'' STRIKERS QUIET IT
STMiARDJIL PLANT
Sheriff Warns Men First Man Who
Shoots Will Be
Arrested
PAYDAY DELAYED A WEEK
Fear of Clash Keeps Employes
Away From Works of
Company
By Associated Press
N'ew Tork, July 23.—Comparative
quiet, in marked contrast to the three
previous days df the week prevailed
In the Constable Hook section of Bay
onne, N. J., to-day around the plants
of the Standard Oil Company and the
Tidewater Oil Company, which have
been closed because of a strike of
1,000 men in the Standard Oil Works
and the resultant disorder whereby j
three men were killed and scores in
jured.
Crowds gathered as usual In the
streets leading to the works to dis
' cuss the situation but no threatening
move was made. Desultory firing oc
curred during the night but the police
said this was chiefly due to some false
alarm among the watchful guards.
Sheriff Kinkead and Commissioner of
Public Safety Henry Wilson said to
day they believed the situation was
well in hand and that there would be
no need of troops.
Two events set for to-day caused
the authorities some uneasiness, how
ever, and they kept a strong force of
police and ' deputy sheriffs on duty.
One of these was the funeral of the
• first victim of the riots, John Stran
chik. Some of the leaders wanted a
public funeral with music and oratory
but the authorities forbade this. A
church service conducted by the regu
lar clergymen of the vicinity and a
procession, it was declared, would not
be interfered with, but speeches were
barred.
The other matter to cause uneasi
ness is the fact that this is payday at
the works and It was thought some
of the men might go there to collect
wages and their approach might in
cite shooting and disorder. Sheriff
Kinkead, In order to avoid possibility
of trouble, asked the strikers' com
mittee to defer their payday for a
week and said that If any of the men
■were in distress and needed their
wages, he would personally try to col
lect the money. The committeemen
Add they would present the sheriff's
"lew to the men.
Sheriff Kinkead Invited the strik
ers' committee, which is headed by
Jeremiah J. Daly, to police headquar
ters and besides discussing the pay
proposition asked them to strongly
counsel the men to avoid further dis
order. He appealed to them, for the
sake of homes and families, to keep
men off the streets. He said he believ
ed the strike could be settled without
further bloodshed and he asked for
their hearty co-operation, which was
promised.
"I want to warn the strikers
through you, as their committee," he
concluded, "what I have instructed my
deputies to arrest the first man who
fires a shot."

happy bunch. "Nothing small anout
