No merchandise was being moved in or out Manufacturing paints, in many instances, were par alyzed for want of coal, railroad sta which could not be, distributed and a general stagnation in business pre- vailed. Only a few express wagons were running, and those, under police protection. At that time strike break ing agencies were at their height. The managers of those agenceis were so clever and shrewd that they were able to convince the employers in Chicago that the strike could be broken in a few days by securing the services of one of those strike break

COTTON SINNERS
 CELEBRATE WAKE"
Historic Lancashire Festival Occurs
 Once Every Twenty Years.

London, Sept. 8-This week is a great one for Preston, the big cotton spinning district in Lancashire It marked the celebration of the wake" or. guild, historic festival occurring only once in 20 years
 The charter for the guild, granted in II7o, provided that such festival be held every 2oth year, and 1t Is for this more modern revival that Pres tonians planned to assemble from all quarters of the globe Hundreds were expected from Fall River and New Bedford, Mass.
 On the last celebration more than 3oo,ooo people from nearby towns and overseas centers visited the festival, and preparations were made to cater to as many visitors this week
 The chief outdoor event, set for Wednesday, was four and one-half mile procession. There also was a three-day historical pageant pro- duced by school children, besides a carnival, a torchlight parade, guild balls, banquets and concerts and the Royal Lancashire Agricultural show
 For the interest of visitors lavish decorations were constructed, inc1ud- ing an arch containing I5,ooo pounds worth of cotton, built by one of the great spinning firms

ing agencies. The employers were carried away with the wonderful pie lures painted by the heads of the agencies, so an agency was engaged to do the strike breaking.
 For each man supplied by the agency to do this work the employers were charged $5. The men who went on strike were. receiving an average of about $2.25 per day. The agency did not pay to the strike breakers the s which it received from the em- ployers It paid the strike breakers at the rate of $3 per day. The agency also charged $7 a day for each guard" and paid the guard $5 per day. The agency could pro- cure but few white men to work in that strike, so most of the strike breakers were colored men who were recruited and brought in from the southern states. The teamsters on strike were aggressive and excitable, so 1t is almost impossible to describe their feelings when they witnessed those strike breakers on their teams, and although advised by the officers of the union to avoid violence, those men, full of strength, vigor and en- ergy, could not always control their feelings, so every now and then one of the colored strike breakers was as- caulted or knocked off the wagon by the strikers or some one who sym pathized with them
 While sitting at a table in one of

ployers, as you very we'll know, ex- cept to make all the money I can, he continued. "1 am now furnishing three thousand strike breakers per day and on every new man I furnish l get a royalty of $5. So the more men knocked off, the better it is for me from a financial standpoint. Now if you will agree to pay me $5 per day per man, I will furnish you all the men you want. to knock those men off the wagons"
 "You mean you will furnish me with men to knock your own men of the wagons and donublecross the em- ployers?" I asked.
 You have some sense, you are practical" he answered. "I told you before, my only object in this game is to make some money. 1 can do a great deal of good and save your members if you will adopt the plan l have outlined"
 It is needless for me to say that told him, "No, I will have nothing to do with you. I do not want you to try to see me again-I have a pretty small opinion of you and every one engaged at your kind of work-I never thought it possible for human beings to get down to such degener- acy, so good day"
 That strike lasted for five months and that strike breaking agency col lected from the employers in Chicago $5oo,ooo. No doubt they collected even more than that amount and charged for men knocked off that were never knocked off at all, so you can understand that had I entered into such an arrangement, 1 would have had no chance to protect our organization from being robbed by such an individual. For instance, he would no doubt have charged me with furnishing 100 men whereas, perhaps, he might furnish only four or five.
 I could not get the thought of this affair out of my mind for days and months and even now, after years, the thing is still fresh in my mind

What is the nature of your business?"
 He said: This strike I am fighting IS a much more serious proposition than 1 thought it would be, but I am making a lot of money and when get through with this affair, it will be my last effort in this direction. I de- spise the work but there is splendid money in it."
 I said: What has all this to do with me?"
 He said: ''It has this much to do with you-your fellows are getting into trouble every day, knocking those men off the wagons; they are being put in jail, paying fines, many of them away from their families for days, several of them beaten up by police, and 1 can stop all of this if you will only agree to go along with me-"
 I immediately became interested, guarding, however, very carefully everything that I said, but asking him how it could be prevented.

 HOLDS BIG PARADE
 DESPITE DOWNPOUR
Labor Day Celebration, Marred By Elements, Carried On

Stamford, Sept S-Despite the downpour on Labor Day, the Stam- l ford Central Labor Union carried out it's program for parade and mass meeting and made such a fine show 1 ing that Stamford's only paper, the l Advocate, didn't print a word about
 the demonstration for fear of calling public attention to the fact that Or ganized babor is still exceedingly alive in this section.
 There were nearly 400 men and about a score of automobiles in line
 but there would have been 1000 or more had the day been fair In fact hundreds who had assembled intend ing to parade beat 1t for home as soon as the clouds burst, while the unions in Greenwich, Norwalk and New Canaan which had intended to par ing too hard for them to leave their towns and therefore they sent their regrets.
 The program called for the mass meeting to be held in Halloween Park but again the rain interfered and 1t was transferred to Carpenters Hall The hall was packed to the doors and most enthusiastic meet ing was held. Brother Mackenzie of the Carpenters union of Stamford and Joseph Tone of New Haven, or ganizer for the striking railroad shop men, addressed the meeting and were very interesting despite the fact that no slang nor slurs were indulged in even against Labor's enemies.
 On the whole it was a splendid success despite the elements and one of which the Stamford Central Labor Union can feel proud. It showed that Labor is solid1y together in this mans town and ready to go to the bat to prove it.
