Employers Associations Will Try
to Open Shops.

Members of the Associated Fur Manu-
facturers and the Mutual Protective Fur
Manufacturers Association will make a
general attempt to-day to break the strike
| of the seven thousand furriers, who walked
| out for more pay and shorter hours. They
will open their shops on the supposition
| that no small number OF the strikers are
ready to return. 1t is expected that the
attempts OF the employers will be bitterly
opposed.
Isadore Cohen, the strike leader, reported
last night that the German Fur workers
Union. which has been in existence for
thirty-three years and is an independent
organization, would strike in sympathy
with the idle men, Decision to this end
was taken at a meeting of the union IN
Odd Fellows Hall, No. 81 st. Mark

and fifty members, but they are among the
most skilled in the trade, and II they strike

Yesterday at Arlington Hall of the Fur
Foremen and Designers Association, TO
take up the question Of a sympathetic
strike The notice being short, only a few

till later in the week. The designers are
the highest paid of the fur workers. They
earn from s35 TO 800 a week, their average
being SO.

Captain Cummandani F.. P.

In tracing the history of this service from i79O down to the present time, Capt. Bertholf gave comparison of the cost of maintenance of five first class vessels of the service with a similar number in the navy, and was able to show difference of 50 per cent in favor of the form cr.' He also proved that instead of saving between one and two million dollars annually by abol ishing this service as suggested by tht presidents economy com mission, it would cost the govern mcnf at least Si,i25,00O moro to render the same service than it is now cXpcnding.-Railway and Marine News.
