TAFT'S WARNING WILL
 HELP PRESIDENT GOMEZ
His Position in Cuba Strengthened by
 Intervention Threat.

Washington, Jan. r. - President Gomezs position will be made much more secure by the warning issued yesterday by the state department, in the opinion of the officials here. It is held that the threat of intervention will go far towards relieving the Gu ban president of his apprehension that this government is about to begin an- other period of occupation.
 For some time past President Gomez has been contemplating dealing forci- bly and sternly with an element in Cuba which seemed determined to force its will upon the executive and congress in defiance of law and the constitution. To undertake to bring these people to terms by force, in volving the arrest and perhaps the death of some of them, might be re- garded by the United States as an evi- dence of a revolutionary outbreak which would compel armed tnterven- tion By yesterdays demand upon Gomez to carry out the constitutional guarantees the United States govern ment has virtually assented in advance to any drastic measures President Gomez may feel called upon to take.
 Although still confident that there will be no occasion for military inter vention in Cuba, the general staff is laying it's plans whereby an adequate force of troops could be placed in the principal Cuban ports in a fortnight at the outside.

RENEWAL OF VIOLENCE YESTERDAY
Soldiers Pelted With Missiles When They Barred Way of Strikers to the Mill Distrct-Col Sweetser Assumes Role of Mediator End Strike-Rival Labor Organi= zatons in Open Conflict-Joh Golden Snubbed.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 17.-A clash between parading strikers and militia men-the first real conflict since the citizen soldiers were called upon Mon day to control the rioting in the mill district, was one of several develop ments today of the textile strike in which 15,000 mill operatives are con oerned. On the heels of this disturb Rnce came the announcement from Col. E. Leroy SWeetser, commanding tho militia, that he had taken 8 hand in the efforts to arrange 8 settlement of the whole trouble,
 Col. Sweetser Cenfers with Etter
 Colonel Sweetser had a conference this evening at the state armory with Joseph J. Ettor, the New York leader of the strikers. Ettor refused to dis cuss the nature of this conference, but Colonel Sweetser at its conclusion said that he had made 8 suggestion to Ettor for arranging definite means of settling the existing dispute, and thereby ending the strike, temporarily at least. The details of the plan Col onel Sweetser would not divulge, but he communicated with Governor Foss by telephone and later said he had ar- ranged a further meeting with Ettor.
  mediator was entirely unexpected.
 A Federal Investigation.
 Investigation by federal officials of certain clements of the situation sur rounding the strike was begun today with the arrival of F. G. R. Gordon of Haverhlll, an immigration inspector, who was sent here under orders from the immigration department at Wash lnEton. It is understood that the de- partment has received reports of al legged illegalities in the importation of large numbers of alien help for the local mills.
 Golden Opposed to Strike.
 Another unexpected development was the strike today of between 300 and 400 additional employees of the Arlington mills, among whom are a large number of members of unions connected with the United Textile Workers of America. This organiEa- tion, of which John Golden of Fall River, is the head, is rival of the Industrial Workers of the World, the organization which has assumed di- rection of the strike generally in this city, Mir. Golden. who was in the city yesterday, was quoted as declar- ing himself in opposition to the strike.
 Number of Workers Increases.
 More operatives than on any day this week worked today at the mills, all of which, with two exceptions, were op6ned. The two mills which TO- rnained closed were the Everett and the Lawrence Duck mills. It is said tonight that the latter will reopen to- morrow morning.

Statement of Clergyman Challenged by
 Police Chief.

Meriden, Conn, Jan. 17-rotics Chief Charles B. Bowen said today that it was his duty to challenge Rev. Charles K Woodson, pastor of the Trinity Methodist church, to furnish the evidence to bear out the pubic statement made by the latter before the w. c. T, U. Tuesday afternoon when he said; T have been in Mezaden a year now (pretty shert time. isn't it2) and during that time I have learn ed of some of the wickedest girls, morally that l have ever come scroHs, and I can cite instances"
 Chief Bowen said: That statement is unqualIfedly false, and has not an echo of truth. I challenge him to fUr- nish the names of such girls. I chal- lenge him to furnish the addreSSs8 of any houses of i'll fame within the Dor- ders of the town of Meriden. It is generally acknowledged that Meridsr stands alone In this respect. There in absolutely no soliciting on our streets and the police department take pride in saying that a woman or girl can walk on any avenue or street in Msri- den any time, day or night without fear of molestation. In my opinion the reformers, the ministers assoclstiSn. so-calied, have very little work tp do in this city. More particularly along the lines of reformation mentioned"

, the mill district were carefully plan ned tonight. At a mass meeting today prior to the clash with the militia, the strikers voted to have the demon stratioE and parade tomorrow include all the 15,000 on strike. Today's pa rade was made up of about 5000 per sons, when a mob who had paradeG through the city was subdued only by the vigorous use of clubs and swords by members of Battery c. Light ar tillery of Lawrence, when the strikers entered the mill district, within which zone martial law has been declared Lieutenant Buckley had thrown a line of militiamen across Canal street, op- shire, to defect the crowd,
 Threw Missiles at Soldiers.
 The strikers offered resistance by pushing and use of fists and some managed to penetrate the line of sol- diers, despite the blows given by the militianen's clubs and the officers swords which rained upon them. The larger part of the crowd was driven back and the combat ceased for a moment After being forced up Hampshire street, the strikers began to lombard the soldiers with ice, bricks and tin cans, several of the mil- itiamen being hit. None suffered seri- ous wounds. Many of the strikers sus- tained injuries to heads and bodies by clubs and swords and two had their faces Eadly cut in the same manner. Several children were trampled upon in the melee.
 Attempted to Cross Bridge.
 The strikers were finally allowed to go up Canal street and when they reached the Lawrence Duck mill bridge, half a mile away, they made an attempt to cross. The Wood. Ay- or and Lawrence duck mills are at the other end of the bridge and appar- ently were the objects of attack by the crowd. Company k, Sixth regi- ment, of Lowell, in command of First Lieut.. John P. Davis, was in charge at this point and the officer ordered the strikers to continue on down Ca- nal street without crossing the bridge.
 Used Flag as Passport.
 An interesting episode occurred here One of the strikers who was carrying big American flag, held it up ard cried out; "This is the Amer ican flag! It can go anywhere"
 Soldiers Salute the Flag.
 In a moment Lieutenant Davis had ordered his men to salute the flag and the militiamen had drawn up and pre- scented arms before the nations em- blem. when the strikers apparently attempted to take advantage of their position and rushed forward as if to cross the bridge. In another moment, Lieutenant Davis had ordered the men to charge bayonets, and the flag was trailed in the snow by the Italians, who had stampeded when the strikers were forced to retreat before the brist- ling steel. No trouble developed be- yond this point, the crowd ultimately dispersing.
