Desperate after their clubbing OF
yesterday, the strikers roughed work
ers who refused to turn back. lmmed-
iatelv the state and city police were
rushed to a half dozen different points
in automobiles and other vehicles
which had been pressed into service.
The appearance of the police was the
signal for desperate fighting. Swing
ing nightsticks and wagon-tongues the
police battered the strikers back to-
ward Common street. Every minute
some one dropped, beaten lnsenslble.
and occasionally a policeman would
fall to the street, badly wounded.
From all points the crowd converged
into one great mass at Essex ard Un-

Red Flags in Lawrence, Mass.-Ad'
mission to Courthouse by

-
Salem, Mass, Sept. 30.-The Ettor
and Giovannitti case, which has az
tracted world wide attention, may
last but few days.
The town of Salem was awake early.
By nine o'clock thousands of people
clogged the streets. They came from
Lawrence, hundreds waving the red
flags of the l. W. W., and they came,
too, from Haverhill, from Lynn, from
Andover-from all the "mill-towns." :"
The crowd found its local point at
the Salem courthouse, little red brick
building in the very shadow OF Gal
lows Hill where a hundred years ago
they hanged witches.
Admission to the courthouse was by
card only. State police guarded the
gates to the grounds and the doors to
the building itself

Congress Not Expected to Grant More
Than Two Vessels-Possibly One
Dreadnaught. -.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Forerun-
ner of bitter fight in Congress this
winter between the advocates of big
navy, no battleship members and ad-
vocates of universal peace and disarm-
ament, the report of the General
Board of the Navy urging the con-
struction of four battleships, two bat
tleship cruisers and large number
OF auxiliary vessels was expected to-
today to cause swift alignment of
the different factions in Congress on
this troublesome subject.
It is the plan of the Legislators who
were defeated in the last session OF
Corci crs in their fight for two battle
ships, to get program Of sufficient
size to "catch up" with the general
naval program. To do this it would
be necessary to spend at least S4o,-
100000 for three battleships, only
one having been appropriated for at
the last session. The result, it IS
predicted, will almost certainly be
that there will be three battleship
men, two batteship men and those
who favor the construction Of only
one great ship. There will also be
large and active opposition to the
building of any battleships at all.
A good deal of sentiment which
was fostered and developed at the
last session, has sprung up in favor of
letting the navy rest" Congress
men of both parties from the interl-
or districts of the country say there
is no sentiment in their districts for
big navy and declare they intend to
fight any proposition looking to
big increase.
The probabilities are that Secre-
tary Of the Navy Meyer, w!ll recon-
mend to Congress the construction of
three big ships, cutting out the big
cruisers asked for by the general
board. Present prospects are that
Congress will grant no more than two
ships, with a possibility OF only one
big dreadnaught authorized at the
next session.
