the instigation of employees of the
Phoenix Ceramic Works, near Metu@
chen, two men who signed peace
bonds In the amount OF 1900 each
may have to forfeit same.
On complaint OF two of the work
men at the ceramic plant warrants
were issued for Hugh C. Church, Jo-
seph McFagen and Charles Sykes,
striking pressers of the works.
Church and Sykes are already under
$500 peace bonds each alleged as
sault on workmen of the company,
and Church is also under a bond to
appear before the grand jury on q
second assault charge. The warrant
issued yesterday makes three dis
tinct assault charges against the
man. Some Time ago five warrants
were sworn to before Justice of the
Peace Pickersgill for strikers, but
for some reason the plant decided to
drop them.
New Charges OF Assault.
The new charges of assault accuse
the strikers of having followed two
OF the employees of the plant from the
works to Perth Amboy Thursday
night, and then having struck them.
One man bears a scar, which he de-
clares he received In the fray
Officials of the plant declare that
they should receive protection from
the assaults OF strikers ON their
workmen, and do not understand
how the men can be continually ar
rested on assault charges to no pur-
pose.
The strike was started following
reduction OF wages November I,
when the plant was closed until the
first of the year. Officials claim that
the works would have had to remain
closed all winter unless the company
was able to economize to an extent in
wages. An official OF the plant de-
clared this morning that the pressers
are averaging forty-flve cents an
hour. The men will be given hear
ing tomorrow morning.

GET $4,000 FOR
GIRLS DEATH
BY EXPLOSION
George Mackey, Father of Girl
Injured at U. S. Cartridge
Plant, Who Later Died, Wins
Suit Before Judge Daily.

The final determination In the suit
of George Mackey against the United
States Cartridge Company has been
filed in the court of common pleas
by Judge Peter F. DAILY. 1t awards
the plaintiff damages under the en-
ployers' liability act in the amount
of nearly $4,000.
1t sets forth that Gladys Mackey.
daughter of the plaintiff, died June
10, 1914, following injuries received
at an explosion at the plant; that she
was making $3.50 per week, but
from the testimony large part of
this was used in the support of the
Mackey family in Tottenville. 1t
states that though the amount the
young lady gave toward the support
of the family was less than SIS per
week, that she would have later
made a larger wage and likely have
given at least $5 to the support of
the family. In view of this the
Judge awarded the young girls de-
of SIS per week for 900 weeks; s106
for funeral expenses; payment of the
cost of all expenses during the first
two weeks the young woman was in
the hospital, and at the rate Of SIS
per week for the remaining five
weeks before she died. Thomas
Brown represented the plaintiff.
1t was shown that the family con-
ssited of Gladys, eighteen years old;
her mother and father, brother,
sixteen years old and two sisters and
q brother ten years old or younger.

WILL NAME COP
TONIGHT WHEN
ALDERMEN MEET
To Urge Adoption of Chance
man System, But If Motion
Fails, Mr.. Garretson Will
Ask Appointment of Cop.

With the proposed adoption of
chanceman or substitute system, the
police force of the city would be per-
manen.y increased by about three
men over the number now used, ac-
cording to calculations of members
OF the department. Mayor Ferd
Garretson plans to recommend to
the Board of Aldermen tonight at its
adjourned meeting to establish a
chanceman system. In event that
the recommendation does not meet
with favor, the executive plans to
enter the name of the man whom he
deems most fit for the position vacat-
ed by the death of the late Patrolman
Thomas Dalton. 1t has been rumor-
ed in the department that hitch is
under way and the Democratic alder
men will not support the man who
tops the eligible list, but Mr.. Garrett
son said he had heard of no such dis
agreement and he believed that none
existed, as he doubted that the al
dermen knew the name of the man
slated for appointment.
Suggest Three Chancemen.
1t has been suggested by some of
the police officers now serving that
the mayor name but three chance
men or substitutes, In order to give
them almost steady employment, and
thereby relieving them Of the neces-
sity of having another position. The
mayor has suggested that about
fifteen be named. In reply to the
officers suggestion he stated that IT.
was his intention Of naming about
fifteen, but to have the best of these
given first choice for employment
each time. This method, 1t was con-
cluded, would serve to keep the force
up to its full quota at all times;
would insure almost steady work for
the men topmost on the eligible list
and at the same time would insure
sufficiently large substitute list to
meet most cases Of emergency.

to escape from Matteaw wan August

return to Matteawan, his counsel de-
clared.
Thaws gray haired mother arrived
with Thaw's brother and sister, Mrs.
George l.. Carnegie. They took
seats In the front row reserved for
the Thaw family. Thsw was brought
in by two court bailiffs. He looked
vigorous and his color was almost
ruddy, showing little evidence of con-
finement. Other defendants struggled
in separately delaying the trial half
an hour. They were sharply repri-
manded by Justice Page, who threat
ened to forfeit their bail and hold
them In Jail and fine them for tardi-
ness.

CITY Y|SF|GHT|NG
PUBLIC UTILITY
BILL At HEARING
Measure Would Put City in Ab-
soIute Control of Public
Service, City Officials Say
Wight Represents City.

Believing that it would be to the
detriment of the city to have the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers control all public utilities, their
property, facilities, franchises, etc,
city officials rose up in unison against
passage of senate bill No. 232 today.
1t would give the utility commission
ers almost unlimited control over
public utilities except in cities of the
first class. Mayor Ferd Garretson
and Aldermen f. William Hilker,
John J. Clark and William c. Wilson
conferred on the SUBJECT this morn
ing. They consulted Senator William
e. Ramsay and were assured that he
would lend his power to aid in de-
feating the measure. City Attorney
Andrew Wight left shortly after the
conference for Trenton, where he
will appear to protest in the name Of
the city against passage of the bill
Under provisions of senate bill No.
232 the utility board would become
in almost full control of franchises
here, of the proposed municipal cleo
trio light plant, its distribution, the
city's water works and like depart
ments. AS the city's dealings with
the present utility board have been
anything but desirable, according to
the mayor and aldermen, it is not In
favor of relinquishing hold on its
utility rights, much less to place
them in the hands of the utility COM
missioners.
