I have been advised by the'law officers of the city and county that the same Is a violation of law and inciting to rlot, ana, therefore, It is my duty as director of public safety to place him under arrest.” Mr. Murphy denled that he had made such a statement for publication. He says he merely expressed an opinion as to what might develop if the strike continues and the company refuses to arbitrate. The pub- | lished statement ftself, he sald, shows that a warning and not a threat was intended. ONE WOUNDED IN STRIKE RIOT State Police of South Bethlehem Fire on Mob of Foreigners.
