Swami Threatens Jerome.

Judge Swami was told what Jerome
had called him and Swami bristled with
indignation. He promised to punish the
former District Attorney for contempt
Of court. declaring there won't be any
fine but ! will give you his cell mum.
Der" However. nothing came of the
threat TO send Jerome to Jail.
That Swami wanted the assistance Of

newspapers. Just prior TO the last

attacked by the Citizens Union il was
agreed that he should appear before the
union men and state his position in
regard to them. The meeting was held

were present. Swann's appearance was
described as n pressing invitation"

He told of his fights against the
traction and gas trusts. He re-
minded his hearers how. since opposing
the demand for increased fares and

into operation. The charges are re-
newed that the mills spread yropa-

the prices of goods, and used it as an
excuse for closing the mills prepara-
tory to the wage cut announcement.
This has been denied by leading mill
men, including William NJ. Wood who
declares that nothing but complete lack
of orders caused the mills to close. The
American Wooden Company mills are
not included in the list of those an

Swami Is AbsOlved.

1t was shown that these men had been
taken to the office of the District At
torney. and there, whether under pres
sure or otherwise. they contradicted
their original stories. Swami was alb
solved on the Delehanty charges that
had been supported by the City Club,
and the District Attorney breathed n
sigh of relief for he had fought hard
to retain the job to which he had been
elected, quitting a 500 a year position
as Judge of the Court of General Ses-
sions to accept election to the post of
District Attorney at $1,000 year.
There was no folly in the move made
at that time by the incumbent of the
District Attorneys office. He had his
eye out for the future. lie could go to
the City Hall as Mayor. his political
advisers told him. but first he must
have a job that would bring him and
his office into the spotlight of publicity
This they figured he could accomplish
In the new place. The old job--a Judge
on the bench-afforded only sporadic
publicity. although il must be said for
Judge Swami that he rarely ever over
looked an opportunity TO press agent
himself
This he did sometimes at the expense
of a defendant. other times at cost to
the juror. and not infrequentIy would
he criticise the District Attorney. On
one occasion he aroused the ire of Will
lam Travers Jerome, who promptly
spoke his views of Swami, calling him
a half-baked judge who holds office
by the grace OF Charley Murphy" Je-
rome at this time was practising at
torney, having had eight years expert
ence as District Attorney and had fire.
auently appeared before Swami in his
official capacity.

KEEPS EYE ON FUTURE
CLASH WITH DELEHANTY

Not unlike John +. Hylan, Mayor,
Edward Swami, District Attorney, has
played to organized labor. Both have
made strong bids for it's support at the
polls. Swami had organized labor's
promise of help. Since it was de-
termned that Swami should not be
elevated to the Supreme Court bench
it would appear there had been a slip
somewhere, and promises made had
not been kept. Ever since Judge
Swami entered public life he has
favored the working men. He has
said so. He has made speeches for
them and to them. He wanted their
votes.
A search of the records of the Court
of General Sessions shows that he got
into trouble because he took issue
with former General Sessions Judge
James A. Delehanty, who had caused
the indictment of a number of gar
ment workers for killing one of their
number. When Delehanty was a men,
Der of the staff of the District At
lOTneV ne ndQ unSuCCeSSIully trleu 10
convict one of the leaders Of this
band. Then he left office, and while
Swami was District Attorney he kept
close watch on the manner in which
these cases were handled.
In consequence of this watch, when
Delehanty quit his job as judge of the
court he caused charges TO be filed
with the Governor looking to the re-
moval of Swami from his post as Dis
trict Attorney. These charges took the
form of q retrial of the issues involved
In the original cases. and former Su-
preme Court Justice George l.. Ingra-
ham heard them at great length. Upon
these and other hearings number of
the witnesses who had supported the
original indictments subsequently re-
canted their testimony.

More Mills to Cut wages.

The Arlington and Pacific mills at
Lawrence are among the important
ones which post a reduction. Fully
5000 employees at Lawrence are af-
fected: about q, 900 i'm the cotton mills
at Lowell are hit, while 5000 others at
New Bedford are similarly involved.
Lowell and New Bedford manufac-
turers announce the wage cuts to be
22Ib per cent. The notices posted at
Lawrence mention no figure, but it is
expected the amount will be the same.
Additional cotton and woollen mills
in various sections of New England,
including the great American Wooden
Company plants at Lawrence and else
where, are expected to follow suit
within the next few days.
William NJ Wood. head of the Amer
lean Wooden Company, has been nom
committal. his only statement on che
situation being to the effect that the
directors of that company have taken no
action as yet
officials of the Amalgamated Textile
Workers of America declare 1t to be the
intention OF the mill employers to bring
wages back to the 1913 level within a
short time.

brings him back, not to the original $50
but TO S2S The mill men have juggled
the figures, but they may yet reap a
whrlwind of industrial strife"
Fall River mills are not included in
the reductions, the employers being
obligated by agreement to call confer
ence with the employees Representatives
for discussion before taking such a step
There is little question that this will
follow and that notices will be posted IN
that city for the $4,000 mill hands 10

The wages OF the textile employee
have almost trebled since 1916. In that
