stump of approval on the oontrucl which
will give a substantia wuge Increas-o

In the atitlimclte roal Held yesterday tho
operators permitted the announcement to
go forth that the vrlro of coal wilt be

A representative of one nf the biggest
coal companies told Tiik sc.v that most
of the Increase wl.l be pin cod on do

The wag .-.t ference, JuM concluded
between tin tivter. and operators, has
been In inanv wa;. s one of the most suc

EMPLOYERS ARE WORRIED
The SO.rjot) cloakmakcrtt who wero
locked out by their emplojcrs. yesterday
didn't rseern much perturbed over tho
prospect of a long and hard light. They
fperit the day parading tho street and
Hinging; the "Marseillaise." To-morrow
they will hold mcetlnga In alxty-two
hall, it Ut their Intention to even up the
rcore with their employers by declaring
themselves on Mrlky for higher pay and
a number of other thing, which tho em
ploers naturally will be loath to grant.
.Meanwhile, all was not peace in the
ranks: of the Manufacturers Trotcctlvc
Association. It was the executive com
mittee of this orgaliliatlon which voted
for tho lockout on the grounds that the
activities, demands and interference of
the union leaders wero becoming unbear
able. Several mcmbera said that they
cix.slilcreil the executive committee's ac
tion nrnstic, to say the least, and trial
they Joined In tho movement to lock out
worktr not because of n desire to take
that step, hut because a majority of tho
association so voted.
One of theso was Joseph II. Cohen of
I Kast Thlrty-thlrd street. A repre
sentative of Mr. Cohen said that although
Mr. Cohen was a member of the aoei...
tloi.'s c.xicutlvo i iimtnltteo he vigorously
opposed the lockout and consented to It
mly when convinced that a majority of
the numbers wiro determined on that
score.
The action of tho association has not
met with much favor In orllcl.il circles,
largely It would stop because Its mem
bets llrt declined t Ith curt than). an
olfer of mediation by Maor Mltohel
and latir on,, by Jacult Schlrt. Mr.
Schlff remarked icsterday that It whs
his llret opportunity to express unquali
fied sympatic with ,i strike In this city.
Mr. Svhiff has made promises of suppo'rt
