SERIOUS RIOTS BEGIN
IN NEW ENGLAND STRIKE
Men and Women Strikers AS
SauIt Street Cars and In
iure Passengers

LAWRENCE. Mass, Jan. 2e.-Serious
riotIng occurred today when a crowd Of
strikers attempted to prevent operatives
from entering the various textile mills
to resume work In many cases the
strikers were successful and the mills
that reopened were able to oerate only on
a greatly reduced scale. Several per-
sons were seriously injured during the
trouble.
The rioters held up some 20 or more
electric cars headed in the direction of
the mills. forced the passengers to leave
the cars and then assaulted them in the
belief that they were strikebreakers.
Bottles and humps OF ice were thrown
through the car windows.
Rioting began an hour before the time
for the opening OF the mill gates. The
mob was composed mostly Of foreigners,
and many were women who cheered the
men on to violence. The police were pow
erlesS.
Entrance to the min district by the
marchers was prevented by the militia
stationed in streets bordering the mills.
Several arrests we're made during the
forenoon. Taras Parnagian, an Ar
menian. was taken to the police station
charged with assaulting City Marshal
O'Sullivan. other arrests was on
charges of intimidation, rfoting or car
rying concealed weapons.

FORT MCPHERSON WILL
BE MADE BRIGADE POST
Secretary of War ; Recon-
mends 1t for One of Eight
Great CenterS
- RArPK alETTR.

vVAsHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. 2s.--In 8
report to congress today Secretary of
War Stimson recommended the reten-
ton of Fort Mcpherson and Oglethorpe.
The latter is located in walker county.
Ga.
Secretary Stimson's report was re-
leased for publication last night. 1t
deals with the whole problem of army
mobilization.
Besides recommending the retention Of
the two Georgia forts, Secretary Slim
son declares that Atlanta is a point
which fulf1lls the conditions for concen-
tration of troops along the Atlantic sea-
board. Albany, N. Y, and Philadelphia
are the only two other points as well
adapted, and all three Of them are nee
essary, in the opinion Of Secretary Slim
son.
The secretary recommends only 8 Of
the 40 army posts so located as to per
NIT their retention as neucli, or ele-
ments Of strategic concentration
grounds"
With reference to the valuable lands
in the posts whose abandonment he
recommends, Secretary Stimson declares
that the government may sell the prop
erty at handsome profit, as improve
ments around 1t have enhanced its
value. @
The secretary of war has decided that
no less than 16, and probably Is, exist
ing army posts should at once be aban-
doned 'in order to put an end to the
extravaganza and ineflciency resulting
from improper distribution of the mobile
army"
The posts condemned are: Apache.
Ariz.; Boise Barracks, Idaho; Brady,
Mich; Clark. Tex; George Wright,
Washington; Jay, N. Y; Lincoln, N. D.;
Logan H. Roots, Arkansas; Mcintosh,
Texas; Mackenzie, Wyoming; Madison
N. Y; Ontario, N. Y; Wayne, Mich;
Whipple Barracks, Ariz.; William Henry
Harrison, Montana, and Yellowstone,
Wyoming.
II is set forth in the report that sue
ceeding secretaries of war have been
hampered In getting rid OF useless and
expensive posts by local and political In
fiuence It is declared that no less than
$sO,00o,0oo has been spent On such posts
so expended became an argument
against their abandonment.
Doubtless this argument will again
be used to prevent the concentration
desired by the present secretary. Of
war" the report continues, "and unless
approached in the spirit of the great
business corporation which ruthlessly
tears down a six-story but ding no
longer suited to its needs to erect a
2O-story building found nsGsGs airy, The
present movement for an efficient and
economically administered army will fail
as having preceding efforts"
This means that if Secretary of War
Stimson's recommendations are followed
by congress, Fort Mcpherson will not
only be retained in Atlanta, but will be
very materially enlarged, probably as
one of the largest brigade posts in
America.

STOLEN FROM MORGAN
Over 100000 of JeweIry

month OF January thieves have stolen
more than 100000 worth Of Jewelry IN

lists which are sent out to pawnshops
during the last days OF each month. A
notable section of the lists is devoted
to loot taken by burglars who entered

Thursday night and departed without
any one being the wiser until the next
morning.
The haul at the Morgan residence in

notes-including a $3.50 and several $50
notes-another containing American
money, papers, passes, etc, and third
containing French money--30 100-franc
bills and IS 2O-franc gold pieces.
Even more interesting is the an
nouncement that search is being made
for a gold pendant bearing the insignia
of the Order Of the Garter. The police
decline to state whether this is part of
the Morgan loot. The decoration is per-
haps the most notable of its kind in
England. The order is limited to %
knight companions with the sovereign,
the Prince Of Wales and few royal
dignitaries admitted by special statute.
On the death of a knight his insignia
must be returned to st. James palace.
Howevee since the year 134S. when the
order was founded, this condition has
not always been fulfilled. The collections
of J. p. MOI gan contain several of the
badges. 81

