Xew York, Feb. 20. Representa
tives of about seventy-five tailors'
unions throughout the country have
just held a convention here to take
measures for fighting the contract
system. Fifty-nine local unions were
represented by delegates from Now
York, Newark, Host on, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Haltimore, Syracuse, St.
l.ouis. Chicago and a number of other
cities. All the clothing trades were
represented except the cutters.
The chairman made the following
statements:
“Our objects are to do away with
the contract system in the trade; to
bring about a uniform system of
wages and hours of labor; to fight
for the substitution of electricity
and steam power for foot work wi i
sewing machines and to bring about
other reforms. This is the biggc>4
movement in the trade yet under
taken. Strikes will not necessarily
be our weapon in the fight if we can
not accomplish the reforms by peace
