TWO LEADERS in JAIL.
The Strike Situation at Lawrence Is
Quieter Than Usual.

Lawrence, Jan. 31.-The arrest of
J. J. Ettor, leader of the strikers, and
his principal assistant, Arturo Clio
vanniti, editor of New York Social
ist paper, during the night on a
charge of being accessories in the
murder of Anna LOpezzO, an Italian
woman shot Monday night, apparently
had little effect in the strike situation
early today.
Colonel Sweetser. in command Of
the military forces, announced today
that he would not allow the strikers
to prade in connection with the fun
eral of Anna LopezzO. Yesterday, at
the request of Strike Leader Ettor,
Colonel Sweetser gave permission to
parade. but since the arrest of two
of the principal leaders in the strike
he decided that the best policy would
be not to allow any great body of
strikers to congregate.
John Mullen, a Haverhi1 labor
man, conferred with Ettor in the lat
ter's cell in the police station for half
an hour early today and afterwards
stated that Ettor desired the strik-
ers to make no demonstration because
attempt to parade at the funeral of
Anna Lopozzo. Through the night
the police station was guarded by a
company of infantry to prevent a pos
sible attack, rumOrs Of which fol-
lowed EttOr'S arrest. Police and mi
Htiamen also were stationed inside the
building.
Both Ettor and Giovannotti pleaded
not guilty to charges of being acces-
sories to murder when given hearings
in the police court today.
