No Change in Ranks in Lawrence Mills
Lawrence Massachusetts January 23 There was no increase in the number of employees entering the mills on the twelfth day of the strike. Peaceful picketing continued. A notice at the Arlington mill deplored conditions and officials said they would bring questions to the state board for conciliation. The Atlantic mill remained closed indefinitely with weaving and spinning departments confined. A parade of strikers started but dispersed after guidance from wiser heads. Mayor Scanlon and Alderman Maloney left for Boston to confer with the state board. President William Wood of the American Woolen Company voiced hope for wage increases only when conditions improve and offered to meet striker representatives. Former President William D Heyward of the Western Federation of Miners was expected to arrive to aid the strikers in Lawrence.
