THE LAWRENCE STRIKE
Another Clash Yesterday and More
Trouble is Likely.

Lawrence. Mass, Jan 1S.-A clash
between parading strikers and
militiamen, the first real conflict
since the citizen soldiers were called
on Monday to control the rioting In
the mill district was one Of several
Developments yesterday Of the tex
| tile strike in which $1,000 mill oper'
atives are concerned. On the heels
of this disturbance came the an
nouncement from Col. T. Leroy
Sweetser. commanding the militia
that he had taken hand in the Ell
forts to arrange to settlement OF the
whole trouble. Col. Sweetser had q
conference last evening at the state
armory with Joseph j. Ettor the New
| York leader of the strikers. EttoI
refused to discuss the nature of this
conference, but col Sweetser at It's
conclusion said that he had made
suggestion to Ettor for arranging q
definite means of settling the exist
ing dispute and thereby ending the
strike, temporarily at least The de
tails of the plan Col. Sweetser would
not divulge, but he communicated
with Gov. Foss by telephone, and
later said he had arranged a further
meeting with Ettor. Col Sweetser's
Intervention as a mediator was en-
tirely unexpected.
Investigation by federal officials OF
certain elements of the situation SUI
rounding the strike was begun yes
terday with the arrival of f. G. Cor
don of Haverhill, an immigration in
spector. who was sent to Lawrence
under orders from the immigration
department at Washington. IL Is un
derstood the department has receiy
ed reports of alleged illegalities In
the importation of large numbers Of
alien help for the Lawrence mills.
Another unexpected development
was the strike yesterday of between
300 and 400 additional employees OF
the Arlington mills, among whom are
a large number OF members OF unions
connected with the united textile
workers OF America. This organiza
ton, of which John Golden OF Fal
River is the head, is a rival Of the
industrial workers OF the world, the
organization which has assumed di
rection of the strike generally II
Lawrence. Mr.. Golden, who was II
the city Tuesday, was quoted as de
claring himself in opposition to the
strike.
More operatives than on any da!
this week worked yesterday at thu
mills. all of which, with two excep
tons, we're opened. The two mills
which remained closed, were the Ey
erett and the Lawrence duck mills
It was said last night that the latte
will reopen this morning.
Meanwhile, in expectation OF anoth
er parade of strikers today, police
and military preparations to proven
the paraders from entering the mil
district we're carefully planned las
night. At a mass-meeting yesterda.
prior to the clash with the militia
the strikers voted to have the demon
stration and parade today include al
the $1,000 on strike. Yesterdays pa
rade was made up of about 5000 per
sons.

The Wilson He Now Renew His Application for Carnegie
PHELPS MUST DIE
Monroe Bridge Murderers Last Hope
Is Gone.

Boston, Jan l7.-Silas N. Phelps
last hope for escaping the electric
chair vanished this afternoon with
the giving out of the following Off
cial statement from the executive de.
partment: After an informal dis
cusslon in the council in regard to
the Phelps case the governor decid-
ed not to formally present the case
to them again" Phelps respite OF 10
days will expire Saturday night and
he will die some time during next
week.
1t looked like that before the coun-
Gil met. One who Is very close to
the inside situation said before the
meeting began that 1t was not prob
able that there would be anything
done After the nominations had
been given out the governor took up
the matter informally, and it was
brought out from inside, as a rumor,
that he was talking over the matter
in order to learn how they felt, and
that If he found that they were
against Communication of the sentence
he would not put the petition for
Communication before them formally.
This proved to be the correct fore
cast of the situation, as shown by
the official statement. They agreed
among themselves that they would
not say anything for publication 9th
er than the brief statement given out
above.
When Councillor John Quinn came
out after having been sworn in as
sheriff of Suffolk county and shaken
hands with his late fellow councillors
bidding them good-by, he said that il
would not do to present the case to
the public from different angles, as il
would be If each man gave out his
own story, and so they agreed among
themselves that they would say moth
ing but the brief word which the gov
ernor would give out officially. Sc
that ends the Official presentation Of
the case and there will be no more
Phelps news from the state-house. as
far as can be foreseen. 1t is said
that there has been no one here TO
day in regard to the matter, and that
the only facts relating to the case
at the state-house today are those
mentioned above.
The councils attitude on the death
penalty is regarded as having an un
favorable bearing on any similar pc
tition from Rev. Clarence V. T. Richie
son, also under sentence Of death
Phelps was sentenced to die during
the week beginning December 81
and the 15-days' respite, according
to the opinion of the encouragement
will expire at midnight on Saturday
The electrocution will probably take
place either Monday or Tuesday
very early in the morning.
