Large Number Attend the Enter
tainment Given for Hospital
Benefit Last Night.
A GOOD PROGRAM.
Those Who Took Part were at Their Best
and Kept the Audience Amused From
the Time the Curtain Raised Until the
Close - All Present We're Well
Pleased.

A large audience attended the vaude-
Vile. show given for the benefit of the
City Hospital in Music Hall last even
ing. The weather was cool and the
performance excellent, so that every
one present was assured comfort and
enjoyment, and the hospital was en-
abled to add materially to its treasury.
The entertainment was one of the
best of it's kind ever presented before
a local audience, and afforded two
hours of laughter and enjoyment to
those present. The laughable comedy,
"Bill's Kid" the sketch entitled
"Stage Struck and the one act
farce, Turning the Tables, were all
greatly enjoyed and very amusing
while the vaudeville numbers were
first class.
Miss Mabel Mullins gave a recita-
tion in charming style, and Chester
Gillis sang a coon song that made a
decided hit.
The amount cleared has not been
accurately determined as yet. but it
was surely successful. Much credit
is due to the committee which had
things in charge, and thanks are due
to the merchants of the city for the
liberal advertising noted on, the pro-
grams.

STRIKERS AT OSTRANDER'S
MAKE MIDNIGHT ATTACK.
Sheriff enties now Guard the Place and Some Fear More IrOu
BILE Tonight About II O'clock Some Of the Number Gathered
About the Place and Deputies Fired Several Shots le-
parted Trouble in Paying the Men.

Because one laborer at the Ostrander
Fire Brick Works at Keasbey was dis
charged by Walter Dunham, the assist
ant manager at the plaDt, the rest OF
the employees notified the firm unless
the fellow was put back at work by
noon they would all be called off by
their delegate. The firm refused to
reinstate the man and all the employ
es. 140 in number, walked out and
the plant is now tied up. The otflclals
Of the firm asked for deputies and
last night twelve were on guard at
the works under Richard Peltier.
They will remain until the strike is
over.
A News reporter went out to the
factory this morning and, in conversa-
tion with Mr.. Dunham, learned that
a short time ago the fellow who was
discharged, applied for work at the
factory. "He was just over from the
old country" Mr.. Dunham continued,
"but put him on. The other day
he stayed home and when he came
back / discharged him. The result Is
as you now see. -
Mr.. Dunham further said that the
firm would try to get things In work
ing order again very soon. When
asked if the fellow would be rein
stated, Mr.. Dunham said not at any
cost.
This morning hardly striker could
be found around the plant. The
deputies claim that at about IL O'Clock
last night crowd of strikers, about
thirty in number, made an attack on
the factory, but the deputies were
ready and a number of shots were
fred in the air. The men fled.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Ostrander
told the men if they did not return to
work right away he would pay them
off and consider them discharged.
They said thev wanted their money.
AS is the custom at the Ostrander
works, the men were paid with checks.
They refused these yesterday, saying
that they must get the cash or there
would be trouble. Mr.. Ostrander
thereupon came to Perth Amboy
where he got the cash and when ne
returned the deputies went with him.
When the crowd saw the deputies
they cooled off considerably and lined
up for their money. Only ten at
time were allowed in the office. One
hundred of the men received their
pay, the other forty not yet having
appeared Tonight mass meeting OF
the strikers and their friends will be
held at O'Clock in Fedak's Hall at
Keasbey. After the meeting 1t is
hard to say what will happen.
The factory officials say that when
the men walked out that they threat
ened to make trouble. Sheriff Car
man was on hand at the works this
morning to see if any more help was
needed. The deputies expect the
strikers will be more active tonight
as they expect trouble after the
meeting.
