DEADLOCK IN CLOAK STRIKE
No Bitter Feeling Shown and Both
Sides Appear To Be Sanguine

The deadlock between the executive com
rnittee Of tbs Cloak Suit and Skirt Manu-
facturers' Protective Association and the
strike committee Of the cIoakmakers was
stronger than ever yesterday, though both
sides appeared TO be in sanguine mood, and
there appeared TO be an absence of any
bitter feeling.
On behalf of the strike committee a
statement TO the public" was issued, in
which it was stated that the strikers would
not waive in advance of any conference
anything they considered to be within their
rights and that they considered recognition
of the union a matter that could be con-
sidered al q conference with the other side.
About three hundred more OF the altera-
ton hands in the drygoods stores went on
strike a general meeting OF alteration
ha ads was afterward held in the Manhat-
tan Lyceum.
on behalf OF the manufacturers It was
stated last evening that the contention of
the strike leaders that the work would go
10 other cities if the strike lasted several
weeks was absurd. Orders from the job
bers were coming in as usual, they said.
adding that winter goods were not deliy-
ered until October. and they expected the
strike TO be ended long before then.

GOVERNMENT IN STRIKE
Offers to Arbitrate in Struggle
on the Grand Trunk.
BOTH SIDES HOLDING OFF
Canadian Pacific Reaches
Definite Agreement with
It's Men.

Montreal, July IA proposition 10 arbi-
trate came to the Grand Trunk Railway
! Company and the chairman of its striking
! trainmen and conductors to-day from W
| l. Mackenzie. Minister of Labor coupled
with the intimation that If both parties
would accept the award TO be binding the
| government would defray the Incidental
expenses. Speedy answers were requested
/ That OF the company was mailed to the
! minister at Ottawa but Mr. Hays declined
| to say what Il was. President Muir
dock. who sent the reply for the trainmen,
used the telegraph and gave out the
| document soon after
President Hays earlier in the day how
ever, said:
There has been persistent inquiry from
Ottawa as to the attitude of the Grand
Trunk in the matter of arbitrat ton, but
the mana cement regards it as utterly use
| less to make any suggestions in the face
of the declaration of the strike leaders that
arbitration is out of the question"
Mr.. Murdoch frankly confessed that he
does not believe that there is anything to
be gained by discussing arbitration, and
points out that the men have offered to
submit to arbitra tion the arbitrators to be
E. Z. Clark. of the United States Inter
state commerce COMMISSION ana = II
Morrissey. president of the Railway En-
ployes Association, who arbitrated the
same question in the case of some fourteen
roads in the same territory. The Grand
Trunk refused to accept this, says Mr..
Murdock, and adds that the men are still
willing TO renew the offer even though the
time appears to have passed when arbitra-
ton should be considered.
Op Grand
Trunk official made this comment:
They want to arbitrate II they are per
rr1itted TO name the arbitrators and fix the
award in advance
Though the reply of the men is not en-
couragng, 1t is believAd that the Minister
of Labor will continue his conciliatory
efforts.
Outside OF the arbitration talk the strike
developments were not important The com
pany has improved its passenger train ser
vice and has also started handling freight
in a small way. 1t is securing some men.
but at the present rate it will be weeks
before the service is back to normal
All possibility that the conductors and
rainnaen of the Canadian Pacific Railway
would follow the example OF their Grand
Trunk brothers was removed tonight, when
a definite agreement was reached between
the company and the men. Messrs. Leon
ard and McTier represented the company
and Vice President Murdoch and a commit
tee represented the men.
The gist of the decision. which IS largely
technical and covers all points OF the dis
pute, is that the standard rate OF pay for
the territory east of Chicago is recognized
by the company. The men have gained
about 90 per cent of their demands. The
new schedule will be retroactive 10 May /
The formal agreement viii be signed to-
morrow.
