may employ ''peaceable persuasion" with
their fellow workmen, but anything in
tho nature of physical obstruction is pro-
hibited. In addition the picl<ets must
wear distinguishing brassards on their
arms.
The United Shoe Workers Immediately
picketsd the Tuttle-Jones factory. but in
addition caused a small army of some
1900 men and women, employees OF the
closed shop factories enjoying a forced
layoff TO parade in silent protest around
the plant. They carried placards and
otherwise emulated the Irish sympathiz-
ers OF New York, Washington and Bos-
ton.
The Tuttle-Jones people naturally
complained to Mayor w. II. Creamer
about this procedure and that official
ordered the police force TO keep the
streets clear Discussing that phase of
the industrial trouble, Mayor Creamer
said to THE NEW YORK HERALD repre-
sentative:
II was waited upon by a delegation
of the union leaders who argued that
they had a perfect right TO use the street
for peaceable assemblage, but I told
them very plainly that the moment their
rights interfered with the rights of
others theirs ceased 70 exist. l told
them they had exceeded the limits of
peaceable persuasion. and that if they
Gidn't remove their pickets and paraders

TO the scene to do so"
1t is illustrative of the situation in
December and of the control the score
or so labor leaders exercised over the
workers that. Immediately following
Mayor Creamers ultimatum. an attempt
to force his recall was undertaken by
the laborites.

Pressure of Workers on

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
LYNN, Jan. S.-The cloud OF de-
preston that for four months or more
has hung over the shoe industry Of
this city and the people engaged IN
1t, manufacturers and workers alike,
shows signs of lifting. 1t would be
stretching conclusions on the side of
optimism too far to say that there
will be any immediate resumption OF
manufacturing on normal lines. But
there is ray of hope, shimmering.
elusive ray that threatens to dispel
the cloud of inaction and show the
way toward a better understanding
between employers and employees.
This city possesses nothing if not
civic pride. That civic pride has
been hurt by the endurance test
staged between the shoe workers and
their employers to the disadvantage
of both, and, it is feared, to the dis
tinct advantage of such other shoe
manufacturing cities as Rochester,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and
st. Louis, this city's chief competitors

That $4,000 Appropriation.

Considerable Of resentment is felt here
by the manufacturers and others over
the impression that unfortunately has
been created in other parts of the coun-
try through incorrect or incomplete news
reports of the Industrial situation For
instance. 1t was widely reported on Dec.
80 last that the City Council had appro-
priated $4,000 to aid the striking shoe
workers. The impression followed that
the city authorities had taken sides with
the strikers against the manufacturers
and were prepared to aid the workers in
their bonus fight.
As has been said, Lynn has lot OF
local pride. That its authorities should
openly cultivate and encourage radi-
calism was something never contem-
plated and the implied suggestion has
made any person whose opinion IS worth
anything reluctant to discuss the local
situation, particularly with a stranger.
What actually happened was that the
city authorities did appropriate $4,000
for relief work among the poor during
the Christmas season. The money was
expended through the agency and organ
iaation Of the local Red Cross, and while
some OF 1t undoubtedly found its way
into the homes Of striking shoeworkers
Il was because the family was in want
rather than because it was Identified
with the shoe industry. The money was
appropriated not for any particular class

where the production OF mems shoes is
the principal industry. The reason. ac-

which arbitration is q recognized method

Leaders Meet Pressure.

Since the incident of Mayor Creamer's
speech the heads of the various locals,
while openly expressing their insistence
on the retention of the bonus as a condi-
ton of ending the deadlock. are taking
a less infiexible position on the question
Of a conference to discuss the situation.
Certain of the leaders have since met
committee of the manufacturers with
representatives of the city government
and the Chamber of Commerce sitting in

submit the question of eliminating the
bonus feature from the peace pact of
last September to "a referendum OF the
workers and the conference broke UP.
Since then the desire to return to work.
bonus or no bonus, is being expressed
in increasing volume and another con-
ference between the labor leaders and
representatives of the manufacturers is
expected to take place within a few
days.
The basis for the belief that an early
return to normally may be looked for
lies in a survey of the conditions the
workers have made for themselves. 1t
is roughly estimated that the workers in
the shoe industry have lost at the rate
of $750,000 a week for at least sixteen
weeks or a total of $12, 900, 600 in wages
since the deadlock began. But the pinch
that would ordinarily follow the absence
Of the weekly pay envelopes has not yet
been felt in its acutest form.

Second Clean of Hope.

Petitions for q special mayoralty elec.
ton We're put and are yet in circulation
among the shoe workers, but up to date
the heads of the various locals who are
sponsoring the movement have been un-
able to obtain the necessary 3,400 names
that would make an election necessary
Meantime Mayor Creamer remains on
the job and is more determined than
ever to combat the radicalism and boil
shevism among the shoe workers. The
apparent breakdown Of the movement
against him is the second CLEAN of hope
70 ran early settlement that is seen by
observers Of conditions here.
A large proportion of the shoeworkers
are not citizens and consequently their
names on a petition looking toward the
removal of Mayor Creamer would be of
no weight. But what the Mayor himself
believes to be an exceedingly healthy
symptom came to light among some of
the workers who are citizens when
Mayor Creamer delivered his annual
message to the incoming City Council.
The Mayor was visited by delega-
tion of three of the labor leaders two
days before the new Council was to be
sworn in. They urged him to allude to
the industrial deadlock in his annual
address.
II did not intend making any special
reference to it," Mayor Creamer explained
yesterday to THE NEW YORK HERALD re-
porter but when these men came to
me the way they did I thought it over
and decided l would. l don't know how
well they liked what I said, but it has
had an effect upon the best element
among the workers, the men and women
who are American citizens and who
I am sure would be willing to go back
to work without the bonus if their labor
unions would allow them. I told the
new Council for the benefit of the unions
that any labor organization that arbi-
trarily determined a question of policy
without a secret referendum among the
rank and file of the organization itself
was a serious menace to the community
in which it exists. And I meant it. The
reaction has been gratifying"

THE LIFE Of GAS MANTLEs
Illuminating Device Should Last 1000
Burning Hours-May Be Destroyed
In Few Moments,

The following facts about gas man

"A good gas mantle should last from
500 to 800 or even 1000 burning hours.

plosion that sometimes occurs when
