Gov. Edge sent Adjt.-Gen. Frederic
Gilkson to Passaic in response to tho
appeal, who talked to Mayor George n.
Seger and Commissioner John II. Kehoe,
Director of Public Safety The Adjutant-
| General proposed an arbitration commit
tee of seven, to be composed OF three
members from each side and n neutral
member to be appointed by the Mayor.
He laid the proposal before strike lead
ers and representatives Of tho manu-
| facturers.
The strike leaders Appeared to favor
the plan. Tho manufacturers will con-
slider 1t to-day. The strikers ask recog-
milton of their union. a So per
cent. wage increase and the reduction
of working hours from ffty-five to forty
four week. In previous negotiations
the employers agreed tentatively to a
| forty-eight hour week but have been
| and a wage increase. They use the
argument that wages were increased
100 per cent. during the war.
The strike has put crimp in Pas
sales affairs. Except for two large
mills manufacturing has been at a
standstill. The strikers have lost a
million dollars In wages. Retail mer-
chants have had to accept large losses.
Five woollen mills attempted to break
the strike yesterday Notices were
posted on Saturday that the attempt
to resume would be made. The strike
leaders were active Sunday and hun
dreds Of strikers were IN the streets
leading to the mills at the hour set for
reopening.
There was no serious trouble. Sew
:. eral men who were going to work were
beaten. The remainder Of the strike
breakers changed their minds when
confronted and spoken to by the crowds
grouped near the gates OF the mills.
Only four men passed through the
pickets and reported for work. The en-
ployers conceded that the effort to re-
open had been a failure. They posted
notices saying that the mills will re-
main closed until such time as the EN-.
ployees show an inclination to return "a
owrk.
The Passaic Company Of State Militia
Reserves. armed with rifles, was mobil-
lied at the armory in anticipation OF
trouble. The company has a machine
! gun. 1t was not called out.
The strike is In change OF the Inde
pendent Union OF General Workers Of
the Textile Industry of Passaic anC
vicinity. 1t Is composed largely OF Ital
ians and Slavs. II has rejected affilia
ton with the I. W. w. and the American

though more men were reported at
work this morning at the steel plants
of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road Company and American Steel
and Wire Company at Ensley, West
field, and Fairfield, it was necessary
to transfer work at one or two places
to other parts of the district because
of a shortage of men at those points.
For instance the shops Of the Birm-
ingham Southern Railroad, subsidiary
to the Tennessee Company, is feeling
the absence of machinists and what
ever urgent work is necessary on en-
gines and machinery is being done at
Ensley. Eight of thirty striking ma
chinists here have returned to work,
however, it is stated.
In some of the electrical departments
of the big steel works at Ensley and
in the wire mills at Fairfield, there is
an absence of men, while in certain
departments at Westfield shortage of
labor is noted.
Announcement was made today
that reprisals proposed on those who
had refused to obey the strike call
would be a demand for their union
cards. 1t was understood at Ensley
that list of union men at work was
being prepared and that later on def
mite action against these would be
taken.
Production throughout the Birming-
ham district during the week has
been normal, although the railroad car
shortage has been felt more than in
several weeks.
