Scattery Mob With Water.
New York, June 21.-All but three of
the silk mills in Hudson county, N. j.,
have closed down. About ten thousand
hands are in consequence out of en-
| ployment, and within twenty-four
hours the number will likely reach 49,
OG0. The immediate cause of the shut
| ting down Of the mills was the dyers'
strike riot in Paterson. The majority
IF the proprietors of the silk manufac-
turing establishments in Hudson, fear
Ing an outbreak of similar trouble
here, decided as the result of a con-
ference to close down indefinitely. The
expected trouble came late in the af-
ternoon when a mob of 500 men and
women gathered at Simon's mill in
Union Hill. Police Captain Knight
and his five men and a few citizens
kept the mob in check until the fire
department was called out. The fire.
men turned eight streams Of water on
the crowd and scattered it. Seventeen
persons were injured.
Demanded Protection.
Paterson, N. j., June PA delega-
ton representing the mill owners
called on the mayor and demanded
protection. The mayor replied that he
was affording it. To this it was re-
piled that the force was too small and
would be over-ridden by a mob of any
size; that it was impossible to con-
certrate any great number of men at
any point, and that a large portion Of
the deputy sheriffs were green hands
and unreliable. It was pointed out
that the mill hands were afraid to
work and were in momentary fear of
attack. This resulted in an appeal to
the governor, who was in Newark, for
troofs. and the consequent action of
Gan. Campbell.
Quiet Day I'm Patterson.
In the main yesterday was a quiet
Day in this city. The most important
event was the suspension from duty Of
Chief of Police Fred c. Graul by May
or Hinchcliffe and the assumption by
the mayor of the duties Of that posi-
ton. William Mcqueen, the Eng
lishman who was prominent at
Wednesdays meeting before the riot
Eng began, has left the city and is be-
ieved to be in New York. Galleano,
the italian, and Grossman, the Ger
man, who are said to have been prom
Inent Wednesday, have also kept from
public notice. Mayor Hinchcliffe
wishes to interview all these men.
Lacking a leader and keeping out Of
the heavy rain of the early day, the
rioters did nothing when a majority of
the mills they closed Wednesday by
their violence resumed work.
The police are under orders to shoot
straight if they should have another
encounter with the rioters, and the
mayor has had copies OF the riot act
distributed.
