PATERSON IN HANDS OF MOB
MILLS BADLY DAMAGED WITH
 STONES AND BULLETS,

l | chisfs, Among Whom Were Some ot 1 Bresct's Comrades, Lead the Mob i'm l Riotous Charges on the Mills. Paterson, N J., June 1S,-This city was in the hands of mob to-day. Never before in the history of this place has the city witnessed such lawlessness as existed during the entire day and tomorrow conditions promise to be worse. As result of to-day's riots a number of persons were shot and two at least will die. One of the latter is a reporter who was shot while on duty.
 The police did their work nobly to- day but they were so few in number that they could make little headway against the mob.
 Mills have been wrecked by stones and bullets by the striking silk dyers, helpers or roughs acting for them There have been threats to resort to the torch but so far the mayor hesitates about asking Governor Murphy for troops whose presence seems to be nee essary if the laWless element is to be held in check. The governor stands ready to throw the First or Fourth reg iments or both into this city at one hours notice, but the mayor hestates.
 The list of casualties are revised to- night is as follows:
 Lora Salyno, "A, Hackensack, rioter, bullet entered chest, passed through both lungs and emerged from back. Will die.
 Arthur Barrowslough, 25, spectator, shot in calf of left leg.
 Harry Harris, reporter. 32, shot in chest, head cut, face and body bruised, will probably die.
 Charles J. Robinson, patrolman, shot in arm.
 Joseph Miller, 25. Russian striker, shot in head, arms, legs and chest with bird shot.
 Samuel deYoung, q, a striker, shot in right arm.
 Charles deRue, milkman, shot in back while at work; injuries probably fatal.
 James Caughan, 2S, spectator, shot in back while at work; injuries probably fatal.
 Mozirno Boloi, 30 rioter, shot in neck,
 
 Martha Huyser, weaver, struck by stone and arm injured.
 There seems to be every indication that the riot was the result of a prear- ranged plan to involve the would-be peaceful element in the affair from the start. For some time past agents of anarchist circles have been quietly fan ming the flames.
 This morning Chairman McGrath, who has held the strikers in leash since he first obtained control on the second day of the strike, and who has since stood almost alone between the city and violence, was on hand and presided. He spoke as did an Englishman named Me- Queen, and Galleano. an avowed an archist McGrath could not understand the latter, but he worked his country men into a frenzy. Then Mcqueen leaped into control of the meeting. He called for vote on the question of calling for a general strike of all branches of the silk trade. All voted in favor, as no one dare vote otherwise, and a committee was appoint ed to consider means for bringing the silk workers out It gathered amid a babel of tongues and scene of confu- sion Five minutes later Galleano | from the group shouting some thing in Italian. Instantly, as if it was a preconcerted signal, a mob had form ed about him. Into 1t rushed the Italians | and then the other foreigners and a | later the mob led by Galleano | swept down Belmont avenue.
 A quarter of mile down Belmont | avenue stands the Columbia mill, silk ribbon factory. The doors had been ocked when the mob appeared, but | hey were forced open and with the ,rash of the doors came volley of stones which riddled the windows in he front of the building.
