Additional Tears tnat tnere may De
another armed clash in the fertilizer
workers strike was felt today at
Roosevelt upon receipt of the word
that Calman Patty, the second vic
tim of the deputies gun play, had
died In the Alexian Brothers hospi-
tai in Elizabeth at HAS o'clock
Hand bills calling for mass meeting
of citizens ito rid the borough of in
fuences which have retarded its
progress" were distributed this af
ternoon and it is feared that violence
may grow out of the meeting. So in
tense is the feeling aroused by Pat
tvs death that the authorities are
taking additional precautions to
forestall a repetition of Tuesdays
clash when the public funeral of the
first victim, Alesandro Desidori, takes
place Saturday.
To Continue Probe.
Patrick F. Gill, sent by the Fed
eral Commission on Industrial Rela-
tions to investigate the Roosevelt
strike made a preliminary report to
the committee in executive session
this morning. He was ordered back
to Roosevelt to secure additional
data and will report Monday, when

Alleged Gunmen Hiding.
With Investigations being made by
federal, state and county officials, all
Roosevelt is today seething with the
rumor that the twenty-five deputies
charged with manslaughter in shoot
ing down unarmed alien laborers at
the Williams & Clark plant Tuesday
are not the ones who really partici-
pated In the assault that resulted in
the killing Of one man and inturing
of fourteen others. Charges are be-
ing made that the best appearing
deputies have been put forward by
the agency and that the real partici-
pants, said to be New York gun-men,
are being hid.
Strikers Ask Protection.
The strikers yesterday appealed to
Governor Fielder for protection from
lawless deputies, stating that unless
aid is given the strikers will be COM
PEELED to arm themselves against
murderous attacks. Congressman
Meyer London, Socialist, is to advo-
cate the cause Of the strikers and will
address them Saturday when the fu-
neral of Alesandro Desidori, the first
striker killed, will take place in
Chrome. Mother Jones, famous for
her activities In the Colorado labor
difficulties, has been requested to
address the strikers and wives of the
strikers and a mass meeting of the
Indignant citizens of Roosevelt will
be held this afternoon in Chaster's s
hall to protest against the acts of the
Jerry" OBrien men.
No Further Rioting.
:. No further rioting has occurred
and the strikers are being kept in al
most perfect order by the police force
under Chief Henry Harrington, who
Indignantly denies that lack of bor-
ough police protection was the cause
for Tuesdays disorder.
Work started yesterday at the Lei
big plant, and the Williams & Clark
factory is policed by the same depu-
ties who were arraigned yesterday af-
ternoon on charges of manslaughter.
Indignant over returning the same al
legged "gun-men" to Roosevelt, Mayor
Joseph Hermann will confer with
Judge DAILY this afternoon in an eff
fort to have them removed.
Examines Many Witnesses.
Patrick F. Gill, an investigator for
the Federal Commissioner on Indus
trial Relations, which is now sitting
In New York, examined many wit
nesses of the shooting yesterday in an
effort to obtain an exact version of
the affair That the deputies were
entirely unjustifed in making the at
tack upon the men was the evidence
CLEANED by the investigator, who was
acting upon orders from Commission
er Frank P Walsh. After examining
eye-witnesses of the affair, among
