WALK OUT At LAWRENCE
Big Strike On as Protest
Against Imprisonment of

LAWRENCE, Mass, Sept. 2T.-As a
protest against the Imprisonment OF
Joseph J. Ettor and Arturo Giovannitti,
the industrial workers of the world
organizers, 1900 textile operatives
struck here today The washington
and Wood mills OF the American Wool
en- company were the first plants to
be affected by the wslkout The Aver
mill. employing about 1000 operatives,
was shut down. practically all depart
operatives work. also closed.
HOW STRIKE SPREAD
Within two hours after the machin-
cry was started for the day, the strike
had spread to other plants. Several
hundred employees of the Pacific Cot
ton mills walked out.
When the operatives appeared at the
mills members Of the Industrial Work
ers of the World urged them to strike
Many persons Joined the strike. while
others fearing violence went to their
homes.
More than 100 policemen were on
duty in the mill section. Hundreds OF
idle men assembled near the mills, but
were dispersed without disorder.
No serious disorder was reported
during the early hours Of the strike,
although there were a few minor clash
es between strikers and operatives who
refused to quit.
ETTOR ADVISED 1T
A general strike of the Industrial
workers of the World has been advo-
Gated by William d. Haywood and otn-
or leaders of the organization, as
protest against the imprisonment Of
Ettor and Giovannitti. whose trial on
a charge Of being. accessories of muir
der is to begin at Salem on Monday.
Ettor and Gioavannitti in a letter
given out few days ago ADVISED
against such strike.
The strike spread to the Arlington
cotton. mills and the Prospect mills Of
the American Wooden company. At the
biz Arlington plant 300 operatives en-
pIoyed in the worsted spinning depart
lrent, left their places and few WIN
dows were broken, At the Prospect
mills 200 struck. ..a
Several strikers who were urging oth-
ers 10 quit work at the Wood and Aver
mills. were arrested, charged with dis
turbing the peace, and a man who was
addressing a crowd near the Washing
ton mill also was taken into custody.
At II o'clock about. 1900 operatives
were idle, many on strike, and others
forced out by the shutting down OF the
ulIerenI departments VI INC pie'i09'
More than 10000 operatives aban-
doned their machines.
Four mills owned by the American
Wooden company are the most serious
ly affected Several hundred operatives
from other mills Joined the movement
The strike started yesterday when
1000 operatives left. the Washington
mills. Leaders of the Industrial Work
ers of the World, at a meeting last
night counseled against general
strike, and today all, those who walked
out yesterday returned to work. An
hour later they again left their ma
chimes and the movement spread rapid
ly. Ettor. upon hearing of the plan to
strike, wrote a letter urging his fol-
lowers to remain at work until after
his trial, which is, to begin at Salem
next week.

fifty party of water, and in very bad
cases one part to thirty parts of water.
The animals should be thoroughly wash
ed or sprayed with this solution taking
care to cover every part of the body.
The operation may need to be repeated
in period of a week TO ten days. AMI
mails infested with lice should be we'll
fed and cared for and kept in clean
quarters. 1t will be necessary to dis
inject any houses which they may occu-
by, and for this purpose whitewash is
good thing to use. All litter and
trash should be cleaned up and burned,
so as to destroy all harboring places
of the pest. If these directions are
thoroughly followed out you will have
no serious trouble in getting rid of
the lice.
The best method to destroy weevils in
ccrn is through the use of carbon BIZ
sulphate at the rate of one pound TO
1000 cubic feet of space. If your corn
is housed in an open crib the treatment
is more difficult and expensive, and you
will have to increase the amount of BIZ
sulphate by at least .pne-half. II your
house is not large, and you can cover
it with tarpaulin or anything else that
will prevent the escape of the fumes
so much the better. Carbon bisulphide,
as you know. is very inflammable and
one handling it should not smoke or
bring lights in it's vicinity. 1t is much
heavier than air. and if placed in an
open vessel on top of the corn it will
quickly evaporate and pass down
through the corn effectually destroying
the weevil. More than one treatment
of the corn may be necessary. The BIZ
sulphide will not in the least injure the
corn though there may be an unpleas-
ant odor for a few days. but this Will
soon disappear This is the only cheap
and effective method for destroying the
weevil, and if it is persistently used,
there is no question as to its efficiency.

