Bayonne Oil Strike Leaders Arrest Amid Wage Talks
In Bayonne New Jersey two developments emerged in the oil workers strike. Strikers rejected the Standard Oil plant chief Hennesey's wage offer to return to work, while strike leader Jeremiah J. Baly was unmasked and arrested for falsely claiming to be a Standard Oil employee. He admitted misrepresentation and denied foreign government involvement. The sheriff said a thousand men could maintain order as about half of the five thousand strikers are foreign-speaking and its actions remain uncertain.

The plan mirrors Atlanta efforts with a five year guarantee by contractors and would not bind any city that declines.
