The failure of the chief of police to
take what the mayor considered proper
precautions in the event of an outbreak
on the part of the striking dyers' help
ers and their >ympatbizers was severe
~ commented upon by the mayor. and
the chiefs apparent inactivity caused
the mayor to take command of the pc
lice in person. The mayor went to po-
lice headquarters in the morning and
had an the men of the reserve lined up
in front of him. Then he made a short
but pointed address.
"Men." he said, IF your clubs prove

Several silk manufacturing firms
opened for work during the day. They
have their plants in the Hope. Hair
meny and Todd mills. Each employs
about twenty-five men. In each of
these plants every employee was armed
with a revolver. Before taking this
step the mayor had been consulted 10y
the manufacturers and expressed the
opinion that the employers were fully
justified in arning their men and that
it was Il necessary precaution in view
Of the riotouS conduct of the strikers
and their sNlnpathizerS.
Not one dyeshop started up, although
several were opened. The employers
were anxious to resume operations but
the men refused to work, fearing VIC
lence at the hands of the strikers

the day that only the executive com
mittee of the Dyers' Helpers union
would be permitted to hold meetings
for the present and that if at any of
these meetings one word was uttered |
that tended to incite violence the |
speaker would be instantly arrested. |

sists of twenty-five men employed in |
different shops and are of various ma
tiOnalities.
