PATERSON, N. J., July 24.--Wtth
only about 5000 silk mill workers
still on strike today, and the labor
war practically at an end, the ap-
rearance of Patrick Quinlan. the
I. convicted l. w. w. leader, and
Mayor Brueckmann, of Haledon, in
the Court House here were the most
important features of the labor con-
flict today Quinlan appeared to give
g'ball for his release from State prison,
+ while the Socialist mayor of Haledon
was also required to give bail, fol-
2 lowing his arrest on an indictment
charging him with causing unlawful
< assemblage.
> Mayor Brueekmann was brought
before Judge Klenert in the Court of
< Common Pleas and required to give
$4,000 for his appearance when want
z ted. The mayor was among those
who were arrested while doing pick
ct duty last week among the striking
silk mill workers. Although placed un-
E der arrest at the time, Mayor Brueck-
mann was not held the charge
against him being taken up directly
: with the grand jury which returned
j an indictment.
I. Patrick Quinlan, the convicted l.
z w. w. leader, was brought before
I. Judge Klenert from the State prison
at Trenton. Quinlan obtained his
temporary release on $4,000 bail, pend
ing the hearing on the writ of error
which his attorneys have secured
from the Supreme Court. Bail for
Quinlan was furnished by Fred d.
Warren. editor of the Appeal to
Reason, a Socialist publication of
Girard, Kan.
Z Miss Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, an
other T. w. w. leader, who was re-
Gently tried on a charge of melting
to riot met Quinlan at the Court
House. Miss Flynn's trial resulted
in a disagreement after the jury had
been out twenty-seven hours.
After the formalities of securing
Quinlans release had been completed
the convicted leader left the Court
House with Miss Flynn. The couple
stepped into a waiting automobile and
were driven to New York city. Quin-
Ian, with his long hair missing,
looked slightly changed since he was
taken to Trenton two weeks ago to
serve a term of from two to seven
years. When asked if he had any
thing to say Quinlan replied there
was nothing to be said at this time
but that perhaps he might have a
statement to give out after he had
completed some business in New York.
Strike virtually Over.
While Quinlan was at the Court
House 1000 broad silk workers were
holding a meeting in Helvetia Hall
and voted to return to work All tho
best terms that could be secured from
the mill owners. Thus the departure
of Quinlan and Miss Flynn from the
city and the end of the strike &C.
cured about the same hour.
The ribbon weavers still maintain
that they will hold out until the
bosses grant them a nine-hour day.
In answer to this announcement 1t
became known that the owners of
Che largest ribbon mills have signed
en- agreement which stipulates that
their mills shall be operated fifty
five hours week.
This answer of the bosses. coupled
with the fact that about $500 ribbon
weavers have already returned to
work, indicates that the weavers will
not be able to secure their demands
from the mill owners.
All Men Back by August.
On Monday when the strikers went
back to work in large numbers, the
strike was virtually ended. 1t was
declared today by the police that the
ranks of the strikers will be entirely
broken by the first OF August, as the
mills are taking back the workers
