PATTERSON, N. J.. March l5-The
striking silk weavers are quiet th.s
morning. They have made no disturb
ance thus far to-day. They are loiter-
ing about the streets, discussing the
situation.
They are out In full force. and 80 are
the police. The police are masters Of
the situation
Although the strikers appear to be
subdued for the present, because OF the
arrest and Imprisonment of some OF
their members for rioting, yet they may
break out again at any moment. They
are In an ugly mood, and 1t will not
require much to cause another outbreak.
The police have not been called upon
manufacturers. No further arrests have
been made since last night.
1t Is alleged by some of his critics
that Mayor Braun did not take more
vigorous steps at the critical time OF the
labor trouble b cause he was afraid the
strikers would boycott the beer brewed
by the Consolidated Brewing Company.
In which he Is interested.
There Is sharp rivalry between this
Company, which was organized by the
consolidation of several brewerles and
the Hinchcliffe Brewing Company. IT
