FACTORY OWNERS SAY
LAWRENCE STRIKE ENDED

[BT UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS1
LAWRENCE, Mass, March 6.-The
police and militia charged the strike
picketers at the Arlington mills today.
Ten women and five men were arrest
ed on charges of intimidation and as
sault. The police allege that the strik-
ers were carrying bags of red pepper
and they feared attempts to blind the
strike breakers. Many returned to
work this morning. The owners as
sert that the strike is broken, but the
strikers say 10000 are still out.
Mrs. Taft Present
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Mrs. Taft
was a spectator when the congression-
al rules committee resumed the Law
renee strike hearing. Her interest
centered in 13 emaciated children
brought to Washington to testify.
The first witness was Commissioner
Lynch, who admitted that women and
children were jailed adding: Il did
not know why" He tried to minimize
it by saying that the women and child
ren were merely detained, not ar
rested He was unable to give a rea-
son for the "detainment."
William d. Haywood, who is con-
Quoting the strike for the textile work
ers, has arrived. He probably will tes-
tify regarding the alleged police bru-
talities.
John Sullivan, captain of police of
Lawrence, admitted that strikers were
clubbed and bayoneted
Sullivan's testimony came after the
Lawrence police commissioner, Lynch,
had testified that if dubbed Sullivan
was responsible. Sullivan testified
that the strikers threw ice at passen-
gers on the trolley cars, that they
wrecked cars, and that he and the
company interfered, the clubbing be-
ing necessary. He denied that women
and children were dubbed, although
dozen witnesses had just testified
they had been. Lynch testified that
he was unfamiliar with the law pro-
hibiting his order to prevent depor-
tatiOn of children.
"Children were thrown about, but
picked up gently, and the women were
not offered resistance. They wished
to appear as martyrs" Sullivan con-
cluded
Mrs. Taft exhibited great interest
in the hearing. She was accompan-.
led by her niece, Miss Anderson. She
sat next to Congressman Berger and
conversed with him throughout the
session. Many fashionably attired
women attended.

poses Discussed.

The postponed meeting of the Re-
publican Club of this city was held,
a. 7.30 p. NJ, Thursday, at Union hall,
and it was attended by very large
ana enthusiastic gathering.
Hon. Frank G. Harrington of Angus
Ia was the first speaker of the eve
ming, and he spoke of the purposes of
forming the Republican Club in gen.
eral, saying that it was not for the
interests of any individual candidate,
but for the purpose of assisting the
voters in determining their stand. He
criticized the Democratic administra-
ton to a certain extent, both State
wide and locally. Mr.. harrington was
at his best-forcible. logical and con-
vincing. He urged united support of
the Republican candidates who should
be nominated at the primaries.
Hon. William b. Shelton of Lewis
ton, the last speaker of the evening, IN
his address spoke mainly of State is
sues. In his speech he referred to
the promises that had been broken by
the Democratic officials, and the TACT
that in their platform they had adj
vocated the direct primary act, while
the true primary act at the present
zine was drafted by Republican
member of the House. He stated that
while occasionally, under the Repub-
Iioan administration there might have
been lapses of enforcement OF the
prohibition law, there never had
been such notification, or encourage
ment of notification as there has been
under the present administration.
He spoke of local instances in Lew
iston, his home town, where the en-
forcement of the law had been ne
elected, and he mentioned the in
stance in Waterville, where Mr.. Prin-
gle was assaulted, while performing
his legal duties, saying that he thought
this would not have occurred if the
officials had tried to enforce the pro-
hibitory law. He expressed the be
lief that the recent tragedy in Lewis
ton was due in no small measure to
the spirit of lawlessness engendered
fragrant violation and notification of
law.
The speaker alluded to the alleged
Democratic economy, comparing the

bulletins, showing that the Democratic

what was observed from the Mount
Temple at sea the Sunday night the
Titanic went down. According to Mr..
Zurich. passengers on board the Mount
Temple heard of the Titanic's distress
at 1916 O'Clock, Monday morning, when
n wireless call for help was caught
Captain Moore changed his vessels
course at once and headed for the III
tanic, lifeboats being swung from da-
Wits meanwhile, and other prepare
tons being made for lending assist
ance. The new course was not held
long. however. says Zurich because a
great field of ice doomed up ahead. II
was reported among crew and passen-
gers, according to Mr.. Zurich, that
Captain Moore made no further eff
forts to penetrate the floes, asserting
that he could not afford to take the
risk of endangering the 2000 souls
aboard his ship. The statement of DIR.
Quitzrau to the effect that passengers
and crew believed that they could see
the lights of the unfortunate Titanic
is borne out by Mr.. Zurich. With two
ompanion passengers he disobeyed
the captains orders, which forbade
passengers entrance to the upper deck
at any time. He Is fairly positive that
they saw the masts of the Titanic and
says he is not ready to accept the as
sertion that their ship was at least Al
miles from the wrecked liner at the
time. At any rate, he thinks the Mount
Temple might have reached the spot
before the Titanic sank, and this sup
position. he says. seems to have been
entertained by others on board.
