Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 2S.-Fol
! lowing the nationwide outburJt o
protest against the brutal handling
by Lawrence and State police, ant
national guardsmen of the men ant
women strikers, the authorities here
today changed their tactics. Onl!
one Outburst marked the early hour:
OF today, and that was when TrooI

members are Harvard men, charged
crowd of men and women pickeIs
who had taken positions along Es

previous experiences. fed helter-skel
ter 10 the Common and the militia
and police did not chase them far
although one woman was felled by
a 3oliceman's club, and another was
arrested.
Special Agent Gannenberg OF the
Department of Justice. sent here by
the direct order OF Attorney General
Wickrsham. made careful inrestiga'
ton today OF the situation. What
connection there was between his
presence and the changed tactics OF
the authorities was a question. but
there was no doubt that some one or.
dered the police and guardsmen TO
stop using force in dealing with the
strikers.
Strike headquarters announced
today that between 30 and $50 chill
dren will be included in the delega-
ton Of strikers that will journey to
Washington to lay their troubles be-
fore the Rifles Committee Of the

strike excepting TO my superiors, he
said.
Washington. Feb. 2S.-The Fed
eral Bureau of Labor ordered an ex-
pert investigator TO proceed at once
to Lawrence, Mass, TO report on the
condition of the strikers there. This
action was taken after a conference
between Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Nagel. and Labor Commission
or Charles p. Neill.
They decided that the authorize
ton for such an investigation. as
contained in the Poin dexter resolu-
ton, was unnecessary. and that the
Bureau had power 10 probe the mat

Washington, Feb. 2S.-That the
Department of Justices inXestiga-

will be much in the line OF possible
prosecutions under the Sherman anti

ties in forcibly preventing their de-
narture may II is believed. thus cOr-
stitute offense against the Sherman
