the present struggle Will be much more
sharply waged and be much more pro-
longed than was the fight instituted by
the foundrymen. The SCOTS have come
to realize that they are threatened with
a very grave danger. The ease with which
the foundrymen gained their first struggle
has emboldened all of the men in the big
shops. AT present there are about 5000
employed and should they all join in a
movement for a demand of increased
wages the consequences would be grave
indeed.
For several months past there has been
general discomfort among the men, even
Including the clerks, as to the wages.
Talks of strikes in various departments
have been frequent. But until the foun
drymen took the initiative nothing def
mite was done on the part of the men.
Even in the case Of the foundrymen mere
ly the threat of a strike was made. The
men took the first step only
The strike of the pattern makers was
set at d very opportune time from their
point of view. Just now the Union Iron
Works is rushed with work. In addition
to the two big battleships, the Ohio and
Wyoming that are to be built by the
Union Iron Works, there are to be con-
structed for the Government three tor
pedo boats. The patterns for the machin-
cry OF these various vessels still remain
to be made, in addition to which the
SCOTS have contracts to construct the
new ferryboa for the Santa Fe Railway
Company and a steamer for the Hawaiian
trade strike just now, If of large pro-
portions or long continued. would serious
iy affect the institution. Besides this, the
strikers claim that good mechanics are
very scarce on this coast, and that the
Union Iron Works even now has difficulty
in obtaining a full quota of men. To i'm
port men from the East would require
considerable time, and would be meas
ure to be resorted to only as last re-
source owing to the bad moral effect such
a step has on mechanics here.
A few days ago some of the men en-
ployed by the Union Iron Works in doing
repair work on the United States battle
ship Iowa entered complaint at the La
hor Council that they Were being COM

groups outside Of the gates and discussed
the affair. Naturally when the matter
became generally known in the shops
there was more or less subdued excite
ment evinced by the men, but there were
no attempts at violence, and the strikers
kept mainly to themselves, finally dspers-
ing the men going their several ways to
their homes.
The officers of the Union Iron Works
have been summoned to discuss the mat
ter, and after this meeting some ulti-
matum may be issued to the strikers. In
the meantime the latter will direct their
efforts toward inducing the men who have
not yet joined in the movement to do so
Immediately. They assert that they will
merely seek to persuade them by pointing
out that the demands made of the man
agement of the Union Iron Works are
just and that no deeds of violence will be
countenanced. The leaders believe that
they will have the support of the various
associated labor bodies in this city in the
movement, and confidently declare that
the men of the several other de-
partments of the iron works will lend
their support to insure the success of the
strike should this become necessary.
The scale Of wages for pattern makers
at the Union Iron Works has been So %
per day. The same rate formerly pre-
vailed in the foundry. However, a few
weeks ago the foundrymen united in de-
mand for an increase of 25 cents per day
AT first the demand was refused, where
unon a strike was threatened. The man
aeement of the iron works held out as
long as it could, and in every way possible
sought to satisfy the men without in
creasing their wages. Finally, when they
became convinced that a strike really had
been determined upon, they capitulated
and the foundrymen gained their point.
But for a short while only did peace
prevail in the big institution. It was soon
made known among the men that the
foundrymen had secured raise of wages.
This Induced the pattern makers to be-
Iieye that they too could be equally as
successful Hence the strike that is now
In progress.

UNION IRON

SMALL STRIKE
Pattern-MakerS Ask
Increased Wages.

Labor troubles, which for several
months past have been impending at the
Union Iron Works, have eliminated in
strike. which while not general in its char
acter assumes grave Importance from the
fact that If the strikers are successful, as
they confidently assert they will be. beyond
anv question further trouble in other de-
partuents Of the big institution may be
expected to take place.
In the present instance the pattern
makers are in revolt. There are fifteen OF
them employed by the Union Iron Works,
and one-haif of that number went out on
Tuesday. The rest. with solitary excep-
uon. quit work Wednesday. A few weeks
ago the pattern makers made demaho
for an increase of % cents per day
I'm their wages. The demand was not
acceded 10 by the Scots, with the result
that yesterday morning the men quietly
put away their tools and refused 10 go on
with their work. No unusual demonstra-
tion marked the occurrence beyond the
fact that the men gathered in small

GARMENT WORKERS no STRIKE.

Them Are Women.

Philadelphia, March 24.-The execu-
tive committee of the Garment Work
ers union tonight ordered a strike of
the 5000 garment makers of this city
beginning tomorrow at noon. The
purpose of the strike is principally to
secure the abolition of sub-contracting,
as we'll as higher wages and increased
rates for government work. About 1000
Of the strikers are women 1t Is ex-
pected that the strike will affect nearly
every establishment in the city. The
strikers claim that a more Opportune
time for a strike could not be chosen,
as there is a rush Of work in all direc-
tjons and the contractors will have diff
ficulty in getting new hands Joseph
Swartz, chairman Of the executive
committee, stated that many of the
leading contractors paid fair prices, but
by the time the sub contractor got his
share almost nothing remained for the
workers. The sub-contractor was re-
sponsible for the sweat shops. cat
present" he said, "pantaloon makers
receive from % cents to 40 cents per
pair. We ask for from 40 cents to so
cents. The price paid by the govern
ment Is fifty cents, yet on some govern
ment work that is sub-let twice the
workers receive less than 25 cents
