NEW BEDFORD, Mass,

NEW BEDFORD, Mass,
Sept. 19.-Infuriated at the
enthusiastic mass picketing
demonstration conducted in
front of the Paige Mills by
over 1000 textile strikers despite a
driving rain, a squadron of police,
headed by the terrorist Sergeant
Velho, brutally dubbed scores of
strikers, and fired shots into their
lines in a charge to break up their
daily march back to the Potomska
Hall. Fifteen were arrested,
charged with rioting, and obtained
their release later only after bail of
$500 was provided by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense.
Seize Strike Leaders.
Deliberately removing their rain
coats and taking out their clubs to
get ready for business" the column
of police with Velho in the lead
walked up to where the workers
were forming for the homeward
march. Velho grabbed C. Lamieras
and A. G. Pinto, the last having just
returned from rest home to recu-
perate from police beating in jail,
and demanded parade permit"
When the picket leaders replied,
eve don't need a permit" Velho
shouted to his thugs, "Get the lead
ers"
The two picket leaders were
seized by the police as the line be-
gan to move, and threw them into
the police wagon. Reused to anger
by the way Pinto and Lamieras were
being handled, the hundreds of
strikers surged forward, protesting
against this brutal treatment of
men who were still sick from their
injuries. A concerted dash by the
police, who slugged ,.ght and left
with their clubs and blackjacks in
juring many men and women, was
the answer to their protests. Pinto's
brother was suddenly seen to fall,
bleeding, to the ground.
Club Aged Worker.
Velho himself was chasing with
upraised club after 63-year-old
Frank August, when the thug lead
er suddenly drew his revolver and
fired three shots in the old strik-
er's direction. August lodged and
twisted and thereby escaped being
hit by the flying bullets. Other po-
lice, however, seized him and threw
him into the police wagon.
At the station house on the South
End, the aged worker was dragged
out of the patrol and thrown into a
cell, where he lay for a few min
utes before Sergeant Velho stalked
in, pulled the striker upright, tore
the glasses from his eyes, and beat
him up till August was unconscious.
"We're going to kill you, you bas-
tard!" was what Velho told the
striker before beginning to slug him
into Inconsistencies.
Strikers Bitter.
"Now we'll have mass picketing
again." were the exclamations of
the 15 strikers as they walked out
of the court. At strike headquar-
ters, in the streets, everywhere the
strikers gather, this slogan was re-
peated in giving expression to the
tremendous Indignation sweeping
thru the ranks of the tens of thou
sands on strike.

Desert Dwellers
Depend ON Truck
For Food Supply

A motor truck having human life
depending on its regular operation
in the Chilean Desert is believed to
have established record for auto
motive reliability the world over.
The desert is described as not sup
porting plant or insect life.
In this vast waste towers Mount
MonteZuma. 5000 feet above sea
level, on the top of which is an OBJ
servatory maintained by the Smith
sonian Institution for the study of
heat waves at the edge of the earth's
atmosphere.
This lonely station maintains its
only connection with the outside
world by means of a commercial car
which performs tasks seldom equaled
in operating over the Chilean Desert
to a little town of Calama. where
provisions are obtained. Once
week water and food are hauled
from this settlement. and H. H,

wife. who are stationed on top of
the mountain, find the car depend

phere often runs into pneumonia
unless the sufferer is taken to the

Former Students
Who ScOrned Auto
Now Deal in Cars

Back In 1903 two young students
at Lehigh University collaborated in
writing pessimistic thesis which
scornfully criticized the automobile
as "a rich mans toy. a useless in
vention with no future"
Their treatise was based upon
personal experience with several
popular cars OF the day, including
the long-forgotten Knox, which
reared lone and sizzling cylinder
head right up through the floor
boards. But one cylinder or four.
the young essayists condemned the
entire horseless carriage idea as un-
sound. impractical and doomed to
certain failure.

later, both Of the former Lehigh
students are actively refuting their
collegiate conclusions. One of them

Cronin never may develop into
dangerous hitter, but the Ma
- tionals' rookie shortstop prom
ises to become one of the in
field stars of base ball. He has been
fielding in great style for the Harris
horde since he broke into their lineup
in July. But he outdid all previous ef-
forts Yesterday while his club was lick
ing the Tigers for the third consecutive
time in a 4-to-3 battle at Navin Field.
Cronin had seven chances afeld, all
exceptionally difficult and OF important
bearing. and not once did he fail to
make good with his play. His initial eff
fort of the day was the most spectac-
gill at the start of the second session
when he went to the grass back OF sec
ond base, dug up a smart drive with
one hand and without recovering bal
ance nailed his man at first base.
Joe threw for the three outs in the
fifth frame, his last two assists being
made after two Tigers had gained the
runway. He made a brilliant stop OF
Harry Heilmann's hot smash back OF
the middle sack in the seventh when
there were two Tigers on the path. and
heaved neatly to Bucky Harris for
side-retiring force-out. And he was
pivot man In the double play that re-
|, tired the Tigers in the eighth when they
threatened to pull the game out OF the
fire.
Cronin's was the brightest bit of de-
fensive work National has uncovered

For seven rounds yesterday the game

berry and owen Carroll. Each side
scored once In the first inning, the Ma

During the next six rounds the Ma

hits and two passes, and he also hit
a batter.
The break came in the eighth. though,
when four hits and CAROLS error en-
abled the Nationals to grab three more

a bunt
Carroll took Goslin's grounder, and
with plenty of time to get West at the
plate threw the ball into the dirt in