growing a summer crop and the soils
on which the legumes in particlar were
grown would be materially enriched.
Washing and erosion during the winter
season would also be minimized, and
these are very important considerations.
Farmers who contemplate growing these
crops, and all should make an effort
to devote a considerable area to them
the present fall and winter, should bear
in mind the necessity of using sufficient
amount of plant food to secure the best
results. The reckless use of fertilizers
is to be condemned in every way, but
their rational use is to- be commended in
the highest terms, For use under fall
crops there is nothing better than a car
rier of nitrogen in an organic form, and
in an average season 1t has been de-
monstrated that cotton seed meal will
furnish this material as cheaply and in
as desirable form as it can be obtained
elsewhere. . -l

TRUTH IN THE END.

1t has been said by those who are
only too eager to think so, 1.-The Gary
bribery cases are ended" The
ancient Romans had motto of
which they were very fond. 1t was,
Magma est veritas, ct praevalibit. .
In our tongue 1t is truth is mighty
and will prevail"
The Gary bribery cases are not
ended. Far from it. They will be a
very live topic in, this state for a
long, long time.
Some day the truth shall be
known; some day the facts will be
published abroad and the guilty will
want the very mountain tops to fall
upon them.
The thin crust of earth that hides
the seething lava from him who
.dwells on its surface in fancied Sc
;curity can burst open in a second.

moment we refuse to believe that

orator who shouted in the Forum

just as gullible as the woman whom
the agent finds in the kitchen doing
her own washing.
1t is a safe assumption to make
that you can buy anything an agent
has to sell for just as low a price in
the stores Of your own town, SO why
bother with them?
But If you must buy of the agent
then use common ordinary business
judgement and don't pay for any
thing until you get it. The agent
who wants a deposit as an evidence
OF good faith on your part usually is
not good faith himself. II he has q
legitimate proposition he is willing
to take your word for it that you
will take the goods when they are
delivered. Why take all of the
chance yourself?

WHAT OF THE FUTURE

At recent meeting of the Guild of
st. Luke, in New York city, statistics
were presented which do not make
pleasant reading for native-born
Americans. They show that neither
New York nor New England can just
ly censure the French on the score
of race suicide.
In the city of New York the birth
rate is given as 46 in every 1000 Of
the population for Italians, 35 fof
Jews. 25 for Irish and Ia for Ameri-
cans. The birth rate in this country
las in Europe. Is lowest among the
rich and thrifty. The birth rate in
the advanced nations of the earth
was lower at the close of the nine
teenth century than at the close OF
the eighteenth.
What will be the future of this
country when immigration practical
ly ceases and the prosperity now en-
joyed by the average native Ameri
can is shared by the children of the
| foreign-born? Is the prediction t
| be borne out that the human race. a.
lit increases the refinements of civil
zation, will gradually eliminate

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

The home rule bill for Ireland
presented in the house of commons
a few days ago is characterized on
one side as a very liberal measure
land on the other side. especially by
the Ulster Unionists, as ridiculous,
fantastic and impossible to admins
ltrate." 1t may be of interest to our
Irish readers to know the main points
of the home rule scheme.
The bill provides that the matters
to be excluded from the control of
the Irish parliament are the crown,
the army and the navy, imperial
affairs, the Irish land purchase and
the old age pensions and national in
surance acts, the Irish constabulary,
the postoffice savings bank and pub
lie loans, in addition to those ex-
cluded by the home rule bill of 1893.
which left the customs under control
of the imperial government
The Irish constabulary is to be
automatically transferred to the
Irish government after six years and
power is given by the bill to the Irish
parliament to demand the transfer OF
the old age pensions and insurance
act to its control on giving a years
notice to the imperial government.
