Attention of election officials is being
called to the duties required of com
missioners and clerks at the various
precincts by the office of the secretary
OF state, with view TO eXpediting the
November election results. The states
election laws contain explicit direction
as to the duties to be performed by
these officials and as to the promptness
with which they are TO be performed.
but at the primary there were numer-
Gus complaints that these directions

TEXTILE STRIKERS
CHEER THE POLICE
Thousands of Workers and
Sympathizers Hold Silent
Parade in Pawtucket.

PAwruCxEr. Feb. IS (Associated
Press) Hearty cheers for the police
from the thousands of textile strikers
and sympathizers who had tramped over
the snowy streets gave a novel turn to
the brief open air meeting that followed
the so-called silent parade" here to-
day.
IL want to thank the Pawtucket po-
lice," said John It. Burns of the car
mems union. marshal Of the parade.
I'VE got our permit without difficulty.
They managed the traffic arrangements
efficiently. / want especially to thank
the sergeant and the two patrolmen who
marched over the whole route with us.
Sometimes the police have to perform
disagreeablc duties. but their hearts are
in the right place. and down in their
hearts they are with you and me-"
The cheers followed his remarks.
The parade, II not precisely silent, was
unusual. 1t formed on East avenue, in
front of the hall used as strike head
quarters fer the Blackstone Valley.
There were no bands. no uniforms. no
decorations, no placards, although a fe W
of the men wore yellow tags, on which
was scrihbled Don't be yellow" The
marshal strobe ahead bearing large
American flag.
Directly behind him marched several
hundred women and girls Some OF these
carried small flags, which they waved
With enthusiasm; others waved hand-
kerchiefs. Hats and caps and sweaters
of green and red and other colors bright
ened this section OF the long line. The
rest was somber Men and boys in every
day garb walked three and four abreast

but all did their best to keep In line.
Although the original idea had been for
a silent demonstration, laughter and
chatting were continuous, but when one
youth lighted cigarette there were In
slant shouts of mo smoking in the
line" and he threw it away.
Across the Blackstone River and up
into the handsome residential district
on the hill to the south the marchers
went. Then they circled back to the
business section. went straight to the
railroad station, paraded in front of It.,
wound about the little park at one side
and finally massed in the railroad
square.
In the center of the city the sidewalks
were llneu with OnlOokerS VINO gave lie-
quent cheers especially for the girl
paraders. Only a few of the sEecta-
tors followed the line over the hill and
once or twice these attracted unfavor-
able attention from the men in the line.
There were cries of Get out in the
street" and Hey. you scab in the brown
derby" and See the spotters." but for
the most part the paraders were in good
humor.
They cheered the marshal as he ad-
dressed them. cheered the police and
the Pawtucket Central Labor Union,
which originated the idea of the
parade, and were especially vociferous
when Organizer John ]. Thmoas of the
United Textile Workers of America as
sured them that the Blackstone Valley
strikers were going to win their fight
against reduced wages and increased
working hours.

KING ALBERT CALLS
1O6TH CRACK BODY
Message From Belgium Read at
Brooklyn Dinner of Rcgi-
ment Attended by 1000.

Two thousand persons. including high
officers of the army. the navy and the
National Guard. were in the armory at
Bedford and Atlantic avenues last night
at the sixtieth anniversary dinner Of the
Twenty-third Regiment, now the 106th
Infantry.
The history of the Brooklyn regiment
was reviewed by the speakers. among
whom were Col. Thomas Fairservis
who was POSTMASTER; the Belgian Am
bassador. Baron de Cartier de Mar
chienne, and Senator Calder.
Baron de Cartier. after praising the
work of the regiment during the war;
rsad the following message from Albert
King of the BelgIans:
II welcome the opportunity which is
afforded me by the sixtieth anniversary
OF the 106th Infantry, to convey to the
members of this crack regiment a token
OF my esteem and friendly admiration.
The 106th Infantry. which during the
war was Incorporated In the Twenty
seventh American Division. fought at
Mount KENNEL, Vierstraat, Dikebush
and Scherpenberg, and gave proof not
only Oh It's nigh military qualities but
also of it's endurance and patriotism.
Belgium is proud that the heroic
deeds of this regiment have been per-
formed on her soil. She will forever keep
the memory of, the sacrifices made by
the gallant American soldiers, in order
tc liberate her territory and contribute
to the victory of right over iniquity."
Senator Calder. discussing the recent
conference in Washington, said that
Americas moral force is greater to-day
than ever before. He said in part:
1T has remained for President Har-
ding to formulate practical plan for
the cooperation of the nations to cut
the costs of armaments. to remove
causes of friction that threatened war
in the Pacific and to establish peace in
the Far East. The Influence of our
nation compelled Europe to do at WASH
ington what it had refused to do at
Versailles. This is moral force, and in
moral force America leads the world
to-day"
Just to keep the records straight, it
was announced last night that 5000
loaves of bread were served at the din
ner, which was heralded as 1.-THE biggest
dinner Brooklyn ever had" Also, there
were 1000 pounds of beef, 100 gallons of
coffee. 100 pounds of soup and 5000 as
paragus tips.
