Treatment of Women
In Lawrence Strike

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 26.-After a
personal investigation into the action of
the authorities in arresting men who
were sending their children to other
cities to be cared for, United States
Senator Miles PoindeXter, of Washing
ton, today gave out the following state
ment:
1T is evidently a campaign OF starva-
ton of women and children. The mill
owners. backed up, strange to say, by
the police, the militia, the prosecuting
attorney, and the local judges. are maxi
ing concentration camp of Lawrence.
The only parallels ] know of were the
Spanish concentration In Cuba and
Kitchener's Boer campaign in which the
British empire eXtinguished the liberty
of a people by starving their women
and children. The manner in which
the order has been carried out in Law
renee, the rough handling of women
and children, throwing them struggling
into Jail, all without warrant or even
the forms of law, forcibly reminds one
of Russian and Turkish brutalities to
Jews and Armenians.. The fact that
such thing occurs in America is start
ling, and shows how far our institutions
have been degraded by avarice.
"The women and children we're. per-
fectly peaceablef when, they were forci-
bly, stopped in their attempt to board a
railroad train. In some instances they

The police version of the shooting
affair which preceded the parade is that
a squad of fifteen special police was
passing when a tenement window was
thrown up and a hand holding a A
caliber revolver was stuck out. A shot
was fired, and another window was
raised and a hand thrust forth holding
a revolver. A second shot was fired,
