TEXTILE PICKETS
PROTEST AT JAIL;
ASSAULTED anew
Others Imprisoned and
Heavily Fined

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 20.
Scores Of workers were beaten and
slugged, three women and six men
were arrested, when large squadron
of imported police, led by Police
Chief McLeed, charged picket nne
of 700 striking textile workers, be-
cause they voiced their protest at
the brutal manhandling Of their lead
ers, Fred E. Beal and A. Dawson,
whom the police had previously
singled out for arrest. This took
place yesterday at the Wamsutta Mil
gates.
AS the nine arrested pickets were
carried to the station house after the
police onslaught at the mill gates, the
hundreds of textile strikers began to
picket the police station in protest.
Again force of police charged the
workers with drawn clubs, severely
injuring many. Three Of the police
We're injured when the workers de-
Tended themselves.
Ever since the textile mills COM
mittee began to lead large picket lines
around the factories the police car
ried on a continual terror of numer-
Gus and repeated arrests of the pick
ct leaders, hoping thereby to dis
courage the workers from continuing
their demonstrations. Directions
given to the pickets in louder voice,
singing or strike songs, or merely
whistling, was sufficient excuse for
arrest, and for the vicious Massachu-
setts judges to sentence the strikers
to long Jail terms and heavy fines.
In arresting Beal and Dawson to-
day, the police head McLeed began

Isidor Winnick, business agent, and

Joint Council of the International
Furriers' Union, have been suspended
as officials by the McGrady clique in

meeting the four had aligned them

The suspended officials had pre-
dicted at the mass caucus meeting
that the Forward" clique in power at

FIGHTING Still.
ON IN Greece
Official Censorship Is
Concealing Facts

ATHENS, June 20.-With clashes
continuing between the workers and
the police in many sections of Greece,
the whole country is eagerly waiting
for the declaration of a general strike.
Estimates of the dead and injured
during the fighting which is still 60
ing on are not yet available owing to
the extreme censorship which the gov
ernment is maintaining, but it is
known that they are heavy, especially
in the north where pitched battles
have been announced in some cities.

here in the steady gathering in Of

Without principles on the basis Of

appear to be seeking Smiths defeat

approach to platform against Smith
is that of the drys, who are as d.

BRENNAN PLANS

May Try to Separate

SCRANTON, Pa, June 20.-The
first step towards what is believed
to be plan for separate anthracite
miners union has been taken by the
Brennan Nc Gary Harris forces which
yesterday issued a statement which
they hope will be accepted as a de-
fiance of Lewis. The statement is in
reply to the recent letter Of Lewis
which declared that the recent re-
dictionary Brennan convention was ell
legal" The Lewis reply is called Sin
sulting" by the Brennan gang.
So far the Brennan McGary- Harris
misleaders who have been expelling
rank and file miners from their meet
ing in approved Lewis style have been
crawling on their knees before Lewis
in the hope that they would be ac-
cepted by the arch union-wrecker in
the place of Cappelini. Now it is be-
lieved, they may attempt to form a
separate union of the anthracite but
the rank and file miners, it is known,
will refuse to follow any policy of
separation from the bituminous
miners.

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, June 20.
Five miners were killed, and fifteen

day when a gas explosion rocked the

The scab mine is owned by former
U. S. Senator Davis Elkins, million
aire republican clubman of New York
and Morgantown, and ]. B. Hanford
another open-shop capitalist. The
gas explosion which occurred this
morning as a result of the willful
failure to rockdust the mine is the
fourth explosion which has occurred
here during the last seven years.
Explosions and rock falls in open
shop mines during the past month
have resulted in the death of nearly
three hundred coal diggers, the largest
toll being that of over two hundred in
West Pennsylvania. Evidence is ac-
cumulating that the open-shop opera
tors, increasingly Indifferent to the
lives of the miners, are violating every
safety precaution. A so-called ''in
vestigation" which was due to follow
the Pennsylvania disaster has thus
far failed to materialize.

 No more will it be practicable for congressman to say that Alas ka is inaccessible and that it is necessary to take two vears to tour it, because this recent trip of the Governors will stand as record for years to come.
