Friend and Foe Alike for Ability and
Success as Organizers. 3.

The approaching trials Of Joseph j.
Ettor and Arturo Giovannitti once
more brings their personalities and the
facts relating to their case int- prom
inent view. Both men possess per-
sonalities that can stand close scrut-
my and that should, in connection with
the injustice done them, win the warm
support and interest of the entire
working class. Both are capable labor
champions whose ability is attested
by the persecution now being waged
against them. Both are young, sintelli-
gent, ardent and brave men Of convic,
tons and ideals. Ettor is 81 years
old, and a native of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Giovannitti is an Italian by birth. He
first saw the light 20 years ago.
Disinterested students of events in
Lawrence join with the outspoken enc
mics in their praise and admiration.
This is especially true of Ettor. Be-
cause of his greater prominence in the
Lawrence strike, he has been made
the subject of many newspaper and
magazine articles. Even the Lawrence
Catholic Priest who penned the distor-
ton of fact which appeared in the
Brooklyn Tablet, Catholic organ, de-
scribes Ettor favorably, in these words
"This is the man who took charge
of the strike in Lawrence the third of
it's inception. He had personality
that was winning in it's way. He spoke
English and Italian fiuently. He soon
had all the active spirits in the strike
believing in him absolutely and ready
to do his slightest bidding"
William Merriam Pratt, another an
tagnistic writer, describes Ettor in the
New England Magazine for March, as
"a man of unlimited physical vitality,
and a wonderful capacity for leader
ship and pronounced Socialist. Pratt
is a first lieutenant in the Massachu-
sets national guard, which took part
in the Lawrence strike, is also an
author Of military works; so his judg-
ment of Ettor's capacities Is authorita-
tive. Pratt, also credits Ettor with
greater personal magnetism and eloqu-

spells bare existence and untimely
death. To prove this to the world the
large death rate Of children under one

most Of these children perish because
they were starved before birth. And

These mill owners have charged the
strikers with violence and then in the
best Of times they have paid the work
ers a starvation wage. They have
built large mills within the last ten
years, and paid annual dividends, and
they ask the workers to submit to a
wage that coolie would despise. They
have pitted the women and children
against the men and so brought wages
down to level where an honest living
is beyond the average textile worker.
They have introduced improved ma
chinery into the factories and thrown
the workers out on the street to starve
or used the surplus labor created by
labor-saving machinery. to grind the
lives out Of those who were fortunate
enough to have job. v 4. q
These mill owners not only have the
corrupting force Of dollars on their
sides, but the powers of city and state
government are being used by them to
Cypress and sweep aside all opposi-

and underpaid textile workers. The
very courts, where, justice is suppos-
ed to be impartial, are being used by
by the millionaire mill owners. And 80

sentences to the strikers as if they

offenders. He has refused to release
on bail two of the leaders of the strike,
while he released a prisoner charged
with conspiracy and planting dyna.
mite, on a thousand dollars bail. He

slavery and: starvation, free from over
work and underpay, free from a state

In our fight we have suffered and
borne patiently the abuse and calum-
MES of the millowners, the city gov
eminent, police, militia, state
government, legislature and the local

justice to our fellow workers we
should at this time make known the
causes which compelled us to strike
against the mill owners Of Lawrence.
We hold that as useful members of So
ciety and as wealth producers we
have the right to lead decent and hon
orable lives; that we ought to have
homes and not shaeks;; that we ought
to have clean food and not adulterat.
ed food at high prices; that we ought
to secure sufficient food, clothing and

Prudence indeed, will dictate that
conditions long established should moi
be changed for light or transient caus:

A JOURNALISTS DESCRIPTION.

George Brington, in his Review of
the Lawrence Strike'', in the Lawrence
Evening Tribune, March 20, depicts Eft {
tors work and results as follows: Ss
"The general strike committee, with
Ettor as chairman, was organized.
The seemingly hopeless task of success
fully organizing some $4,000 mill OPP
eratives, comprising nearly every race
and creed of the, world, was begun.
Under the guidance Of Ettor, matters
moved smoothly and swiftly. The gen
eral strike committee, representing in
its personnel every nationality involv-
ed by at least two candidates took
immediate hold of the situation. That
hold taken in the first twenty four
hours following the start of the strike,
was maintained and unbroken to the
day, nine weeks later, when the vote
that practically marked the cessation
of hostilities was passed.
Sunday Of the 14th passed quietely.s
It was the deceiving quietude OF or
ganized preparation that most success
fully misled practically the entire city.
The trouble was over, it was but Il
tempest in a teapot, said many. They
knew not of the almost continues
series of meetings held by the thou
sands Of operatives throughout the day
Neither did they know OF 4 a certain
word that was, already early becoming
a watchWord. 1t was q word Of

since spread itself and It's meaning

word was Solidarity !, This meaning,

fused to consider their demands in any
way that Is reasonable or just. They
have, in the security Of their bayonets
and polio eman' s clubs, defied the
state, city and public. In fact, the
city Of Lawrence and the government
of Massachusett have become the
creatures Of the mill owners. They
have declared that they will not treat
with the strikers until they eturn TO

not Thriftness is also encouraged. A
scout saves every penny he can and puts
it in the bank, so that he may have
money to help himself when out of work,
If this movement should he scattered
all over the nation it would make the
country stronger and the land would be
filed with good honest and intelligent
citizens Although this is not really a
military organization. it so trains the
boy in discipline, obedience and order
that he could fight almost as well as if
he were trained in the army,
So taking everything into considera-
ton we find that the Boy Scout move
mept takes boys off the crowded streets
and gives him a taste of outdoor life.
1t makes the boy stronger physically,
mentally and morally and as result of
this il will make the country stronger
by filing it with good honest citizens,
