Serious rioting occurred when promoters of the 24 hour strike ordered by the Industrial Workers of the World at tempted to compel textile operatives on their way to the mills to join the.' day's d-monstratlon this morning. A dozen arrests were made for attacks on women and men. Some prisoners were found to be armed with revolvers and knives. A crowd of pickets be fore the Everett mills was so threat ening that the police charged, wield ing clubs. Several were injured, one seriously. In another affray a boy was struck over the head with a bottla and knocked unconscious. Labor leaders attributed the disturbance to Irresponsible youngsters. The strike is a protest against the Imprisonment of Joseph J. Etter and Arturo . Glovannatti, labor leaders. whose trial for murder began at Salem today. Fifteen were injured In the rioting. -Of 30,000 operatives em ployed, 12,000 are Idle. Police and paraders fought with knives and clubs yesterday prior tn a demonstration by members of the In dustrial AVorkers of the World. Twjj olllcers were stabbed, a number ot . demonstrators were clubbed and an I. W. W. leader captured after a hard tight and theu freed. Only two arrests were made. On shot was flre. Jfora the ranks of the paraders. 1 Carlo Tresca of Pittsburgh, Pa., an editor who is an organizer of the In dustrial workers, was in custody but gained his freedom a minute or two later. Persons who saw Tresca's arrest said he was rescued by com rades. Tresca with a smile said the police let him go. All of the police professed to be ignorant of the oc currence. , The clash was quite unexpected. More than 20,000 operatives met at the railroad station to welcome 700 members of the I. W. W., who had come from Boston to participate In a parade to the graves of Anna Loplzzo and John Itamy, who were killed dur ing the strike riots Jast January. After the visitors had detrained, an Im promptu parade was started, turning llnally Into Kssex street, the main business thoroughfare of the city. The parade was informal and no applica tion bad been mude for a parade per mit. The. police, notified that the ' peratlves were marching, attempted to end the demonstration. A squad of 2"i otlleers was sent to Essex and Law rence streets, where they threw a line across Kssex stret and awaited the arrival of the procession. Two large banners were carried by the marchers, c ie was Inscribed "the only Justice freedom for Ettor and , Giovanitti." The other bore the words: "Police and militia" and below: "who . killed Anna and John?" When the head of the parade reached the line of otlleers It halted and an argument began. The police notified the marchers that they must disperse because they had no permit. Those In the front rank were endeav oring to fall back when suddenly the marchers In the rear pressed forward, and the mill workers tried to pass the police. They struck right and left at the officers, who responded by swinging their clubs. Many paruders were knocked bleeding to the ground. In some Instances the marchers robbed the olllcers of their clubs and began to beat the police. The latter were forced to retreat Into Uwrence street. It was here that Tresca was seized by officers who started with him towards tne police station nearby. Angered by the arrest ot meir irau- er the crowd made a rush for tne olllcers. The police appeared to be lighting to hold the prisoner, but a moment or two later Tresca was at liberty. During the light two Itulluns were arrested and taken to the station house. As they were being taken through the door of the station a re volver shot was heard. It appeared to have been fired by some one In the crowd, but the operatives cried out that the police were shooting. loiter the crowd was driven througn Uiwrence street and on to the com mon, where the paraders dispersed.
