mill, before the wheels had made
complete revolution, the various head
ers gave the signal and the strike was
on. Some violence attended the open
ing of the strike, and at the outset
public opinion was unfavorable to "the
foreigners" as they were called. The
mill owners fatty refused to treat in
any way with the strikers, declaring
that there was no strike. However,
within a week 10000 of Lawrences
$4,000 mill operatives were out, and
Joseph Ettor and Arturo Giovannitti
were sent from New York to take
charge. Ettor's fiery addresses before
huge mass meetings on the common
aroused the workers, and the 10000
grew to more than 10000 in few days.
Picket lines of from 5000 to 10000 men
and women every morning at and >
o'clock formed about the mills and
tramped back and forth in the snow
and slush to persuade non-strikers to
join common cause and fight for better
wages. 1t was then that city officials,
acting for the mill officialsH began the
tactics which ended in a congressional
investigation. following the clubbing
of women and the tearing of their
children from them while sending the
little ones to be cared for in other
cities to keep them from starving while
the strike was on.
In the meantime state troops Were
sent down to protect" property. The
soldiers had not been on the scene a
week before clashes between strik ers
and soldiers became frequent. A boy
John Rani, was stabbed in the back
Nrit how he
from a squad of militiamen whom he
and several other boys had been jeer-
ing.
Then came the riot between SOL
diers and strikers in the down town
section of the city on Monday, Janu-
airy 27. That morning a patrol of po-
lice had been stoned in front of one
of the branch meeting places of the
strikers. All day long scores of mu-
nicipal and state police had clashes at
this point. Toward 4 o'clock in the
afternoon one of the many parades
which the strikers occasionally held
was broken up. A portion of the
crowd turned toward the headquar-
ters which had been the scene of the
trouble all day. Extra guards were
rushed to the place and a pitched bat
tie III which SnOlS were nreQ DeSan.
Annie LopiZZo, who was standing near
the edge of the crowd, with several
other women, jeerng the police, fell
to the ground shot through the heart
Then the crowd dispersed. Caruso was
arrested on the spot and held the
next morning without bail, charged
with numbering the Lopizzo woman.
Three days later Ettor and Giovannitti
were locked up charged with instigat-
ing the crime through their speeches
and through literature. Three wit
nesses for the defense testified at the
preliminary hearing before Police
Court Judge Mahoney that they had
positively seen policeman shoot the
Lopizzo woman. They identified the
policeman. No witness except the po-
iceman who arrested Caruso testified
against tho latter. Attorney George r..
Roewer asked Judge Nahoney to fin
hail, II was refused An appeal was
taken TO the state supreme court in
Boston. but though Roewer had the
three witnesses swear they had seen
the policeman shoot Annie LopiZZo,
bail was again denied and the accused
men have been in jail ever since.

GOODBYE

Goodbye. proud world, I'm going
Thou'rt not my friend, and I'm not
thine;
Long through thy weary crowds I
roam;
A river ark on the ocean brine,
Long I've been tossed like the driven
foam,
Goodbye to Flatterys fawning face,
To Grandeur, with his wise grimace,
To upstart Wealth's averted eye,
To supple office low and high,
To crowded halls, to court, and street,
To frozen hearts and hasting feet,
come,
Goodbye, proud world, Tn going
home;
I'm going to my own heartstone
Bosomed in yon green hills, alone,
secret nook in a pleasant land,
Whose groves the frolic fairies
planned;
Where arches green the livelong day
Echo the blackbird's roundelay,
And vulgar feet have never trod,
A spot that is sacred to thought and
God.
Oh, when I am safe in my sylvan
home,
! tread on the pride of Greece and
Rome;
And when / am stretched beneath the
pines,
Where the evening star so holy shines
I laugh at the lore and the pride of
man,
At the sophist schools, and the learned
clan;
For what are they all in their high
conceit,
When man in the bush with God may
meet.
