LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 2S.-
Wives and mothers suffered again
today in the Lawrence textile
strike, when Troop b of the state
militia, aided by a force of police,
charged $50 women and a score
of men who were quietly walking
along Essex st. The charge came
suddenly and without warning.
Although the small army of
strikers broke and ran for shelter,
offering not the slightest resist
ance, the cavalry pursued for
blocks. Several women were
knocked down and trampled upon
by policemen, who used their
clubs freely on the men. One po-
liceman knocked down woman
with a blackjack.
Only one striker, q woman, was
arrested.
The police and militia later to-
day modified their tactics In re-
gard to the indiscrim1nate club
bling of women. Special Agent
Gaggenburg, representing Attor-
ney General Wickersham, is here,
but it is not known what connec-
ton his presence has with orders
to the police to use less open force.
1t was reported that Gov. Foss
has ordered Col. Sweetzer to lie
prepared to withdraw the militia
from Lawrence before Monday.
The strikers today asked Special
Agent Gannenberg to investigate
the mysterious payment of fines
the courts had imposed on mis-
treated woman strikers who re-
fused to pay their fines.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. u.s.
Plans were completed today
whereby $50 children of the strik-
ing textile workers are to go to
Washington to plead with con-
gress for an investigation of the
strike. The delegation plans to
leave for the capital tomorrow,
and it is expected that the house
committee on rules will give them
a hearing Friday.
The Washington officials regard
the case as identical with that of
the night riders when eight men
were fined. 1t does not matter,
it was pointed out, whether the
children's tickets had been pur-
chased since they were actually on
their way when stopped.
The maximum penalty for vio-
lation of the Sherman law is a
81, 900 fine and one years impris-
onment.
