1000 unskilled laborers. mostly for
eigners, occurred without warning
to-day at the big Johns-Manville plant
at Manville, two miles west, which
sprang up during the war, and is still
without police.
The strikers, who demand M eight

pay, blockaded all the roads leading to
the plant, and stopped the skilled
workers. Several clashes occurred.
One automobile was overturned in a
Glitch, and Walter Dewitt, superin-
tendent Of the packing department, was
attacked. He emerged with blackened
eyes and severe scalp injuries. Joseph
Richards, who was with Dewitt. also
was slightly hurt.
The strikers remained in full control

company, said the laborers were receiv-

while others on piece work got as

and an increase for the shorter day
amounting to 45 per cent above present
rates.
At daybreak the strikers established
picket. posts along the roads When

AMERICAN M. P.'S
every WHERE ON
WATCH in PARIS
Soldiers Who Stay Beyond
Leave Have Small Chance
of Escaping Detection
and Arrest.

Paris, Jan. 24.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. 1.-The
American military policeman is
about the most all-pervading thing
in the city Of Paris. The machinery
of registration in and out of the
railway stations cannot be -pene-
trated by those absent without
leave"
On the incoming platform Of all
the railway stations a line of these
men distinguished by red hat bands
and black brassards bearing the let
tiers IN. P" herds every American
along a designated passage, usually
fenced in, to the registration Office
There his travel orders and identih-
cation card are examined and he is
given a little blue ticket on which
is written the period of his stay in
Paris. The soldier must show it to
other guards at the station exit and
always have it ready to produce on
the demand, for the M. p" is
everywhere.
In the most unexpected places
and at the most unexpected times
the M. P" is likely to step up to a
soldier and ask CURLY "Your per-
mission, please"
The M p" is around every cor
ner. in and outside of all the thea
tiers, at all the show places of Paris
and very much in evidence in the
cafe districts of the boulevard.
If a permission is not exactly in
order, if its stamped time limit for
Paris has expired, the offender is
taken to the provost marshars office
and it is serious matter after that
But as one of the IN. P.'s" re-
marked, 1T sure does work all
right, and it is hard to beat"

But all at once, ahead, the great
Williamsburg bridge, with its cleo
trio necklaces, leaped across the
melting night. Beyond the dusky,
rolling river. shot with glowworms,
the blazing towers of New York
famed against the horizon; fiery
balls of light, tossed above the the
atric flash of glass palaces which
reached upward to the conquest of
the sky.
Don't you love it?" said Mrs.
Lightbody ecstatically. Don't you
just love it,"
They glided skilfully among con-
centrating hordes, checked and held
in new multitudes, multitudes that
had the feeling of the mingled east.
They were caught in the jam of the
holiday hour, surrounded by wab-
bling peddlers' wagons, Hebrew,
American and negro; trucks with
brawny, half naked drivers;
thronged trolleys, white with the
last warmth of the summer; long,
grim funeral professions jogging
back to life; strident, creaking cars
packed with family parties; medioc-
rity everywhere on wheels, happy,
hot and Roisy, eying them with
covetous admiration as they the
privileged caste, passed, unrelated
and irresponsible, through the
churning. struggling crowd.
They did not see the soiled pres
ent at their sides or divine the chal-
lenge of the future. Ahead, across
the floating span, was the magic of
the night, GREATNESS, nervous city
pursuing the phantom of pleasure
with the same dynamic intensity
with which, during the ugly day, it
had scrambled for the wealth it
would leave for future generations
10 enjoy. The tired masculine day
was over, yielding to the glittering,
feminine night, and in the hanging
gardens OF the air was the feeling of
music and dancing. The night was
feminine; the night was theirs.
Each felt a quickening of the
nerves, an awaking appetite, sud-
den joy of existence, a sense of pos
session by the right of her position,
her charm and her power. All the
extravaganza of pleasure, all the
multiple electric allurement to the
eye, the singing call of violins, the
moving color of laughing crowds
existed for them.
Kitty Lightbody, rebel against
life of monotony and drudgery,
cried, with a staccato laugh:
at lastl My, it's grand to have
just one good time!
They passed out of the high chill
of the river into the sudden warm
breath of the tenemented city and
ran down to the Langdon hotel,
where the runabout was waiting.
