/ with 1000 holding the cemetery.
They started to rush the mills. They
yelled at the guards and scabs and
threw rocks. Guards turned loose
tear gas and opened fire. The patrol
wagon took two bodies away. So
much confusion workers did not
know who the bodies were. One
was Gorcynski.
THURSDAY morning Green or
dered arrest of all Communists.
Communist Party headquarters in
Providence raided. Sixteen suspected
Communist were arrested. Dozens
Of nickets were arrested on charge
Of being Communists. Homes of
foreign-born were visited by police.
CATURDAY, as usual, went to
" union meeting. Discussed funeral
march for Gorcyuski. Vice-presi-
dent and president of union went
to the home of the dc d
worker Family had been threat
ened with loss of insurance and
money If they allowed funeral
march. Family admitted that the
superintendent of the Guyan Mills
had told the family that the Oldest
boy would not get his job back if
march was held. Polish Chamber of
Labor visited Saturday night. Still
did not consent to march.
Workers at the church the day
Of the funeral. They wanted to
march. So we went over to the
West Side and gathered all the
workers and went back to the
church. Two thousand. four abreo Of
marched down the main drag; 5000
walked after the marchers. The
cops wanted some Of us but were
afraid to come after us.
At the cemetery Jos. Sylvia, leader
of the U.T.W., drove up in his new
Plymouth. We asked him to speak.
He said he did not want to excite
the crowd. Really, he was afraid
they would throw rocks at him.
After the funeral we held a meeting
at the Polish Hall. Editor Of the
Polish paper and I spoke to the
workers.
AFTER the strike the workers who
"a were on the picket line in
Saylesville were blacklisted. When
they went back to work the bosses
asked them all: "You were in
Saylesville, weren't your You must
be sick from all that tear gas. I
think you better go home and rest
and see doctor"
This is the third strike I have
been around. After all the others
the workers said What the hells
the use Of striking?" This time it
is different. They say now: Next
time, by God, we'll know what to
do" They are enthusiastic.

Walter Petras' Strike Diary

waiter Petras is on the Execu-
tive Board of the American In
dependent Textile Werkera Unien,
Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Dur
the three weeks of the textile
strike he kept notes, which are
reprinted below.-Editor's Note
FRIDAY the textile workers here
we're unorganized in either
union. Laran and Wayposen
mills were first out. Small
group of organized loom flxers
brought out all workers in these
plants. After they came out near
by towns were visited by cars and
brought out: Albion, Asdon Man
vile. Tried to call out Ssv'ee7''le
Finishing Mill, but were defeated by
police. Friday the 7th three work
erS were shot.
MONDAY big fight between sher-
lA ifs and workers occurred. Scabs
were locked in the plant and had
to sleep and eat there. Governor
Green told guards to be ready.
TUESDAY workers outside
Saylesville mill were shot
by sheriffs; an old lady 70
years old and two middle aged
fellows. Shooting made the work
ers sore. They closed down every
damn mill in the district. Broke
every window in the power house at
Saylesville. Broke down gate.
Turned over watchman's cabin
which contained fire hose. Used
hose against sheriffs and they began
shooting again.
At 4 o'clock Green sent guards
men. Workers went into the ceme-
terry and began to throw rocks at
guards in defense of picket lines.
Guardsmen began putting up wire
and stakes in the streets. Fighting
began again Tuesday night and
lasted till midnight. Guardsmen
tried to split workers of into small
groups.
Workers took over cemetery as
headquarters. An amature chemist
made tear gas bombs for workers
to throw at guards. Used chips of
monuments to throw at guards. The
workers also had big tire tubes fas-
tened to stakes to hurl rocks. Tomb
stones were barbados.
At night workers made everv car
put out lights, or busted them.
Busted street lights in all strike
areas.
AS fighting went on workers or
ganized into squads. One squad
would rush into the bayonets of the
guards, while another squad would
attack from the side with rocks
and sticks. Thousands in Pawtucket
were made sick by tear gas. Many
workers had to vacate houses be-
cause Of fumes.
WEDNESDAY at 3 O'Clock, 5000
w workers gathered near the mill

OPEN FRIDAY AT HIGH SCHOOL

and George Miller, who plays either
guard or forward, according to Don
w. Ketchen, coach of this outfit.
The varsity held a hard scrim-
mage Monday which raised blisters
On some of the men, and last night
played a practice game with the
Imperial Valley Hardware team. in
which they held the advantage over
the store men from beginning to
end.
The team is gradually working
into the plays given it. the coach
said, but needs a great deal of work
on defense, especially guarding,
which has shown up as a weak
spot in Scrimmage.
Capacity houses with q large
turnout from every valley town, are
expected for the tournament. it was
stated today. There will be plenty
OF seats available for all comers, as
bleacherS are being erected on the
girls floor of the gym, and an ef-
fort is being made TO arrange for
seats to be placed in the balcony.
If all arrangements are completed,
it should be possible to seat a crowd
OF 750 people, according TO infor-
nation received today.
