B.

Thayer, Sergt W. J. Then the police drove part of the crowd up toward Common at and turned the rest o'f It back Into Essex st and the excitement was over. It ls only fair to say, considering tne reports of iolice actions that have appeared heretofore, that they behaved very well this morning, and that on the whole the crowd was also well behaved. There were nine arrests, four of them women, but that was not a large num-bet In a crowd that numbered probably 10,010 and that was out for the avowed purpose of picketing.

In Rolice Court, punishments running from $5 fines to $100 fines, the latter being the maximum sentence for Intimidation, were imposed. One. prisoner, wiw only a few days ago w-aa fined $26 for carrying a dirk, waa given two months in Jail. At tne Btrike committee meeting this morning manv delegates reported that their nationalities would refuse to return to work unless the settlement of the strike included the release of Ettor and Giovannittl. They are held without ball for their' appearance before the Grand Jury neX month.

LIEUT COL JOYS NON-COMMISSIONED STAFF. IN THE Mil I i I pl V-UJ-r C. QUIT SUDDENLY AT SOUTH BARRE Nearly 700 'Strikers Earade Streets. Made No Demands oj Agent 1 for an Increase. He Feels They "Are Crazed Lawrence Affair.

BARRE. Masa. March 11 Nearly 700 employes of the Barre Wool Combing Company's plant at South Barre walked out on a strike at 11:40 this morning and have been parading the town and marching with flag and banners. Supt R. G.

Thompson of the mill says that the strikers stopped without any notice and without making any demands whatsoever. He believes that dissatisfaction with the wage sle and the Lawrence strike has affected the cosmopolitan makeup of the men and women employed in the miUs. "There is a strike at the Barre Wool Combtfig plant." said Mr Thompson this afternoon, and I have nbt' been able to find out what the cause of the trouble is. I have asked the strikers to send delegation to me' for a conference, but as yet they have vefused to do so. There are about 700 employed in the mills and without my notice, and without making any demands, they stopped their machines and walked out.

They arf acting like a crazy lot of sheep running about the streets shout-ing and waving flags, and I feel that they have become crazed by reading about the Lawrence strike. There isnt a place in the country where the mill hands are better attended to and their interests more carefully looked after. They are well housed and properly paid and the company has always been ready to confer with the help and do all in Its power to assist them. This company was not notified of the general raise throughout New England anl hadnt made any raise, but if other mills have given an increase this mill will, if the help wUl act less line Imbeciles and more like rational beings. The mill men and women employed at the companys plant are made up of Italians.

Poles, Lithuanians. English and Americans, but the Italian element predominates and the Italian are taking the lead in the present strike. TJie strikers seem to have no leader, but are celebrating the strike as a gay holiday. They have shown no disposition to harm the companys property. -At a meeting of the strikers tonight 1 it was decided to ask for an increase of 16 percent in pay and week.

They are not organized, but it is un- 1 derstood that they have sent for a union organizer to come here tomorrow.) One hundred English wool-sorters, who have a. union of their own. met to- night and upon hearing from the strlk- ers that there would be no objectlon'to the wool-sorters remaining at work Was decided to report for duty tomorrow. If the strike lasts a few days their department will hav to shut down. AGAINST PACKERS' MOTION.

CHICAGO, March 11 Government attorneys concluded their argument today on the motion by the defense that Judge Carpenter take the packers case from the Jury and discharge the 10 defendants.

Ihs la Mb rc WILL NOT OBEY AN INJUNCTION Continued From the Klmt Face. any unauthorized persons, wltft reason winning to prevent the disbursement of simply by contributing Jj a fund should bt- able lie up all the nionej in tne hands-of At 01 gan-izvtion. charitable, pnlunthrtic or otherwise?" Air Trautman told of a similar.

In that case ijo strike leaders and strikers were arrested, but hen a hearing was held thera was nothing chat the other side could do and the workers were all turned loose again. He indicated also his belie that, in the present instance, the action was not due simply to the anxiety of contributors as to the disbursement of their gifts, was the work of who wished to delay In any possible way the settlement of strike.

Statement Ready Today. I have not been served withany written notice of an injunction yet. said Mr Trautman. "and as to the account ng, a receipt and a detailed statement will be sent to every' contributor to the fund Just as soon as we can make one oat. Ji has been impos-Siole simply because our shoi and tile immense amount of mail and money that we handle daily at ters.

