TEXTILE STRIKERS.
CHILDREN'S DEMONSTRATION. (BT CASUS—PEBSS ASSOCIATION—OOPTBIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND S.Z. CABtB ASSOCIATION,) (Received April 16th, 5.0 p.m.) NEW YORK, Aprjl IS. The first attempt to picket White House since the famous Suffragist picketing of the late President Wilson, was made by six ragged children aiding the New Jersey textile strikers. Accompanied by their parents, they arrived at President Coolidge's gateß, bearing banners, on one of which was the statement. "We want to eat. Our mothers work at night and our fathers during the day. Who can care for us?" Another urged that a committee should come to Passaio to "See how we live." The police prevented them from entering the grounds with posters. These were removed, after which the children were permitted to remain for a few minutes in the executive offices with the President's secretary, but they did not see President Coolidge, whose secretary stated that the trouble was a State matter.
