These officials have been. posted for the last few days at the West 80th St. station, where most of those arrested are first brought, and at the Jefferson Market Court, where the hearings are usually held. All the 24 pickets were later dis charged, following their arraign- |ment in Jeffeson Market Court on strike as a the usual charge of “disorderly con- duct.” The entrance of immigration of- ficials is extremely common in labor situations,-.and especially where militant workers are involved.

Prosecution Is Ready. Judge N. A. Townsend, executive counsel, consulted the Gastonia city authorities, and “discovered” that the mill owners, having half a million dollars for pushing through this attempt at legalized mur- der of Manville-Jenckes rebels, and having already a dozen attor- neys, are anxious to smell the burn- ing flesh of their victims, and wish to rush the trial before the work- ing class of the world can be prop- erly mobilized for defense, The special term of the criminal court has therefore been set for the two weeks following July 29.
