They had been getting twenty cents an hour. They were employed by the Krle Sail road, which leases the dock and yards from tho New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad. The advance in pay was refused, whereupon the men promptly struck. The same day they shot Lieut. Farrlng ton of the Hdgewater police force and esterday a force of sixty-five detec tives was planted around the road. The danger point for attack from the strikers was tho Hhore Road, which lines the western end of tho coal yards. This Is about 1,000 feet from tho river and Is twenty feet higher than the level of the coal yards, On the other side of the Shore Road aro the Pali sades, which go up steeply for several bundled feet at this point. Most of ihc stiT.ters live In shanties In thu town of Cllffslde, Tho Kdgewnter police force numbers only ten men, but they were disposed a i on ml tho coal yards nnd yesterday afternoon that protection was thought sluing enough to allow the use of some strike breakers. Karly In the afternoon on old ferry boat with it hundred or moro strike breakers pulled Into tho dock of the loal yards. At this time tho strikers were scattered around tho top of the Palisades. As the ferryboat pulled Into Its slip with the strike breakers on board those on top of tho cliffs threw rocks down at tho detectives. The men In the yards laughed up at them. The strikers worn too far away to do any damage, and the detectives thought they rould protect the yards against uny possible nttnek, After an hour of vigorous display nf rage tho strikers disappeared, and tho men below thought that they had got tired of verbal hostilities, Tyip strike breakers wefo put to work han dling coal. Shortly afler 2 o'clock, however, tho strikers again appeared In full force on the top of thn Palisades. Rut In stead of waving Impotcntly and yelling they rushed down the winding path of the Palisades. Four Kdgcwater policemen were on tho road at tho foot of this path when Continued on Second Page.

He expects, how; ever, to get his fiddle back beforo he goes to Vienna for nn operation for appendicitis some time before Christ mas.

She eleclured that mobilization of the Austrian troops is going on moro or less openly in prep aration for tho invasion of Servla, If that notion should bo decided oil. "And among the terrible effects of the present Halkan war," she said, "Is this one: that all the forces, all the faculties of n great genius may be sacri ficed to this madness of universal slaughter.

EXCHANGE Pujo Investigators Hear 90 Per Cent, of Business Is Speculative. STOCK SALE FIGURES Millions of Shares . Beyond Capital Arc Sold, Is Testimony. COPPER "CORNER" UP United Metals Operations in Amalgamated in 1907 Brought Out. XKW YORK JIK.V AXfiRY Brokers Awaiting Chance to Testify Fret as Market Gets Active. Washington', Dec. 11. The Pujo com mittee of the House begun to-day Us Investigation of the New York Stock Kxchange. Many reams of statistics were Intro duced In evidence with a view to show ing that un overwhelming percentage of the business on the exchange In the so culled active stocks represents specula tive and not Investment transactions. The committee probed Into the well known operations In Amalgamated Cop. per stock back In tho spring and au tumn of 1907. Samuel t'ntermyer, counsel for the committee, charged In effect that a cor ner In the supply of copper had been effected through the I'nlted Metals Sell ing Company, of which the lato H. II. Rogers and William Rockefeller were the moving spirits. Tobias Wolfson. assistant manager of the company, acknowledged on the wit ness stand that In five months of that year the I'nlted Metals Celling Com pany had advanced oer $43,000,000 to producers on copper and that during that period something less than 0,000, 000 pounds had been marketed by his company, which Mr. I.'ntermyer con tended controlled the miles of between 60 and 70 per cent, of the entire cop per production of the country. The nor mal sales for a tlve months period would be, It was estlmulcd. between 1CU.000.000 , and 200,000,000 pounds. Artificial Shnrtaar Alleged. The Intimations plainly conveyed by counsel for the Investigators was that a high price of copper was maintained . through creating an nrtltlclal shortage In the market until the Insiders of the Amalgamated company had succeeded In unloading a largo volume of stock on I the public. j It was disclosed that as soon as the United Metals Selling Company began to throw some of Its big accumulations of copper on the market, the price of metal and the quotations of the stock both dropped sharply. The fact was brought out that during the period of ulleged nrtltlclal shortage of the copper supply, the stock had been J most active. In one month, for Instance, ; more than one nnd one-half times the entire number of shares Issued having been traded In on the Hock Kxchange. ; Manager Wolfson contended em phatically that there had been no arti ficial manipulation of the copper market and that the United Metnli Selling Com pany had not been used to mnke money In the stock market for Insiders. All this testimony and much besides was given In the preserice of President .lames li, Mabon of the New York Stock Kxchange, several members of the board of governors and half a dozen or more other members of the big exchange, who have been summoned to Washington by tho Investigators. I'nablr to Teallfy. All day these members of the New York Stock Exchange sat In the big caucus room In the House office build ing, listening to Mr. Untermyer's ques tions nnd replies of witnesses without getting any opportunity to be heard. Meantime there was the deuce to pay In the stuck market and a more uncom fortable and disgruntled lot of witnesses could hardly he Imagiped. Several of them protested that their presence In Washington meant a big sacrifice to them at this time Hnd that the condition of the market was such as to demand their return at once to New York. Frequently the members of the New York board received telephono calls fiom New York and hurried out to talk with their partners or business as sociates, who had been left behind nnd who were seeking advice. In tho New York Stock Kxchange party were C. W. Turner of C. W. Tur ner & Co. and .lohn II, Orlesel of firlcsel & Itogers, two of the biggest and best known money lenders nn the exchange, These men were particularly discour aged over their failure to get a hear ing before tho committee, Other members of the exchange who cooled their heels In the committee room during the day were F, K, Sturgls, II, IC, IVmroy, Harry Content, Rudolph Keppler and tleorge W. Kly, secretury of the exchange. As soon as the hearing adjourned at -1:30 there was a rush by the New York contingent townrd Samuel IJnter mycr, counsel for tho committee.

And Mrs. Astor and her box p.ir'y heard and remembered and rode out on the stage to be wrecked without once trying to count the house. The Idea was Frank Crownlnshleld's.

"Don't count the house!" again yelled the stage manager. Nobody did. The Astor box party dutifully kept eyes straight ahead as the train shot ahead.

Mrs. Mary Goode, who admits having run a fiuestlonnblc resort In New York for two years, told the Currnn Alder manic committee yesterday that tho had paid for police protection every month; named the men who, she said, hnd received It, and declared protection money wus demanded nnd received from every similar resort In tho city. Altogether the witness estimated the number of women making vice a busi ness in New York nt 35,000. This num ber, she said, Included many girls who worked In stores nil day, but whose weekly wages of 4 or J5 made It almost compulsory for them to turn to Illegal employment as a means of livelihood. Mrs. Goode advocated before the committee the establishment of a citizens' committee or other com mission of unimpeachable character to regulate vice and, as she put It, to save those employed In such pursuits from the rapacHy- of tho police. No Mayor, Police Commissioner or District Attornoy, she said, could pre vent graft under tho present conditions. In return for taking hejbtislnesa from the hands of the police Mrs. Goodo promised on behalf of those conduct ing such resorts cooperation with tho Commission, with a view to making the streets of the olty safer and moro decent nnd putting down the white slave traffic.

Fear to Walk on Streets, She talked with apparent fearlessness hut admitted after her Btory was finished that sho was afraid to venture Into the street nlone. At tho beginning of her testimony Mrs. Goodo said that five gunmen, In cluding Gyp the Blood, raided her flat In West Fifty-eighth street on Jan uary 19, 1911, held up the men and women In the place and took all their money and Jewelry.
