LOWELL STRIKE.
Continued from Page One.)

strike committee was organized, made
up of delegates from each of the doZ-
en- or more nationalties, to have
charge of affairs hereafter. William
Il. Trautmann, one of the leaders Of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
who was a prominent figure in the
Lawrence controversy, addressed sew
eral gatherings during the day as did
other organizers for the industrial
workers. and it is claimed many were
taken into the organization.
William ID. Haywood another of the
Lawrence leaders, is expected in Low
ell, tomorrow. The police said, tonight,
that the strikers will be allowed to
parade, hold mass meetings or do any
thing else as long as they keep within
the law and do not create a disturb
ance. A few reserve police officers
have been put on duty but as yet the
force has not been materially increas,
ed.
Only once during the day were the
police called upon to take part in the
situation. That was at the fremont
and Suffolk mills, where the agents
feared that plans were being made to
cut the warps and otherwise damage
property. A squad of police was sent
to the mills and succeeded in remov-
ing the disturbing element without the
necessity of making any arrests.
The six cotton mills, the gates of
which were closed. today, are the APP
pleton, Booth. Hamilton, Massachu-
sets, Merrimack and fremont and
