THE LAWRENCE STRIKE
Mill Owners Play one Card too Many
When they Hold the Children.

That assault upon American
working women at Lawrence
was upon every working man
woman and child in the United
States!
That assault was the Lexing-
ton OF the American social revo-
luton!
Working men and women OF the
United States arouse as If these
cruel blows had fallen upon youI
own heads and your own starv-
ing children had been torn from
you by the armed brutes let loose
BY the ruling masters!
-
But that was the straw tha I
broke the camels back. This
outrage upon helpless and limo.
cent children was more than ever
the capitalist press OF the coun.
try would stand for. From every
quarter came criticism and con-
demnation. Under the caption o
"The Lawrence Outrage" the st
Louis Star had this to say:
AT this distance and with the
little information given in the dis
patches 1t Is impossible to com.
prehend by what right the police
OF Lawrence prevented by force
the parents Of citizens sending
their children away from the ci
ty. 1t is incomprehensible be.
cause it seems to be such an out
rage upon individual liberty as II
ought to be impossible to commi'
in this country.
That these parents are striker.
makes no difference. They hav,
as much right to send their child
rem to Boston or elsewhere a
have the owners OF the mills
They are not Lawbreakers be
cause they are strikes.
The children are under no obi
cation to service or as to place o
residence. If their parents cal
not support them in Lawrence
but can send them where the,
can be cared for all the dictate
OF humanity require thai they b.
permitted to go. Surely the eX
lgencies OF maintaining order
which is all the authorities hav,
a right to consider do not reouir
such an invasion OF Fundamental
rights as this seems to be-"
