members of the local held meeting after
the regular session had adjourned and de-
clared off the strike that has been on since
last October which affects 600 cutters and
5000 garment workers. The leaders of the
trump" meeting insist that the struggle
has been lost. 1t was sympathy for the
idle men that preciptated the teamSterS
strike
The council finance committee has decided
to give the additional policemen employed
for strike duty higher salary than ordinarily
Is paid to regular policemen in the first few
months of their service. This is in recog-
milton for the mems Willingness to serve at
the present time. and because they hold
only temporary positions. with no oppor-

men in the first stage OF their employment,
AS there are now about LOO additional
policemen. the city must pay $500 a day
in salaries for the temporary force.
