READY FOR CLOAK STRIKE
Preparations Are Completed for
Calling Out $4,000 Workers.

at the various branches Of the Brotherhood

the strike would be called soon and that
they would receive pink paper slips telling
them when it was on. They are expected
to report to halls to which they will be
assigned in the slips within two hours after
the strike order is received.
A joint meeting of the executive commit
tee of the union and the strike committee
of forty-five was held in Beethoven Hall

by hundreds OF cloakmakers who waited
outside that the strike would be declared.
There was no change in the situation when
the meeting was over, but another joint
meeting will be held at 6 a. m. to-day,
when 1t is believed the strike order calling
out fifty thousand workers will be issued.
Preparations for the strike were COM
pleted yesterday. The executive committee
divided the city for the purpose of the
strike into seven districts, and engaged a
large hall in each district, where strikers
will report and be assigned to headquarters
in smaller halls of which AS were engaged
yesterday.
The larger district halls are the Manhat-
tan Lyceum. No. GO East 4th street;
Progress Rooms. Avenue A and I'd street;

Women's Garment Workers, said last even
ing that every preparation was made for
the strike The cloakmakers were discour-
aged by the union from beginning any new
work, to prevent confusion when the strike

right when he said that Clifford Pinchot

IN the free list when the Payne-Aldrich bill
was being prepared and was kept there until
within two weeks of the time the bill was
reported to the House. Until then Mr.. Pin
chot had been advocating free lumber.
About this time he wrote letter TO the
committee favoring a tariff on lumber as a
conservative measure. 1 don't know what
caused Pinchot's change of heart, but
do know the statement was made on the
floor of the House and never denied that
the change came following a conference
between Pinchot and great lumber interests
which resulted In giving Mr.. Pinchot great
ar mower over the timber OF America than
any man ever had before or since.
II am not making this charge, but It
was made on the floor of the House." con-
