PATERSON, N. j., May 2s.-De-
tectives under Captain John Tracey
redoubled their efforts today to find
the men who have been threatening
the silk manufacturers with death.
Patrolman Dermond found another
Aronsohn placard pinned to tele-
was written: "Aronsohn wants us to
go back to the four-loom. He must
be killed."
The police have so far been unable
TO discover the source of these
threats, which have been following
one another in rapid succession.
The I. w. w. leaders are deter
mined to stave off the break in the
ranks of the strikers which has now
been imminent for some time. BY
reason of their alert secret service
they have been able so far to pre-
vent the $500 English-speakng
broadsilk weavers from meeting to
consider the matter of returning to
work Now, however, the manufac-
turers have offered the insurgents
among the strikers any mill they
choose and the protection of armed
detectives for their meeting.
When representatives of the $500
attempted to hold a meeting yester-
day in Probst Hall several hundred
members of the I. w. w. stormed
the place and drove them out.
Another attempt was made to meet
IN the Labor Lyceum, but the I. w.
w, as usual. knew of the meeting
through it's underground channels of
information. That meeting too, was
broken up.
The men who are said to be plan
ming to go back to work and who
may do so on Monday are independ-
ent workers from the plants of the
Empire SILK Company, Davis Silk
Company, Kattermann & Mitchell,
Doherty & Wadsworth. Dexter &
Lambert, Paragon silk Company,
ITill Silk Company and MeCollom &
Post.
In case they do attempt to go back
there are bound to be strike riots.
Chief of Police BimsSn said today:
~ '.It Is the inalienable right of every
person to labor and any attempt to
interfere with that right will be firmly
and effectively dealt with by the po-
lice department. We are amply and
fully prepared to cope with any emer-
gency which may arise
Samuel Young, a special policeman,
was lured into a hallway on Mill
street and beaten. Detective Mich
olas De LUCIA arrested John Ma
guire, who was held without bail up
{ on a charge of atrocious assault.
Harry Gunther, an Erie railroad de-
fanffUo ordnrd f7ua man fa laws fhn
Erie bridge, near the Weidmanp dye
shops. They attacked him. He was
being badly beaten when other detec-
tives rescued him. The five prisoners
were held in $500 bail apiece.
NEW YORK, May 29.-children of
striking silk workers i'm Paterson,
who have been brought to New York
to be cared for in the families of
workers, were taken to the Church OF
St Marks 1.-THE Beuwerie'' yester-
day in relays, and addressed by the
Rev. Irwin Tucker, a Socialist clergy
man. The children numbered about
two hundred in all and ranged in age
from to 10 years. They were in
charge of Miss Florence Greer, Miss
Louise Tuxbury and others.
Between addresses the children par
took of ice cream and sandwiches.
Mr.. Tucker asked the children who
believed it was an outrage on the
part of the Paterson authorities to
close the halls to the strikers to hold
up their hands. The very young chill
dren watched to see what the older
children would do, and all held up
their hands.
After the addresses and ice cream
and sandwiches were digested the
children were taken back to their
temporary homes.
