the conference late yesterday after
noon. The strikers are holding out
for the additional half cent and de-
clare 1t seems as though they will
get it.
About 100 strikers were congre-
gated near the plant most Of the day
but there was not the slightest sign
OF disturbance. No persons but a
few kiln burners are declared to be

ployes of the Rosenthal handkerchief

speak ut meetings held twice daily

to organize and formulate their de-
mands. The cigar workers want an
increase of two and half cents a
hundred cigars and the Rosenthal
handkerchief works girls want
cent more a dozen OF handkerchiefs.
The latter have appointed an arbi-
trating committee OF five and the

demands this afternoon.

Yelling like hedns and hurl-

1000 OF the foreigners made
dash for the plant this morning.
Shortly before they had secured
fire brands from the smoking deb
ris of the trolley station and with
these they rushed towards the fence
in an attempt to burn 1t. The de-
tectives inside the plant shouted
to the mob IN warning but they
were undaunted and continued to
rush the plant. They struck the
fence from the little road that leads
from State street and managed to
break a part of it down. This was
the signal for the men inside to
shoot. Dudock was well In the lead
OF the rioters and fell at the first
report Two bullets had entered
his neck, the right side being al
most severed.

Seaman, of the American Smelling

way for the strikers and both the
Barber and A. S. & r. strikes now
seem as far from a settlement as
they did when the men first quit.
Manager Alexander made it plain to
the committee that the company
would not even consider part of
the demands so long as rioting con-
tinued. However, Messrs. Alexand-

Seaman, of the American Smelling
& Refining Company.
The responsibility of calling the
troops rests upon Governor Wilson
and Sheriff Bollschweiler. Adult
ant General sadler is keeping the
governor In close touch with the
situation. keeping him informed
hourly by long distance telephone.
The army man Is having a telephone
installed in his private Office at the
Packer house for this purpose. Mr.
sadler says the troops may also be
called upon written order from
the sheriff to the governor.
Governor In Touch.
Following the conference last
night Adjutant General Sadler and
Major Rogers, of Trenton, have
been headquartering at the Packer
House. They intend to remain in
the city until the strike situation has
been relieved, every minute ready to
summon the companies of soldiers
which stand in readiness The Off
Icers declined to tell what company
or companies had prepared to come
here. The governor of New Jersey
was appealed to by an individual
through the sheriff's friends last
night and in that way the initial
lsteps were taken to have militia pro-
ltection.
When Governor Wilson was told
of the seriousness of the state Of
affairs here he called Sheriff Bollsch-
weller on the telephone and the
Isheriff admitted there had been
trouble with the strikers. The gov
ernor then decided to get troops in
readiness for use in case of any
serious outbreak. He seemed desir-
GUS Of having the city well protected
and in any eevnt where the situation
got out of the control Of the city and
county authorities he would have
troops here. He Immediately sent
Adjutant General Sadler, his mill
tary aide, and Major Rogers to this
city and Sherifr Bollsch weller called
a conference in the parlor of the
Packer House.
Plant Heads Want Troops.
Heads Of most of the large plants
seemed to agree that militia protec-
ton was needed, but no one present
seemed desirable to shoulder the re-
sponsibility of asking for them. The
subject was thereby left in the hands
of the adjutant general. The sheriff
says he is acting as his captain and
at the word of either of these men
companies of soldiers will be started
out.
More "Strong-Arm" Men.
The first detachment of 400 dep
ut1es, called by Sheriff Bollschweil-
er, arrived here from Newark at
2:23 o'clock this afternoon, num-
bering 100 strong. They carried a
box of revolvers and a package Of
night sticks. The deputies, who
look the part of strong arm men"
and capable of handling a crowd
three times their size, were IN
charge OF Detective ]. O'Brien, of
Newark, who escorted them to the
police station. 1t is expected that
further rioting will ensue when the
| detachment of deputy sheriffs arrive
on the scene, as experienced yester-

