Steam Shovel Worker Ordered To Leave Job By Three Unknown Men Evidence of Violence in Brickyard Strike at Wuhlm Yard at Glaico This Morning- STRIKE QUIET HERE Local Yards Continue Production--Believe Strike is Coming to an End. The first evidence of violence in the present brick-yard strike happened this morning shortly after the morning shift had gone to work on the Washburn yard at Glasco.

A steam shovel operator who was working in the sand pit across the hill from the yard was suddenly confronted by three men who made their way to the sand pit from the direction of a patch of v.oods and ordered the shovel operator to quit his job. The shovel operator said he had been threatened with violence if he did not quit and he immediately left the shovel and reported to the yard. Later a deputy sheriff was sent to the sand pit to protect the worker and he returned to work. Working Alone Who the men were and what organization they represented is not known. At the time the shovel operator, who had gone to work at 5 o'clock on the morning shift, was alone in the sand bank.

Except for -the truckmen who came from time to time to the pit he was working alone. Except for this one incident everything was apparently quiet along the river front from the Hutton yard on North street in Kingston to Glasco. It was quite evident today that the strike was weakening. The Hutton, upper Goldrick and Washburn plants in this district were today continuing production. Loading fc cargo is taking place at the ham yard at East Kingston and at the Jova plant in Roseton, in the Newburgh bay district, brick are being placed aboard barges for the first time since the strike began.

One operator said that employes are doing some independent thinking with regard to the wages and working conditions to which they are entitled and are recognizing the unreasonableness of the demands formulated by the organizers. At the Hutton plant on North street this morning 35 more men than could be taken care of reported for work. Patrol Strike Area Meanwhile the strike area is being patrolled by police officers in the city under the direction of Sergeant Simpson and Sheriff Molyneaux has a force of deputies on the job ail along the river from the Hutton yard to the Washburn yard at Glasco where Deputy Sheriff Clayton Vredenburg was in charge of the guard from 4:30 o'clock this morning. The predicted strike of all men on yards north of Kingston did not materialize this morning and efforts to get in touch with Joseph Quinn, general organizer and manager for Local 1467 of the Brick- Handlers' Union, were without avail. It was reported that he had been in Kingston on Sunday evening but had left for Coxsackie and later for Beacon and that he would be in Kingston again this evening.

Shortly after 9 o'clock Sheriff Molyneaux had a call from the Goldrick yard where it was reported eight or 10 cars were blocking the highway.

In response additional "men were sent to the scene but the rumors were apparently without foundation for no pickets showed up, except an occasional picket who was stationed along the road with his "unfair" placards on display. AH was peaceful and quiet except for the one incident at the Washburn yard and the three men who threatened the shovel man were not identified with any of the labor organizations in the strike. Pickets at Terry Yard. Much of the picketing was done about the Terry yard, although there was no work apparently going on there. From time to time pickets in cars would pass the Hutton plant but there was no effort being made to molest the loyal workers on the yards which were working.

A mass meeting was held Sunday at Glasco. It was an attempt to get the men up the river to go out today, said operators. They claimed that the move to get the men out up the river had been unsuccessful, and one of the operators said he believed the strike broken and that there would 'be a general movement back to work.

The action was as hectic as it vas brief. The shocks were felt in sections )f Connecticut and Long Island, did not extend to Manhattan where a majority of the netropolitan area's rock-bedded skyscrapers tower.

Thib would place the quake's origin, he said, roughly "in the i Long Island." Past records indicate. Dr. Lee said, the quake was the third ever recorded in New York state.

Cosenza Severely Hurt Near Flatbush Air Data Lxst as Fire Ruins Delicate Devices Lansing, Iowa, July 19 UP -Twisted and charred wreckage in an isolated farmland valley was all hat remained today of Dr. Jean Placard's unique multi-ballooned aircraft in which he made a six- jour experimental flight from lochester, Minn. The stratosphere filer studied the results of the flight from mental notes. Fire which enveloped the novel craft as it landed In a clump of trees destroyed data recorded by delicate instruments. The landing point was about 75 miles by air from Rochester.

