STRIKE LOSS IS S1,OOO,0OO
Workers Bear Chief Burden OF
Lawrence Revolt.
MILLS MOSTLY PROTECTED
Moving Picture Shows Thrive
Though Depression Reigns-
Delay in Peace Move.

Lawrence. Mass, Feb 1l.-To-daS'
which marked the beginning of another
month in the struggle Of more than
twenty thousand mill operatives 10
secure increased wages by a strike III
every mill in the city, was day OF gem
eral activity. The Central Labor union
officials busted themselves in drawing up
the demands to be made of the agents OF
each mill, but were unable to get them
into shane TO be presented tomorrow as
was hoped. The Industrial Workers OF
the World leaders spoke at number OF
meetings during the day, urging soil
darity among the strikers and making
arrangements for resumption OF pick
citing tomorrow morning.
II ia estimated that the financial loss
due to the strike already approaches the
81 100000 mark. The major portion OF
this has fallen upon the strikers whose
;dleness has cost them SIjO,OoO IN
wages Most of the mills are said to
have protected themselves against great
financial loss by having their work per-
formed at factories owned by the same
companies elsewhere, or on a sub-con-
tract bv which they receive a share OF
the profits.
Next to the loss Of wages by the
strikers. the expense Of the armed guard
of 1.jO0 militiamen has been nearly
100000 TO date, or about $4,000 day,
and Adjutant General Gardner W. Pear
son has been forced to petition the state
Legislature for an additional appropria-
ton for his department. While the
State of Massachusetts will shoulder
most Of this burden, the city OF Law
renee, which for some time has been
laboring with financial stringency' VIII
be forced to pay a share. The city also
bears in full the expense Of additional
policemen, numbering several hundred
An estimate in figures of the extent 10
which business has suffered because of
the strike is impossible. Practically all
lines Of trade in the city have expert
enced the adverse effects Of the strike,
and trade in several lines is paralyzed.
In the midst Of all this business depres-
sion. however, the moving picture shows
