PATERSON, N. j., June Fol-
lowing the sentencing of Alexander
Scott, editor of the Weekly Issue, of
Passaic, by Judge Klenert. yesterday,
Paterson experienced a rather 'turbu
|.lent day Henry Doherty. proprietor
of the Doherty mill in the Lakeside
section of the city. was attacked by
several pickets outside the mill and
was rescued after he had received
rather severe shaking up while Luigi
DeLava. foreman of Garfield, was
dragged into the woods, beaten and
shot in the back.
DeLava was taken to St. Mary's
Hospital in Passaic, where 1t was
said that the wound in his back
might prove fatal. One of Doherty's
assailants who threatened him with
a revolver was apprehended after
chase and sentenced to one year in
jail or to pay fine of 800 by Justice
of the Peace Sutton.
Jacob Kushner of counsel for the
strikers, made good his assertion of
the previous day that Hannah Silver
man. the pretty 17-year-old leader,
whom big Bill'' Haywood charac-
terizes as the greatest little 1. w. w.
woman in the world" would take
part in the pageant of the !. w. w.
at Madison Square Garden, New
York, tonight as per schedule. Han
nah was sentenced to twenty days in
the county Jail by Recorder Carroll
on Wednesday, but Kushner succeed
ed yesterday In obtaining writ OF
certiorari for her release.
Sheriff Is Denounced.
Hannah, upon her release, de-
nounced Sheriff Amos H. Radcliffe
for the poor food given her during
her two days Imprisonment and de-
clared that she tasted for the two
days, rather than eat the HORRIBLY
cooked food given her. When she
complained to County Physician
Armstrong the latter told her she
would have to eat or starve, she as
serts.
The 1. w. w. meeting, held on
Water street last night, which had
been advertised for the exclusive ben
eft of the women, came very near
being a frost, and, in fact, If it had
not been for the fact that Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn announced that the
men were also welcome. the audience
would have been very small one.
Miss Flynn and Carlo Tresca were the
speakers.
The former declared that because Of
the great demand for meeting of the
children, arrangements had been made
to hold one next Saturday afternoon.
She spoke of the fact that it had been
said that none of the I. w. w. lead
ers were present at the trials of the
forty-two strikers and said "if we
had been present the press would
have said that our presence there in
Inundated the strikers" She also
spoke of the conviction of Hannah
Silverman, whom she termed 'the he
roine of the strike"
To Send Children Away.
Miss Flynn, in her speech, defended
Alexander Scott and declared that his
case would be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States, If need
be- Another effort will be made to
send several hundred children to New
York, she said, where at the present
time arrangements have been made
for the accommodation of three hun
bred more.
The strikers are very bitter in their
denunciation of the jury which rem
dered a verdict of guilty in the case
of Alexander Scott on the charge of
melting hostility to government.
Scott was sentenced yesterday by
Judge Klenert to from one to fifteen
years Imprisonment and to pay a
fine of $3.50. A writ of error was
granted to his counsel, Henry Car
lees, of Newark, at Trenton later in
the day.
Speaking anent his conviction Scott
said: why, il am guilty of preach
ling hostility to the government sim
ply because criticise certain actions
of the Paterson police authorities
every editor in the country is guilty
who ever had the temerity to criti-
else the actions Of any police depart
ment. My paper will be printed as
usual pending my appeal to the up
per courts, and it will continue to
criticise the actions of the Paterson
police authorities whenever criticism
is justified"
