NARROWLY AVERT
SERIOUS CLASH
Police Have Revolvers and Not
Sticks Ready for Use Against
Paraders.
[Special t." The Times-Dispatch.]
New York, September 14.?Serious
clashes between the pollen and thou?
sands of in' rhbers or arid sympathizers
with tin. industrial Workers of the
World wire narrowly averted during
the big demonstration of protest
against the further Imprisonment of
Ktto rund t/lovannlttl, the Lawrence,
Maas., labor leaders, held here t"
nlght A.s li w a.s a red Hag, carried
by Fred Constgllc, was wrested from
him by the police under the command
oi Captain Daley, and the marchers
were so threatening that the poli< e
at Fifth Avenue and I'ighty-thit rt
Street had their revolvers and rlot
stleks ready for use.
The demonstration In Union Square
was preceded by a double paradt. one
division startuiK from the Labor
Temple in Bast Eighty-fourth Street
and marching down Fifth Avenue, and
th<- other starting from Seward I'ark
and Canal Street and marching up
[ town. The two divisions united nt
Union Square, where the. paraders were
addressed by wtniam D. Haywood.
i Ben Reitmah, Miss Mary Drier and
others
j All of the speeches were of the most
; bitter character and open threats of
reprisals were mad- if Ettor and
Glovannittt are not given a speedy
trial.
Although the parader? carried Amer
Ican flags as well as red flags draped
with black When they reached Union
Square, Reltrhan had all the American
IIa gl gathered up und relegated to the
reari while he ordered the men with
the crimson Standard? to moss In front
of the speakers' stand. When r?
monstrated with for this action. Kelt
mar., who was tarred and feathered

Miss Drier, who was one of th<> Pro?

Vork to the recent Chicago convention
and Is me of the best known workers
In the cause of unionism for women.
In her speech referred to the growth
of unionism among th^ women workers
and said:
Vou people are of that irplrlt sf Jus
tire that fought our first revolution.
ThU demonstration Is one form of thnt
spirit. lively man. woman and child In
America should have Juatlc?. ICtnr
and Glovanhattl are innocent men,
charged with having murdered one nt
their sisters They have bee,:; held In
Jail eight months. We must let the
people of Massachusetts know that we
are watching this case and Intend to
see that Justice Is done."
I lay wood in his speech declared that
although the lawn >f Massachusetts
provide that no person accused of a
crime shall be held longer than six
months without \ trial, the two Uv
rence labor leaders have been In Jail
? Ight months, with no promise that
th-v will soon be released. He then
said:
'These men committed no crime but
they did commit an offense against
capitalism They forced capital to pay
J1 j.0."'0.00a additional to the workers
of New England and to give decent
working conditions and ?horter hours
to the workers. We plead guilty to
that and declare that to get even, capi?
tal hired tools to carry dynamite to a
crowded district and plant It among
women and children. They had done
It before, but this time we got the
goods on them.
"if Ktta and Olovannattl die the-e,

but It will not be among the workers,
remember that. You saved my life

The "Side Table" man of the Charlotte

says;
Here In North Carolina along the line I
of the cotton Industry the figures tell ? i
great story. The State reporM show that I
more than lSa.ofO people are suppoi ting
themselves through labor In the mills and '?
factories. In this Stole there ore 30S cot- j
ton, silk and woolen mills. e,& knitting mills, i
and GSt factorial. It Is noted that a general
Improvement is reported in the efficiency I
of the workers Likewise Is there n general
and marked Improvement along educational i
lines. Education Is not compulsory In this
Stare, but It Is reporlcj that S.", pur cent
of the operatives In the mills and factories ,
can rend and write, and He- Improvement
educationally Is placed at i3 per cent. The
averng? of wages paid Is fairly good, und '
tlie workers In the nulls and factories are
not poverty - in: rdened
Kvery little while some speaker or writ, r
