The morning was the liveliest of the
week, and although a number of
clashes between the pickets and those
returning to work occurred no person
was seriously injured.

The Industrial Workers of the
World were able to maintain most of
their strength, many former employes
of the American Woolen Company's
mills still remaining out. It is estima-
ted that about 3.000 strikers have join-
ed the operatives at work In the Law-
rence mills this week. but many of
those who went back were not meni-
i’bers ofthe Industrial Workers.

The most serious occurrence this
morning was at the gates of the Arl-
ington Mills, when an Italian on his
way to work was assailed. The as‘
wheat was arrested. Nearly all of
the arrests were for minor offenses.
