Trouble in the Orange hating dis.
trict broke out today Excitement was
occasioned when seven men were
chased through several streets. but no
one was hurt. The crowd of union men
that followed them obeyed police in
functions to let the men who had evil
IDENTIFY sought to get their jobs go
home.
The row started shortly after 1890
o'clock, when the seven men were seen
leaving the Berg factory and were fol-
lowed by crowd. Several men shouted
the opprobious term "scab."
Following the period of more than
month of idleness the reports that
a big effort would be made to- reopen
the hat shops in the Orange district
reached Orange police headquarters
early today and then efforts were
made to. preserve order in the public
streets. The force of eight day men
was augmented by several chancemen
and reserves.
The men were distributed about the
factories with the greater proportion
in the Valley districts. where the big
shops are located
The central point in the Orange hat
ting zone is the factory of F. Berg &
Co. and the rumors that efforts would
be made to have work started on big
basis this afternoon at the factory
caused the union men to pay particular
attention to the newcomers in the val
ley district 4t
There are heavy pickets at the sew

recruits. The guard at the Highland
avenue depot. Orange, is the largest
owing to the proximity of the depot to
the big factories.
According to a statement issued today
by President Richard FL. Lowe, of Local
No. IA of the United Hatters of North
America. five union members, formerly
employed in the Runnell plant, have
deserted their union and returned to
work. There have been only two other
desertions reported, with the exception
of one forewoman IN the Rummell shop
and another in the factory of the A.

street. The names of those who de-
serted today are given by President
Lowe as John Robinson, Edward Lam
bert. Patrick Gavin, Adam German and
August Weissbdder All five were enl-
ployed as foremen.
Nearly all of the 100 or more strike
breakers who were brought to this city
yesterday to take the places of the
union men in some of the hat shops left
Newark today, some through the in
fiuence of the union men and the ma
iority because it was found that they
did not know anything about the busi-
