NO DEMANDS
ARE MADE At
R0SEHTHhL'S

officials of the Rosenthal Hand
kerchief Factory are in a quandary
over the strike situation prevailing
at their plant. Up to a--late hour
this afternoon a committee of the
striking girls had not waited upon
the officials. An arbitration COM
mittee has been appointed and has
formulated demands, but lack Of or
ganization has delayed the members
in presenting their wants.
Just what action the officials Of
the establishment will pursue rests
with the higher officials of New
York. Local men In a position to
know the situation told q NEWS
representative this morning that in
asmuch as the girls have not pre-
sented their demands they were
through with them and would not
bother with them. This statement
develops itself into-two propositions,
namely that the factory will either
close down and seek quarters else
where or that other workers will be
placed in the positions left vacant
by the striking girls.
Superintendent Kaufman says he
has not been broached upon the sub
ject of settlement and is at a loss to
know what action will be taken by
the girls.

FREES THREE
MEN CAUGHT
BY DEPUTIES
Recorder Shows Little Re
gard for Guards Complaint
--"CaIIs Them Down.

Recorder Henry w. Kehoe showed
little regard for some Of the sheriff s
deputies on strike duty and indicat-
ed he cared much less for their tao
tics last night when he discharged
three men arrested for Grimes
which varied from walking on the
public street to "sassing' some Of
the deputies and "inciting to riot"
John Charm was discharged on mo-
ton Of his attorney, Jacob M. Klein.
when no one appeared against him;
q. J. Morgan was discharged be-
cause there was insufficient evidence
against him, and John Lamey was
released because there was no ev1-
dence of wrongdoing against him.
The recorder berated such depu-
ties as the one who arrested Lamey
without cause and thereby caused
an innocent man to be roughly han
died and thrown in jail for several
days. He made it clear that such
practice would have to stop and en-
phasized the fact that the United
States are free and independent and
so are the people that walk peace
fully upon it's highways. The COM
plainant's excuse for arresting
Lamey was that he saw him In a
crowd. Morgan testified he was
walking along State street when he
was seized and hailed to the guard
house Charni's story was not heard
The court inquired into the con-
duct of the deputies who had these
men under arrest. Morgan said one
deputy wanted to search him but he
refused to permit him to do 80.

LEASE B|j0U
THEATRE FOR
THREE YEARS
MILLER and Kovacs Secure
Rights. Vaudeville and Nov
ing Pictures Next Week.
REOPEN STOCK IN FALL

1t became evident today that no
hippodrome will be erected on the
site Of the present Bijou theatre, in
New Brunswick avenue, for the next
three years to come, when it was
announced that the Miller Stock
Company has signed a three years
lease with Perrine and Buckelew,
Of Jamesburg, owners of the building
for continuation of the popular
stock plays and moving picture
shows at that amusement place.
Perrine and BuCkelew announced
last winter that the Bijou theatre
would be razed on May l and a
handsome Hippodrome erected, but
thts idea was changed when Miller
and Kovacs, proprietors of the Miller
Stock Company, met the firms fig
ures for a three year lease.
This is the last week of stock pro-
ductions at the Bijou threatre until
the latter part of August when the
Miller Stock Company will reopen
with a first class line of plays never
produced here before. During the
lapse Of time between the close and
re-opening, the theatre will be utli-
ized as a moving picture house, with
two classy vaudeville acts sandwich
ed in between, at every performance.
The admission will be reduced dur
ing the summer months, but will
probably jump back to the old fig
ures when the company re-opens in
August
Mr.. Miller and his wife are now
at Passaic, where Miller and Kovacs
la ~ !, tph
is fast growing in favor in that city.
Mr.. Miller will return here next
week and superintend- minor i'm
provements and alterations to the
theatre in this city. It Is planned
to remodel the exterior, especially
the front, and give tho theatre a
more striking appearance. Electrci
fans have been installed and other
changes mado fer the comfort Of
their patrons. The Passaic theatre
will close on June 20 and not re-
open for stock plays until the latter
part of August.
Beyond Pardon" is the name Of
the farewell play on this week at
the Bijou. 1t was greeted by an
enthusiastic audience last night and
bids fair to rival many of it's sue
cessful predecessors. The play Is
located in New York and the nearby
Jersey country, and gives every tai
ented member of the Miller caste an
opportunity to display his or her
worth to local audience for the
last time before the summer season
sets In. Mr.. Clark gave a song and
monologue specially which made a
big hit and proved to be enjoyable
to the highest extent.

