OIL MEN STRIKE Walkout at Bayonne Ties Up Barrel and Can Shipments of Oil and Naphtha to Europe. MAY AFFECT TIDEWATER PLANT NFW YORK, July 20. Virtually every workman employed by the Standard Oil company at Its Consta ble Hook plant ot Bayonne went on strike today. There are now about 5,000 men aut. At the adjoining Tidewater oil plant the men still are at work, but they are said to be restless and the strikers say they will shortly Join them. It they do the entire produc tion of oils and gasoline and naphtha, as well as the by-products will stop. There was some disorder at the Stand ard Oil plant this morning, when a few of the men insisted upon going to work. Some shots were fired, but apparently they were intended only to add to the noise and excitement, as none was re ported hit. The police made six arrests. Mar Call More Police. , Director of Public Safety Henry. WUfojj. of Bayonne sent almosi. the entire police force of the city to the plant. If there Is further disorder Mr. Wilson will ask his fellow Commissioners to vote money for special police. The strike trouble at the works first appeared last week, when the still clean ers, n comparatively small part of the working force, went out because their de mand for an 11 per cent Increase In wages was not granted. They were followed by the men in the barrel shops, 800 In num ber, who hsd asked for 16 per cent in crease. Today the rest of the employes refused to go into the works. tops Shipments to Europe. The strike puts an end for the time being to the loading of case and barrel oil for Europe. There are six steamers now tied up at the piers in the Kill Von Kull, which skirts the plant. They prob ably will be towed out into the stream and anchored off Tompklnavllle if the strike continues. They are in various stages of loading. Ail six are said to be destined for England. The men who struck todsy made no de mand for Increased wages, but it is thought likely they will do so before they return to work. At present their strike la of a sympathetic nature. O, B. Oifford, chairman of the manu facturing board of the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey, announced today that the company will shut down the plant at Bayonne rather than accede to what the company believed to be the unjust demand of the strikers. Orduna Incident . Formally Before the Secretary of State WASHINGTON, July 20. The Oerman submarine attack on the Cunard liner Orduna was formally brought to the at tention of the American government today by WillVam O. Thompson, counsel for the Industtlal Relation commission, who was a passwger on the ship. Secretary Laiutng took Mr. Thomp son's communication to tha White House with hhn when he went for some time before the cabinet meeting for an early conference with 'President Wilson.

It will, however, serve as the basis of an Investigation to be con ducted by the Treasiu-y department, which wilt- gather affidavits from the passengers and crews.

Through Copenhagen comes a re port of the occupation of Wlndau by the Germans. This menace to the Russians from the north Is paral leled from the southeast by the ad vance of the Teutonic allies on the Lublin railroad, one of the chief arteries of communication with War saw. The wisdom of abandoning the Warsaw sallnnt In favor of a straight Russian line dally becomes a more leflnite subject of speculation among the allies and Russian retirement from the capital before it Is Invested completely is predicted widely. From Wlndau the Germans are reported to be advancing toward Riga with the Intention of seising that port and clear ing the nearby sees of mines, thus ob taining another naval base. All the glory hss not gons to von Hlndenburg, as his colleague. Field Marshal von Mackensen Is credited with the capture of Kras nnslav.
