SHALL THE OPEN SHOP OR
 THE CLOSED SHOP RULE?
Biggest Strike in the industrial His
 tory of New York City.

New York. July S.-Another big batch of cloak and suit makers went on strike today in addition to the 50,- 900 who walked out yesterday, mak- ing the total now out 75,S61. accord ing to the union estimate. If these figures are correct it is the biggest strike in the induhtrial history of New York city.
 Not all of thoes who quit today are affiliated with the union,. but their vol untary action in renouncing S eady employment out of pathy for their fellows is a great encoura cement to union laeders. Five thousand joined cations for membership were coming in tonight it looked as if the total of recruits might reach 10000 by tornor- row. A tax of $1 has been imposed on every male member of the Gar ment Workers union in the United States and one of 50 cents on each woman member. Officers of the union say these levies, with the 'contribu- tions of other citih, will insure strike fund of sS00,0O0 How far this fund can be made to go seems to be the qustion on which the success or fail ure of the strike will rest.
 There was no vilance today, and the employers will make attempt to fill the places of the strikers with non- union workers, as a majority of the manufacturers agree that the situation is such that they can well afford to wait a few weeks before committing themselves.
 The manufa cturers' executive com- mittee said tonight that the question of wages would not enter into any settlement that might be reached. It was solely a matter of whether the open shop or the closed shop should

GERMANY NOT AGAINST
 THE MONROE DOCTRINE. Semi Official Statement that that Country Will Not Oppose It.

Berlin. July s.-It is unthinkable that Germany, from any point of view should be inclined to oppose the Mon roe doctrine, says a seni-official re- view in the Vossische Zeitung of Ad- mifal Mahan's article on the American. British. and German navies published Tn England recently. There is beside 2, iu argues. no other point on which Germany is likely to come into con 1iict with the United States.
 Admiral Mahan," continues the ar- ticle, can have found no reason in American affairs calling for warning Americans against Germany. He wrot c in our opinion from the purest love of his own country, but he is dream CT sn political strategy, and builds up cir cumstances which really do not exist If we contest this train of thought, we are still far from the intention of worrying ourselves in any way con cerning the right and liberty of the United States to strengthen their fleet according to their own ideas
