twenty-five, are still out and are
likely to remain out as far as the

but officials claim they do not know
what they want. The men conferred
with the Northumberland yester-
day and were given until today to
return to work at the old wage scale.
They failed to return and the A. s..
and r. officials said they would put
other men in their places.

A. s.. and R. strike, the absence of
violence of the strikers and the re-
turn of deputy sheriffs, Sheriff Boil

son agreed 1t best to permit fifty or
more saloons in North Amboy, closed
last Wednesday when rioting began,
to reopen last night. They consid-
cred the hardship upon license pay
ers and decided it best that they be
given word to reopen
