Today Is Crucial Day

Lawrence, Mass; March 4.-Another crucial day in the textile strike is looked for tomorrow Strikers made preparations tonight to increase the hundreds of pick cts which did duty today, but the mill agents say many operatives who remained away this morning through fear of vio- lence will report for duty tomorrow to receive the advance in pay.
 The entire police force will be on duty. while the militia will be stationed in the mill zone Military forces, however. will be smaller as four companies were ex- cused today and their places have not been filled. Today soldiers were not used.
 Impartial observers asserted the num- Der of operatives at work today, aside from the thousand or more members of the Central Labor union, did not exceed the number working last week. This in- dication that they were holding their own was pleasing to the strike leaders
 How long the mills will hold open their offer of an increase is not known. except that at the Arlington mill it has been announced that after Wednesday morning the management will not guar antee work to strikers. Until that time any former employees will be taken back at the increased scale
