Tony .Deleo. of 1889. Fairfield ave nue. one of the strikers of the Salts Textile Co.,, who on Thursday, was sentenced to four months in the coun- ty jail for assault, was found not guil- ty of that offence when his case was re-opened and tried for new evil. dence in the city court today.
 The re-opening of the case served to show that DeIeo was not guilty of any hostile action towards Sergeant James O'Neil of the police depart ment The new trial of the case proved to the satisfaction of Judge Frank L. Wilder that Defeo told the truth when he said he had thrown no stones or other missiles at the po- licenen when they had taken into custody Julia Todd, one of the strik- ing women weaversS on Wednesday morning.
 De1eo had been sent to the county jail on Thursday morning, a few brief hours after his arrest. He was talk en into custody at 8 o'clock, haled in to city court almost imme tely on his arrival at police headquarters, and tried speedily. News of this lanusu-

union still working in the plant, who will leave, the strikers say, when there is a permanent organization of the blacksmiths' union made here.
 They regard with some amusement a statement credited to Superintend- ent Dow that they are not skilled. Some of us have worked for 12 years there,'' they said. eff we're not skill ed by this time, it speaks badly for either MT. Dow or for ourselves. We think it is for MT. Dow.''
 That the cornpanys situation is pressing is apparent from the strin- gent measures adopted by the super intendent to gather in the strikers Automobile scouting parties have been sent out to find the strikers and bring them into the plant. Sometimes the men have leaked out through the win dows promptly, on their return. and only a, few of them have consented to remain. But they have been offered better working conditions to stay. but not as good, the strikers claim, as will come to them if they are content to remain with the organization.

Tickets and policemen are station ed near the plant of the Spring Perch Company, following the wa1kout. last Monday, of about 60 of the employees.
 Organization, on the following day, of a blacksniths' union, gave to the strikers an effective medium through which to conduct their strike for an eight hour day with ten hours pay time and. one-half for overtime, and double time for Sundays.
 The. strikers claim that they often have worked for 13 hours a day and sometimes in rush seasons, and got no overtime pay; that they have work ed only a few hours a week in dull seasons; and they say that now with conditions prosperous, they feel they are entitled to their fair share of the profits of the plant. The factory is rushed with war orders for sautorno- bile springs.
 The strikers say the plant, is con- siderably crippled by. the loss of their experienced men, and that while the plant is running. it will not be- able to continue successfully until conces-' sions are made.

 The best bayonet workers in the country are at the Arms plant, ac- cording to MT. Flynn, and che rates Of wages is particularly annoying for That reason ;,
 More than 300 spolishers and allied tradesmen met last night at Concordia hall, 1sS State street, and many re- cruits were taken into the organiza- tion. Men were there from the Arms plants and American Graphophone Go. and a special meeting later was held at which men from other shops were present. Mir. Flynn and Mrs. Fitzger- aId addressed them. George O'Leary, third vice president, is coming here to help in the Arms plant sitnattons
 Asked in regard to the possibility of Vice-President Flynn said: You can say for me that the polishers are fighters and they never quit. When. some of them got a 20 per cent. de- crease in hours they also got a 20 per, cent. decrease in wages, making 40 per cent. in all. They're not going to stand for that It's. up to the executive board, however, to decide what meas ures will be taken.'
