sumption of the cloakmakers' strike
to-day after an apparent settlement
had been reached, WAS marked b.
suicide. q pistol fight. in which n
picket vas shot through the arm, and
numerous riots.

shop contention. When this plan vas
announced by John r. Lennon. treas
urer of the American Federation OF
Labor. who had been sent here By
President Gompers to conduct the
strike, at a big meeting last night.
the strikers became SO enraged tha.
Lennon and others thought it best 10
retire from the scene.
Morris Levinson. whose funds had
been exhausted by the strike, and who
was tired Of being a charge on his
mother, shot himself through the head
when he heard that the strikers would
not go back to work Monday.
At an early hour to-day the police
were called to Everett Hall, on East
Fourth street. to clear the place of a
number OF strike pickets, who had
been making the hall their headquar-
ters. They engaged in a fight this
morning, in which Joseph Mate was
