Herman Rosenthal had read the

He was fully aware that such an act

doors for thorough investigation of
the whole gambling situation and
arouse the enmity of the big and little

New Bedford Mills.
GREAT LABOR STRUGGLE ON
Leaders Threaten to Close Every Fac
tory in City-Demand Five Per
Cent. Increase in Pay, Aboi-
ton of Grading System.

New Bedford, Mass.-TWo thousand
strikers participated in a riot at the
Butler mill and it required fifty police
men to dispense the mob, who hurled
stones, sticks and pieces of granite at
them.
Patrolman Fernandez was slightly
injured when attacked by five OF the
rioters. Only one arrest was made.
The prisoner was rushed inside the
mill, the police fearing il an attempt
was made to take him to the police
station, three miles away, it would
precipitate serious disturbance.
The outbreak was the second of the
day In the morning 1000 strikers
gathered outside the Butler mill and
appealed to the strike-breakers not to
work.
During the afternoon the police
formed a Gordon around the Butler
mill, Only workers with cards were
permitted to pass through the police
lines. One man insisted upon enter
ing and struck Fernandez. The police
man attempted to arrest the man but
was surrounded by angry men and
women.
The police, with clubs drawn, charg-
ed the crowd and threatened to use
their revolvers.
Judge Milliken in the central police
court, sent two rioters to Jail. Sophia
O'Brien, who took part in the riot was
sentenced to one year. Antoine Cana
ra was also sentenced to year for
the same offense, melting to riot.
The strikers demand an increase of
five per cent. in pay for all operatives
getting $S a week or less, time and
half for overtime work and abolition
of the grading system. They also de-
mand the manufacturers provide ice
water in the mill during the hot wea-
ther.

HELD FOR ROSENTHAL MURDER.
Jack Rose, Becker's Friend Says
Schaaps Was in Auto,

New York.-The hunt for the muir
derers of Herman Rosenthal made
progress. Jack Rose, Lieut.. Becker's
friend, surrendered. William Shapiro,
part owner of the car Rose hired for
Rosenthals killers, admitted he had
been told when the car was engaged
that policemen had knowledge of what
his passengers We're going to do and
that nobody was in any danger.
Rose gave the district-attorney the
name of gambler, Jake Shhaaps,
who rode in the Libby-Shapiro car
with him and Itzke and Shapiro. Rose
was locked up on charges of compli-
city in Rosenthal's death.
Mayor Gaynor not satisfied with
he explanation that Rosenthal was
slain in a gamblers feud, has begun
IN investigation to determine what DO
icemen might have had an interest in
Rosenthals murder.
