Strike the italians Company now
Refuses to take all the Men Back
Engineer and FIremen Secured Some
Of the Pressers are Working.

An effort was made to fill up the
vacancies made by the strike at the
Atlantic Terra Gotta yesterday, but it
was only partly successful. An enRi-
neer and fireman have been secured,
however, and the factory is in opera
tion. Some of the pressers and the
plasterers are at work.
1t is said that the SUPERINTENDENT
brought number of non union press
ers and finishers from New York.
When the men found that the local
pressers were on strike. some wen
to work, while others refused.
When Mr.. Norman Grant, the mqn-
ager of the works, was seen by a
News reporter yesterday afternoon, he
refused to answer any questions in re-
gard to the strike. He told the re-
porter that he could judge for himself
whether the plant was working or
not.
Although the strikers lave been

their work, the terra Gotta people
have asked for police protection and
yesterday three policemen were on
duty at the gate and would let no one
pass through without pass from the
Office. Police captain Naughton, of
Stapleton, who has charge of the
police of the entire island, was at the

the strike, but no trouble is feared.
When one of the pressers was seen
by News reporter yesterday, he said
"When the pressers first left their
places it was because the company
wanted to employ Italian laborers in
the pressing department. When the
two Italians, who were employed,
found that they were causing consid-
erable trouble, they resigned their
position. Now we have a committee
of men to wait on Mr.. Grant in re-
CARDS to the trouble. We are willing
to return to work in a body but the
company say they are willing to en-
ploy some of us, and some they will
not take back. If we cannot go back
all together, we remain out. "

Letters From KishineR Confirm Bar
barfties and Ask Help.
LONDON, May 19.-Dr Hermann
Adler, the chief rabbi, in the course of
pastoral charge to his congregation
referred to the anti-Jewish riots at
Kishineff. The accounts published by
the press, he said, had not exaggerated
the extent Of the barbarities committed.
He had received a letter sent by a
number of leading citizens of Kishineff
which fully corroborated what had
been published.
The letter asked for help, for which
he made an appeal. DR.. Adler declared
that he was pleased that the Americans
were going to make representations to
the Russian government regarding the
massacres and that they were already
collecting subscriptions for the relief
of victims.
An indignation meeting of east end
Hebrews has been held here. Many of
the speakers were emigrants from
Kishineff and, speaking in Yiddish,
made passionate protests against the
authors Of the outrages. A committee
was appointed to collect subscriptions
in London for the relief of the sufferers
by the riots.

wells which are now at Runyon have
a combined flow of 100000 gallons,
the rest being secured from the stream
there. The water is brought over by
gravity. The pressure at the south
side of the river driving the water

great quantities being used by the
factories here, however, keep the
water so low that the pressure is not
strong enough to keep up the supply.
The bonds about to be issued for
the "a inch pipe are for it's construc-
tion only as far as the south side of
the river. There, for the present, the
flow of both pipes can be thrown into
one and the pressure will be made
many times greater, increasing the
local supply many times. This, it is
expected, will be completed by August.

will be continued under the river thi

HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH
STOLEN GOODS OF VALUE.

House has been Watched for Some Time but
Clue Received

The suspicion of Chief Burke that
the house occupied by Mrs. Mary
Bowe, on Front street, opposite Halls
lumber yard, contained stolen goods,
was proven when he received letter

the stolen yacht "Pinochle'' had the
letter B upon them. The result was
that Chief Burke and his assistant,
Detective Huff, recovered from the
Front street house over $4,000 worth
of property believed to have been
stolen, including much silverware,
valuable clothing, furniture and many
other articles of house furnishings.
The clue which led to the recovery
of go much stolen stuff Chief Burke
refuses to tell. 1t may be that be-
cause Mrs. Bowe, better known as
Mary Ann Tagg, of South Amboy, has
disappeared. She has been missing
since Saturday.
For week past Chief Burke lhas
been watching the place constantly
with the hope that they might obtain
some clue as grounds on which the
stuff might be seized. The author

other night while thew went through
the house with the hope of obtaining
