MORE MONEY NEEDED.
Everything Progressing splendidly For the
Big Firemens Tournament

At the meeting last night of the mem
bers of the various committees who have
in charge the details of the manage
ment of the Firemen's Tournament, re-
ports of progress were submitted These
showed that everything is progressing
spleendidly, and that there is no hitch
anywhere. The boys of the hook and
ladder. truck and hose companies are
practicing regularly every day, and they
are doing fine work
But the money is not coming in fast
enough. Everything points to a tremend-
ousIy successful meeting, and it would
be too bad to think that the lack of
little generous support should make
it all naught. More money is abso-
iutely necessary, and that is all. There
is nothing else that has not been well
provided for.

HE MAYOR IN CONTROL
Mills Run by Armed Employees. Plans to Bun
Out Anarchists
(By the Associated Press

tby the Associated Press
Paterson, N. j., June 2O-Mayor HinCh-
cliffe seems tonight to be incomplete
control of the situation here. backed as
he is by the entire peace controlling
force of the city and county and goodly
portion of the State militia. The sold
iers' presence has had a deterrent effect
upon the Reds and they are not in evil
dence today. The troops will remain on
duty all night and be relieved by the
deputies in the morning.
A number of silk mills opened at the
usual hour today, the owners relying
upon the promise of the mayor that
troops would be called out to protect
property. At all the mills that started
up policemen, firemen or deputy sheriffs
were on guard, and every crowd that
gathered at any of the plants was dis
persed. All the mills and employers
were supplied with arms and ammuni
tion to protest themselves and their en-
ployer's property in case of attack.
An organization has been completed
composed of fifty wealthy business men
of this city to be known to the public
as the.Paterson Vigilance Committee but
the membership and proceedings are not
to be made public. Private detectives
have already been engaged to shadow the
leading Reds. The anarchists are to be
induced to leave Paterson quietly if
possible. One of the methods to be en-
ployed is said to be the keeping of a
blacklist and no matter where one who
is on it works in Paterson his employer
will be notified to dismiss him.
IF this plan be carried out it will
starye ont of tho CITY ALL anarchists who
may come here. 1t is said the committee
has $250,000 pledged by the men COM
posing it to carry out it's purposes.
