WILL KEEP FACTORIES OPEN
Cloak Manufacturers Table Plan
for General Shut t-Down.

After 4 prolonged meeting at the Hoffman
House yesterday the plan OF ordering gen
eral shutdown in the factories of the men,
bers Of the Cloak. Suit and Skirt Manu-
facturers' Association was tabled by It's ex-
ecutive committee. Some of the members
said they would not reopen their factories
until they were convinced that all violence
by the strikers was over. The following
statement was issued:
Such d step as general shutdown
would be attended with such farreaciling
results that the manufacturers hesitate to
take it. Not only the 7o.ooo workmen on
strike mere would find their work taken
away from them, even should they desire
to return to their work. but the employees In
hundreds of woollen, cotton and silk mills
would be thrown out Of employment, for
with the closing of i majority of New
Yorks cloak and suit shops many of the
mills would md II necessary to reduce the
number of their hands, while more than
one would have to shut down altogether.
THE desire not to infiict more hardship
than may lie Compulsory upon their old
employees is another restraining motive
which the manufacturers have had to con-
slider. The general feeling among the en-
ployerS is that their men have been mtsled
and that once the situation can be made
clear to them that by returning to work
they now obtain all their desires except
the empty benefit OF a closed shop, they
will be anxious TO return to work, and the
employers want to do nothing TO prevent
their obtaining this work when once they
come TO their senses

WILL SHOOT TO KILL
Strike Leaders in New Bedford Warned
by Chief Of Police.

New Bedford, Mass, Aug. i9.-The heavy
rain Of the early morning prevented much
of the construction work in this city TO-
day. and as a result there was little chance
for the 500 striking building laborers to
interfere with the strike breakers. A DEM
onstration had been expected at the New
Sharp Mil, in the extreme southerly part
of the city, but when one hundred more
strikers, divided into four or five groups,
auproached the mill from different direc-
tions, they were corralled by detail OF
police, who banded the strikers together
and sent them up a side street.
The Chief of Police, Mason, had the strike
leaders at the central police station fer an
interview to-day, IN the course of which
the labor leaders were told the chiefs view
Of Just what they can and cannot do.

FIVE BURIED UNDER AUTO
One Man May Die as Result of
Westchester Accident.

Five persons were hurt, one so Sc
riously that he will probably die, when
q speeding automobile at the corner of
Drake avenue and Pelham Road, New
Rochelle, crashed into the curb and
turned completely over
The automobile was owned and driven
by William Wallace, of New Rochelle,
who had four friends with him in the
car. These men were Patrick McGrath
bartender; John Sullivan. George
Eberle and Grover S. Sythe. all of New
Rochelle. The street is fairly well light
ed, and it is not known what caused
the accident, but it is supposed that
Wallace lost control of the steering
wheel.
When the car reached the corner of
Drake avenue it suddenly veered sharply
and crashed into the stone curbing, the
front wheels rearing and sending the
machine almost on it's end. Before the
men in the car could jump to save them
selves they were buried beneath the car.
Eberle and Sythe were the least in
jured of the five, and as soon as thew
could regain their feet they hastened to
the aid of their companions. McGrath
had q fractured skull and Wallace and
Sullivan were seriously injured An am
bulance surgeon from the New Rochelle
Hospital took McGrath, Sullivan and
Wallace to that institution.

PATTEN LANDS IN ANGER
Can't See Why Papers Make
Such a Fuss Over Him.

The White Star liner Adriatic from
southampton, Cherbourg and Queenstown
reached her pier here yesterday with James
A. Patten on board. Before interriewers
reached him papers had been put aboard
the liner in which lie read the accounts Of
the sale of his exchange seat. They seemed
to leave him IN very i'll mood, for when re-
porters questioned him about the sale OF
the seat he waved his arms violently and
exclaimed:
Why, there isn't anything to make a
fuss about in regard TO the sale. I simply
gave word before leaving this country that
if the bid for the seat should go TO $4,000
the seat should be sold. Well, when the
bid reached that amount the seat was sold
And that's all there Is to it. Then the
newspapers have to go and make half a
column out of that I can't do a thing
without it's being put in the newspapers
1t was some time before Mr.. Patten would
say anything more, and when he did he re-
fused to talk on financial conditions. He
spoke on the shooting OF Mayor sGaynor,
and said
Mayor Gaynor brought city politics to
riane in which it lifted out from the
level of the ward politicians. 4 politician
who wouldn't go into saloons in New York
was looked OH as cold and chilly. He
received no support as he does now
Mr. Patton reiterated his statement OF
some time ago that he was out Of bust
ness. He made reference to the university
matters in which he was interested in
Chicago, and said work on that line WAS
taking up much of his time.
Among the saloon passengers on the
Adriatic were over half dozen men who
have the reputation among steamship men
of being card sharps. Their presence
aboard was soon made we'll enough known
and they did not succeed in getting into
any card games during the trip. It was
roticed that some OF them appeared to be
trying to reach friendly terms with Pat
ten.

slraulation OF millions of dollars through
politics, and that it is this money upon
which ne leans as staff 10 support his

Mr.. ROOSEVELT AS EDITOR
He Speaks, Gives Luncheon,
Sees Callers, Lays Cornerstone.

Mr. Roosevelt dropped politics yesterday,
for a day; at least he tried to drop it
in order to put In regular day contrib
utins to THE Outlook at the offices OF
that magazine on Fourth avenue. How
ever. there we're sundry Interruptions TO
a full days work by the contributing
etiitor-some of them planned and others
unforeseen.
Foreseen were his visit and speech to the
National Negro Business League conven-
ton in Palm Garden. his luncheon to the
Oyster Bay newspaper correspondents at
the National Arts Club, and his trip to
Garden City in the afternoon, when he laid
the cornerstone of the new building being
erected there by the Doubleday. Page &
Co. publishing house.
Representative Hamilton Fish, of New
York; Representative II. W. Cocks, OF
Nassau c. Y. Collins, State Superintendent
of Prisons: General James S. Clarkson,
former Surveyor of the Port. and John A
Stewart were among the callers at Mr..
Roosevet's office.
The ex-Presi6ent laughed aside a ques-
ton concerning his probable presence at
the state convention with another question
in reply:
Would you consider what happened on
Tuesday an invitation to go?''
But he did not give either affirmation or
denial to the suggestion that he might give
his speech on state issues from the floor
of the Saratoga convention hall.
He took the same position in regard to
questions about reports touching on his
present relations with the President, and
declared that he was responsible only for
statements he himself made
Mr.. Roosevelt did not appear to be dis
pleased with any Of the reports, but said
that as the reports were not accredited to
him it was not for him to affirm or deny.
The finishing touches on the speeches for
his approaching Western trip engaged Mr.
RooseveIt's time in part yesterday. and his
announcement to that effect brought the
query:
Have you consulted with the Congress
sfenai committee about the speeches?"
My speeches represent myself was Mr..
Rooseveits response, with q laugh
To-day he will have as q visitor at Saga
more Hill Representative Nicholas Long
worth, who has just come down from
Beverly, and the talk will probably be the
last important one in a political sense in
which Mfr. Roosevelt will indulge at Oyster
Bay until after his trip
He will leave New York oil Tuesday for