BRANDEIS CLASHES HARD
WITH STEEL LAWYERS
CritiCizeS "Utter Inability of
Large Corporations to Re-
gard Human Life"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Louis d.
Brandeis, of Boston, and d. A. Reed,
counsel for the United States Steel cor
ley committee over a line OF inquiry
into the corporations labor policy. Mr.
Reed contended the committee had no
authority to investigate the labor ques-
ton. Chairman Stanley overruled him.
Mr.. Brandeis challenged Judge Gary's
recent statement that the corporations
treatment OF employees compared favor
ably with that Of any other, and intro
duced portions of the report upon the
steel industry recently made by Commits
sioner Nell. OF the bureau of labor. He
criticised the length of hours of work.
men,
The percentage OF men who undergo
hardships is unusually large" Said Mr.
Brandeis- Judge Gary's comment on crit
icism Of the corporztion.s policy shows
10 me the utter inability of large cor
porations TO regard human life"
Mr.. Brandeis declared ''The steel inqui-
~ in England has eliminated entirely all
these Objectionable features
You don't mean England has been
6DAG 10 10 ally AOE Nu6L We
can't do In this country?' demanded
Chair lan Stanley. You must be mis-
taken"
Unfortunately in this case I am not
mistaken" returned Mr.. Brandeis. saying
that the working week of an English
steel worker was 55.2 hours, and that AZ
per cent OF the workers in this country
averaged y hours.
Mr.. Carnegie has said the steel busi-
ness was q case of feast or famine,
prince or pauper, IN the early days. To-
day with the steel corporation il is a
case OF prince and pauperizing," said
Mr.. Brandeis. He charged that the steel
workers were worse than slaves
THE slaveowners were human" he said
land slaves came into personal contact
with their owners. On the other hand
the owners Of this steel corporation are
in the position exactly similar to the
absentee landlords in Ireland and through
the stock distribution scheme to employees
have brought about condition exactly
comparable TO the appalling rent condi-
tons in Ireland.

PROGRESSIVE GOVERNORS
LINE UP FOR ROOSEVELT
Stubs, Bass, AIdriCh, HadIey,
GlaSScoCk and Osborne
All at Work

NEW York; 5an e.-Six Republican
governors are enrolled In q self-appoint-
ed committee to advocate the nomina-
ton of Colonel Rsevelt fr the presi-
dency, according to Gov. Walter r..
Stubs, of Kansas, who is now in New
York. The committee, unofficial but ac-
tive, includes besides Governor Stubs,
Governors Bass of New Hampshire, AID
rich of Nebraska, Hadley Of Missouri,
Glasscock of West Virginia, and Osborne
of Michigan-all rated as leaders OF the
progressive wing of the Republican par
ty in their respective states.
According to Governor Stubs, the six
governors are in constant communica-
ton by letters and kilograms. AS re-
suit he declared he was in a position
to gauge the strength OF the Roosevelt
movement accurately and he was very
optimistic.
Particularly in the south" he said,
Roosevelt sentiment is strong. A large
number of the southern leaders who
have in the past dominated the actions
of delegates chosen. from their repre-
sentative states are strongly in favor
OF the nomination of Roosevelt Penn
sylvania. New York and Ohio also show
strong Roosevelt sentiment.
Colonel Roosevelt does not want the
nomination. He has everything to lose
and nothing to gain by accepting it.
However, 1 feel that conditions will i'm
pose the nomination upon him."

TARIFF BILL Is READY
FOR PASSAGE IN HOUSE
Steel Schedule Taken Up
Where 1t Was Left
Saturday

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The house
today took up the iron and steel sched-
ule where 1t left off at midnight Sat-
urday, after Republicans had struggled
vainly for eleven hours to amend the
Democratic bill. Majority Leader I'm
derwood and Minority Leader Mann
had agreed that the bill should be
called up and placed upon its passage.
Democratic leaders expect some OF
the Republican progressives to vote for
the bill on the roll call.
The first amendment offered to the
bill was by Representative Longworth,
Republican, of Ohio, to eliminate ma
chine tools from the free list. 1t was
defeated, 1876 to ~.
Representative Palmer. Democrat. OF
Pennsylvania, said the bill, instead OF
reducing revenue it would increase it
by S1,207,S 99.
The Democrats defeated amendments
by Representative Fuller, of Illinois,
and Utter of Rhode Island, both Re
publicans, to put duty on sewing ma
chimes and printing presses. and by Rep
resentative Mann, of Illinois, to limit
the free lit to countries that impose
no restrictions upon American cotton
seed oil.
