The strikers moved with lightning like
rapidity, slipping from one precinct to
another, battling the police with their
quickness and gaining recruits at almost
every stop.
In some places the strike breakers at
work laid down their tools before tlis
advancing band Of strikers reached them.
The failure of every attempt at set
tlement by arbitration has made ths
situation more critical than ever. Al
though the strikers profess peace the po-
lice expect war. At the beginning OF
the third week. with no prospect of amj.
cable adjustment the strike has become
ominous.
Few laborers are at work. and those
only under strong police protection.
The most daring sortie of the strikers
was made into West Orange. Under
the leadership of Joseph Consalo. 200
men started from the Bedford street
headquarters of the union early today
They marched directly to the Noun
tainside quarry where they were met by
Daniel O'Rourke. who tried to head
them off, He said that the men were
working under agreement that did not
expire until July q. The strikers ig-
nored him and persuaded fifteen to
quit.
| Next, they carried away in their
/ lmpetuous dash sixty laborers employed
by La Raus. of the Delaware and Hud-
son railroad. on the estate OF the old
Tredwali-cleveland homestead

While Consalo was making this threat
his men had clrcumvented the quarry
foremen and taken away a number of
| the laborers.
Mounted park policemen drove the
strikers from the Eagle Rock section.
The men moved toward Montclair, tax.
ing with them laborers who had been at
work on private houses, and others em-
ployed by the West Orange Water Com
pany and by John Murphy. paving con.
tractor.
Another dash was made by 900 of the
strikers for the Plank road, where
thirty-five laborers employed by tina
Public Service railway were at work
laying tracks. A guard of eight patrol
men under Sergeant Farley formed .
Gordon around the strilSebreakers.
After holding a council of war OPP
posite the Central Stamping Works the
strikers approached on the run. The
police headed them Off corning in a
line across the road.
Face to face, the line of policemen
and the mob of laborers were on the
verge of a pitched battle. BY their atti-
tude the strikers seemed inclined TO push
the policemen aside and rush the men
at work
'IlI give you FIVE minutes to get out
Of here. shouted Sergeant Farley, ''and
If you don't do 1t there'll be trouble
The strikers gave way sullenly and dis
! persed, only to gather together again on
a dash into another part of the city.
