Automatic S%prinkIers At All Mills.

All cotton mills in South Carolina
are equipped with automatic sprink,
Tiers. Their value as a protection
against fire is invaluable. The fol.
lowing report indicates from actual
experience their absolute security. AS
a result of investigations completed
recently with reference to fires which
have been extinguished by automatic
sprinklers, it is stated that during
the last ten years sos of these fires
have resulted in such slight damage
either by fire or water that no claim
was made on insurance companies.

Lawrence, Mass, Nov. 2e.-
We are free! Free to1ive, to min
gle with our fellows, to breathe
air uptainted by the bars and
hewn stone of the pen for real
criminals.
We are free to fight again for
the flag of labor, and we are al
ready fighting. We began to
fight within half hour after our
liberation.
It is due to the support and
loyalty of the millions of work
ing men, women and children
who are banded together to fight
the mill owners and their politi-
cal lackeye, that we do not now
sleep behind prison bars en-
shrouded BY granite walls with
keepers pacing before our cells.
| do not owe my life to the laws
of Massachusetts or the tricks of
lawyers, but to the working class
of America, and the world.
The jails. and electric chair
doomed before US for nearly
year, but in the cause of labor
there is; no failure, no death.
The same crowd of silk-tiled
conspirators who planted dyna-
mite, endangering the lives and
property Of the innocent to dis
credit the starving strikers and
place me and the other leaders in
prison, have conspired for the last
few months to create public feel
ing sufficient to lynch us in Salem,
and they still go unpunished.
This same ring erected an arch
