PEDLERS MAY STRIKE.
Not Sure against Whom-Trouble

The pushcart pedlers of the East Side, who are
organized the United Citizens Pedlers' Associa-
ton of Greater New-York. threaten a general
strike. involving thousand pedlers, unless
they gain rights this week from the city to which
they think they entitled. There are six
branches in the association. and all six branches
held meetings yesterday. According to the pedlers,
they disseminated against in the issuing Of
licenses While there seven thousand pushcart
peders, onehalf of them cannot get licenses. they
say, and are liable to arrest and fine If caught
plying their trade without a license. Meantime.
they say, they must work for a living.
Just how the pushcart pedlers expected to benefit
themselves by general strike hard learn
yesterday They pointed at the meetings that
a year ago. when there rule made by the
city authorities limiting them TO certain district
the East Side, they went on strike for one day,
in midsummer. All the fruit and perishable goods
began to wilt and as it evident that strike
of this kind If It lasted in hot weather. would be
serious thing. the Objectionable rule was repealed
the day 1t proposed this time to order
general strike for three days. The pushcart men
argued that the wholesale fruit dealers and others
would be forced into trying to cooperate with the
drivers in getting the city authorities to agree to
their demands. rather than have perishable goods
undeivered for three days.
Sigmund Schwartz president OF the association
said yesterday before the meetings began:
What we want is to have some ordinance passed
regulating the districts for the pushcart pedlers
and to have all honest men who want to work at
the trade licensed, subject TO certain regulations
There fifteen hundred storekeepers who are not
entitled to any pushcart licenses. who nave the Ii
Censes, and want the licenses taken from them
and given to hfteen hundred pushcart peders. We

the other streets. believe that before strike is
ordered we will put the matter before Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, who is expected
in this city tomorrow, and put him record.
The meetings of the pedIers were all excited ones
The audiences wanted to strike right away, with
out pausing to consider what they would gain by
striking, and most of them had very indefinite
idea of whom the strike would be against. Judging
from the plans of the leaders. the strike will be
more against the general public than anybody else
