will be allowed to
that the outrage
nass unnoticed.
This is what happened:
Three weeks ago otho strike com
mittee resolved that, while men and
women could live on free soup or
-vcn starve, rather than submit to
the salary out. averaging 12 cents a
week, the children must not and
should not suffer the pangs of hun
ger. For seven weeks now thousands of
the strikers have been dependent for
life necessities upon the union or the
charities of .yn-.pathelio unionolsts
the cnar.trj over. It was a severe
strain upon the resources of the re
lief committee. When the children
began to feel the pinch of want and
it was decided to send them away
hundreds of sympathisers in New
York, Philadelphia and many other
Ities volunteered to care for them
until normal conditions could be es
tablished. Each Saturday the strike commit
tee has been sending little ones out of
town. The mill agents, assisted by
the civil and military authorities,
their requesting simply amounting to
order, frowned on this plan. The
hope of the millowners is that the
strikers will return under the old
conditions w hen the strikers have had
enough free soup. This is common
talk among them. They ordered May
or Scanlan and Marshal SuUivan to
frustrate the child relief plan. A
week ago. an attempt, partially "suc
cessful, was made to keep the little
ones in Lawrence, the police then
contending that the children's par
ents had not consented to allow the
strike committee to send them away.
Saturday this happened: Fifty rag
ged boys and girls each wearing a
tag, were escorted to the depot. Tick
ets were purchased for Philadelphia
or Providence. Fifty mothers, sis
ters and brothers of the children
were on the station platform, or in
the waiting room to see them off.
The train backed into the depot
then quickly a squad of policemen.
clubs drawn, menacingly swooped
down on the party.
You cannot leave town. Get out
of here and go home," the officers
commanded. A member of the strike
committee assured the police that
every child wore a tag upon which
was written the authorization of the
parents.
"That makes no difference," said
the police. "The whole batch of you
i have got to go back."
Some of the mothers started with
their children for the train. The
police shoved them back. And, then
came the soldiers. Stalwart Amor'
can men, in uniforms, carrying rifles
with glistening bayonets drawn, clubs
with lead butts, in their belts, de
scended in majestic military splen
dor upon the pathetic panic stricken
huddle of women and children, rein
forcing the 50 policemen already
present.
The soldiers drew up between the
children and the train. The police
baited The women. If they were
taunting them into violence they
could not have done better. They
were insulting in their language.
"Get out of here you , you
." they shouted brandishing their
clubs. Some of the children began
to cry. One little girl, frightened
half out of her wits, screamed:
"Mamma! Mamma! Don't let them
hurt me.'
KesMing Vonic Ileaten.
Some of the women ran into the
streets, dragging tlcir little ones.
Others, undaunted, stood their
ground. These the police finally
seized. When the women resisted
they were beaten and their clothing
torn. A truck in the street was com
mandeered and backed up to the sta
tion platform. Into this improvised
patrol wagon eight struggling, in
jured women, ten trembling boys and
girls, and five men were bundled
and thus carted off to the police sta
tion like dangerous criminals.
Despite these outrages, the strike
leaders have continually counselled
peace, obedience to law and even sub
mission to unreasonable demands, of
the police and militia rather than
resistance which might lead to vio
lence. Strikers peaceably picketing were
arrested to the number of 10 for "in
citing to riot."

Secretary Davis Hops or tne winum
fa emnlovment commission made
hi thirtpenth annual report. The re
port says there are lOo.OOO men In
Chicago at all times who want work
but cannot find employment. In ad
dition to the unemployed who want
work, the report says, there are 90,-
000 who failed to register to seek
employment.
Calling attention to economic con
ditions, the report declares there "Is
wen nigh universal demand that wo
men be granted equal privileges with
men in the enactment and adminis
tration of law, basing their right to
equal participation in public affairs
upon economic as well as political
grounds."
During the last year 60 000 men
and women found employment in
184 different occupations without fi
nancial outlay on their part and at
a cost to the state of 71 cents per
capita. Since the first offices were
opened In Chicago in 1889, so the re
port says, there were 604.4 89 applica
tions for employment and 611,381 ap
plications for help, of which 520,191
secured employment.

Westminster, Md. A suit between
Mrs. Kosalla Hare and her father,
John L. Calp, over a pot of gold
found on Mr. Calp's farm is now on
trial
While with his grandson, Clarence
Harmon, digging un n stump. Mr
Cuin ! ruck ft ir'.nss lar containing
$1,500 in gold colna.v Mrs. Hare, who
win nicklm blackberries near Dy, as
sisted In counting the go d and carry
ing it to Mr. Calp n house.
The gold was said to be the prop
erty of Joseph Hare, who owned the
farm prior to Its purchase by Mr.
Calp, Shortly before the death of Mr.
Hare, in 1891. he disposed of two
mortgages and withdrew from the
bank a sum approximating $4500 in
gold, for which his administrators
made a fruitless search in all the
hnnli. nenrhv ami In Pennsylvania.
The administrators of Mr. Hare sued
for the money. Tho case was ettlea
by tho payment of $1200.
In 1910 Mrs. Hare, who is in no
u-nv rplnted to the late Josenh Hare.
sued her father, claiming the entire
sum an hers, because she ana ner son
had been present and assisted in tne
finding. Mr. Calp's defense Is that
he alone found the money, that it
was on his farm and that his settle
ment with tho Hare estate secured to
him whatever title the heirs may
have had in the find.
