Hodge Would Abolish the Militia;
Lawrence Atrocities Sustain Him

Sheriff Bob Hodge, progressive
candidate for governor, regards
the brutal assaults by militiamen
on the wives and children of the
striking textile workers at Law
renee, Mass, Saturday, as the
strongest possible argument for
the abolition of the state militia.
1.-THE maintenance of these or
CARNATIONS of amateur soldiers"
said Hodge today, sis a heavy bur-
den on the public, and what does
the public ever get from the
militia in return for it's money?
When was the militia aver used
except to protect special interests
and crush the masses?
Terrible as must have been the
scene at the railroad depot at
Lawrence, the crime may yet re-
suit in good IL it will bring home
to the people of the country a
realization of the way the state
militia organizations are being
prostituted so that they have be-
come weapons of oppression.
1.-THE wives of the strikers at
Lawrence feared for the safety of
their children, so they tried to
send them out of the strike area,
an action dictated by humanity
and mother-love. In going to the
depot and buying tickets for their
children to carry them out of the
city they were doing only what
they had a perfect right to do; it
was a freedom of action guaran-
teed by the constitution of the
United States.
"The soldiers, then, were the
1aw-breakers, when, led by a
United States marshal, they at
tackled those women and children,
held them until the train had
pulled out, and dubbed them I'M
til the platform was a CORY, bloody
shambles.
THE industrial history of
America is full of similar in
stances where the militia was
used as the instrument of greed
to Cypress labor. l think that the
Lawrence brutalities alone have
proved my case"
Hodge and his staff have sent
the following message of protest
to the governor of Massachusetts:
Eugene N. Foss, governor of
Massachusetts,, Boston: Actions
OF police and militia at Lawrence
most emphatically denounced at
meeting of public officials here,
and we, believing 1t your duty, do
earnestly request in the name, of
humanity that you put a stop to
such cowardly, ~dastardly, I'M
American acts"