n readiness to start for this city
upon a minutes call to cope with
the strike situation which today be-
,ame 80 alarming.
Adjutant General Wilbur F. Sad
Ter came here last night, conferred
with the prosecutor, sheriff, acting
mayor and heads OF the principal
industries in the city. He was In
formed that militia Intervention was
desired here, but no one seemed to
wish to shoulder the responsibility
of asking for them. Mr.. Sadler con-
ferred several times with Governor
Wilson and is now acting as captain
for Sheriff Bollschweiler. He is
watching carefully the advances Of
the strikers and if in his judgment
troops become necessary he will ad-
wise call for the companies now in
waiting. They will be able to take
charge of the situation within an
hour and half.
Confers With Politicians.
Sheriff Bollschweiler held many
conferences with political leaders
and others during the night and to-
day. He has not seen ft to ask for
troops, despite the fact that he warn
ed the strikers Wednesday night and
yesterday that further serious riot
ing would mean the bringing Of sol
diers here; and three persons were
shot and one killed opposite the gate
house OF the American Smelling &
Refining Company's plant this morn
ing.
Many Appeals for Help.
At the time there came appealing
alls for help which were received by
the sheriff. the adjutant general,
Major Rogers. the acting mayor and
the chief of .,olice. The situation
seemed entirely in the hands of the
sheriff, despite the fact the city Off
cials had only asked him to aid In
giving protection.
400 More Deputies.
Shortly before noon today Sheriff
Bollschweiler said he would secure
400 deputies from Elizabeth, Pater-
son and New Yoxk. These, he said,
were due to arrive at s o'clock this
afternoon and In the meanwhile he
declared the present protection
would have to serve, although in the
opinion of many 1t was wholly in
adequate. The official will watch
the work of his deputies and plans
to increase the number until it
reaches such proportions necessary
to handle the situation.

cd OF ten men, conferred with Cen
eral Manager Powell and Assistant
General Manager SCHNEIDER in the
office of plant 2 about o'clock last
night. The demands were made
according to the desires OF the men
in the respective departments. The
factory heads made offers of one
cent more per hour to all laborers,
to place first and second settlers on
an equal basis and pay them twen-
ty-five cents an hour and give If
teen cents more per ton, making 1t
S1.06 a ton. A majority of the
men seemed satisfied, but there
rested doubt as to whether or not
all the strikers would return at the
offers made. Messrs. Powell and
SCHNEIDER said they would consider
the demands further up until
o'clock this afternoon and would
grant an additional increase of half
a cent more an hour, making the
total increase a cent and a half an

do It.

O'Clock this morning The strikers
have held meetings and have decid-
ed TO stick to their original de-
mands, which include a general
raise Of fifteen per cent They have
been generally quiet and peaceable
until this morning when four depu-
ties of Sheriff Bollschweller came
there to keep peace. At the first
sight OF the deputies the striking
men, girls and boys went after
them, peIting them with sticks and
stones and drove them into the rub
ber mill of the plant Twelve 9th
er deputies on their way to the At
lantic Terra Gotta plant came along
and attempted to rescue the impris-
oned men. The latter ran out and
the wild mob chased the sixteen
deputies southwark on High street.

West Rutland Man Killed Himself
Sunday Afternoon

Rutland, May 26.-Samuel Pelkey
of West Rutland took his life this
afternoon by drinking a big dose of
strychnne and Jamaica ginger, the
suicide taking place only short
time after he had requested his son
to dig grave for him as he was
ready to die and expected the end
soon Mr. Pelkey had been living
apart from his family for some time
but about two weeks ago he appeared
in West Rutland. He drank heavily
and during these spells often boosted
that he would soon take his life.
He had carried around a box of
paris green for the last few days.
This noon. after he had eaten a hear
ty dinner, he requested his son to go
out and dig his grave and he went
upstairs to his room. He returned
in a short time complaining of not
feeling well. He was assisted to a
couch but in a few minutes he went
into commissions. DR.. G. c. Perry
was summoned but the man died be
, fore he arrived. In searching his eff
fects the empty vial which contained
the strychnine crystals was found
Pelkey is survived by his wife, two
sons. two brothers and two daugh
tiers.
