A conference of strike leaders and
employers, called by Mayor O'Neill in
IN effort to settle the trouble, had to
be deferred because William C.
Rogers, state mediator, whose pres.
ence was desired, could not reach
here in time from Albany. He will be
here today.
When it was found that there was
no prospect of a settlement, Sheriff
George Bancroft decided to call upon
Company NJ, national guard of New
York, to do riot duty as the situation
continued threatening. The riot at
the Columbian Rope company works,
where the police fired their volley,
was followed by a mob attack upon
the International Harvester company
cordage mills in the other end of the
town. No was seriously hurt in
this demonstration.
After troops had been placed in the
n~eighborhood of the Columbian mills,
rioting was renewed at the harvester
plant. A militia detachment was
rushed to the scene and quiet was
speedily restored.
Maria Saveria Peluso, a woman
whose arrest caused the rioting when
four were shot, was arraigned on a
charge of disorderly conduct. She
asked for an adjournment, which was
granted, and was released in $500
bail for examination Monday.
