THE BALEIGU DAILY TBIBIjv (Illffi Will Hold an Immense Alass Meeting Next Week. THE 111 OF THE OBJECT OF THIS BIG MEET ING IS TO CONVINCE PEOPLE That the Garment Worker's Grlev ance Justify Them In Striking The Strike Spreads to Philadel phia, Also to Newark. Speciai to The Tribune. - New York, May 20. The various branches of the United Garment Work ers of America expect to hold a public demonstration early, next week, that they say will be unparalleled by any other movement of the kind. Commit tees to supervise this mass-meeting have been appointed, and they began early this morning to notify the branches of the garment-making trade of their intentions, and solicit their co-operation. Leader Schoenfeld was in his office early this morning organ izing the work. There are nearly one hundred committees to look after. "This movement," said Schoenfeld to a Mail and Express reporter, "grew out of the various mass-meetings- we have been holding. Our object is to set in motion a tidal wave that will carry public sentiment in our favor. The' demonstration will either be held in Madison Square Garden or Union Square, more probably in the latter place. "Labor organizations throughout the city are in sympathy with us, and will assist us. All the branches, on the evening of the mass-meetlngr, will as semble in the, neighborhood of Wal halla Hall and march to the meeting place. Perhaps there will be 25,000 men and women in line maybe more. We are anxious to have the public know the true situation, and this is our object in holding this meeting. We want to show that our strike is just." The Executive Committee of the Gar ment makens this morning began the task of formulating the wage scale. One faction approves of the weekly wage system, while another wants the piecework system. When the scale is definitely fixed it will ' be sent to. the various uniona . an"J-.d w uh the uuiied Garment makers of America for ratification, after -which it will be sub mitted to the contractors. The con tractors who agree to its terms, arid bind themselves to live up to its pro visions, can then open up their shops on a union .basis. Vhen Leader Schoenfeld- was asked about the report that the State. Board of -Arbitration and Mediation would make an effort. to adjust the difficulties, he replied that the union would be wil ling to allow any commission or socie ty to investigate existing conditions. Several contractors, the strike leader say, have announced their intention of using their influence in forcing the manufacturers to advance 'the present scale of wages. The majority of the 76ntractors disapprove of this policy. They say that the exisiting prices are higher than-they have ever been. The "strikers say they have never received so little money for their work, artd'that ten years ago they were earning from $20 to $30 a week. A committee from the Women Tail ors' Union called at strike headquar ters 'to-day and held a conference with the Executive Board. The board au thorized a meeting of the women's branch to-morrow night, at No. 209 east Broadway. John Swinton, Nora Ileilly, Minnie Posen and others will speak. About 1,500 women engaged in the tailoring trade are affected by the strike in the city. It is reported that Jacob Barondess is making a tour of the Eastern rjianu facturing centers, with a view of spreading the strike movement. At. Walhalla Hall this morning the offi cials said they had no knowledge of his movement. . This morning a hansome carriage drawn by a team of spanking grays liveried coachman. Such a turnout is rarely seen in Orchard street. In the - ( arriage was a lady, w ho, said she was Miss Williams, of the W. C. T. IT. She made inquiries of the men and took copious notes. She said her mission was to help the unemployed. Several hundred workmen have joined the strike since yesterday, and by the end of the week the strikers? say every shop in the City will be closed. Strike Spreads In Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Pa., May 20. The coat makers' branch of the Garment Work -ers'.Union, to the number or. 260. joined the Garment Workers" strike this morning. Several branches of the union also decided last night to join in the strike, and meetings will be held this afternoon and evening bv other branches of the organization. It is believed that unless the contractors accede to the demands there will be from 7,000 to S.000 garment workers on strike by the end of the week. 9 Newark Strikers Number 1,000 Newark, N. J., May 20. There is a strike here of the garment makers. At a meeting last nVight local Union No 24 ordered the strike. Nearlv 1.000 per sons are affected. ' Legends on Abyssinian Coins. Kansas City Journal. The inscription on some of our coins, "In God we Trust," is to be more than matched by the legend that Is to ap pear on the new coins that are to be issued by Menelek, the, King of Abys sinia. The coins are to be struck in France; they are to be of silver and the unit of value will be the "talari." which will be practically the value of the American dollar. On one side of the coin will be the face of the King, w ith the inscription, "Johannes Menelek King of the Kings of Ethiopia," On the other side will he the figure of a lion, representing "The Lion of Judah," a. cross' and the inscription, Lthiopia Stretches-Out Her Hand to God Alone." PUBLIC WM MM I The Tribune's Directory of Alatters of Interest About Raleigh. The beautiful "City of Oaks," capital of the Commonwealth of North Caro lina, was laid out from a piece of land purchased from Colonel Joel Lane, by commissioners appointed by the Gene ral Assembly for that purpose, on the 4th day of April, 1792. It is situated upon the rise that, begins to mark the lower from the upper portion of the State, upon easy undulations,, only three hundred feet above the sea, sur rounded by lands In high stateof cul tivation, with a most equable climate, and withal presents as many attractions for all that constitutes a desirable home as any city upon the Atlantic slope. While dacking in some of. the advan tages alike of the sea-coast and the mountain, It possesses many not com mon to either. No disease has ever ap peared liere In its most virulent form, and its rate of mortality is far below the average. Together with Aiken, S. C, Raleigh was recommended by a commission of army surgeons as a pro per and suitable point for the establish ment of a Government sanitarium. " The population of Raleigh has always been one of remarkable culture, chiv alrous but conservative and law abiding; and though the centre of all political excitement, and enjoying the utmost freedom of discussion and ex pression of opinion, it is its proud boast that it has never had a riot. "A beau tiful and appropriate monument erect ed by the new to one of the most illus trious political martyrs of the old World, and by North Carolina to the author of the first attempt at coloniza tion within her borders," Raleigh has always maintained an enviable repu tation as the home of brave aetion and refined culture. Frpm a village of some four or five thousand in 1865,' Raleigh has steadily grown into a respectable city of about eighteen thousand, including the popu lation upon its outskirts not strictly within its sharply-defined limits. Its city government is of the best order, strictly but mildly enforced; it has an efficient system of street railway; a thorough and satisfactory water su pply; a well equipped fire department; Is beautifully lighted by electricity; has its main thoroughfares paved; has a weii-conauctea telephone system; is adorned with a number of magnificent public buildings and private residences; its population is employed by many and varied industries; has churches of all the leading denominations; its public and private school facilities- are most excellent; its debt is small, and its credit is high. In a- word we have a city of which we speak withr pride and to which we cordially Invite the indus trious and honest home-seeker. Raleigh Police Census, 1896. In the census taken by this depart ment, the enumerators received -and conscientiously followed instructions, putting the name of no one on their books who lived outside the corporate limits. This showed a population of 13,081. When we recall the fact that the corporate limits have not been ex tended since 1856, that a large number of our citizens who are essentially of the city, have built up homes just out side, that the increase by reason of es tablishment of factories and manufac turing plants is all on the outside, amounting, in round numbers to not less than 4.500, we can reasonably claim a population incident to and being a part of our city of not less than 17,500 showing a gratifying increase since .the census taken In 1890.
