STRIKE AT GOLT'S AND OTHER PLANTS (Continued frem First Page.) pair work are union men. The Hen- dey employes are non-union men. The announcement that the Ameri- can Brass company had increased the pay of its employes ten per cent. and had adopted a fifty-five hour week with time and a half for overtime, was received with interest at the Coe -~ Brass Branch here. It is uncertain Yet whether the Coe Brass employes will accept these concessions. The awards were not made until after the Coe Brass men had presented a peti- tion for a fifty hour week, twenty per cent. increase in wages, time and a half for overtime on work days and double time on Sundays. An official of the company stated today that the " Boe Brass men were greatly pleased with the company’s concession and had accepted them. A number of the employes, however, expected that a meeting would be held to decide whether or not the offered conditions would be accepted. " Employes of the Excelsior Needle company and Standard company have prepared petitions asking for in- creased wages and a shorter work day. They will meet Thursday night to take action on the matter. Important developments were ex- pected today in the carpenters’ strike. The contractors had requested a meeting with the carpenters’ commit- tee, which was scheduled for 11 o’clock this forenoon. 100 Women Quit. New Haven, Sept. 8.—Women em- ployes of the Columbia Hosiery com- “pany in this city, to the number of one hundred, struck today demand- ing an increase in wages. Yesterday fifteen girls employed as clerks in the company’s office quit because an hour a day had been added to their time, bt this grievance was settled today. ree officers were stationed at the factory to preserve order. Moulders Helpers Out, Derby, Sept. 8.—Moulders helpers at the Birmingham Iron Founlry to the number of 100, where the ma- chinists are out struck today de- manding 25 cents a day increase in wages. They declined an offer of a ' ten cent advance- . » . i ¥ Quiet in Bridgeport, " Bridgeport, Sept. 8.—Labor condi- tlons were quiet here today- The trouble at the Remingfiton Arms and Ammunition company’s plant grow- ing out of claims of bayonet work- ers that their wages had been cut is \1ikely to be settled without a strike. A notice was posted for the night shift at the plant of the Locomobile company of America last night lengthening the hours of that shift | 8ix a. m., or the equivalent of ten rs a day. The men claim they id an agreement with the late Sam- uel T, Davis, Jr, manager, that the eight hour day would apply to night »gen. Demands have been made at the Max Ams Machine company, in Fair- field, for the eight hour day without a cut in pay- The company employs 150 skilled men of whom about 100 are machinists: G. J. Bowen, business agent of the machinists local looks for an adjustment. Conditions at the Crane plant No. 2, in the west end, at the railroad freight houses and the Lake Torpedo Wempany are unchanged. » Allege Discrimination. Springfield, Mass., Sept. 8.—Alleged discrimination against union members resulted in a strike of 200 machinists and tool makers of the National Equipment company of Brightwood Roday. The strike was called in a meeting of 100 workers last nighy ‘and the ranks were swelled to 200 _today. The men now demand an ‘eight hour day, time and one- or overtime work and the uncon. (tional reinstatement of eight union ‘men who were recently discharged. <\ S No Settlement in Sight. Albany, N. Y, Sept. 8.—Prospects that an agreement might be reached between the 1,600 striking employas of the United Traction cvompany here and in Troy and the officials of #the road were remote today. No ar- rangements for a conference between representatives of the men and officials had ben made, though state mediat- ors were sti'l trying to get both sides to agree to another conference. ‘After the third conference broke up yesterday it was sald that the strongest hope for a speedy settle- ment was to ask William D. McMa- %hon, international president of the Amalgamated Association of Street and FElectric Railway Employes,’ to come here and endeavor to end the strike. Whether, he would do this and whether he had sanctioned the strike could not be learned. Mayors Burns of Troy and Stev- _ens of Albany also were expected to offer their services within a day or twd in attempting to end the strike, it was said. Whether the employes on the city lines and interurban cars running out of Schenectady would strike in sym- pathy with the local men was a mat- ter that attracted a great deal of at- | tention from hoth union and railway @/ficials. No mceting of the Schenec- " tady employes, it was said, would be held until Thursday night. Whether the question of striking would be con- sidered then none of the union