CITY LABORE'S PAY.
Some Will Probably Receive
Higher Compensation.

Street and Water Commissioner
Heintze, who was one of the Commits
sioners who listened to the grievances
of representatives of several branches of
laborers employed by the city, said to
day that it was probable the Board
would recommend an increase of fifty
cents day in the wages of those labor
ers emplayed in laying pipes in trenches.
.These men have to work in muddy and
filthy trenches, at times standing up to
their knees or waists in mud and water,
and two dollars a day, which they receive
now, is hardly fair compensation for such
work. Some of the other men who are
complaining are not likely to receive a
recommendation for higher wages. We
are not through yet in listening to all
the grievances.

Bay Street Residents Flee
In Terror to Escape a
Shower Of Bullets.
ONE WOMAN WOUNDED
Detective Dan Lees Daring
Capture Prisoner held
In $4,000 Bail

Late last night, while crowds were
still ON the street seeking fresh air, Jo-
seph Mileski, who had been for hours
annoyed by boys tapping on the window
of his little shop, at No. 167 Bay street,
rushed frantically into the street and
fred five shots at random from a thirty
eight calibre revolver.
Men, women and children fed in all
directions, seeking shelter from the fly
ing bullets. Some of the women had
babes in their arms and other children
tugging at their skirts.
The firing of the shots had attracted
attention from other quarters, and
great crowd gathered. Among thase who
heard the shots was Detective Dan Lee,
who rushed to the scene just in time to
see woman limping as though in pain,
and Mileski rushing back into the shop.
Mileski locked the door behind him and
could be seen in the rear reloading his
revolver eDspite the warnings Of the
crowd to Lee that he would be killed if
he entered the shop, Lee up with his
right foot and crashed in the door and.
before Mileski could get bead on him.
the detective had hold of him and the
two struggled desperately for possession
of the revolver. Both fell and still strug-
gled on the floor. Lee finally got pos
session and dragged Mieski out of his
shop. Meanwhile a great crowd had
gathered in front of the store.
The crowd was menacing, and there
We're cries of Lynch him, = Lynch himr'
Lee drew revolver and told the ex-
cited men in the crowd that the first
man who attempted to take his prisoner
from him he would shoot him down. He
got his prisoner to the nearest signal
box and Mileski was few minutes later
wheeled away to a ceH in the Gregory
street station.
The plucky detective then, after the
patrol wagon had reached the station and
he had delivered over his prisoner, went
back to the. scene of the shooting and
his struggle. He found neat patent
leather slipper stained in and outside
with blood. 1t was found to belong to
Annie saminiski, a pretty young Polish
woman, who lives at No. 1S3 Bay street.
One of Mileski's bullets had struck her
in the foot. She was sent to st. Francis
Hospital. Mileski was arraigned in the
First Criminal Court this morning and

HOUSE REFORM.
New Tenement Commission
Meets and Prepares for
Work.
Especial to eThe Jersey city News..')

TRENTON, May %, 1908 meet
ing of the tenement house commission,
appointed by Governor Murphy last
week, was held at the State House this
morning, when the board organized and
mapped out plan for the big task that
is before it.
The work of investigation and gather
ing statistics on which to base draft of
the proposed new law was discussed and
gotten under way. The commission in
tends to go into the work promptly and
to make a thorough investigation Of the
tenement house conditions in this State,
so as to be able to prepare a compre-
hensive report for presentation to the
next legislature.
In his annual message to the Legisa-
ture, at the beginning of the last ses-
sion, Governor Murphy warmly recon-
mended that action be taken by the law
makers,in regard to the tenement house
question.
AS our State grows in population an
increasing number Of the people are
compelled to live in tenements," said the
Governor in his message. Fortunately
the percentage now compelled to live in
them is not large but as the number in
creases it is important, from moral and
physical point Of view, that tenement
houses should be constructed under the
latest approved standards.
Sufficient space should be provided
for each occupant, each room should be
lighted from without, the plumbing
should be approved in character and sgen-
orally the health and welfare Of the in
mates should be considered The ex-
perience of our sister State of New York,
shows that this can be accomplished
and a reasonable return on the invest
ment obtained by the owner.
THE question is comparatively new
one in our State, and now is the time
to consider it, recommend the ap-
pointment of commission to inyesti-
gate the subject, with power to employ
proper assistance and TO report to the
next Legislature, and that $1,000 be ap-
propriated for their expenses, the com
mission to serve without pay
The Legislature was prompt to enact
a law in accordance with the Cover
uor's request but made no stipulation
as to the expenditures of the body, au-
thorizing the employment of the neces-
sary assistance in carrying on the work,
and leaving the appropriation of the:
necessary money to a future Legislature.
John A. Campbell, of this city, is one.
of the members of the commission.