Dr. Piccard was non-committal as to whether the flight had achieved his objective to determine the feasibility of using a cluster of small sounding balloons in place of the conventional large bag for stratosphere explorations. The Swiss-born veteran of several successful stratosphere flights had planned a journey to the rarified air regions with a craft lifted DV 2,000 sounding balloons if the experiment were successful. Dr. Pieard escaped from his naming "bath tub" gondola with nothing more than singed hair.

But the fire melted the metal of the Gondola, burned away most of the ropes and shrouds, and de- stoyed the instruments. The scientist said the fire might have been caused by the explosion of TNT which be detonated in order to facilitate the away the upper half of the 95 four-foot balloons filled with hvdrogen gas. Dr Piccard took off from an athletic field at Rochester at 12:08 a. m. Sunday.

He carried ultra-short wave radio equipment to communicate with bis ground crew but the latter lost contact about 3 a. m. About daylight the craft began to lose altitude after reaching a height of 11,000 feet. Dr. Piccard cut loose some of tbe balloons with his sheath knife but they caught in those above so he used a pistol to "kill" about a dozen of them.

He released the last cluster of bags immediately before landing.

If Congress should adjourn shortly after the court fight ends or is put aside, they pointed out, Senate confirmation might be held up. Not every confirmation is voted quickly.

President Wilson submitted the name of Louis Bran- dels on January 28, 1916, but it was not confirmed until June 1. A recess appointment after adjournment of Congress is not without precedent, but observers said it might be embarrassing if the St-nate later refused to approve the nominee. John Rtttledge was appointed Chief Justice by George Washington in 1795. He sat through the August term. In December the Senate turned him down.

The Constitution provides that the President "shall have the power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session." Many persons in Washington hold the opinion that Mr. Roosevelt intended to appoint the late Senator Robinson of Arkansas to the vacancy. Senate confirmation probably would have been speedy, for most of Robinson's colleagues had urged his selection. Among those whose names frequently have been mentioned In connection with an appointment to the high court are Attorney General Cummings, Solicitor General Stanley Reed; Chairman James M. Landis of the Securities Exchange Commission; Gov.

Frank Murphy of Michigan; Justin Miller of the Board of Tax Appeals; Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora New York; Judge Learned Hand of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and Samuel Rosenman New York, Loyalist Planei Winning Victories as They Prove Superior in Latest Air Battle.

A duel between big guns--ranging in size from three to ten inches--echoed all day in the capital. Besides the Brunete spearhead into insurgent lines, government forces kept chipping at insurgent positions closer to Madrid. Government guns shelled a military camp near upper Car.i- banchei, outside the, southern limits of the rity. Government aircraft followed up with a heavy bombardment of the, camp, where insurgents have concentrated a reserve contingent in former air- force barracks.

Robinson loomed today as the state Democratic committee was called into special session Friday. Governor Carl E. Bailey indicated a special election would be held about Sept. 14 to fill the post. The 42 year old Governor, considered a certain candidate, held in his hands the power both to set the time lor the election and to select a possible interim ap- Thomas pointee.

Chairman Thomas Fitzhugh, who managed Bailey's gubernatorial campaign, Issued a call for the meeting of the state Democratic committee. It is empowered to nominate the party candidate or order a primary. A majority of the committee is politically aligned with the governor. Bailey disclosed he had advised Postmaster General James A. Farley that he preferred to make no temporary a i ie said he pointed out that a special election to fill the vacancy must be held between Sept.

14 and Nov. 12. A stormy session of the state committee was presaged by the protests of seven county committees against reports a nomination would be made. They demanded a primary, the lountles offering to bear their share of the election costs, estimated al between $30,000 and $40,000. Republican leaders remained silent on their plans.

Last year Republicans competed unsuccess- for all state offices. Robinson defeated his Republican opponent by more than, six to one. J.
