Officials of Maurer Plant De-

Slack for That Now.
THlRTY-SEvEN MEN
WENT BACK TODAY
More Trouble Expected at
Tin Works in Sewaren Up
on Return of Manager.

The strikers are still out at
Maurer's brick factory. After a con
sultation between Superintendent
John Pfeiffer and Mr.. Maurer 1t was
decided that work is not brisk
enough at present to raise the
wages. This morning thirty-seven Of
the men returned to work. 1t looks
as though the strikers have taken a
wrong view of the situation. They
seem to think that, II they work
nine hours day, they will get $1.50,
but the understanding is that they
are to work ten hours for $1.50
Superintendent Pfeiffer, at 4:20 o.
clock Saturday afternoon, telephoned to
the police station, asking that three
officers be sent to guard the plant. Ser
geant McDermott detailed Patrolmen
Hanson, Andrew Jensen and L. C. Jen-
sen to the place. At O'Clock Satur-
day night Chief Burke sent Patrolmen
Martin, Hartmann and Harding to re-
lieve the other officers.
Trouble at Tin Works.
Further trouble had been expect
ed at the Vulcan DEFINING Works
today, when Manager Frank Bailey
returned to the plant, as many
threats had been made by workmen
who disliked him.

IN JAIL FOR
PASSING$22O
BOGUS CHECK

Complaint has been made to Chief
Burke by local man, who says that
Elmer Strandberg recently passed a
bogus check on him for 5000 Strand
berg left this city not long ago for
a confectionery store.
According to an article, which ap-
peared in the New York World with
a photograph, Strandberg after stray
ing from the path of honesty in this
city, continued his methods Of gain
ing money after leaving here.
Chief Burke recognized the pic
ture In the World this morning as
that of strandberg, and in the last
paragraph of the article his real name
Is given as "Stradberg"
The story as it appeared in the
World is given below:
Young Ernest Russell. of War
burton avenue, Yonkers. came to the
conclusion a week ago that the ro-
nance in his soul was fading in the
pursuit of the chocolate industry. He
was the head chocolate dipper In a
Yonkers confectionery store at 81 a
week. He found that he could not
dip chocolates with careless abandon
and hold his job, SO he decided to
forsake Yonkers.
Before he left he Tipped a check
for 1920 through the window of the
Westchester County Bank, then look
ed about for q companion. He found
a pretty young woman, who, though
married, was otherwise unencumber-
ed. That day they rolled up in a
taxicab to the Knickerbocker Hotel,
this city.
They inspected apartments, and
the former chocolate dipper decided
on a suite that cost SIS q day. Sup
per with champagne was their first
order. In the course of their stay at
the hotel they kept manieures, bar
bers, hairdressers and massage oper-
ators busy. Mr.. Russell called for a
piano, and Manager Regan caused
one to be put in the sitting-room. The
young woman became indisposed and
Mr.. Regan sent her a physician. She
wanted fresh air, and taxicabs were
at her command.
When Mr.. Regan learned that Mr..
Russell and his companion had en-
ioyed ..161.10 worth at his hostelry
in five days, he sent up boy with a
bill, and the report he received on
this enterprise was Nothing doing. Z"
The next order-not from Mr.. Rus
sell-was for a policeman, and the
chocolate dipper was conducted to the
station house.
The partner of his adventure WIS
found to be i'll, and she wa taken to
the New York Hospital.
"Mr. Russell languishes in his
apartment at the Jefferson Market
prison, while the news floats In from
Yonkers that his real name is Strad-
berg, and this his check TOR 1920 has
been marked N. G.

In the two-and-a-half story house
owned by Mrs. Fannie Parker, of
New York, and occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Christofferson and four children
on the Woodbridge road from Fords

blaze started in the attic and, owing
to the high winds, was consumed in
spite of the efforts of the Fords buck
ct brigade, who worked with untiring
efforts to save the building
Seeing there was no chance of saw
ing the property, they confined their
efforts to saving the adjoining build
ings. After three-and-a-half hours
work they were able to leave, feeling
that the danger was over. Good
work was done by the brigade in saw
ing the furniture and clothing of the
occupants of the house. The house
next doc, also owned by Mrs Par
: ker, was saved only by the continued
pouring of water and spreading of
wet blankets.
Mr.. and Mrs. Christofferson were
made comfortable for the night
through the kindness of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Nelson, of the Fords hotel. Az
ter the fire was over the man next
door, William Stuart, worked all
night in seeing that the fire did not
break out again.
The volunteer fire brigade of Fords
was composed of Captain John Bgan,
William O'Rielly, William Cochin
berry, Theodore Eggerston, Basil
Adams, Mike O'Brien, John OBrien,
Fred Olsen and Peter Peterson.
Nielsen Brothers of Perth Amboy,

over this and other fires in this vi
cinity and are seriously thinking of
sending committee to the next meet

comm mittee to ask for protection.
