Special to Daily Bulletin:
Lawrence Mass. Sop? 30. Organ-
ized labor history was written in
blood here today when for the first
time in this country a "demonstra-
tion" strike against imprisonment of
labor leaders took place. After hand
to hand clashes between tho rioters
and police lasting all day the "dem-
onstration" was declared off by the
Industrial Workers of the World. The
1 strike was called for twenty-four
hours beginning this morning in a j
protest against the Imprisonment or
Joseph J Kttor Arturo Giovannltti
and Joseph Caruso whoso trials in
connection 'with the death of Anna
Lopizzo opened In Salem today.
Seven thousand of the 25000 oper
atives In the cotton and woolen mills
here obeyed the call.Jprcing out 25-
000 others either through Intimida-
tion or lack of work because of the
closing down of departments. Then
at a mass meeting late this afternoon
the workers were told to go back to
work .tomorrow ready to come out
again at the call of the Industrial
Workers if the leaders are not satis-
fied with the progress of the trial.
The worst rioting occurred at the
opening of the mill gates this morn-
ing. Pickets armed with revolvers
knives and sledge hammers iron bolts
and other weapons attempted to stop
operatives from going Into the mjlls.
When police Interfered to maintain
order the pickets struggled with
them.' Desperately swinging their
clubs with effect the bluocoats drove
back tho pickets. A score of arrests
were made.
Men women and children on thoir
way to work wore held up and as-
saulted by strikers or sympathizers.
But 0110 hospital case was reported
that of an opcrativo who was-threfwn
headlong from a street car and ren-
dered unconscious. No policemen
were wounded and no shots were fir-
ed. Sam Rodgcrs who has been mana-
ger of the Arcade hag resigned that
position and is succeeded by Miss
Claudlo McNeill who has boon with
Gilliam Bros for n number of years.
Miss McNeill Is a clever business wo-
man and will malto good In the ca-

The memorial services to tho mom-
ory of Mr. Samuel' It Coggin who
died two years ago today were hold
at Daniel Baker chapel this morning.
The exercises wero opened by Pro-
fessor Greer who read the 90th
Psalm and Dr. Junkln offered a
prayer.
Dr. .lunkin then made a few appro-
priate remarks about tlio great good
that Mr. Coggin did towards estab-
lishing Danlol Baker College and
tho custom of tlio Faculty and stu-
Idont body to assemble each year on
this day to pay tribute to his memory.
4This building is named after Mr.
Samuel R. -Coggin. He did a groat
deal towards the interests of this
institution and it is fitting as tho
years go by for tho now students to
learn of this man of his work and
life and know about him and love to
honor hlB memory as wo do." He
then Introduced Hon. C. L. McCart-
ney who spoke in part as follows:
"It Is very fitting and appropriate
on an o'ecasion of this kind that we
should do something to commomo-
rato tho name and the good deeds of
him upon whom wo look as a hero.
Those things appeal to that which Is
best In our nature. Vl

highly respected citizens of the town
and community. Both barrels of a
shot gun wero accidentally disgorg-

and Mrs. Montgomery as they lay
I side by side In the bed at their home.
Mrs. Montgomery died instantly and
Mr. Montgomery was rendered un
conscious and will probably die with
out regaining consciousness.
The story of the killing is a D'ost
singular one its equal has probably
never been heaFd of. Mr. and Mrs.
J. Reagan Montgomery moved last I
Friday from thoir farm two mues
west of Rising Star into the city.
Their son. Clint. 23 years old lived
with them. As was their custom at
the farm they placed a loaded double

it fell. As the gun fell Clint Mont-
