Factory HEAD
UNDER ARREST
Oil Company Superintendent Charg-
ed With melting Riot.

New York, July 26.-Samuel H.
Edwards, general superintendent,
and thirty-two guards of the Tide
water Oil company's plant in Bay
onne, N. j., were arrested yesterday
charged with melting to riot, by
Sheriff Kinkead and his deputies.
The arrests occurred after guards
had fired shots near the plant.
All were Immediately arraigned.
Edwards was released on $500 bail
and Aug. l set for his hearing. The
guards, nearly all from other cities,
were sent to Jail in default of $500
bail each. P. Leon Bergoff, labor
representative, arrested with the
guards, was released on $1,000 bail.
The first arrests occurred after
reports of shooting from inside the
Tidewater plant. Persons living
near reported that early in the day
bullets had broken windows in their
homes. The pastor of Catholic
church reported a bullet struck the
outside of his rectory.
Sheriff Kinkead said he was pass
ing the works with two deputies
when armed guards appeared on top
of the walls. He called to them that
they were under arrest, but one, he
said, leveled a rife at him. When
this guard saw the sheriff's two dep
uties preparing to shoot he dropped
his weapon and all surrendered.

rust. How serious that is, do not

serious, as the wheat Is nearly past
