STRIKING OPERATIVES PARADE.
The Locked Out Mill Hands Of
Lowell Have Big Demonstration.

Lowell. Mass. April 13.-Thousands
of textile operatives who are out of
work on account of the strike partici-
pated in a parade today. The march
ing operatives passed through the bus
mess section Of the city and afterwards
held a mass meeting. The procession
was reviewed at city hall, by Mayor
Howe.
Speeches were made from three Diff
ferent points on the common. Repre-
sentative Jackson, of Fall River, con-
graduated the textile operatives on
TWO things, the way in which they a
conducted the strike and the fact that
they are gaining the confidence and re-
spect of the public. He said 1.-The mill
agents assert that their mills are not
equipped with modern machinery. Is
that any fault Of yours? If the mills
had spent some of their dividends for
modern machinery. the agents would
not give the excuse now and tell you
that the southern mills are pushing the
mills to the wall.
Rev. Father McGrady, of Belleview,
KY, said that the laboring people who
are producing the wealth ought to
snare literally in its eturns. He urged
all to join the union. He said that
labor was not created for making mil
llonaireS of the mill agents.
