Lawrence Strike Is Set
tied at Six Mills,
And Outlook in Seven Others
Affected Is Hopeful.
Settlement Of Trouble Brings Gen.
eral Feeling Of Satisfaction.

Lawrence, Mass, March 1.-THE
strike at six of the textile mills in this
city is ended. 1t remains in effect at
seven mills in Lawrence and one in
the adjoining town of North Andover.
One mill which has kept it's employees
locked out since the strike started is
understood to be contemplating an
early re-opening at an increased wage
scale. At mass meeting on the
Common, this afternoon, the strikers,
who had assembled in thousands,
voted to declare off the strike at the
Washington, Wood, Aver and Prospect
mills Of The American 'Woolen Co,
the Atlantic Cotton Mills and the
Kunhardt Worsted Mills. Approx
mately 1000 operatives will return to
work at these plants, next Monday.
The mass meeting Which followed the
advice of the strike leaders in this
action, also accepted the recommended
ton of the strike committee that the
strike should be continued against the
Pacific cotton and worsted mills, the
Arlington cotton and WOrSted mills
the Pemberton mills, the Lawrence
duck mills, the UsWoco worsted MILL
the Farwell bleachery. the Internal
tional paper plant and the Brightwood
wooden mills of North Andover. 1t is
estimated that as a result of this ac-
ton about 5000 operatives will remain
on strike, not including the 1000 lock-
ed out by the Everett cotton mills.
The vote was taken after Strike

Rome, March IA youthful An
arehst, Antonio Dalba by name, who
asserts that he is a member of no or
ganization, attempted to asSassinate
King Victor Emmanuel, today. The
King was not injured, nor was Queen
Helena, who was driving in "A closed
carriage with him at the time. but an
officer of the Kings Guard, Major
Lang. WAS wounded in the head and
fell from his horse. Three shots were
fired at the King, who was on his
way to the Pantheon to attend a SER
vice commemorative of the birth Of
his father, the late King Humbert,
who died, in 1900, at the hands of an
assassin. AS the Kings carriage, es
corted by cuirassiers, was passing
along the Via Lata, a man pushed
through the line OF soldiers who
guarded the streets, and fired three
shots from "a revolver. one of the
bullets went wild, another struck one
of the horses and the third wounded
the officer in command of the escort.
The assassin pulled the trigger
fourth time, but the fourth cartridge
failed to explode.
King Victor Emmanuel remained
calm throughout, and devoted his at
tention to quoting the fears of the
Queen The carriage proceeded to the
Pantheon where the ceremonies We're
carried out with even more solemnity
than usual as though BETTING the
narrow escape of the King. Mean
while the Infatuated populace sprang
upon the Kings assailant and beat
him almost into insensibility. He was
rescued by the guardsmen and handed
over to the police.

sassinating the King as protest
against organized society. Victor En-

A Bit of Courtesy

Is there no such thing as courtesy
from the drivers of automobiles? The
roads are dusty and you chance to be
caught on the public highway. You
climb as far out on the roadside as
possible, round up your shoulders,
cover your eyes with your hands, and
await the inevitable.
There is no slowing UP of the ma
chine.
Not a bit of it,
It goes whirlng by, leaving you
completely enveloped in dust and
smell. Are owners of automobiles so
important? Wouldn't it be just the
least bit of courtesy to slow down the
machine, even drop a word of apollo
gy, and show that even though you do
own an automobile (supposing you
have paid for it in fulD you still have
a little of the milk of human kindness
about you. Why not try on little
bit of courtesy.
We were walking the highways long
before you came ripping and tearing
by.

brought about the adoption of a plat
form of principles satisfactory to most
Democrats, and labors that brought
about the nomination of Woodrow Will
son, and labors that placed his party
squarely in opposition to such forces
as rule Tammany Hall,-when he had
done all this he went back to his home
in Nebraska.
The description of his homecoming
makes a delightful page of history.

numbers, band met him at the sta

ing, all the state dignitaries were out
in force, and the morning was given

said there has been much violence In
the district and that only one boy had
been shot and killed as a result of this
lawlessness. He agreed to have the
case retired. pending Powell's good
behavior, as Miss Cam, the school
teacher, had agreed to look after the

we'll mark the return home of man
known and loved the world over.
1t was typical of the west
Maine couldn't 90 a thing like that.
That's why it is so refreshing and
delightful to read about.
We like it. 1t shows us that there
is something in the human breast that
is worth a whole lot of cultivation. We
wish we had evidence of more of it,
And Bryan's homecoming prompts
one to inquire why it should be of
such generous making.
That is easy to understand. At
least it is easy to anyone who has fol-
lowed the career of this great Ameri-
can citizen. OF all the prominent pub
lie men now living Mr.. Bryan stands
peerless. He is indeed the peerless
leader. His personal life seems to be
above reproach. He is at home on the
political platform, on the chatauqua
platform, or in the pulpit. Whatever
he says, no matter what political
views he may endorse, you are con-
scious always that he speaks the
truth as he alone can see it. He is
sincere. More than that. he is sweet
in his manly characteristics.
A story is illustrative of the purity
Of his mind
When visiting Maine a few years
ago he was banquetted at the Hotel
Gerald, Fairfield Il is said that in
the course Of the post prandial some
one told a story of very questionable
character. When Mr.. Bryan spoke he
referred to the story and said that in
all his career he had never been oblig
ed to enlist attention by resorting to
the story that left a taste in the
mouth. There were enough clean,
humorous stories without them.
The impression seemed to be gain
ing ground very generally that the
country has seen the last of Mr.. Bry-
an. Twice failing to be elected to the
high Office which he fairly sought and
fairly deserved his opponents and
friends seemed to feel that he would
sink out of sight and become back
number, at least in the political world
They probably thought he would get
ordained as a preacher and settle
down in some Nebraskan precinct for
the remainder of his life.
His activities at Baltimore are the
best reminders of his wonderfully en-
during influence. What he accom-
plished there is also the best test of
his real place in American life.
America has not seen the last of
William j. Bryan. If never honored
by the Office of the presidency he will
live greatly because he has within him
the worth OF character that endures
and grows strong.

The two went up to inspect the new

leads from the main corridor into the
Morgan private suite, and Mr.. Morgan
slammed 1t without noticing that there
was no knob on the inside.
When an inspection was completed
the two men found themselves locked
in. No telephones have as yet been
installed. Mr.. Morgan went to work
with his pocket knife to turn the
screws that hold the lock on the door.
When he had unloosened two Of the
screws he had broken all OF the blades.
Then the former ambassador to
France set to work and unloosened
the remaining screws with scarcely
less damage to his knife. They took
off the lock, drew the bolt and were
free.

Delights of Railroad Travelling

The delights of travelling over the
railroads of Maine has been splendidly
experienced the last few weeks. With
dusty roadbeds. and big funnelled To-
comotiyes, and dirty plush seats. and
or-slamming brakemen-truly it is
a joy to travel on the Maine railroads.
Despite the fact that the railroads
are paying big dividends, the question
of oiling the roadbeds and keeping the
cars cleaner is as far from consider
alton and accomplishment as it was
twenty-five years ago. No wonder
there are third parties and socialist
propaganda galore.
