Not Made as Concession to
South River Strikers Follow
ing Riots, 1t Is Claimed.
NO MORE DISORDER
New Rate Went Into Effect
at Noon on ~.
Tuesday. s
By Special Correspondent.


South Amboy. July although 1T
is declared that the lowering of rates
has not been made as a concession to
the South River strikers who figured
in the disorderly attempts to boycott
the Raritan River railroad train SER
vice, a new schedule of fares went
into effect on that road an noon Tues
day.
On Monday the new passenger rate
schedule, raising the price of a single
trip ticket from five to ten cents, went
in 20 effect. The innovation was &C
companied by riots at the South
River station, where mobs of work.
men of foreiegn extraction gathered
to prevent workmen from taking the
trains on their way to pewdor plants.
The unruly crowd performed deeds of
such violence and threatened to do SO
| much harm that the presence of mil
itary and home defense guards was
necessitated.
At noon Tuesday 1t became known
that the railroad company had decid-
ed to lower the rates on an order
from President Bumstead, but II is
said that the threatened boycott had
nothing to do with the reduction Of
fares. 1t is believed that the change
was brought about as the result of a
conference between the railroad heads
and officials of the powder plants,
who believed that the increase would
work hardship upon their employees.
An order, posted by General Traf-
fic Manager George Chittick, gave an
nouncement Tuesday that the new
rate schedule would go into effect at
noon. The new rate for single tick
ct will be seven cents. Two tickets
will be sold for fourteen cents; three
| for twenty; ten for f1fty-flve cents,
and 100 for $3.50. This reduction is a
marked one and brings the present
rates within close range of the orig
| inal five cent fare plan.

Record Amount of Traffic Ham,

Automobile traffic in and about
this city yesterday was heavier than
on most other occasions For time
there were steady streams of cars
pouring through the city. A block

at South Amboy hampered traffic for
about an hour yesterday afternoon

reported from anywhere In this sec

traffic violations.
The blockade at the "hole in the

South Amboy from this city, was
caused when large truck became
stuck in the "hole." Freeholder
Alfred IT. Kerr stated today that the
size of the truck coupled with the
fact that showers had washed much
sand under the bridge caused the ve-
