children were tagged with slips OF paper

ants to have their children go to Phils-

other hand some Of the officials declared
that when the parents called for their
children they said that they surrendered
them under misapprehension, and that
they were now anxious to take them
home and keep them tore. The strike

Governor Foss's private secretary said
that the Governor had begun a thorough
investigation of the conflict between the

When the authorities learned to-day
that leaders of the Industrial Workers
Of the World had asked every man,

streets tomorrow morning and do
picket duty, they made preparations 70

was coupled with the call made last
night on all workers l.. every occupation
in the city to throw up their work and
Join in general sympathetic strike to-
morrow morning.

men would discuss in their sermons to-
day the matter of exporting the chill

controls the main body of strikers, came
from the Rev. James T. Riley, pastor

war into Lawrence, and that while
wages might have BEN the issue al one
time 1t WAS now anarchy.
No headway is being made, so far as
can be learned toward a settlement Of
