Having been by the proper authorities in

the several localities is great and must be

erty. Upon localities will fall the loss
resulting from riotous actions, and
upon them is the burden of
preserving peace. The military power of the
state will be promptly used by the local au-
thorities in their efforts to preserve the pub
lie peace and protect property. I give timely
notice to avoid any Misunderstanding. feel

will be made necessary.

duce the men to join the strike. They were
ordered away by the police. An effort to pre-.
vent freight train from leaving Jersy City
was also frustrated.

Morris Canal company have struck for in
creased wages.
The swltchmen in the yards of the four
companies demand restoration of 10 per cent
taken from their wages some years ago. The
switchmen also propose to do no more work
until the freight handlers have gained their
point. They held meeting to-day. A mum.
Der of speeches were made calling upon the
switchmen to be firm, as they were practically
masters of the situation. One speaker said
the switchmen were the keystone of the strikes.
Without them the whole structure of the
strike would fall to the ground. All the men
on the Weehawken branch of the New York,
Lake Erie & Western railroad have quit work

of the large oil refneries at Weehawken.
