TAILORS
ON STRIKE
.Walkout Occurs at Noon-
ftesult of Secret Meeting
of Union Journeymen's
- Demands for Jlore Pay lie
, fused by Employers.
Every anion tailor in Portland quit
work at noon today as ft-result or a e
cret rneetfnf of tha executive board of
v tt) journeyman tailor" union.; neld at
1Z o'clock In the Union building. About
men are affected by the strike and
tliey aay they will not return to work
until their demand for more pay are
met.'
v. The strike of the tailors has been
, lji-awlng for some time and -the master
"" have been preparing ' for' It ' by
e'tlng- hold of a many non-union 'men
' (j'HSf-ible. They say that' they will
accede to the demands ' of, th;3our-;.(
neymen tailors and will fight the thing
through .to the finish rather than pay
the additional $2.60 a suit demanded by
me union.
Prloe Per Suit Sailed.
Last fall the union put up the prlci
per suit and as business was good ths
master tailors agreed to the raise. Soon
arterwarda they formed an association
however, with K. 8. Ervln as president
and J. B. Coffey as secretary. The first
of the year they served notice that they
would reduce wages to the former
schedule. The union held several meet
ings and U was thought than that a
strike might be declared but after con
ferrlng with the national headquarters
in isow xorK it was aeciaea to accept
the decrease.
A few weeks ago, when spring busi
ness Degan picmng up, the union held
more meetings, as a result of which It
asked that they be given 12.60 addltlonni
per suit. The master tailors refused to
grant the increase, and at this noon's
metlng It was decided not to return to
work this afternoon,
Kcfnse to Grant Balss.
Secretary J. B. Coffey of the Master
Tailors' association said that the master
tailors could not afford to grant any in
crease. "We are paying them as much now
as we can afford," said Mr. Coffey.
"Business conditions are not good in
our line," said Mr. Coffey, "and we
cannot pay our men the money they
ask. Many of us are not making any
thing on a suit of clothes as It is.
Others are losing money. We had bet
ter shut up shop rather than pay our
tailors more money at this time. I
suppose about 200 men will go out on
the strike." '
Comins; lust as it does the strike will
leave all sorts of underdone spring suits
in the shops. The tailors evident v
planned it with that end in view. The
master tailors, however, say they will
