted by the Secretary of State TO com
mUnicate with Consul General Lee fOr
funds with which to relieve American
citizens there"
This money, it was said at the State
Department, will probably come out CT
the emergency or secret fund, butt may be
repaid from the appropriation.
The order just issued also settles, prac-
tiCaIIy, the method by which the supplies
purchased with the appropriation viii be
distributed, and that it will all he cone
through the American COnsuls.

NATIONAL BANKS COMBINE.
Shrinkage of Circulation Causes an
important Consolidation.

New York, May 2l.-The long-continueC
business depression and the shrinkage Of

Nassau streets, with the National City

yesterday.
The negotiations which led to this agree
ment were begun about ten days ago by

which held line Of deposits aggregating
about 81 100000 Its line of loans and
discounts amounted to only about 81 ,0O0,-
600 to 1000 900 600, and with so much
money as this left lying idle there was no
