LAWRENCE, Mass, March IL
A demonstration early today In
front of the police station by sever
al hundred textile strikers and SYM
pathizers, including many women,
threatened for a time to develop in
to a serious disturbance.
The crowd assembled after the ar
rest of a woman striker. and became
so menacing that the police had to
use clubs. The police say the wo-
man displayed a revolver while en-
gagged in picketing.
Following her arrest a great dem.
onstration was made by the strik-
ers, and it appeared an attempt
would be made to snatch me woman
from the hands of the police. Order
was finally restored. S'v of the
leaders in the demonstration were
arrested, four of whom were women.
TIE strikers today made the biggest
demonstration Of picketing since the
-trik3 began, and it is estimated
more than five thousand persons pa
raded.

Because It would be in violation. OF

an agreement between the superinten'
dent Of public buildings and grounds
and the Texas Bithulithic Company,
contractors for paving the driveway
around the state house, to permit the
men employed in the work to labor
nine hours each day.
This is the law that was vetoed by
the governor because it carried no
provisions for working more than
eight hours day in case of emer-
gency, but the supreme court held the
governors veto came too late, the
governor having excluded Sundays In
computing the twenty days which he
