Absolutely nothing. Their answer to all
appeals made to them by Mayor Hauss-
ling and other high city and county OF
fcials and representatives OF the
churches and labor can be condensed in
three words, Nothing to arbitrate.'
They absolutely refuse to deal with the
men collectively or as a union. while
they the contractors are themselves or
ganized and act as a body.
There have been two big riots and a
number of minor fights and disturbances
in and around Newark this week. The
strikers are feeling the pinch of hunger
and are becoming desperate.
Those who are dying in the City
Hospital are:

terday at the outbreak of the Orange
street riot.

CUFF. AIOnzo, a negro, ~ years old.
of II Dey street. He was struck over
the head with nm iron bar and stabbed
In the groin In a running -fght last
night.
The strike leaders admit that they are
losing control of the thousands of union
laborers and they themselves are fearful
that violence will increase.
Parents in the city are aroused by the
death of 17-year-old Albert Faulks, who
was shot through the head while going
to the aid Of the police at the Orange
street riot.
County Physician Mckenzie today said
there would be no inquest on the boys
death.
They blame the police for not using
drastic measures to stop the rioting and
promise to protest to the authorities.
They will demand that the streets be kept
safe for their children.
Chief Of Police Corbitt said today that
his men could maintain order aud could
cope with the strikers unaided.
I'VE AVE ordered riot guns" he con-
tinued, 'and they are now on the way.
They will be distributed among the pre-
cincts and will be used in case of mob
violence"
The sentence OF one year, which Re-
corder WINNER imposed on the twenty

The pitch to which the police have been
wrought was shown In the afternoon
when there was a quarrel in a negro
boarding house on Academy street neal
Comes alley. In a flash the narrow thor
oughfare leading from Market street be-
came choked with people who were going
home from work. The knowledge that
the street is inhabited largely by Italians
made the crowd bigger. AS soon as a
rumor went out that there had been
a shooting ARRAY between strikers and
strikebreakers, police, mounted on BIZ
cycles, motorcycles and on foot began
pouring into the alley. They were forced
to form a flying wedge to get through
the crowd
Several of them drew their revolvers
before they got near the scene. 1t was
remarked by several bystanders after
things had quieted down that never to
their knowledge had the police responded
SO promptly to an alarm.
Prosecutor Mott made the following
statement when told of the. shooting OF
young Faulks:
This strike situation is getting to be
a mighty cartons nrnhlam for Newark
and Essex County. 1t seems to be grow
ing in magnitude In spite of all the
police can do. The police are doing
splendid work. but they are handicapped
by the nature of the strike. 1t Is not
like a strike confined to a certain In
dustry where the shops of that industry
are the storm centre.
I'm the present strike an outbreak Is
likely to occur in any part of the city.
and the police cannot possibly cover
every place where a riot is likely to
break out at almost a moments notice.
The strikers seem to realize this fact
and are taking advantage of it to start
trouble ut points where there Is none or,
at the best. little police protection

the persons who were doing the rioting
are absolutely a lawless mob. with no
regard for human life. Young Faulks
and Kabis, the teamster who was shot
while trying to aid the police. were per-
sons against whom the strikers had no
grievance except that they were trying
to help preserve order.
How serious the situation is is shown
by the fact that l have had three differ
ent persons telephone me this afternoon
and tell me that unless the riotous mobs
of laborers were suppressed they would
not allow their children to 90 to school.
