militia and Gen. Huiderkoher took them
from the constable. The vigilance COM

TROUBLE AT PORT JOHNSON.
New YORK, Aug. 8.
There is more trouble at Port johnson
and Bergen Point among coal beavers
This morning rs of the old hands returned
to work at the old wages. At noon they
went home to dinner and were met at the
end of the plank road by their wives and
the wives of other strikers, who attacked
them with stockings filled with stones.
The men did not return to work in the af-
ternoon. About five o'clock 70 Germans,
who had been working in the strikers
places struck, as the work was too hard,
and they were only making 60 cents day,
instead of $1.5o as promised. Four hun
dred strikers called on Mayor Meigs, ac-
companied by Father Killeen, and asked
him to call on the coal company and re-
quest them to pay decent prices. The
mayor promised to do what he could for
them, and urged them to keep the peace.
