THOUSANDS OF
WORKERS QUIT
IN new YORK
Strike For
Condemned Slayers Is
Called.
Ply PAUL w. WHITE
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-On four
platforms in Union Square labor
orators stood today under the heat
+ an unsympathetir' sun and reiter.
atcd the desperate and probably flu
tile plea that earlier had taken
workers to number estimated as
high as 100000 from their jobs.
''Sacco and Nanzetti must not
die came from raspy threats, one
speaker after another risking
hoarseness to shout the cause OF
justice as he saw it for the shoe
worker and fish peddler condemned
to death in Massachusetts.
BY 2:30 p. IN. an hour and half
before the scheduled mass meHng
in Union Square, fully 10000 per
sons had gathered to protest the
double electrocution. But the crowd
was orderly and the presence Of
1000 police shaded the enthusiasm of
the demonstrators.
The number of strikers was not
known and could only be guessed.
Edward LevinsOn, secretary of the
strike committee, said that reports
reaching him indicated close to
$50 600 had walked out by noon.
East Side Crowded
These were divided as follows:
35 600 clothing workers, 5000 pocket
book makers, 10000 cap workers,
2500 BARRIERS, 2000 needle workers,
1900 brooklyn garment workers,
and $4,000 coat workers.
Streets were thronged with strik
ers in the lower east side. One jew
ish daily issued q strike extra.
Police were on guard near the
dozen halls where the strikers con
gregated to hear speeches holly de-
nouncing the course the law has
taken in Massachusetts,.
Sacco and Vanzetti must he set
free zealot would shrek and
his hearers would take up the cry.
At police headquarters it was de
MED that 10000 workers had en-
rolled in tie strike. An unofficial
estimate put the number closer to
100000.
But the subway bombings of last
week and and the host of threaten.
ing letters received by newspapers
and major office skyscrapers had
made the city iumpy and police
vigilance was increased.

NEW TREATMENT
FOR TUBERCULAR
COWS REVEALED

PORTLAND, Gre, Aug. 9.--What
some physicians called remark
able results from treatment of
tuberculosis in cattle were revealed
here today at strange clinic at
the north Portland stockyards.
Several cows which showed un-
mistakable signs of tuberculosis five
months ago, were slaughtered. At
ter searching examination. three
of the carcasses were passed by a
United States inspector as free from
tuberculosis and fit for human use.
The clinic is being held to test q
treatment for tuberculosis develop
ed by DR., George kirkpatrick, Port
land veterinarian.
Several persons present ut the
opening of the clinic declared they
had been cured by treatments of
DR.. Kirkpatrick.
DR.. T. d. Beckwith, professor of
bacteriology at the University of
California, and DR., J. Traum, pro
fessor of veterinary science at the
same institution, performed the ex-
aminations which began yesterday.
Nothing definite will be known
until laboratory tests are .complct-
ed, E" Beckwith said. cit may take
three or four months before we can
make microscopic tests or properly
examine other animals which have
been inocculatcd with serum from
the glands.
Dir. s. G. Sunnyland, Los Angeles,
specialist on human tuberculosis,
said the absence Of tuberculosis
signs in slaughtered animals, was
remarkable, in view of the fact that
they reacted positively to tubcrcu-
lar tests five months ago.
