Version of the ARRAY.
Duryea was quiet yesterday, a few
of Sheriff Jacobs office deputies stood
guard at the Warnke washery and ex-
perenced no difficulty. Small crowds
continually hovered about the wash
made.
General Manager Frederick Warnke
said, yesterday, that despite Thurs
days tumult. he was still determined
to operate his washery. He has new
plans for making II start, but declined
to make them public. Sheriff Jacobs
says that il another attempt is made
to operate the Warnke washery, he will
have to call troops.

men arrested by the borough police

refused to imprison young Warnke and
he went his way. Chief of Police Cos
grove, of Duryea, wanted to take
Warnke back to Duryea, but Warnke
told him to go hther. Chief Cosgrove
avowed he would get Warnke on Il
warrant in the morning. He didn't
succeed in this, however. Chief Cos
grove. on Thursday, averred to Trib-
une reporter that he only arrested the
deputies to assure them protection.
WHAT WARNKE SAID.
General Manager Fred Warnke said
to Il Tribune representative last even
ing: II wish to deny the claim made
by Mr. Mitchell to the effect that the
riot at Duryea on Thursday was started
by "a Lithuanian. The person respon-
sible for the beginning of the trouble
was man by the name of Cosgrove,
brother of the chief of police OF
Duryea-
"F'urthermore, it is my opinion that
the arrest of the men at the washery
was the elimination of "A plot hatched
by the borough authorities at the be-
hest of the strikers. In the morning.

rant for myself and brothers. i'll which
we were charged with maintaining a
nuisance, in having leaking pipe,
which discharged little water on
Stephens street. We were ordered to
appear before Burgess Burlington at
4.3O o'clock. We decided that it was
best for us not to appear. Myself and
brothers would have been killed had
we shown ourselves at the hearing. 1t
Is my honest opinion that Chief Cos
groves brother started the bother,
solely for the purpose of giving the bOr-
ough authorities an opportunity of arr
resting me and my men, and prevent
ing the operation of the washery. 1t
is a remarkable thing, to say the least,
that Chief COsgrove had thirty-two
men sworn in as special officers that
day. A police force of thirty-two is, I
take it, pretty good sized force for Il
village of the dimensions of Duryea."
CARRIN AT HOSPITAL.
The wounding of Harry Carrin, the
deputy lying at the hospital with
broken head. was even more brutal
than pictured in The Tribune's account
of the episode.
Carrin and two other deputies, who
broke from the washery and started up
the track, We're Overtaken at the Dela-
ware. Lackawanna and Western sta
ton and surrounded by a savage crowd.
They retreated to the side OF the sta
tion, drew their guns and waited for
what would happen. The crowd surged
about them, and finally some English
speaking striker told them If they gave
up their guns and threw up their hands,
they would be protected. They sup
posed the speaker was n borough police
man, and agreed to the proposition.
They gave up their guns and threw up
their hands As Carrin stood with his
hands raised. an Italian felled him with
base ball bat, and pounded him in the
face ms e lay PROSTATE on the station
platform. Another Of the trio was hit
in the face with Il stone. The third,

carrin was dragged into the station
by the station agent and left lying on
the floor, while awaiting the coming of
Il doctor. AS he lay bleeding and un-
conscious on the floor of the waiting
room, Il stone crashed through the win

stone struck his fractured skull. 1t was

NO GREAT EFFORT.
In yesterdays Tribune it was exclus-
lively stated that Leo Gilboy, son of one
of the best known citizens of Duryea,
could give the name of the Italian who
struck down Carrin Chief Cosgrove
and his thirty-two officers made no
effort, on at least no successful effort,
to apprehend the fiendish and cowardly
fellow.
Yesterday was devoid of any import
ant developments in the strike situ-
alton, Neither the superintendents or
strikers headquarters had anything To
give out, except that each side was as
determined as ever to win victory at
any cost.
