Three Men Under Arrest ~ Charged with Having Caused the Death of a Strike-Breaker in Jersey City. ‘The decision of the Tnternational Brotherhood of Teamsters to abide by what is known as the “Astor House Agreement,” and their refusal to go it on © sympathetic strike with the freight handlers, cast u gloomy spell ‘over Lawrence J, Curran, President of Bie" freight handlers, and other strike ‘edders to-day. » Curran has announced several times ‘within the last week tuat ho could pull the teamsters out over the heads of their union officinis and despite the ‘agreement. made at tne Astor House een the Executive Council of the ters and the representatives of ‘the Truck-Owners’ Association. No Sympathetic Strike. At a meeting in Hudson Hall local ‘uuhlons’ Nos, 9% and 708, of the Inter- fational Brotherhood of Teamsters, after a full -liscussion of the frelgit handlers’ strike, unanimously voted to’ ratify'the agreement made at the Astor House and to live up to the clause prohibiting sympathetic strikes. There was not a dissenting vote. When asked if there was any chance of the teamsters going out on strike, either as a union or Individually, to- @ay, W. H. Ashton, as a member of the Executive Council of the Brotherhood of Teamsters, replied: WIll Attend to Own Business. “We are going to work. We have fullvepntrol of our men and they are mot. going to strike. We don't intend to let the frelght handlers run our end! of it. We have enough to run our affairs without interfering with thelr ena. The way the men ratified the agreement with the ‘Truck-Owners' As- aociat shows the Way they feel. ‘The ratifcation was unanimous.” ‘The action of the teamsters was a great disappointment to Curran, Edward Griffin, Peter Hoenizk and Edward Crawford have been arrested 4m connection with the death of Dom- Anle Sakoposk!, the strike breaker who ‘was beaten to death in Payonia avenue, Jersey City.

In some mysterious manner the dread “Black Hand’? has sealed the Ups of Antonlo Bartolotta and Andrew Di Fiore, and from them the police have been able to learn little which Hes back of the explosion which wrecked thelr grocery and home at Nos. 677 and 679 Fourth avenue, Brooklyn Further than that Di Fiore recelved three letters commanding Bartolotta to carry $500 In a bag on his shoulder along Fourth avenue until “a trusty and desperate man" would take It, and that the explosion followed thelr disobed!- ence of this order, the police know little, Before Salyadore Zaccone was ar- rested yesterday afternoon Bartolotta wad rendy to tell all he knew. He even gave the police Zaccone's name. In the Fifth avenue station house Zaccone shot a glance at Bartolotta, raised hia hand with his fingers, making a mystertous signal, and, presto, Bartolotta forgot all he might know. In terror he closed his mouth, and since then the police have been unable to get anything from him. efore Zaccone's arrest he thought him implicated, To-day he refuses to prose- cute him, “Tam afraid to,” he frankly admitted to an Evening World reporter to-day. “You do not know how these gangs operate, Thero are many of them and they are all banded together, They wilt contribute and get Zaccoen out, and if I were to prosecute they would take revenge on me. ‘The attempt to destroy the store and the home of Bartolotta and DI Fiore! was made at 3 o'clock yesterday | morning, What later proved to have been an eight-inca stick of dynamite was exploded In a narrow alley between the two buildings, not ten feet from the sleeping rooms of the Bartolotta family on the ground floor, and directly under the rooms occupted by Di Fiore, his mother, and a clerk. In the Barto- lotta family, besides the husband, were his wife and two infant children, Saw Men Running Away, The explosion was of such terrific forco| as to rip out a section of the wall of the hou big enough to drive u team through, The furniture of the kitchen and the dining-room on the ground floor, were driven ‘to the other side of the house, and the two cooking stoves were lifted bodily and hurled through the opposite wall, The members of the two families were hurled from thelr beds and all were bruised by glass and splinters of wood. Demanded Money of Him, Di Fiore told the police that he re+ celved three threatening letters de- manding money, dated April 18, 18 and 2, respectively, ‘The last letter in- structed him to put $500 In a sack, swing {t over his shoulder and walk down th avenue at a certain hour, when sted friend’. would take it. On pain of death he was war ed not to look around as the bag was taken from him, Di Flore was visited by Salvadore Zac- cone, who occupied rooms over the gro- cery. Zaccone told him he would tn- tercede with the society of the “Black Hand" to spare the life of the two gro- cers, Di Fiore told the Manhattan po- lice about the letters, belleving the ‘ang to centre in Manhattan, and noth- fig more was heard from them until the attempt at wholesale murder made yes- terday morning.
