DON'T FEAR CAR STRIKE
ON JERSEY CITY LINES

JERSEY CITY, March l0.-Division
superintendent Frank Williams, of the
Public Service Railway, Hudson county
division, when asked this morning if
he anticipated trouble among the
motormen and conductors as a result
of the request of the T~rolleymen's
Union that they 20 on strike in SYM
patty with the Philadelphia strikers,
said:
1--WE have received absolutely no in
timation of any trouble with our men,
| am sure that if there was any
movement among them to strike |
would hear of it. Our men are well
paid and well treated in every respect,
and / do not believe that they could
be induced to strike. There was an at
tempt made by labor agitators before
the Philadelphia strike, a few months
ago, to get our men to cause trouble,
but when the Philadelphia strike broke
out the agitators left for Philadelphia.
They have not made much Roadway
here. We have more old employees on
our division than anywhere in the
United States. We have many men
who have been with us for twenty yeart
and many more who have worked for
us over ten years.
Our men are paid from twenty-five
to twenty-four cents an hour, nexi
year the pay will range from twenty
two to twenty-five cents an hour, whilC
in 1912 there will be a further advance
The old men all have steady runs, anC
even the newcomers are making goot
wages"

COLBY
WINS HIS FIRST
CRIMINAL CASE
Successfully Defends Negro on
Charge of Breaking Into
and Robbing Saloon.

Klinxman Paul Joiner is the hlSn-
! sounding name of a very dark negro
with a record of six prison terms TO MS
credit who was on trial IN farl l.
Quarter Sessions Court before Judge
JAY Ten Eyck today on a charge Vi
breaking and entering.
Some surprise was occasioned when
the case started, owing to the tact tnat
ex-senator Everett Colby was detehu-
ing he negro. Joiner was unable TO
furnish counsel and Mr. Colby had oeen
assigned by the court to defend him.
.Joiner had been released from Stat
prison at Trenton on February :, ana
came to Newark that same afternoon
At 3 o'clock the following morning he
was picked up by officer John j. IAN
new. of the First precinct, who was III
plain clothes in front of the saloon OF
William Winters at the corner OF VIII
lam and Plane streets. Joiner explain
ed his presence there by saying he was
waiting for a friend. but Gafney did
not believe him and took him into -
tody on a charge of suspicion. when
later investigation proved that a WIN
dow had peer broken n the saloon and
the catch unfastened the charge was
changed to one of breaking and
tering.
Joiner complained hat Policeman
Gaffney had used undue violence in
arresting him. but admitted h a he
had told Gaffney: Not to start any
thing, or there will be rou~gh-house If
you do
The negro was wearing the suit of
clothes that are given prisoners when
they cave the Jail prison, and Ofhcer
Gaffney laid he recognized him as a
jail bird at once.
80 I didn't intend to take any
chances with him. said the officer
Don't blame you remarked Judge
Ten Eyck and Attorney Colby in the
same breath.
Joiner said he didn't know the local
ity where he was arrested, but in an
swer to a query by Judge Ten Eyck. as
to whether he did know or not. Joiner
raised a laugh by replying: Yes. in
deed I do. boss. ! wish I'd never seen
IT,"
In trying Ia trace his movements
from early evening until 3 o'clock in
the morning Assistant Prosecutor al
Rlarcom brought out the fact h a
Joiner had been in saloons after mid
night. ''But the saloons are not sur
nosed to be open after II o'clock" said
Mr.. Van Blarcon.
"Rut you know mighty well they
are" was Joiner's quick retort. The
case went to the Jury at 2 O'Clock. The
negro was acquitted. This was eX-
Senator Coiby's first case.
