MEN ARRESTED.

MEN ARRESTED.
Joseph Lutz, twenty five yesrs DID, James Rapp,
fd;ty-ffve years old. and Giuseppe Antonio,
twenty-five years old, Italian lsborers, all living
at Atlantic-ave. and Ssckman-st, Brooklyn, were
arrested last evening for sssaultng Martin Eltz-
gerald, the foreman who employed them. Fttz-
gerald is forty-four years old and lives at Rocka-
way and St. Marks aves., Brooklyn. He had
charge Of the work on block OF new houses az
ST. Mark's-ave. near East New-York-ave. He
had working under him about the place gang
Of eight or nine Italians. The men stopped work
at 5 p. m. yesterday and soon afterward consre-
gated few rods from liquor store kept by a
man named Lewis, at East New-Yerk and Liberty
ayes.
There Fitzgerald met the men and they de-
handed higher wages. He told them that he
would not pay them any more. Then the crowd
demanded that he pay them their wages and let
them stop work / won't pay you till the regu-
lar time You can stop work il you want TO, but
ycu won't get your money till pay day." answered
the foreman.
Then the trouble began. One Of the Italians
who had stick in his hand, in his anger threw
1t toward Fitzgerald and then the whole crowd
attacked him with angry shouts. There was pile
of bricks at the corner and, the men picked them
up and began to throw them at the foreman. lhey
hit him in the body aud on the head Though
they were on all sides of him he broke away from
them and ran for Lewiss liquor store, followed by
the flying bricks lie got into the place and there
asked for protection from the ruffians.
The crowd swarmed in on him there, however,
and the fight was renewed at close quarters. Lewis
did not want all his glassware and furniture
broken, so he told Fitzgerald to get cut. The
foreman made dash for the side door OF the
place and rushed into the street. He had not
gone far when the whole crowd was giving chase
hurting bricks and stones at him. One of the
stones, which is supposed 10 have been thrown by
Lutz hit Fitzgerald in the temple, and ne fell IN the
gutter. When the Italians saw him Ia4, they
took to their heels and separated.
No one attempted to stop their flight.
One of the persons who witnessed the last
attack when Fitzgerald was knocked down, was
Mrs. Brown, who knew him by sight. She
went 70 him at once. as he was lying in the gut
ter, and taking a basin of water, began TO oathe
his head. An ambulance arrived and ne was
taken TO the ST. Marys Hospital
About an hour after the fight the police traced
Lutz, Rapp and Antonio to their homes and
arrested them. They were locked mp in the
Seventeenth Prccint Station, and will be arralgned
in the Gates Avenue Police Court this morning.
