LABOR OUTRAGED, HE SAYS
Observer Declares Little Falls
Approaches Japan.

Paul Kennaday who has been observ-
Ing the strike in Little Falls on his own
hook and not for the New York Associa-
tion for Labor Legislation. of which he is
secretary, returned to New York yester-
day. with the remark that conditions
there approached what he had seen in
Japan.
In Japan," sad he, the government re-
presses all labor organizations. The
workers are not permitted to get together
and talk of hours Of labor on wages. That
is contrary to law. In Little Falls, where
there is no such law, the same repression
is attempted
The workers there are forbidden TO
gather. There are no public halls open
TO them The city common in the mill
district, which has been used for public
meetings since the town was established
is closed To them. The Slavic Society
has a little hall. which it has put at the
disposal of the strikers, but those who
try to speak there are liable to arrest.
The outrageous arrests and assaults
on strikers which have been daily &C.
currences. are all made by the sixty or
eighty policemen imported from Albany
and Boston. They are paid big wages,
and they try to earn them by bullying
the strikers. They maintain, too. con-
slant espionage on every stranger"
John A. Fitch. writer for The Sur
vey.' who made an investigation OF Little
Falls conditions with Mr.. kennaday, has
written a letter to John Williams, state
Commissioner Of Labor. demanding that
he use his authority to lay bare the cir
