Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 29.-Serious
rioting occurred today when a crowd
of strikers attempted to prevent ope-
ratlves from entering the various tex
tile mills to resume work. In many
cases the strikers were success sful and
the mills that reopened were able to
scale. Several persons were serious
ly injured during the trouble.
The rioters held up some twenty
or more electric cars headed in the
direction of the mills, forced the pas
sengers to leave the cars and then as
saulted them in the belief that tney
were strikebreaakers. Bottles and
Jumps of ice were thrown through
the car windows,
Rioting began an hour before the
time for the opening of the mill gates.
The mob was composed mostly of for
eigners and many were women who
chsered the men on to violence. The
police were powerless. Entrance to the
mill district by the marchers was pre-
vented by the militia.
Several arrests were made during
the forenoon. Tarus Parnagian, an
Armenian, was taken to the police
station charged with assaulting City
Marshal O'Sullivan. Other arrests
were on charges of intimidation, riot
ing or carrying dangerous weapons.

counsel for the United States Steel
corporation, clashed today before the
stanley committee over a line of iII-
quiry into the corporations labor pol
icy. Mr.. Reed contended the COM
mittee had no authority to investi-
gate the labor question. Chairman
Stanley overruled him.
Mr.. Brandeis challenged Judge
Gary's recent statement hat the cor
poration's treatment of employees COM
pared favorably iWth that of any other
and introduced portions of the report
upon the steel industry recently made
by Commissioner Neill of the bureau
of labor. He criticised the length of
hours of workmen.
The percentage of men who under
go aardships is unusually large" said
Mr.. Brandeis. Judge Gary's COM
ment on criticisms of the corporations 8
policy shows to me the utter inability
Of large corporations to regard nu-
man life"

Mr.. Brandeis declared that the
steel industry in England has elimi-
mated entirely all these Objectionable
features"
You don't mean England has been
able to do anything for labor that we
can't do in this country" Chairman
Stanley demanded.
"You must be mistaken"

mistaken" returned Mr.. Brandeis, say
ing that the working week Of an Eng

that AZ per cent of the workers in
this country averaged To-"
"Mr. Carnegie has said the steel
business was a case of feast or fam
inc, prince or pauper, in the early
day. Today with the steel corporation
it Is a case of prince and pauperizing"
said Mr.. Brandeis.
He charged that the steel workers
were worse than slaves.
"The slave owners were human"
he said, "and slaves came into per-
sonel conta0t with their owners. On
the other hand, the owners Of this
steel corporation are in the position
exactly similar to the absentee land
lords in Ireland, and through their
stock distribution scheme to en-
ployes have brought about condi-
ton exactly comparable to the ap-
palling rent conditions in Ireland"

MUST REGISTER
TODAY To VOTE
F OR ORDINARY
BOOKS FOR SPECIAL ELECTION
ON FEBRUARY IA CLOSE
THIS AFTERNOON.
Attorney General Renders an Opinion
in Connection With Local Election.
Those Registered for 1911 Elections
Must Again Quality.

This is the last day that you have
to register in order to participate in
the special election to be held on Feb
ruary IA, at which, an ordinary will
be elected to succeed the late Judge
Horace Dart, and for which there are
three candidates in the field.
This is the information received by
Clerk du Bignon of the superior court,
acting ordinary, in a letter yesterday
from Attorney General T. B. Fielder
1t will be remembered that as soon
as Clerk du Bignon ordered the cleo
tion he wrote to the attorney gen
eral, in regards to those who are
qualified to vote. The clerk was
puzzled over the question of the pay
ment of 1911 taxes, not knowing
whether it was required that the taxes
should have to be paid six months
previous to the date of the election
On this question the attorney general
replied as follows:
Atlanta, Jan. 27, 1912.
Mr.. H. F. du Bignon,
Clerk Superior Court,
Brunswick, Ga.
My dear sir: Replying to your let
ter of the 26th inst. The act, approved
August 10, 1911, Georgia Laws page
1877, controls as to the registration and
qualification of voters for the special
election which you have called.
You ask would the voters in this
election have had to pay 1911 taxes
Prior to the close of books on De-
cemDer 10, 1911, or are they allowed
to pay taxes aud register within the
five days allowed after the call for
said special election The voter
should be allowed to pay the 1911
taxes and register within the five
days. 1t is not necessary thai he
should have paid them prior to De-
cember 10, 1911.
do not think that you will int ans
confusion in tie act, above referred
to controlling special elections, as to
who will be entitled to vote in the
election which you have called or in
asce-taining the duties of the officers
in registering and making up the vot-
ers' lists. If there is any part Of the
act which 1 can help you with, that is
not clear to you, 1 would be very
glad to write you further upon re-
quest. Very truly,
T. S. FIELDER,
Attorney General.
The Brunswick news., 1912-01-30

In reference tc the five days limi-
tation after the election call is IS
sued. it simply means that from the
date of the call voters of the county
have five days in which to register,
and, as the election was called last
Friday, the time expires today.
Many voters seem to be under the
impression that if they were qualified
to vote in the special state election,
held in December, that they are elig-
ible to participate in the special or
binary election, but such is not the
case. 1t is necessary that you regis
ter this year In other words if you
have registered this year then you
can vote, if not, and you do not do
so before Collector Read leaves his
office this afternoon, then you will not
have a vote in the election on Febru-
ary IA. However, if you do qualify,
It will not be necessary for you to
register again this year and You will
be eligible to participate in all of the
state and county primaries ana eAec-
tions. and there are to be many OF
them.
The fact that only one day remains
in which to qualify, and the furtmer
fact that the voters did not know
that they had such a short time, will
unquestionably cause very small
registration for the special election.
