so CAR REPAIR
MEN ON STRIKE
Are BsiaS Paid by Piecs Work
But Want to be Paid
by The Hour.
POLICE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED

Sixty car repair men, mostly for
eigners, in the employ of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, went on
strike at o'clock this morning.
They refuse to work at piece work,
desiring to be paid by the hour. L.
w. Schoonover, who is in charge of
that department, telephoned the
police soon after the foreigners went
on strike, fearing that they might
create a riot.
Mr.. schoonover feared there
would be trouble this afternoon as
the strikers commenced to congre-
gate about a nearby saloon. Only
about twenty-five per cent. of the
strikers turned In their tools and ex-
pressed an unwillingness to return to
work. The rest of the men are ex-
pected back within day or two.
A foreman at the local Lehigh
Valley yards said this morning that
the men we're being paid by piece
work. The prices they were paid,
he claimed, were equal to those paid
by any other Of the company's shops.
He stated that piece work brings out
the qualities Of the worker, while
the SLOUGH usually gains by hour
work. The strikers work in the VI
cinity of the round house. Their
duty Is to repair cars.
The police are on the alert for any
outbreak that might occur among
the strikers.

MAKE RAIDS
FOR WEAPONS
Three Men Arrested, One With
Blackjack and Two With
Brass kuuCkIsS.
HAVE NO ARRESTS HERE
Mayor Decides to Dsfsr Such Ac-
tiun in This City as Was Taken
Throughout County by SIeuths
In autos Judges Crusade.

Anyone who carries a concealed
weapon without a permit should stop
1t at once, as Judge Booraem intends
to make every effort to have those
who do so caught and punished.
Recently Prosecutor Berdine and
Judge Booraem decided to take ac-
tion in the matter and Recorder
Pickersgill was instructed to send all
violators to Judge Booraem. Chief
Burke was also conferred with in the
IN after.
Judge Booraem decided to have a
general raid made on the foreigners
throughout the county and the plans
were carefully made, although the
strictest secrecy was maintained.
Saturday night was selected as the
best time and Chief Burke was noti-
fed to that effect. Mayor Bollsch-
weller, Saturday morning, received a
letter from Judge Booraem in regard
to the matter.
The mayor conferred with his
counsel and then instructed Chief
Burke not to make the raid in this
city Saturday night. The chief obey
ed orders and no raid was made here.
A general raid was, however,
made throughout the county bur
only resulted In the capture of a
blackjack carrier and two men with
brass knuckles.
Detective Peltler. acting under
Judge Booraem's orders, in a large
automobile, with six assistants, left
this city early Saturday evening and
visited Sand Hills, Keasbey and
Roosevelt. AT Sand Hills Michael
Reilly, twenty-six years old, was
caught with brass knuckles In his
pocket He was brought to this city
and locked up. Recorder Pickersgill
fined him $25, this morning, which
the prisoner paid. The case was not
sent to Judge Booraem as the law
relative to carrying concealed weap-
ons refers to firearms and knives
with blades over five inches in
length. and does not include black
jacks.
The man with the blackjack was
caught at Keasbey, but was let go.
The other pair of brass knuckles was
found on a man at Roosevelt. The
work was continued yesterday and
last night by Detective Peltier, but
as far as can be learned, no others
were found with weapons From
now on everyone suspected of carry
ing concealed weapon will be
watched and all those caught Will
have to appear before Judge Boor-
aem for sentence.
Mayor Bollschweiler, this morning,
said that the reason he did not have
the raid made here Saturday was be-
cause. he had not had time to con-
slider the matter. The mayor said he
only received the letter in the morn
ing and, under advice, decided to
postpone the raid in this city for
various reasons, which he will make
known publicly to Judge Booraem
tomorrow.
Chief Burke admitted that he had
orders to make raid here but re-
fused to discuss the matter, stating
that he simply obeyed the orders OF
his superior, the mayor.
Mayor Bollschweiler did not re-
ceive orders to have a raid made
here, but simply letter in regard to
the matter in which Mr.. Booraem
asked his opinion.
