WOULD ENJOIN CARTER
POLICEMAN's PROTECTIVE ASSO-
CITATION WARS ON MAYOR.


CHICAGO, Jan PA bill was filed in
the circuit court today asking for an in
junction to restrain Mayor Carter Har-
rison and Chief Of Police O'NeiI from sus-
pending from the police force or from
interfering in any manner with any mem
Der of the Poiceman's Protective asso-
citation because of membership in such
association.
1t is alleged in the bill that the police
men have no remedy at law and that
Mayor Harrison and Chief O'Neil have
threatened to discharge the members of
the Policeman's Protective association
on a showing that they are connected
with the association. The bill alleges that
the action of the mayor and his chief of
police is calculated to prevent the mem
bers of the association from assembling
in lawful manner and therefore the
court is asked to grant an Injunction
1t is claimed by Mayor Harrison that
the association was formed for political
purposes alone and must be abandoned
for the good of the service. The associa-
ton is said TO have collected a fund of
over $4,000 since its formation two
months ago. The hearing of the petition
was set for Thursday.

PASSAlG FEARS STRIKE.
Foreign Mill Hands Organize
at Call of Union Leaders.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News.'l
PAsSAIC, March %. 1902.-Passaic is
threatened with a great strike. The po-
lice yesterday. through Chief Hendry, an
nounced that unless strenuous efforts
were made a strike which would tie up
every mill of any size in the city, and
affect fifteen thousand men. would take
place April 1.
The police have known for two weeks
that strike was impending In fact,
Chief Hendry and his men have been try
ing to break up the organization which
has been formed, it is claimed. for the sole
object of causing a general tie-up of the
mills.
Two of the leaders from the Pennsyl-
vania coal regions have been at work i'll
Pasasic for two weeks organizing the
Hungarians, Slavs. Italians and other for
eigners, who make up two-thirds of the
mill workers OF the city. Sunday meet
ing was held in the mill section. at which
the leaders made addresses in foreign
languages, and one thousand men paid an
assessment of twenty-five cents each to
join the organization. Another meeting
is to be held next Sunday.
The complaint of the leaders is that the
foreign workers in the mills do not re-
caive as high wages as the American born
operatives get. The owners say that to
make general increase of wages at this
time would bankrupt them.
If the strike takes place on the lines laid
down by the leaders, the mill owners say.
it will mean the precipitation of series
of riots. A few years ago, where there
was a small strike of Hungarians and
Italians, several riots occurred, as the
men are desperate lot, and not more
than one in ten can speak English. Tie
principal mills to be affected by such a
strike would be the Botany, employing
4,50O hands; the Gera, employing 1000; the
Waterhouse. the Baseh the Manhattan
and Passaic Print Works and the Reid &
Barry mills
Mayor Home said yesterday that If the
strike should occur he would be compelled
to take drastic measures. Action looking
toward the settlement Of the trouble is
to be taken at once.

COMMISSIONER HEINTzE'S VIEWS
He Shows How the Present
System Saves the Peoples
Money.
OhMISSIONER HEINTzE'S VIEWS

The passage of the single-head Stret and
Water Commission bill has caused great
deal of excitement in the City Hall and in
political circles generally. Opinion is di-
vided along party lines. The Republicans
favor it because they want to take this
department from the Democrats. The
Democrats oppose it as strongly because
it would give Mayor Fagan absolute con-
troll over the department, as he has the
appointing of the commissioner. One of
the points made is that the new arrange
ment will cost the city a great deal more
money than at present.
Commissioner Heintze spoke about the
bill this morning to a reporter of THE
News" He said
1.-THE question of the cost of the two
commissions is the first that presents IT.
self to the taxpayer. The present Board
of five commissioners is maintained at a
salary of $4,000 a year. Each receives
s.. COO year. Under these is a small staff
of clerks who are kept constantly busy.
Then there is what would seem an in
sufficient number of superintendents and
foremen. The number Is not insufficient
inasmueh as the five commissioners are
constantly acting as general superinten-
dents. We have so divided the various
branches of the work that we get over
a great deal of ground in an effective and
entirely satisfactory manner.
with single man commissioner there
would be a saving in the salary of the
commission of 5000 year. The new
salary of the commission of 5000 year.
The new bill fixes the salary of the single
commissioner at $5G00 a year. This lonely
commissioner would find himself utterly
unable to leave his office. What work the
present commissioners do would have to
be turned over to clerks or underlings
of some kind at salary. This would
necessitate the engagement of more
clerks, foremen and superintendents. At
least a dozen new employees would be re-
quired No one of them could be had
for less than 81 200 year. The majority
would have to be paid $3.50 a year Thus
it is seen that at the very lowest these
new employees would cost $4,000 year.
AS the new arrangement in no place saves
more than s., 600 in the matter of salaries
it is plain that the single commission will
cost the city $1,000 year more than at
present"
