1T has been found by the magis-

Several things of importance were
learned yesterday by a young man VINO
previously had been writing neat para
graphs about new dumbbell exercises
in the Y. NJ. c. A.. In moment OF
misguided enthusiasm he volunteered
70 go to Kreutzer Hall. in East Eighty
sixth Street. and see how the brewery
workers were getting along with Their
share Of the great sympathetic strike
which doesn't appear to be getting
much sympathy.
The greatest Of the important bits
of knowledge acquired was, unless yor
have something the brewery bcys want
keep away from them. II they have
something you want they are apt to be-
come ferocious.
Kreutzer Hall is a large building
whose stoop and front porch are so
tastefully decorated with empty beer
kegs and splotches Of wet .awdust that
several of the brewery boys actually
burst into tears upon seeing them and
hurried back TO their jobs. Inside the
swinging doors on the ground floor is
a large room, presided over by mike"
At the far end of the room yester-
day sat a fat man who wore bright
blue suspenders and derby hat. He
was gazing gloomily at the bottom OF
an empty mug.
"Are you a brewery worker" he was
asked
"Naw | amt" he said. squeakingly.

Boats Left at Weehawken.

An Of the company's eight ferries
were abandoned at Weehawken. The
first crew left its post soon after 4
o'clock. and the last shortly after 3.
At 1880 the Niagara resumed service
between Weehawken and West Forty
second Street, but no attempt was
rade to take out any other boat Tho
Niagara's crew during the night had
been drafted chiefly from dock en-
poyes not connected with the boat
mems union. +. J.. Pollsck, the West
Shores superintendent Of ferries. ana
a brother Of the marine manager, was
acting as deck hand.
Tho situation was especially compli-
Gated by reason Of the fact that none
other save the West Shore line Of fer
ries plies between Manhattan and Wee
hawken. To reach the Weehawken sta
ton commuters had 10 make detour
Of many miles and take long trolley
tdc through Jersey. Then IN most
cases they found their train had left
an hour or 80 before their arrival at
Weehawken.
Every one who arrived AZ either the
Cortlandt or the West 42d Street ferry
house between 3 and $3.50 O'Clock
found the outer doors locked and could
not gam any lnliUslloH OF WHY HtiF nv
had been held up. As the crowds be
came larger their i'll humor grew. The
narrow shelter in front OF both houses
was soon packed tightly, and hundreds
Of commuters found themselves forced
20 stand outside in the rain. There
were many angry demonstrations when
final announcement OF the strike was
made.

Railways Company. To-day William
i. Fitzgerald will cash drafts for $780,

come event.
During the day the committee ap-
' pointed by the labor conference OF
greater New York and vicinity met 20
plan for the second convention. called
for Monday, when an effort will be
made to make the work suspension
movement effective. At adjournment
the only statement forthcoming was
the movement is still on and the 49,
600 reported out of work as a result Of
the movement will remain out.
Bohm Still Hopeful.
That the movement is far from dead
was the declaration Of Ernest BONN,
secretary Of the committee, who eX-
planned, because the sympathetic move
ment is new in New York and not
understood by labor folks generally
the start was necessarily slow. Mon
dav. he thought, would tell another
story. This also was the opinion Of
Hugh Frayne, chairman of the commit
tee and Of Wednesdays convention
Delegates from the locals included
in the Central Federated Union Of Man

session at the Labor Temple. 2S3 East

imously Endorsed all acts Of the gen
eral strike committee OF tnlrty-hNe

The recommendation Of the general
committee that representatives of all
tho unions meet At 2l0 9Th Street on
Monday morning was adopted. Reports
of the unions on their attitude toward
q general strike Will be made at the
meeting.
II was announced that monster
benefit for the striking car mems faml-
lies will be given next Wednesday
evening az the Star Casino, Lexington
Avenue and 10Th Street, under the au.
spices of the international Actors
Union.
Fitzgerald Shows Drafts.
Mr. Fitzgerald had no comment 70
make on the movement He was more
concerned with published statements to
the effect that his organization was
failing to make good its promises TO
take care of the men on strike. There
fore when five drafts were received
they were photographed and copies
given 20 the press that all might see
tangible evidence Of the Amalgamat-
eds loyalty 70 the strikers. Yet an
other draft of $4,000 for expenses was
not exposed 10 the camera.
In announcing the receipt OF the
money from Detroit Mr.. Fitzgerald
gave out a statement in which he said
that u 900 men are on strike, and the
number Of assertions smaller than in
any other large strike in the American
labor movement.

So a month raise all around. but com
promised on SO increase for deck
hands and 81 for all other union men.
Eve gave Mr.. Pollsck month to
render his decision, and he in turn
gave us his tentative promise that the
increases we had compromised upon
would become effective October /.
This morning he summoned com
mittec from the union 10 his Office and
announced that the increase would be
denied In other words. there was a
clear cut issue of bad faith. We had
been told our wages would be raised.
That promise was suddenly and with
out warning revoked on the eve of the
increase becoming effective.
There was nothing left for US 10 do
but to protest against such treatment
by walking out. The company brought
the strike upon itself, because it was
too grasping TO raise the pay OF ma
jority OF its men three cents a day"
Mr.. Pollack, after the strike had tied
up the ferries, announced that he was
prepared to fight the issue 10 a finish
lie declared he would employ strike
/ breakers this morning, would resume
normal service in time for commuters
10 reach Manhattan, and would refuse
10 deal in any way with his striking
employees. None Of the men who LEI:
their posts would be reemploycd, he
asserted.

Very handsome bags for the even
ing are made of faille silk or panne
velvet gathered to strips of Chinese
embroidery. These bags have oblong
covered frames or may be drawn up
on metal cord. The brighter the COL
ors in the embroidery, the smarter is
the bag; but the gathered lower por-
ton must be black or richly dark in
hue.
Charming little silk purses are made
of silk matching ones costume. Cut
two strips of silk, twelve inches long
and three wide. Embroider each strip
with a vine pattern in beads and Join
the strips along the outer edges with

that will never show itself off as
conspicuous feature of the costume

an who goes in for handbag excellence,
however, makes no mistake about the

handbag as surely robs costume Of
distinction in the opinion of this

Beaded handbags are the most ex-

beading in intricate patterns that de-
mand time and skill, is costly, and
such bags are mounted on superb
frames, with Jewels set in the design.
One fashionable bag has quaint

boots of taupe colored glazed kid with
white tops. The simple. but smart
lines of this frock owe their modish
character to careful stiffening of the
soft satin, not enough stiffening to
suggest itself by rigid lines, but just
enough to keep the satin from coll
lapsing in limp folds.
Velvet tailored suits are to be more
the vogue than ever this season, and
velvet promises to reach it's very apex

afternoon tailleur it is eminently the
proper thing. OF wine colored velvet

fur is the beautiful rose fox whose
pinkish tan color is exquisite with the
new wine colored fabrics. For wine,
claret and burgundy shades are as
much the vogue for formal and dressy
costumes as the brown shades are for
tailored garb. No more graceful
model has appeared this season than

falling in long panels, gathered at the
wai3tline. The triangular embroidered
motifs on the vest are in wine and
black shades; the buttons match them.
