STRIKERS MUST ANSWER
Vice Chancellor Adjourns the
Paterson Silk Mill Con-
tempt Case.

Vice Chancellor Pitney, when the Court
of Chancery reassembled after the noon
recess yesterday, continued his remarks
in the case of the Paterson strikers who
are charged with being in contempt OF
court for violating an order directing
them to refrain from in any way molest-
ing the young ladies, who have refused to
strike in Frank & Dugan's silk mill in
same strain that he did in the morning,
as set forth in yesterdays Jersey City
News the purport of his remarks being
that the court would protect the girls who
wished to work.
Counsel for the defense was very
strenuous in his insistenee that the men
complained of had not violated the letter
or spirit of the Restraining order. He
said that the affidavit of the complain
ants set forth that the defendants had
sneered at them on the street, had point
ed them out to others for the purpose of
holding them up to contempt, and in other
ways annoyed them. This the defendants
denied claiming that the facial express
sions complained of were not sneers.
"Does the court intend to control the
facial expressions of people?' asked Mr..
Blauvelt, the strikers counsel.
mo, not that, exactly" meekly replied
the Vice Chancellor.
Mr.. John Harding, who appeared for the
complainants, said the acts which he had
laid before the Court were the mildest
forms of the annoyance to which the
strikers had subjected the girls who re-
manned at work. and asked permission to
read several affidavits to that effect
which he had prepared. Mr.. Blauvelt
said that his side had not had time to
prepare affidavits in answer to Mr.. Hard
ings charges and he asked for an ad-
journment in order that he might do So.
After some further talk it was decided
that the witnesses on both sides should
be examined in open court before the Vice
Chancellor and the matter was adjourned
until next Monday for that nurnoSe.
