Knives and Clubs Used in Open
Clash Between Officers
and Paraders.

Lawrence, Mass-Police and parad-

day before a demonstration by mem
bers of the Industrial Workers OF the
World. Two officers were stabbed,
several demonstrators were dubbed,
and an Industrial Worker leader was
captured after a hard fight and then
freed. Two arrests were made.
The clash was unexpected. More
than 10000 operatives met at the rail-
road station to welcome 700 members
of the Industrial Workers Of the
World who had come from Boston to
participate in parade to the graves
of Anna Lopizzo and John Ramay,
who were killed in the strike riots
last January.
After the visitors had detrained an
impromptu parade started, turning
finally into Essex street, the main
business thoroughfare. The parade
was informal and no application had
been made for a parade permit. The
police, notified that the operatives
were marching, attempted to end the
demonstration.

Mr.. Taft is not prepared to call con-

callers that he had no present inten.
ton of doing so. He made it clear
to friends that Intervention is just as
far away today as it was then-it is