The statement will be ready not before noon tomorrow. At that 11015 we shall give out ar account Itemized as far as pos-i l.

Jp.

the accounts of supplies purchased. it is not the fa-ulr of the committee if fuilv Itemized accounts cannot be given. Only three of the Lawrence business houses with which we have dealt have furnished us with itemized accounts It is worth explaining that tTie method of furnishing relief lias been first to support and supple sou 1 kurhens. second to give the strikers orders on certain stores for so manv dollars' worth of supplies, leaving the strikers to select their own gooels 'fh orders come back to the committee as voueners. Haywood to Await Much of the service tht has to he paid for ordinarily is given free in this strike; the clerical work for Instance, is unpaid, and four physicians are giving their services free altogetler.

Havwood said that he would make no statement until he had some official knowledge of the granting of an injunction, and he has not yet received that. Neither Mr Yates nor Mr would talk and Mr Bedard could not be reached. George E. Roewer Jr of Boston, attorney for Joseph J. Ettor, arrived In Lawrence Just in time to hear that the whole announcement was a little premature, that no injunction had 'ssued from the Supreme Court, but that a notice to show cause at a hearing on Friday was probably what had been given out.

Have Handled Large Sum. "I should be astonished If ex parte injunctions wereiesued by any Judge in Massachusetts. said Mr Roewer, "especially when the money in Question was being used to feed people. The custom that when a bill In equity Is brought, to give a hearing, an' to requite the defendants to show cause why an injunction should not be issued. But even a temporary injunct'on would astonish me.

"Considerable money Is Involved In this suit In equit today's receipts were about FZ-b. and the toal must run Into six figures. "But when it Is figured that In th beginning 22.0CO people were out work, that a payroll c.f $150,000 a week was absolutely cut ofT, that a great many people in no way entitled to it have received strike relief In spite of ail the care that could be taken to scrutinise the applications. It seems unlikely that any great amount of money can remain on hand now. Papers Served In Case.

WASHINGTON, March 11 Extension Of free mall delivery service to villages and small towns throughout the country is being urged upon Congress by Postmaster General Hitchcock. He has forwarded to the Senate and House Committees on Postoffice and Post Roads a recommendation that an appropriation of $100,000 be made to put tbe village delivery service Into operation, providing that no more than a iear he allowed for the work at any single office.

Except on rural routes, delivery, of mail oy earners is conr.ned oy existing laws -to- cities having a population or 10,000 or more, or annual receipts at the Pontofiice at least The carriers delivery service is now In operation in I341- cities and the carriers serve an urban population of 45.0o0.0uG. The rural earners deliver mail on 424,000 routes to about people. This leaves between and 30,000, Cm) people who reside in villages and small towns without any form of free mall delivery. "While it Is scarcely feafble," said Mr Hitchcock toay, to establish free c. livery services in villages and towns on account of the heavy expense, it is entirely practicable to furnish to the po-tmasters at the places a comparatively small allowance that would enable them to employ necessary assistance to deliver maJ at residences of their pairons.

The day begn earlier than usual. At 1.13 a m. a window of Campopianos Italian bank was smashed. The police cleared out the men who were In a Boup kitchen nearby and who had apparently been sitting upall night. There was quit then until 3.15, when three revolver shots were fired, apparently in Elm st.

They iwere taken to be a signal for a gathering of Italians, at Elm and Jackson sts The police and the Militia had both been told that such a gathering would be attempted, before picketing time, and there were plenty of Metropolitan Police at the spot when the first patrons of the soup kitchen, ii-af the eomer, appeared By 6 oclock the biggest picket line the strike lias set was out, and Essex st tarried a thick crowd on each side. For some reason the temper of the crowd of pickets was not as good this morning as It has been, and when a patrolman arrested a woman between Lawrence and Appleton sts, a great crowd came running as if to rescue the prisoner. The policeman drew bis club, but did not use It, though he held tbd crowd with It until other poUoemeb came up. The woman was taken to the police station, -but the movement of the throng had been interrupted, and the pressure at the intersection of Lawrence and Eesex sts became threatening. If there had been, a leader the crowd would have become a mob on the Instant.

Crowdjs Dispersed. As It was. there was another arrest at the corner wituln a minute of the first one. This man had thrown a lump of Ice or half a brick or a piece of wood at the policeman who got him. The prisoners wife dumped in and tried to help him fight the policeman, and aha, tow 'Was arrested.
