New York, Feb. 6.-Bepresenta-
tives of about seyenty-five tailors'
unions throughout the country have
just held convention here TO take
measures for fighting the contract
system. Fifty-nine local unions were
represented by delegates from New
York, Newark, Boston, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Baltimore, Syracuse. St.
Louis, Chicago and number of other
cities. All the clothing trades were
represented except the cutters.
The chairman made the following
statements:
Our objects are to do away with
the contract system in the trade to
bring about uniform system of
wages and hours of labor; TO fight
for the substitution OF electricity
and steam power for foot work VIII
sewing machines and to bring about
other reforms. This is the biggest
movement in the trade yet under
taken. Strikes will not necessarily
be our weapon in the fight if we can
not accomplish the reforms by peace
