Coming to Work For Danielson Cotton Company—Twenty-Eight Families Load Household Goods Into Freight Cars. The followin~ of local interest ap- peared in a Worcester paper Wed- nesday: West Warren, Jan. 28—Using every avaflable conveyance, 28 Polish-speak- ing families began loading their house- hold goods into freight cars at the Boston & Albany rallroad station, for Danielson, Conn., this afternoon. The majority are Warren cotton mill op- eratives who have been offered em- ployment by the Danfelson Cotton Co., of Danielson. These people who will Jeave town at once for their new employment, have been offered several inducements by the Danfelson mills, i they would go there to work. The company has ar- ranged to pay the freight on all house- hold goods which are moved, and al- #0 the raflroad fare of each individual from this place to Danielson. Orders were given by the persons connected with the mills in that place to have box cars ready at West War- ren for loading the furniture at once, and with the arrival of these cars here today, loading was begun. Family help seems to be the class of employes preferred, and while the men were loading the goods into the three large freight cars, women and children were bringing small articles from the homes to be loaded. T goods were thrown into the cars re- gardless as to the owners, and as no tags denoting the owners were notice- able, it will be exceedingly difficult for each family te piek eut the right furniture, Weed, eoal, and, in fact, every article used was taken, The strike will be on Thursday, A representative of the Danielson Cotton Co. was in charge of the load- ing. He said: “We supposed that enly a few fami- lies would be willing to leave, and 1 was greatly surprised at the number who signified their intention of leav- ing. T will take them all. We can use them in the new mill which we are try- ing to start” John Bushenza, one of these whe is moving his family to Danielson, said: “Goodbye, West Warren.. 1 no come ten weeks 4 of village. 5 hnt'i,:n t:‘md guess Polish people will Ilkb'% there, all right. ~ Goodbye West W _%; too wguxox; leave here, : Wfl S The ority of those familles who “ii-o from the Patch dis- frem the West End While the strikers were loading telr furnttyre, thelr leader, Joseph u-mm{e- udlow, was locked up In e eel on_Albany ' street. < Markiewcs was arrested by Chief of Police Clarence L. Thompson, charged Wwith assault on Miss Mary Purkenzia while she was on her way to work this noon. Miss Purkensla was about to cross the street from her home Patch street to enter the mill yard, when, it is alleged. Markiewcz erabbed the wo- n and spoke to her in low tones, and the women was secu Lu pull away from the man and return to her home, where she sought assistance and went into the mill without further disturbance. The woman complained to Officer Thompson, who had a warrant issued for Markiewcz's arrest, and he was at once taken to the Albany street deten- tion room. Late tonight he was un- able to secure bail. HEARD NOTED' SUFFRAGIST. Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw Was Speaker at Meeting ~ Arranged by Danielson Women. Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw, noted suffra gist leader, talked to’ several hundred people in the Orpheum theater Wed- nesday evening. The storm did not keep away many who wanted to hear her, and all that came were well repaid. Dr. Shaw talked about one hour and a half. Miss Emily Plerson, state or- ganizer, followed Dr. Shaw. She ex- plained the system and routine that must be followed in getting a resolu- tion to the house of representatives in Connecticut before a referendum can be gotten before the people for a constitutional amendment allowing women to vote on equal terms with men in this state. With that plan in mind, she announced that petitions would be circulated through the audi- ence for signatures. Miss Pierson also announced that this (Thursday) after- noon there is to be a meeting at the home of Mrs. Rienzi Robinson for the purpose of organizing a branch of the Equal Franchise league, The organiza- tion will be followed by an informal reception for Dr. Shaw., who is to speak at Putnam tonight. Dr. Shaw was. introduced by Mrs. Robinson, who said it had been one of the dreams of her life to have Dr. Shaiv talk to a Danielson audience. Dr. Shaw said there was nothing unfair or revolutionary in the request of women for the right to vote. She defined a republic im its purest form as a government in which all persens of equai preparation should have a right to vote on equal terms We are here, said Dr. Shaw, to tell you what the Lord told you in the beginning: “It is not good for man to stand alone.” There is no great revolution in what we propose; it is simply the next logical step in the evolution of a republic out of a monarchy. Dr. Shaw’s talk was cheered at many points and it was evident that her fine argument had driven home. At the conclusion of her lecture she spent some time in answering questions that were handed up to her from the audi- ence. The suffrage workers who are in Putnam this week were busy in the audience during the lecture and recelved a large number of signatures to thelr petition and generous contri- butions in aid of the work they are so valiantly carrying on.
