STRIKE BREAKERS
FEARING TROUBLE
CALL FOR POLICE
Union LabOrers Gather in Early
Morning Hours at West
West Orange Quarry.

Hearing sounds as If someone was
knocking on the door of the house
where they we're staying, twenty-five
italians and negroes who are living at
the Eagle Rock quarry In West Orange
looked out of their windows shortly
after 4 o'clock this morning and saw
twenty-five strikers surrounding their
place. Believing the men were bent on
doing them violence several of the
men in the house shouted and at
tracted the attention of Policeman
John M. Donald, whose post covers the
territory.
Mcdonald Immediately called up po-
lice headquarters inc Policemen a
Ingling, George Busold and William
De Hart were sent post haste to the
grounds. Mcdonald, after sending
word to the station-house, fastened
back to the quarry, and with his re-
yolver drawn ordered the crowd TO
dispense.
With the arrival of the other men
Mcdonald informed the strikers that
if they did not leave the place imme-
diately they would be arrested. Tie
leader of the gang told the policemen
they did not intend to cause any
trouble and said their mission there
was simply to induce the men at WORN
lo join their ranks. The police did NOT
arrest any of the men. as they did not
attempt any disturbance.
Chief of Police Bamford later made
an investigation of the affair and IS
inclined to believe that the strikers
went to the quarry intending to cause
trouble and only the alertness of the
police prevented them from carrying
out their plans. The chief commended
the men for their work in dispensing
the gang before trouble occurred.
The quarry proprietors have mo-
signed the new agreement formulated
by the striking laborers' leaders and
signed last week by about a score of
small contractors. The strike will con-
tinue to be serious until the mountain
men agree to recognize the union and
the rate of 20 cents an hour.

DEFENDS ACTION
Of TRUSTEES ON
LIGHT CONTRACT
President Francis Speir, of So.

Is to Be Congratulated.

Tn answer to1what he terms I'M
founded criticisms upon the South Or
ange Village Board of Trustees for the
action of a week ago in granting the
public Service Electric Company a
twenty-year franchise to operate IN
South Orange, Village President Fran
els Speir today issued a statement de-
claring that the contract calls for con-
gratulations rather than critisism.
That an attempt is to be made to
have the contract ~annulled If possible
was made known by the president.
Andrew s. Taylor, a local lawyer. In
a letter to Village Clerk NJ. A. Fitz-
simmons, asked that he be furnished
with a COPY of the contract. Mr.. Tay-
lor said hat representing the civic
organization he will seek to obtain an
order restraining the village board
from proceeding further with the con-
tract.
President Speir state that negotia-
lions were started by the electric light
concern toward reaching such an end
at least ten years ago to his knowll
edge.
During his PERIOD he continues,
"the Public Service Company and it's
predecessors have been exercising their
business of selling electricity to those
in the village whom they could serve.
The selling of electricity Is perfectly
legal and vitality necessary to many
users. 1t Is well to bear in mind that
such business is reputable and not a
crime. The company's method was to
deliver electricity from wires on poles
situated on private property or on the
railroad or trolley poles to consumers.
This vas an unfair situation. as only
a few sections of the village could be
benefited by such service.
