dispatched to the Phalanx mills, at

in the vicinity of the mills to prevent any
congregation of people on the streets.

massed in North street before the dis
tributjen and the men dispatched to the
mills went quietly. On the outside men
Poidebard's mill which couples bleck,
was surrounded by a, thin. Gordon of pa-
lice.

mill when the whistle blew and the gates
were thrown OPEN Most of these were

women and men, who had apparently
intended to go to work, especially those
who live across the West Hoboken line,
stopped at Paterson street. Many of
them had their lunches. There were no
outward efforts made on the part Of any
enc to prevent or persuade them from
going TO work. Except those who de-
sired to go to work or pass on down
Summit avenue, the crowd was kept on
the West Hoboken side of Paterson
street. Many in the crowd were drawn
there out Of curiosity.
Weayers who decided to remain out
refused to talk erthe situation, A few
of the West Hobolzen crowd looked sui
len defiance at the police when ordered
to move back, but obeyed with more or
less alacrity.
They dispersed within half an hour
after the whistle blew, and 1t was said
that they were off TO ameeting in West
Hobsken. The police force remained on
duty for several hours anticipating a
body of marchers with band to make
demonstration to intimidate those who
had gone inside. Those inside, it was
said, when they found they were SO few,
decided not to work. The women sat at
the windows and looked down on the
scene below. There was absolutely ne
disorder.
About the same state Of affairs exist
ed at the Phalanx mill. There were not
enough hands to go in to call it an open
ing up of the mill, even if those inside
went to work.
All the mills were working with re-
duced force before the lookout of Fri
day last, because of lack Of material
brought about by the Paterson dyers'
strike Stohn's Sons did not elese down
