As Result of
Disorder.
SIS IN FINES.
First Onslaught Last Night on
Workman Leaving Factory to
Go Home and Another
Followed on Night Men
Going to Work.

The strikers at the New Jersey
Terra Gotta Works showed the first
violence about O'Clock last night
and as result three were arrested
and confined in the lookup over night.
They were arraigned in the police
court this morning and fined $25
each.
Superintendent w. H. Griswold an
ticipated trouble yesterday afternoon
and sent to Constable James O'Brien
and Detective Moran to guard the
plant The strikers were quiet until
about o'clock when a man from
South Amboy attempted to leave the
plant The strikers attacked him
and but for the assistance of some
ly beaten. The men disappeared be-
fore O'Brien and Moran, who were at
the other side of the plant could
reach the gate.
A little later the fireman and
watchman who are employed in the
factory during the night attempted to
go to their duties. Before they could
reach the gate some of the strikers
attacked them and for a time there
was considerable confusion Moran
and O'Brien arrested three of the
rioters, but the crowd was so large
that they could not hold them. The
police were notified and in a short
time a number of officers were at the
plant.
Crowd Surrounds Officers.
By this time crowd of nearly g.
600 people had collected and it ap-
peared as if a riot was about to take
place. When the policeman arrived
Detective Moran pointed out the
three ringleaders of the strikers and
they were arrested by the police. The
men were Mike Kosar, thirty years
old; Steve Kalpinsnash, thirty-five
years old, and Mike Evan, twenty
seven years old, all of AZ Huntington
street. The crowd closed around the
policemen and it was with consider
able difficulty that the three prison
ers were taken inside the factory
gate. They were handcuffed and
when another detail of police arriv-
ed were rushed through the crowd
and safely landed in the lookup. 1t
was feared that the crowd would at
tempt to take the prisoners away
from the police, but as the men were
handcuffed the task would have been
difficult.
Another Arrest Made.
One of the ringleaders of the strik-
ers could not be found by the police
last night, but at $50 o'clock this
morning the police received a tele-
phone message from the factory that
they had another prisoner. He was
brought to the police station by Pa
trolman McDermott, where he gave
his name as Celine Laslo. O'Brien
preferred a charge of trespassing
against him, as he was caught inside
the factory fence.
More trouble was expected this
morning, but the police were on
guard at the plant and none of the
men were interfered with in any way.
Other Strikes Still On.
The strike at the Perth Amboy
Cigar Works, in which 500 women
and girls are involved, is as yet un-
settled. 1t was also stated at the G.
Pardee Works this noon that the 200

demanded more pay, have as yet re-
fused to return to their duties.
The officials at the New Jersey
