SOCIALIST EDITOR SPEAKS
 BEFORE I. w. w. MEETING
Further Work in Organization Push cd-Report That Polish Speaker Was Warned Not to Appear.

At the same time the Textile Work CTS mass meeting was being held in the town hall another mass meeting was being held Sunday afternoon in LOomer opera house under the aus pices of the Industrial Workers of the World. Boys paraded the streets with piacard banners announcing the meeting. There were between five and six hundred in attendance.
 The principal speakers were Miss Elizabeth c. Flynn and Benjamin J. Legere of Bridgeport. editor of the Industrial Socialist. The meeting was not as enthusiastic as the ones re- gently held under the auspices of the Industrial Workers of the World in this city and the Polish speaker who made such intolerable remarks at the last meeting was not present It was reported that he was unable to come because of another engagement, but 1t is understood that he was warned against re-appearing in the Thread city The meeting was an orderly one and the speakers confined them selves to the matter of organization that was instituted here Wednesday evening. Initiation fees were collected. The money was not so easily passed over as on Wednesday evening, which lis taken as an indication that the Industrial Workers of the World have lost ground here within the past few days.

POLISH PEOPLE RESENT
 WARNING BY PRIEST.
Twenty five Men Leave Church When Father Mooney Speaks Against the |. ", w,


 Willmantic is beginning to see the evils o4 labor agitators. especially since the settlement of the two recent strikes and the one contemplated, as the city has been oNerrun with various agl- tators. organizers and representatives of the two warning factions in the in duSTial world today-the American Federation of Labor and the Industrial Workers of the World.
 Tho thinking people of the com munity, tAose having the welfare of the city and its residents at heart, are up in arms against the Industrial Workers of the World, and already steps for restraining them in their acts are be Ing taken. Sunday at the o'clock mass at St. Joseph's church that is usually attended by quite q number of Polish people, Rev Philip J. Mooney delivered sermon that was in strong opposition to the principles of the h.
 dustrial Workers of the World, and he N3lned the mem Ders of the cOngTe- gation against becoming too closely allied with the organization which is
 doing so much to tTdmple down Ameri-
 can iOeais and government itself The
 remarks were not at all pleasing to
 some of the Polish people present, and
 about % men of that nationality got
 up and left the church during the ser
 mon.
 A number of heated arguments arose and one or two fights were near ly, caused between some of the differ eat nationaities present The feeling . toward Rev. Father Mooney was so strong in some quarters Saturday that l he was driven from a house inhabited by Poles with broom in the hands
 of 9 Polish woman. Il is understood that Father Mooney had gone to the house 10 make a pastoral call His work in the parish is confined largely | to the Polish members of the congre- | gation. The best citizens of the city are behind Father Mooney in the stand he has taken -o endeayor to keep the Industrial Workers of the ! World from obtaining a foothold in the ! city. The authorities are keeping a ! close watch upon the various labor 1 gatherings, to quell any violence that may possibly arise

FIRE AT PUTNAM.

Large Barn OWnSu Uy GeCi 9S Wuss
 Destroyed-Cisarette Smoking May
 Have Caused 1t.
 A fire that broke out shortly after one o'clock Sunday afternoon totally destroyed the large barn owned by George Moss on Woodstock avenue. The fire got such a big start that the efforts of the fire department to save the building were unaVailing. It was said Sunday evening that the fire may have been caused by boys who were smoking cigarettes under the barn. A. Lavine, an antique and junk dealer, had about $1, 900 worth of goods de- stroyed in the fire. His loss will be a total one. as he carried no insur- ance.
 The barn itself was not very valua- ble. being an old structure. Flying sparks set fire to the roofs of nine different buildings. but these were all extinguished before much dsmage was done.
 The barn of Dr. Omer Larue was considerably scorched.
