STRIKE EPIDEMIC SPREADS
Garment Makers Walk Out of
MANY Cloak Factories.

The strike epidemic spread to many cloak
factories Yesterday, following the walkout
which began on Tuesday. Employees quit
work where manufacturers had started
getting out winter cloaks three weeks ahead
of the working season in order to be pre-
pared for the promised strike of $4,000
operatf tfves.
The strikers did not wait for orders. but
began to pour out of the factories early in
the forenoon. Up to last evening there
were 10000 on strike, involving about fifty
factories. The individual strikes 1t was
said, would continue to-day. In each case
the operatives demanded increases in wages
ranging from 10 to Is per cent Some en-
ployers granted the demands 4 strike IN
the factory Of Joseph Autler & Co. Nos. ia
and 116 Fifth avenue was Temporarily
settled The strikes were SO spontaneous
that the union officers had to hustle to get
halls to accommodate the strikers
Abraham Rosenberg, president of the IN
ternational Women's Garment Workers,
who went to Washington to confer with
President Gonpers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in reference to the coming
general strike, returned to this city yester-
day. He said that the present strikes were
temporary and took place because work
was going on which ordinarily would not be
started for several weeks yet

SAME GRAND JURY REPORT
White Slave Presentment
Goes To Judge O'Sullivan Again.

Another effort will be made to-day in
General Sessions by the grand jury, OF
which John D. Rockefeller. jr., is foreman.
to file report of its Investigation into the
so-called white slave traffic of this city.
When the presentment was offered, two
weeks ago, Judge OSulItvan refused to re-
ceive it until he knew the character of the
document. The jurors were dismissed with
instructions to report to-day, and the fore
man was instructed to confer In the mean
time with the court.
The conditions when the grand jury
comes into court to-day to report will be
unchanged. Judge O'Sullivan has not seen
the presentment, which has been sealed and

feller in court that the jurors had investf-
gated nothing that had not first been sub
n7ttted to Judge O'Sullivan and approved
by him was repeated at that conference
There has been no other conference and
no further information has been offered by
the committee.
Many persons qualified to gauge the sit
1ation believe that Judge O'Sullivan will
accept the presentment to-day without fur
ther question. though he has the authority
to adjourn the jurors until any time he
sees fit and persist in his refusal to re-
ceive their presentment.

City Officials Begin Inquiry Into Acct
dent at Coney Island.

License Bureau in the Mayors Office, went
to Coney Island yesterday and looked over
the roller coaster structure at Joness Walk

sons were injured in an accident yester-
day four of whom are in the Coney Island
Hospital At the end of his inspection Mr..
Oliver notified the Coney Island police that
the license of the coaster was suspended
pending investigation.
John Thatcher. superintendent of build
fngs of Kings County; Matthew Kennedy.
chief inspector Of buildings for Kings, and
George Reddin, building inspector for the
Coney Island district, also visited Coney
Island Yesterday. They inspected the
coaster upon which the accident occurred
and said that the accident was due to some
extent to the ineficiency of the man driving
the car which jumped the track They
also said that they believed that the driv-
ers of the roller coaster cars on the island
often drove too fast. The party inspected
all of the other coasters on the island and
reported them in good condition.

accident Manuel De Colo, is in a critical
condition Both of his legs are fractured

WOODFORD'S POST
OFFICE IS TO Be
DISCONTINUED
And Also the Stage Route to

ORDER TAKES EFFECT JAN. 81
Woodford People Will Have TO Come
to Bennington for Mail After
That Date

The postoffice at Woodford City
and the stage mail route from Ben
nington to that point will be discon-
tinued February /. The last man to
hold the position of postmaster at
Woodford resigned some time ago,
but under the arrangement by the
government with his bondsmen he
has been handling the mail while an
effort was made to secure a new man
for the position.
Three times examinations have
been advertised to be held at the
Bennington postofice for the Wood
ford position and also that of post
master for the village Of Heartwell-
vile. The last examination was set
for today when one candidate appear
ed to take the examination for the
Heartwelyile position. There have
been no candidates for the position
at Woodford.
The disseminating of the postoffice
and the stage route which has been
run by Carl Bugbee will inconyeni-
ence a large number of people. Not
only will the people living in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Woodford be de-
prived Of mail facilities but the stage
has been delivering mail all along
the Woodford road from the Ben,
nington village limits eastward.
The only method out of the diffic
ulty seems to be the establishment
of a rural route out of Bennington Of
fee but even this plan would not &C
commodate people living between
Woodford and Searsburg. |. w
Newell who lives beyond the Red
Mills was in town today and he ex
pressed a vigorous disapproyal o.
either coming TO Bennington, 1:
miles over the mountain, or going tc
Wilmington for his mail.
The candidate who took the exam
nation for the Heartwelville post
mastership was Henry Roy.
