PATTERSON, N. J., April 2s,--While
10000 strikers waited for him at the
Erie Railroad station today. big "Bill'
Haywood the fighting head of the In
dustrial Workers of the World" was
quietly arrested on the train at Pas
automobile.
When the crowd discovered that it
had been outmanoeuvred by Sheriff
Radcliffe and that the gigantic dem
onstration that had been planned for
Haywood's arrest was successfully
countered a riot nearly took place.
Police reserves after half an hour of
hard work managed to clear the
streets Without any actual violence.
Meanwhile Haywood, who had been
arrested by the sheriff in person, was
arraigned on a charge of disorderly
conduct and released in $1,000 bail.
Immediately afterward he made a
speech to the strikers in Turn Hall.
Now that the heavy hand of the
law has fallen on all their leaders,
the strikers are in a more militant
mood than ever.
The pickets in the mill sections
have effectually dissuaded the manu-
facturers from attempting any
further Importation of strike-b break
ers.
At the Cramer & King Dye Works
fourteen prisoners We're taken today
on the ancient unlawful assem-
blage" charge. All were released by
Recorder Carroll.
At yesterdays meeting of the strik-
ers at Haledon, the Rev. Irwin Tucker
delivered a message of love from
Patrick Quinlan, one of the indicted
leaders who has been unable to find
bondsman.
There is something of the spirit of
rs about this strike" said the
preacher. "A spirit that laughs at
jails. courts and Judges that prosti-
tute their powers"
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn invited fur
ther trouble by unreservedly attack
ing at the meeting the grand jury
that indicted her and the other 1. w.
w. agitators.
"a jury made up of manufacturers
indicted u.s." she said in her speech
from the balcony of house at Hale
don, three miles north of Paterson;
land if we are to be tried by jury
Df the same character you may as
well get ready for the 1. w. w.
funeral.
I'VE didn't stand a chance with
: that Jury. There wasn't one working
man in the number. They were
against us from the start. Consider
the men on the jury. The foreman
is the superintendent of the Edison
plant in Paterson, where we tried to
on the jury were shoe dealer,
silk manufacturer, a silk dealer, a
silk appraiser, a hardware dealer and
a phonograph merchantmen one
workingman in the whole group.
These people have lost money during
the strike and so we have to suffer.
IF we are tried by a jury of our
peers We'll certainly be acquitted.
s'Mayor Mcbride" she continued.
"will get a chance to make good his
assertion that Paterson will feed it's
own children. 1 want all the mothers
to bring their children to the City
Hall Wednesday and go before Mayor
Mcbride and tell him to stand by his
promise. Well give him twentyfour
hours more than he deserves to fulfil
the agreement If he doesn't do 1t by
Thursday morning we are going to
send the children in autos from here
to New York, where they'll take part
in the big May walk"
