Women Try to Prevent Workman from Getting to Bieachery-Arrested and Placed on Probation.

John Andocavitz, a Polish man of about 40 years of age. and of slight eight sturdy Polish women early Thursday morning when he attempted to enter the gates of the Greeneville plant of the T.. s. Finishing company and although he fought back vigor- ously for some minutes police inter
 ference was necessary before the wo-
 men would give up their attack. When
 the trouble broke out Policeman Bray
 who was in the immediate neighbor-
 hood, rushed down to the gate and
 tried to quiet the women. Just about
 this time Sergeant Mathews with sev-
 era1 officers appeared on the scene
 and he ordered the women to stop
 fighting, but as some of them would
 not keep quiet Sergeant Matthews
 ordered their arrest and they were
 placed in the Greeneville station later
 being taken to court in d cab. As
 one of the prisoners was getting into
 the cab with the police officers man
 standing nearby handed her a baby
 and she took it along to the court
 house.
 When court was opened the room was tiled with many friends of the prisoners who were presented for trial before Judge Brown. Five women who are unable to talk English were charged with preventing John Ando- cavitz from going to work in the plant of the U. s. Finishing company and a woman interpreter had to be used.
 Among the witnesses were John Heath, Sergeant Matthews, Policemen Bray and Murphy and John Andoca- vitz. The testimony brought out the fact that Andocavitz had started for his work in the bleachery when he was surrounded by the eight women, who jostled him around considerably and he claimed that he was hit sev- eral times. As soon as Andocavitz saw that he was getting the worst of the fight he drew a small club out of his pocket with which to defend him self, but he was unable to use it as the women took 1t away from him and threw 1t into the street.
 Sergeant Matthews stated that An docaVitz had had trouble getting to work Wednesday morning on account of the interference of the women and as they appeared in larger force Thursday morning he thought it was time to act The prisoners claimed that they were without food for them selves and children and that they need help. They made a general de- nial of the charges brought against them. Judge Brown discharged one of the women and through the interpreter gave the others some good advice to follow. The women were placed on probation until May 1, judgment being suspended until that time. They prom ised the court that they would keep the peace and they were allowed to go free without bonds.
