Fear Disorders from Weav-
ers and LoomfiXers Who
Quit Work Monday.
MILLS ARE GUARDED
Operators Refuse to Abolish Gradu-
ated Pay System-Oyer Six Thous-
and Men Are Out.

New Bedford, Mass, July 19.-
Fearing disorders when weavers and
loom fixers who struck Monday go to
the Wamsutta Cotton Mill for their
pay this afternoon, heavily armed pri-
vate detectives, police and special
deputies to the number of several
hundred, were stationed today about
the gates, at the mill windows COM
manding all approaches, and on the
roof of the structure.
The Wamsutta was one of the II
mills which refused to abolish the
graduated pay system, instituted when
the new law abolishing graduated fine
system went into effect.
Thee were 1900 who struck at the
Wamsutta Mill. Four thousand
struck at the other II mills, and the
police feared that these additional
strikers together with other thousands
who were locked out when the IL
mills shut down would gather in the
vicinity for demonstration.
The strikers, especially those who
are members of the Industrial Wor-
kers' Of the World, were particularly
aroused today over what they claim
to be virtual embargo put on public
speaking by Police Chief Henry w.
Mason. Chief Mason last night issued
public order declaring police repre-
sentatives would attend every pub
lie gathering of strikers and that at
the first hint of melting riot or cnE-
demnation of the government, the
speakers and officials of the gather
ing would be Immediately arrested.
|. W. w. leaders were also incensed
at the reported action Of the mill
owners who are said to have decided
to employ no operative who is men,
Der of the Industrial Workers of the
World. Officials of the mill owners
today refused to discuss in any way
their meeting at which this action was
said to have been taken.
