BLAME "BOLSHEVIKT"
IN LAWRENCE STRIKE
Central Labor Union Sends Message to
Secretary Morrison Of the American
Federation of Labor - Some
Arrests To-day for In
timidatiOn.

Lawrence, Mass, Feb lI--Alleged at
tempts to iostle mill workers entering
the zone picketed by strikers near the
Arlington mills caused six arrests for in
timidation here early to-day The police
reported no disturbances about the other
mills,
While leaders in the strike for As
hours work with "a hours pay. asserted
there was no increase in the number who
returned to work either yesterday or to-
day, mill officials said more were at
work than at any time since the strike
started a week ago.
The Lawrence central labor union is
sued copy of a statement sent to
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, setting forth
what it declared TO be the true cohdi-
tions existing in the city"
The statement says the central labor
union sought and obtained, at the re.
quest of the United Textile Workers Of
America and the American Federation
of Labor, a S4-hour week for the textile
workers, but declares that while nego-
tiations were going on "a group of boil
shevist and l. W. W. propagandists" ar
rived and became active among the nom
English-speaSing, non-organiZed textile
workers, making rash promises and CIV
ing m- American advice"
"They also stated" The central labor
union statement says, that they were
in a position to supply unlimited funds,
which up to the present time has proven
to be untrue
The statement adds that on the advice
Of the central labor union many of the
workers went back into the mills, but
that at present it is unable to meet with
any success in its efforts for the textile
workers because of the trouble and un-
rest caused by these bolshevik l. w. w.
representatives"
In conclusion the statement asks that
the members of organized labor first aid
those textile workers m the cities where
in the employers have refused to grant
the 4S-hour week, rather than permit
funds to be raised for other places with
almost positive knowledge that they
will be used for the promotion Of a polit-
ical propaganda which has for its purpose
the benefit of the Hun and is intended to
create such a condition of unrest in our
country as will make it impossible for
the representatives of the United States
to impose such terms at the peace confer
ence as will, in part, at least, honor the
efforts of our boys who gave their life
blood for the cause of justice and hu-
manity."

-HE world is unwilling that
any shred of information
about the personal life and
public career of Abraham Lin
coin, the wal president and martyr of
now more than half a century ago,
shall be lost. Books and monographs
dealing with the character and the
opinions of Abraham Lincoln multiply
from year to year.
The Boston firm of publishers,
Houghton Mifflin company, some time
ago sent the well-known artist, Lester
Horribly, to Illinois to make a series of
sketches of the places associated
with the memory of Lincoln in his
home state. Some of these drawings
zine, and they appear in the volume,
issued by the publishers named, with
the title 'Lincoln in Illinois," The
writer of this book is Octavia Rob-
erts; she is a native of Springfield,
ILL.,, the city that will ever be associ-
ated with the memory of the great
president.
Excerpts from III book appear up
on this page with one of the Horribly
drawings.
In the volume the reader sees Lin
coin as a young man achieve n of
his first triumphs. The story is well
told, as the following quotation will
show:
Lincoln Steamboat Pilot.
The month is March in the year
1882. The scene is prairie land in
the river bottom of Illinois. When the
spring shall give place to summer, the
prairie will be covered with grass so
high hat the head of a man on horse
back will be barely d~iscernible; but
today a man on foot can be seen plain
ly, from the crown Of his "coonskin"
cap to the edge of his buckskin
~breeches, though cap and feet are
some six feet four apart.
The man who strides along the
road is young-twenty-three years, no
more. He is lean but wiry, a back

that only the hopeful call navigable.
The name he gives the captain is an
unknown one-Abraham Lincoln. The
bargain is struck. The pilots pay for
the round trip from Beardstown on
the Illinois to Springfield on the San
CANON is to be $50. Abraham Lincoln
takes the wheel.
Down the Sangamon.
On and on goes the Talisman, creep
ing down the shallow stream, picking
it's way among the obtruding snags of
fallen trees, avoiding the shadows. If
the young riverman can make this
voyage, the promoters of the expedi-
ton believe that the markets of the
East will be open to Springfield and
the adjoining settlements, for freight
no longer will have to be hauled over
land to st. Louis.
On and on chugs the steamboat in
the bright March weather, past groups
of cheering pioneers, who, lined along
the rivers banks, use their axes to
good purpose to clear distractions in
the way of the first and only steam
boat that ever came up the Sangamon.
The inspirer of the expedition, one
Captain Bogue, a mill owner on the
Sangamon, points out his mill as a
likely landing place; but the crowd on
the shore is landmark enough to the
man at the wheel, who has dwelt dur
ing most of his tw~enty-three years in
lonely places. He looks with interest
at the group of men, women and chill
dren that line the shore, shouting and
cheering in their delight to see a
steamboat come up the Sangamoh.
Many are on horseback, but some
and the youth notes it with interest
profound-are "1ourishing in car
riages." One equipage has a lemon
yellow body, black leather top and
steps covered with carpet that can be
lowered for a lady's descent. Young
Lincoln had not seen the like before.
The readers attention is called to
Lincoln's defeat for the legislature,
his experiences in the Black Hawk
war, his life as a storekeeper in New
Salem, and the romantic episode of
his love for and loss of Anne May Rut-
ledge.
In those days board cost 81 a week
and good Illinois land could be
bought at $1.50 an acre. The reader
moves on with Lincoln to Spring
field; he now becomes a member of
the legislature, and the writer gives
many details Of the life in the CAPT
taI. associated with the home cat the
corner of Eighth and Jackson" and
the events connected with the old
State house, where Lincoln was de-
feated by Lyman Trumbull, and
where later still Lincoln lost the SEN
atorship to Stephen A. Douglas, only
to win the presidency over his old
time rival.

men, and others, still penned their W
