STRIKE RIOTERS
CLOSE BIG MILLS
thousands of Operatives Battle
With Police at Lawrence.
FIFTY-FOUR HOUR LAW CAUSE
State Cut Their Wages-Hundreds OF
Foreigners Strike for Same Pay
That They Got for Weeks Work
That Was Two Hours Longer.

Lawrence, Mass-The new 54-hour
hour law enacted by the last Legisla-
ture at the instance of the labor un-
ions prohibiting the employment OF
women and children in the mills and
factories of Massachusetts for more
than 54 hours in a week, was the
cause of a wild outbreak In this city
A riot call was sounded, women
were knocked down and trampled
upon, heads were dubbed, much dam
age was done 10 machinery, five per-
sons were arrested for melting to riot
and 10000 operatives left their work
either from inclination or by compul-
sion.
The mill district Of this city resem-
bled an armed camp, following the
riotous outbreak.
Before the trouble ended several
persons had been severely injured, a
number Of girl operatives had tainted
and six arrests had been made. The
mill agents found that 80 many opera
tives had quit work through fear oil
the angry strikers that II was decided
to shut down the Wood and Ayei
mills. The Washington mills and
those of the Lawrence Duck Company
to which the disturbance extended,
were kept ia operation, although 800
operatives at the Washington mills
and 400 at the duck mills struck. AS
the Wood mill, the largest worsted
plant in the world, employs 5000
hands and the Aver mill $500. nearly
IL 900 opratives became idle.
In the Washington mills there was
an indiscriminate hurling of bobbins
and snuttles. Della Clark. an opera
tive, was badly cut by shuttle and
Overseers John Blodgett and Thomas
Begin were hit on the head and seri-
ously cut
Considerable damage was done to
mill property. In the Aver mills the
mob broke down an iron gate. Inside
the Wood mills the rioters cut many
pulleys, opened the sprlnklers and did
other damage to the machinery.
Practically all the windows on one
side Of the Lawrence Duck Company s
mills were smashed by bricks and
humps of ice hurled by the mob, which
made it's last stand there Although
they had threatened to march on the
big cotton mills OF the Pacific Cor
poration, the malcontents were dis
persed by the police before reaching
that point.
Five hundred weavers and spinners
in the Everett and Arlington cotton
mills Joined the strikers in the after
noon, and the feeling was general
that the strike would involve $4,000
mill workers in the city.
Squads of police are patrolling the
streets, and to aid in detecting and
preventing any attempt to damage
mill property during the night huge
searchlight on the roof Of the Wash
ington mill has been called into ser
vice
The police force fought handto-
hand with strikers for three hours
The rioters carried Italian and Ameri.

TAFT CALLS
ON HITCHCOCK
Control of Telegraph Not Admin
istratiOn Measure.
HE MUST EXPLAIN BREAK
master General Amlable-Sug-
sestion Hitchcock May
Retire.

Washington, ID. C.-President Taft
had a plain talk with Postmaster-Gen-
eral Hitchcock. 1t had to do with the
latter sudden pronouncement for
government ownership OF telegraph
lines. There was much wonderment,
not TO say displeasure, at the White
House over this pronouncement. One
of the first things the President did
was to send for Mr.. Hitchcock and
inquire about the situation.
Later and some time after the post
master-general had departed an Off
cial statement was issued in the Presi-
dents behalf. This showed that gov
ernment ownership of telegraph lines
is not yet an administration measure.
IL was suggested in last years annual
report by Mr. hitchcock to the Pres
ident, but not approved, and has been
in allegiance since then, as far as the
President is concerned There was
nothing in the statement TO indicate
that a break in the cabinet was at
hand, although Washington has been
expecting such an outcome. The i'm
preston conveyed at the White House
On the contrary, was that relations be-
;ween the President and Mr.. Hitch
took were still of an amiable char
Acter.
Naturally the President would con-
vey no other impression Tor the pres.
ent, but, while many baseless reports
Of Mr.. Hitchcocks retirement from
tn cabinet have been circulated dur
Ing the last two years, it is none the
less true now that the status between
hi'l and the President is none too
friendly. The episode Of the govern
ment ownership of telegraph lines
comes as a climax to other things. 1t
was hardly a week ago that the post
master-general was called to the
White. House Offices for a very frank
discussion about his political rela-
tions with the administration and his
loyalty to the President as regards a
denomination.
Some of the Presidents closest
friends including certain ones from
Massachusetts, had been repeating to
him the stories that Mr. Hitchcock
was not rebuffing southern Republi-
cans who came here on errands in be-
half of ex-Presdent Roosevelt's NOM
ination. Whether these reports have
been unjust to Mr.. Hitchcock or not,
they have been reiterated and in some
quarters have been credited.

What He Remembered.

When a prospective voter in one Of
Chicago's election districts was asked
the date of his naturalization he re-
piled that he had taken out his pa
pers so long before that he could not
remember just when he had become
an American.
The officer to whom this statement
was made was extremely thoughtful
for a moment. Then he added:
Can you remember who was the
Republican candidate for president
that year?
Sure, don't remember who was
running for prisidint," was the re-
sponse, but IL was the same year
that Stuffy McGinnis was appointed
Dog Drownder."

In France much attention Is given

In some districts Of Pennsylvania
much attention is now given TO the
planting Of chestnut trees. There are
several hill counties in Indiana, like
Brown, Monroe and Morgan. where
the marron and the smaller sized
chestnuts could be made a source Of
profit.

TO PREVENT FIRES IN NEW YORK

A bureau OF fire prevention has Just
been organized In New York city un-
der the new state law enacted as
result OF the great Asch building hre
and similar disasters. Nearly 600
inspectors will be employed by the bu-
reau, whose officers and men are
drawn from the fire department. The
force will inspect buildings and Will
work in cooperation with the bureau
of fire extinguishment. Large powers
are given to the new bureau; IT will
have control OF fire-escapes and hre-
exits, cellars. dumbwaiter shafts,
auxiliary fire appliances and every
thing designed to protect human life
from fire, says the Chicago Record
Herald. A landlord who refuses TO
comply with the order OF the bureau
will be required to close his building
until the changes thought necessary
by the bureau have been made. The
example OF New York In this respect
ought to be followed In many sthtes'
Illinois has made a start through the
authorization by the legislature OF
commission to codify the building
laws and report recommendations for
fire protection after examination OF
the laws OF other states. This CON-
mission is not required to report be
fore January l, 1918: meantime local
fire-prevention ordinances should be
rigidly enforced
