asserted that prison sentences must be
imposed on smugglers as fines would
moi stop smuggling.
@The smuggling business" he said,

of an occasional fine.
what do YOU think of the calm pro-
posa of the premier of Quebec, who,

of the liquor was sold TO people out

He calculated that IN 20 years the
liquor traffic would wipe out the en-
tire provincial indebtedness.

Manchester, n. H., June 14-Nine
sentences were handed out in police
court today to respondents, on
charges of alleged assault, disorderly
conduct and rioting in connection
wit hthe opening of the Coolidge
mill 10 days ago. The prisoners ar
raigned included five women and
four men. The sentences were most
~ small monetary punishments. and
there was one house of correction
sentence. Children played about the
court room during the proceedings.
A special meeting of the park
commission is to be held to decide
upon a request from the strikers to
hold meetings on the public commons
on week days. The usual Sunday
afternoon meetings will be held to
which there appears to be 70 objec-
tion on the part of the authorities.
Vice President Starr said today
that he had received requests from
some Of the Amoskeag overseers and
second hands to be organized into a
union. and that he stood willing to
organize when the APPLICANTS were
ready.
The usual difference in opinion
exists concerning the number of
workmen entering the Coolidge mill
today. The mill officials report a
gain. The strike leaders report a
falling off.
Quiet prevails in the vicinity of
the Coolidge mill. The returning
operatives come and go to their work
and no crowds whatever gather.
