Threats 10 Blow up Barber Asphalt
 Plant are Received.

Perth Amboy, N. J.. June 1.-The strike of several thousand workers in various factories here, which develop ed into a riot and bloodshed last week is still causing the authorities anxiety.
 Unconftrmed reports that the offici- als of the Barber Asphalt Workers had received letters threatening 70 blow up the plant were followed to- night by the assignment of forty extra deputies to help guard the plant.
 Strikers returned to their work to- day but remained for only fifteen minutes because of the faglure to reach satisfactory terms in their de. mand for wage increases. Other de- veiopments today were the votes of the majorities of the 1,200 strikers of the American Smelling and Refin- ing Company and the Underground Cable Works to accept slight increases

PLANTERS GET DAMAGES.
Court of Claims Gives Relief to Flood
 Damaged Owners.

Washington, June 17.-Decisions said to control 1l6 suits involving 200 plantations worth several million dol lars in the flood section of the Mis- sissilpi river valley between New Or leans and Cairo, H., were announced today by the court of claims, mainly in favor of the land owners on the question of government liability for damages accruing from leype con- struction work.
 For IT years the controversy has been waged before this court, involv- ing the legal liability of the federal government for having constructed and completed the leyee system along both side of the Mississippi river by confining the flood waters in a nar- rower channel and placing plantation lands between the improved levee system and the low water banks of the river, now in the adopted artifi- cial channel and thus destroying these lands.
