BELIEVE STRIKE
is ABOUT OVER
Police Think Cigar Workers
Willing to Return.

Heads of the police force are in
clined to believe that the backbone
of the cigar workers strike has been
broken, that all but perhaps hun
dred OF strikers are willing to re-
turn and that all will return with a
small or no increase in pay. Eight
girls are working in the plant to-
day. They were met at their homes
by special officers Of the company
and escorted safely to the works.
AS they entered there came slight
jeerfng from strikers.
Acting Mayor Garretson again
visited the factory early this morn
ing, but found no disorder. He
found small number of the strikers
congregated about the plant, but
declares they showed no violence.
Six workers returned in a body
early this morning and two others
Joined them later.
Some of the police declared this
afternoon that 1t appeared as though
most OF thes trikers wanted to re-
turn to work but were kept out by
small number, dreading to be call
ed "scabs' and the like.

reported that subscriptions were
coming in very we'll.
Mr.. Killam gave Ill health as the

ask for another leave of absence, he
preferred to resign. The resigna-

BY DETECTIVES
A. A. Quinn and W. J. MUIR
tagh, Labor Men, Claim Ci-
gar Company Responsible.
MAY TAKE SAME ACTION
Bring Up Matter at Wilson
Club meeting--Call Their
TraiIsrs Thugs"
MAY TAKE SAME ACTION

Arthur A. Quinn, first vice presl-
dent of the International Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America, and William J. Murtagh,
business agent of the Carpenters
and Joiners' union, Local No. 65,
both OF this city, are incensed over
the alleged action of the Perth Am
boy Cigar Company, in hiring pri-
vate detectives to trace their every
movement, and declare that they
will take legal steps to secure re-
dress at the first opportunity.
Claim Men Garry Weapons.
1t Is claimed by the labor men,
who are actively interested in the
present strike at the plant of the
cigar company, that they have been
followed all over town the last
three days by private detectives who
are carrying firearms and other
weapons without any permission
from the city authorities to exer-
else such a privilege. Mr.. Murtagh
brought the matter up last night at
the meeting Of the Wilson Club, in
Columbia hall, and asked his fellow
Democrats to go on record as
against such action by the cigar
company, and endorse resolutions
requesting the city officials to in
yestigate the credentials of the de-
tectives. Mr.. Quinn spoke along the
same lines, making lengthy ad-
dress in his own behalf.
Club Has No Jurisdiction.
Both men declared that such ao-
tion on the part of the cigar COM
pany Is against the peace and well
fare of the state. They claimed that
they, as private citizens, would be
unable, legally or otherwise, to en-
gage private thugs" as they term
ed them, to trail men about the city
and pry into their private and per-
sonal movements. Alderman Rich
ard J. Calvin, of the third ward,
president of the Wilson Club, held
that the organization has no juris-
diction in the matter, and advised
the complaining labor men to take
the question up with Chief of Police
Patrick J. Burke or Acting Mayor
| Ferd Garretson.
May Take Action Later.
Mr.. Murtagh said today that his
friends do not feel justified in
swearing out a warrant against the
detectives as suspicious persons, or
charging them with carrying con-
cealed weapons, as they may have
the proper credentials. The labor
+ men believe, however, that they will
be warranted in taking legal action
If any of the trailers accost them or
become more obnoxious in other
ways. Acting Mayor Garretson
stated today that he has not issued
revolver permits to any persons who
are not permanent residents OF
Perth Amboy, which excludes the
detectives engaged by the company,
Mr.. Garretson says that the men
may carry revolver permits, how
ever, granted by mayors of other
cities, which the local authorities
would be forced to recognize.

Its Members to Climb
Aboard the Band Wagon.
ARRANGE FOR CLAMBAKE
Whole County May be Asked
to Take Part in the
Big Outing.
WITH HIM FROM START
ARRANGE FOR CLAMBAKE

It was practically decided last
night by the Wilson Club to make
the proposed outing of the members,
scheduled for the middle of August,
a sweeping county affair. to which
every loyal Wilson man In Middle
sex, or any who shows a desire to
Jump" to the Wilson Band Wag-
no" will be cordially invited. The
clambake committee, of which Pat
rick J. Rocks is chairman, reported
that the only suitable place In the
county for the proposed bake which
the committee can secure, is Nicke-
nig's grove. In view of the fact that
the price for the bake at that grove
was considered excessive by many,
the committee was continued.
Several members, including Will
liam J. Murtagh, suggested an out
ing to Grant City by boat, and a
clambake at that resort. This meth
cd of amusement was taken under
consideration, as it met with favor
by many in attendance. A trip by
rail to any of the popular resorts
on Staten Island was also discussed,
and referred to the clambake COM
mittee. The committee will take
the matter up with the management
of the various Staten Island resorts
and make a report at the next meet
ing Of the club, which will be held
In Columbia hall, State street, next
Tuesday night.
The resolution committee report
ed that letter had been drafted and
forwarded to Governor Woodrow
Wilson expressing the pleasure Of
the club in his nomination by the

shot down Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler, In front Of the Hotel Metro
pole a few hours before he was to re-
veal secrets of alleged police graft to
District Attorney Whitman are known
10 the police.
Police Commissioner Waldo, Deputy
Police Commissioner Dougherty and
Inspector Hughes wrung a confession
from Louis Libby and William sha-
piro, who owned the touring car that
was used tn the murder raid on the
Metropole. Shapiro, who drove the
car, broke down after hours of Cruel
ling questions, told the police that
seven men were In the plot to kill
Rosenthal and that four were actual
ly concerned In the killing.
The minute this confession had been
extracted from Shapiro 100 plain
clothes men were sent scurrying to
every part Of the city, and Deputy
Commissioner Dougherty was saying
confidently that within few hours
the asssssins OF Rosenthal would be
jailed. Libby and Shapiro were
charged with homicide, and John
Clark, a gambler of several aliases,
was held as a material witness
The question that everybody asked
was, "Who had so much to fear from
Rosenthal that they took the desperate
chance Of Staying him almost In the
presence of half dozen policemenP'
Lieutenant T+ifRxAeN zHSSssser of the
"strong arm squad" accused By H..

accusation, hastened to deny that he
had any hand In the killing or that he
had the slightest Idea who killed his
accuser And Becker is held to be
gulltless by his commissioner.
Whitman Makes a Charge.
But District Attorney Whitman,
after hours Of digging into the cir
cumstances of the murder, put for
ward a plain suggestion that the elm
ination of Rosenthal was OF so much
advantage to what he termed the
police system" that death must Re
laid at the door Of police terrorists.
Mr.. Whitman said that whether or