MONTHS PAY,
FINE: IMPOSED
ON POLICEMAN
John Dunham !s Punished
BY Aldermen for IntoxiCa-
tion While on Duty.
MONEY TO PENSION FUND

Patrolman John Dunham, charged
with having been intoxicated while
on duty on June 12, was fined one
months pay eighty-three dollars
last night by the Board of Aldermen,
on recommendation of the police
committee, of which Alderman Rich
ard j. Calvin is chairman. The
charges preferred by Chief of Po-
lice Patrick j. Burke and Acting
Mayor Ferd Garretson, reported to
the board last night by the latter's s
official, was substantiated by the
committee. PatrOlman Dunham re-
turned to work this morning, but
for the next thirty days will reap
no financial benefits from his en-
ployment.
1t was charged by Mayor Garrett
son that Dunham was found intoxi-
Gated while patrolling his post, and
acting in a manner not betitting
a policeman. These charges We're
also preferred by Chief Burke, who,
with Sergeant ClarEsou Durham, 50
verely reprimauded the accused man
when he was arraigned on June l3
before the desk at the police station
and made to face the charge. Mayor
GaTretson was also present at the
time and scored Patrolman Dun
ham for his behavior.
1t is believed by many that the
Board of Aldermen was lenient with
the culprit Others say the accused
man has been q fitting policeman in
the past, and for several years has
been faithful to duty. Some declare
the patrolman slipped off the
straight and narrow path in this
instance due to the strain expert
enced in the industrial strike, which
was at it's height at that time. Dur
ing those days and nights last week,
who1 rioting was prevalent, the po-
lice force snatched but little sleep.
Patrolman Dunham will be the
first to contribute to the police pen
sion fund, which was instituted re-
Gently. lie will turn over his full
months pay to the fund ,as the law
requires that all fine inflicted upon
policemen shah be used for pension
purposes.

PARDEE MEN
THE LATEST
TO WALK OUT

bridge Also Tied Up Along
With Detinning Plant.
GIRLS MAY QUIT TODAY

Employees of the Federal Terra
Gotta Works and the Vulcan Detin-
ming plant in Woodbridge township,
the last to go on strike following
the stampede Of last week, were
joined yesterday afternoon by about
ten men employed in the shafting
department and today by about sew
enty men of the rolling mill of the
c. Pardee Works. The men in the
shafting department of the Pardee
plant have made no formal demands,
1T Is declared. The rolling mill
workers want two cents more per
ton. The girls in the tile works
threatened to quit at noon, but did
not do so.
All the employees of the Federal
Terra Gotta Company's plant in
Woodbridge township, near Maurer,
went out today due to a strike of
about 150 laborers yesterday The
officials at the works do not know
what the men are out for. They
declare no formal demands have
been made, but have learned in a
roundabout way that the laborers
wanted more money to secure wages
on en- equal basis with those estab-
lished last week at plant 2 of the
Atlantic Terra Gotta company in
this city. Indications are, accord
In gto officials of the Federal con-
cern, that majority of the en-
ployes, taking in practically all but
the labOrers, are not on strike, but
simply out because the laborers are
striking.
! When Superintendent Grant was
asked today what the laborers of
the Federal terra Gotta were strik-
ing for, ne said he did not know, hpt
guessed it was for vacation
About 175 laborers are now on
strike at the Vulcan DEFINING
works in Sewaren just north Of
Woodbridge Creek. The men are
= getting fifteen, sixteen and seven
| teen cents an hour and all want
eighteen cents per hour. The com
pany has offered a cent more an
! hour and it appears those terms will
be accepted before the week i3 over.
Some of the men have expressed
themselves as being satisfied to re-
turn at the offer made, but are hold
ing out to get the expression of all.
There has been no violence shown
at either the Federal or Tulcan
plants. About twenty armed depu-
ties patrollng about the oil refinery
of the Barber Asphalt Paving COM
pany watched for any outbreaks or
attempts to damage property at all
Of these plants last night.
