Pleads with Them to Go

When the girl strikers at the Lewis
cigar factory met at 8 Prince street to-
day, encouraging reports were received,
and it was reported that representa-
tives of the firm were ready to meet a
committee of the strikers. The girls
stated that unless Mr.. Lewis made an
official statement no committee would
act. Several of the strikers said that
Foreman Goldstein visited their homes
today and pleaded with them to go
back to work, but they refused.
A committee reported that the New
ark Benevolent Association, with more
than 1000 members, threatened to call
another rent strike If a property-owner
related to Mr.. Lewis failed to reinstate
Morris Goldstein, "a tenant, of 1886 Bank

It was said that Mr.. Goldstein was to
be dispossessed for non-payment oil
rent, but he said that this was untrue,
but that some one visited his wife and
told her that if their daughter failed to
return to work in Lewis's they would
have to move.

given his ticket of leave by DIR. H. F.

the gardener refuses to go and evident

The family sits high above the barn
windows, cleaning s%hotguns, making re-
volvers ready for action, and in other
ways showing invaders hat they mean
to hold the fort.
Carrar says that he will not leave
the place until he is paid money he
says is owing to him for work. His
duties have consisted of caring for the
lawns and shrubbery. Besides a salary
of $25 a month he was given the priv
ilege of keeping his family in the serv-
ants quarters of the barn.
All was serene until Dr.. Groszmann
wanted Mrs. Carrar to bake bread and
MS sons to work in the garden for $25
a month, according to Carrar. Justice
Smalley, of North Plainfield, issued
dispossess papers, but Carrar paid no
attention to them. Constable Pang-

Other officers encountered the same

Some say that the sympathy of the
policemen Is with the Carrar family.
The matter will probably be decided in
court. DR.. Groszmann says that he

subject, said that 1t had not been
brought before the commission for Off

matter, 1 have no hesitation in saying
that the civil service law does not
repeal the veteran act, and does not
affect 1T in any way, but leaves it in
full force just as it has been ever since
it was enacted"
In fact, DIR. Johnson added, the civil
service law specifically maintains and
indeed materially strengthens their
privileged position.
IT know, positively continued Mr..
Johnson, that Senator Colby and
others who voted for the civil service
