FOUR WOREMEN ARE DYING

Police Raid Union Hall and SIS Rifles
and 55 Swords Are seized-3ooo Men
Refuse to Work.
Four policemen were shot in a bat
tie with striking employees Of the Tide
water Oil Company, at Bayonne, N. j.,
after they had been attacked by a
mob.
They returned the fire and eight of
the strikers we're wounded, four Of
them so seriously they may die. None
of the policemen was dangerously
wounded.
More than thirty shots were fired in
a pistol battle between the Bayonne
police and mob Of about a hundred
strikers earlier in the day.
The first battle ended in the rouT
Of the strikers, who scattered into
houses in the vicinity. One policeman
was shot.
The mob was launching an attack
on the big plant Of the Tidewater Oil
company which figured so conspicu-
ously in the last oil strike. They had
pulled down about forty feet Of picket
fence around the building and frighten-
ed a number of loyal employees from
their work.
Police reserves were. hurried to the
scene by automobiles. AS the ma
chimes arrived some of the strikers
opened fire. The police returned the
shots, and for about ten minutes the
bullets flew. The unarmed strikers !
took to their heels, and were followed
in a few minutes by their armed lead
ers. No arrests were made.
Previously, a mob of about fifty
strikers had attacked Michael Machan-
ska, a contractor in East Twenty-sec-
ond street, and beaten him so badly
that he had to have medical attention.
Machauska has the contract for laying
a section Of new pavement in Twenty
second street. When he arrived for
work he found that the strikers had
large quantities of his
paving material and piled it up on the
car tracks to block trolley communi
cation with the oil plant, which lies
at the foot of the street. He at once
set about to clear away the barrier.
but was stopped and severely punished
by the mob.
AS a precaution against further vio-
ence, the police made a raid on My
iosh's hall, which is headquarters for
the strikers, and took away the fifty
i've rifles and fifty-fve swords stored
here by the department for drill prac-
ice.
Three thousand men are actually on
strike and more than twice as many
more are idle through intimidation by
he strikers.

This is not a place calculated to
breed good morals," said the judge.
THE way a man is held up in New

Dealers Met in Conference at the

The local automobile show has ex-
cited the interest of dealers through
out the eastern part of the state and
several met at the Wauregan house on
Wednesday evening as the guests Of
F. L. Caulkins of Middletown at an in
formal banquet.
Among the various matters discuss
ed was the problem of shipment of
cars from the factory. 1t is now al
most impossible for cars to come by
freight and those wishing their cars
early must have them shipped by ex-
press which means large additional
expense. In the spring. however. un-
less the embargo is lifted cars may be
shipped by boat to Buffalo and then
driven overland to their destinations.
After the banquet the company went
to the Aetna alleys where the retailers
bowled the wholesalers. The guests Of

Co, of Boston, L. H. Naples, Peter
