Great Labor Demonstration in
Massachusetts.
How the Haverhill Strikers Oh
served New Years.

Addresses by Miss Frances willard
aud Lady Somerset.


BY The HERALD's Leased Wire
HAvERH1LL, Mass, Jan. 1.-The demonstra-
ton OF the strikers of this city t'night was by
far the largest of the kind ever held here. Five
or six thousand of the shoe-workers and their
sympathizers paraded the principal streets,
while fireworks and decorations gre tod the
men as they marched. The procession made
its way to the city hall, where a mass meeting
was held.
J. NJ, Carey presided and introduced Miss
Frances L. Willard, who delivered a stirring
address, urging the women to continue their
work of organization. She expressed sym
pathy with the working PEOPLE and advised
them in their struggles for the right to main
tain the respect of their fellow men, which
could be accomplished in no better way than
bv the refusal to have anything to do with in
toxicants
Lady Somerset was then introduced. She
SAID that while she was unable to discuss the
local aspect OF this matter she knew that the
strikers were making fight for manhood and
Womhnhood, and urged them to stand out per-
slstently against the greatest tyranny the
world had ever known--the modern CAPT talist.
She made an eloquent appeal for trade unions
among women and told what it had accom-
plished among women in England.
Mrs. Henry Hicks of London spoke of the
working peoples condition in London. and eX-
pressed her sympathy with all movements to
peter their condition everywhere. Labor
leaders followed these speakers, and the meet
ing closed amid great enthusiasm.

Lexow Has No Criticism for Parkhurst's
Manifeato.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. l In an interview this
evening with an Associated Press reporter
Senator xow-said he had no answer TO make
on the criticisms of the work of the committee
contained in DR.. Parkhurst's manifesto. OBJ
vicusly the best answer would be to point to
the committee and say: "By their works ye
shall know them.'
Senator Lexow said Ire had too high regard
for DR.. Parkhurst to say that he is actuated by
any but the highest and purest motives in
what he says or does. But" continued Sena-
tor Lexow, "it is strange indeed that when
the crucial point was reached and Superin-
tendent Byrnes was on the stand, as every
body knew he would be on last saturdar,
nothing that was suggested was done. Yet
this criticism. Throughout the entire eN-
animation Mr.. Moss stood at Mr.. Goffs side
and co-operated in the conduct of the inquiry.
1t is unnecessary TO add anything to this"
The senator then said: "As to a deal 1t is
plain one could not be effected, unless through
cooperation OF majority of the committee,
acting in conjunction with all the counsel.
The statement of this proposition is the best
reputation OF the charges. Let anyone suggest
n question that was not pnt, a charge that was
not made an indictment that was not brought,
ioranything in short, that was omitted, be-
fore they criticize
TO my mind the meat OF the statement is to
be found in the declaration that the senate has
uncovered all the corruption in the existence
OF the police department. and there still re-
mains work for the Society for the Prevention
OF Crime to do. Iwish them Godspeed in this
work"

hGws SnAW ana mOnbaSrrht.
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 1.-Csptain Fidelius of the
schooner Azalea, which arrived yesterday
with lumber from Tacoma, recalls the fact
that he-saw Two steamers off Cape Flattery on
the evening OF December 9th, which it is
thought were probably the missing Keweenaw
and Montserrat. The gale was at its height,
and it seemed that the vessel he took to be the
Keweenaw had been outside the straits and
past Cape Flattery, but encountering the
storm had turned back and lay to under the
cape.
About dusk another steamer probably the
Montserrat, passed down the straits and
saluted the Kewenaw with three Whistles the
latter responding with the same numt er. The
steamers approached within speaking dist
ance and after some talk between them both
turned and went to sea, oou bling the cape and
passing out OF sight forever.
The Azalea went out a couple of hours later.
The gale was kicking up u terrible sea and the
decks were deluged, the water flood
ed and the schooner drifted helplessy,
until morning, when the captain made out
that he was near Cape Beale. There were three
distinct seas meeting off Flattery, according
to the skipper. one from the northwest and
one alongside from the southeast the latter
the stronger, and the current from the straits.
which, meeting the southeast sea, raised such
a commotion that il was a wonder that any
vessel lived through it. The Azalea was taken
up and thrown down like book upon the
floor by the sudden and uncertain sea, strain
ing the vessel to her utmost.
