in their arms, were beaten down.
After each attack nearly score of
the strikers were arrested and
rushed to the police station. There,
huddled in bull pen, they continued
to sing, men, women and girls,

police station and the courts to show
that the textile workers spirIts,were
unbroken.
A notable fact is that so far as

was raised against the police and
during the three hours clubbing Of
the strikers, not a policeman was
scratched.

The report sent broadcast that three
additional men had perished was found
to be erroneous.
Several persons we're rescued from

were injured. The loss is estimated at
$4,000. The origin of the fire is be-

100 persons were sleeping on the two
upper floors, to which the fire was con
