Resolved, That we express the
highest confidence in the State Board
of Education in its management OF
the education affairs of the state;

Nos. 179 and 1870. as tending to
place the appointment of county su-
perintendeDts on a political basis,
thereby lowering the efficiency of the
public school system and the public
esteem in which the public schools
are now held;
Resolved, That a copy OF these
resolutions be forwarded to the
members of the legislature from
Middlesex county and that a delega-
tion be appointed to wait upon our
representatives

NO DISORDER TODAY
AMONG THE STRIKERS.
Men at All Plants Went out Satur-
dav When Foreigners Caused
Excitement in Woodbridge.
ONE FIRM TO PAY Is CENTS

As result of the strike at the Valen-
tine plant, which spread to the other
factories, it is thought possible that q
general wage scale Of fifteen cents an
hour may go into effect at the brick
plants in the vicinity of Woodbridge
on April /, similar to the action taken
at the plants of the National Fireproof-
Ing Company.
Although the strikers were bolster
Gus Saturday night, when they march
ed through the streets Of Woodbridge in
an intoxicated condition, blowing horns
and yelling. there were no signs of dis
order today. The foreigners merely
hung around the factories and streets.
Sheriff Quaekenboss was at Woodbridge
Saturday but, after looking over the
ground carefully, he returned to New
Brunswick satisfied that there was no
need for deputies, and that the factory
officials could cope with the situation.
During their marching on Saturday
the strikers went to all of the factories
and clay banks in the Woodbridge sec
tion of the county and drove the men
from Work. AT tne AnuesS Iotlcr
plant the employees went back this
morning When Mr.. Anness was asked
If 1t were true that their men had been
promised fifteen cents an hour, he said
that it was partially correct. He stated
that they announced last week, when
the National Fireproofng Company did
80, that the increase would be granted
ON the first OIL April. When asked II
the fact that they had a number Of or
ders on hand was responsible for the
promised raise, he said that it had moth
Ing to do with their action and that
they had announced the contemplated

increase before there were any signs of
trouble.
j. Ross Valentine said that he had
agreed to give the men the increased
rate on April / if the other concerns
did so.
Other Plants Affected.
The men are also out at p. l.. Ryan $
Mutton Hollow plant, Berry's and John
Leisen IS clay banks. 1t is not expected
that the Ryan concern will grant any
raise at present as they have not many
orders Just now, it is understood.
Machinists started some repairs at
the other plant of Valentine & Brother
this morning, but the shut t-down is not
expected to be of very long duration if
the men are willing to return to work.
The strikers assume sullen sttitude
and say that they will not return for
less than $l.50 at once, but it Is believed
that they would do SO if they under
stood the exact position of their en-
ployers.
A NEWS reporter visited several of
the plants this morning but saw no
evidence of disorder. Two men were
placed under arrest for causing dis
turbance on the street while drunk. 1t
was rumored that the saloons would be
ordered closed this afternoon but this
is hardly likely unless the strikers grow
troublesome again. The scenes of Sat
urday were very exciting strikers par
aiding from factory to factory and from
clay bank to clay bank, intimidating
the men at work and forcing them to
quit, under threats of bodily harm. =.
Threats to close down the plants for
an indefinite period may bring the la
borers back to work, unless all of the
concerns agree to grant an increase to
$1.5O a day, in which event no further
difficulties would arise.

shoes, Ave pairs of pants, four UNI
brellas and five or six watches. Ten
dollars in the cash drawer the

Detectives Huff and Long found
that the rear door of the place had
been pried open with brake key
from a freight car, which strength
ems the belief that railroad thieves
did the job. The detectives found
the brake key on the railroad tracks
later and located the car from which
1t had been taken. Detective Long
says that railroad thieves generally
select store near a railroad to rob,
so that passing freight train will
deaden the noise of breaking in a
door.
