PATERSON. \. j., June ITO
place their children on the picket
lines is the latest plan Of the 5000
silk strikers in their desperate fight
TO stave off defeat.
They intend to replace force with
pathos- The / W. W leaders think
that the pale faces and emac.ated
forms Of the army Of children, upon
whom have fallen the worst blows of
the labor war, would touch the hearts
of the. strikebreakers and move them
in a way that bricks and bombs have
failed to do.
It was Elizabeth Gurley Flynn who
broached the scheme. At a meeting
in leased vacant lots in Water street
last night she said:
Now that the school term will
soon be ended, there is no reason why
the children can't picket l don't
think the police will use their brute
force against them like they have on
the mothers and fathers
Don't Fear Arrest
1T is well that the children have
an opportunity to see the oppression
that exists in Paterson. ! hardly
think any of them will be arrested
for picketing.
IF the children of fifteen or twenty
years ago had taken an active inter-
est in the labor question there would
have been no occasion for the present
strike

better They will have to do better,
| indeed. else be slaves and work
beasts under the lash of the masters
They have no prospects and no hope
for better conditions unless we can
win the things for which We are
fighting in this strike
While the leaders We're busy to-
i day perfecting plans for using the
| children as piclkets. the entire re-
/ sources of the police were being
sagiat into play IN an effort 10 find
the men responsible fer the mann-
facture of bombs.
Another bomb. with the fuse
| lighted. was found in hallway of a
house at a25 Madison avenue. today.
Girl Finds Bomb.
Amy Francesca, the daughter OF q
strikebreaker. was going out to shop
when she saw a smudge of red in a
/ dark corner of the hallway. She
| knew that threats had been made to
/ blow up the house
/ Screaming for help. she ran out into
/ the street. Another tenant stamped
out the fuse and the bomb. unex-
ploded. was turned over 10 the po-
/ lice.
John Sangster. a striker. was later
arrested on a charge of disorderly
/ conduct The police deny that he
is suspected Of having any connec-
ton with the many bomb outrages
! that have terrorized the city.
Chief of Police Bimson told an Eve
ming Star correspondent today that
he thought the strike was petering
out
1t is understood that the police fear
more attempts to wreck trains on the
Erie railroad. A pile of ties was
found early today to have been moved
during the night to place along the
track where it would be compara-
lively easy TO push them 10 front OF
a train.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn will be.
placed on trial for "ineiting TO riot
ION June %. a week from Monday.
/ Prosecutor Michael Dunn announced
today that her case would be the
first William D. Haywood. Adolph
lLessig and others will be tried imme-
diately afterwards The juries II
these cases will be chosen from 2
panel of veniremen dra wn in Hudson
Icounty. to insure an impartial trial.
Another movement for a congress
sional inquiry into the strike is on
foot Business men. who have lost
trade, are back of it.
Petitions which will be sent TO
+ President Wilson and New Jersey
Representatives in Congress, were cir
! culated today and the number Of
signatures grows rapidly
/ DR.. William Livingston, a professor
al Columbia University. who is said
here to be acting for New York peo-
pie. particularly Mrs. Rose Pastor
Stokes and Amos Pinchot. spent a
day here and departed for Washing
ton to talk matters over with Sena-'
tor William Hughes. 1t is believed
his inquiry was preparatory to a de-
mand for a senatorial investigation
A thousand silk dyers employed by
the Weidmann company voted unani-
mously yesterday to continue the
strike
