tile workers who are out in Rhode Island
and Newd Hampshire cities have made
their appearance in Putnam, it was stated
by the police Thursday. These strikers, it
is promised, are to canvass workers in ev-
cry town and city in New England, espe-

Attention was called Thursday to the
need Of carefully checking up the creden-

and generously to this cause, fact OF
which unscrUpuious persons are well
aware, and fake collectors, with no author
ity from the organizations of the striking
textile workers, are expected to follow
in the wake of the real collectors and, in
some cases, 70 come ahead Of them.
All of the many vino will give are being
urged to make certain that their money. is
going into proper hands and that it will
be devoted to the cause for which it is in
tended.