of- ficials would say. INSPECTING HOUSES, The sanitary department of the health commission is making a s Sematic investigation of two-famiy houses. The purpose is to see whether the owners are living up to reguations: of the state tenement ouse laws regarding the conditions lavatories, piumbing, etc. Clarence G. Watkins. Clarence G. Watkins, president of the Manchester Trust company, se- nior member of the firm of Watkins Brothers of Hartford and Manchester and a prominent resident of South Manchester, died at 'his home in that place yesterday afternoon. Mr. Wat- kins had a state wide acquaintance and was well known in this city. He was a merber and trustee of the Sec- ond Advent church of this city and with his family regularly attended the services, coming .each Sunday from his home in South Manchester. Mr. Watkins was a native of East- ford, this state, but when a boy of twelve moved with his parents to Manchester. In 1874 he and his brother, Iix-County Commsisioner Er- nest F. Watkins, entered the furni- ture and undertaking business under the firm name of Watkins’ Brothers. They were very successful and built up a large business, within recent years opening a branch store on Asy- lum street, Hartford. Mr. Watkins was prominent in the public life of Manchester, serving for nine years as first selectman and also rep- resenting the town in the legislature. He also served one term as select- man under thc new form of govern- ment adopted by Manchester in 1908. Mr. Watkins was a man of sterling character and was possessed of a kindly nature.

SUN BEGINNING TO SHINE FOR GILDEA Stranger Harbored by Local Charity Organization and Is.Sent on His Way Rejoicing. The world looked dark and dreary for Edward Gildea when he applied for assistance at the New Britain Charity organization yesterday after- noon. When he left a short time later it had gained an entirely different aspect and was a grand old place after all. According to the story told to Miss Elsie Osborne’s assistant at the or- ganization, Gildea had left his wife and three children in Chicopee bound for Hartford, where a position had been promised him at his trade in a rubber factory. When he left his home he had but $1.50. On arriving in the Capital City he went to the fac- tory where the position had been promised bBut much to his disappoint- ment he learned that his services were not required. With a heavy heart he left Hartford for this city, where he learned that positions were ‘open in a number of local factories. As a last hope Gildea asked for as- sistance at police headquarters and he was referred to the charity board, which in turn sent him to the charity organization- He told Miss Osborne’s assistant a straightforward story of his hardship. If he could only secure enough money to convey him to New Haven he would be able to secure a posiiton in the I, Candee Rubber company of that city. He said that he had worked there a number of years before and named the superin- tendent without the least hesitation. Upon inquiry it was learned there was a superintendent at the place with the name given by Gildea. Fur- thermore if Gildea came there at once a position would be given him at his trade. Words could not express Gildea's gratitude. The man seemed to be almost overcome with happiness and’ his face beamed with joy. He was given a good supper by the charity organization and an order for a ticket to New Haven. It was also arranged to have him secure a night’s lodging at the New Haven Charity or- ganization. When Gildea arrived here he only had only two cents left in his pocket and with this he secured a twa-cent stamp and at once dispatched a letter to his wife and family informing | them' of his good fortune.

LOCAL ITALIAN IS THIRSTY FOR WAR Edson Street Man Just Longing to Charge the Only With His Bare Knuckles, Enemy Even .If The fears that Michael Mauro of Edson street has been entertaining for his nephew Daniel Mascelo, who enlisted several months ago with the Italian army, were entirely banished yesterday when he received word from him that he is safe- Mascelo is very optimistic in his letter concerning the future of Italy and he is positive that his country will conquer. ‘When the call for reserves was sent to this country Mascelo, who resided with relatives on Edson street, was one of the first patriots to leave this city. A few days before the faurth of July he laid aside his work at the Corbin Cabinet Lock company and bidding his many friends farewell left for his native land. On his arrival in Ttaly, the young man states in his letter, he reported to headquarters. He was given a short leave of absence to pay a visit to his parents. On his return from the visit he was enrolled with the Sixty-Third regiment of infantry, which at pres- ent is training at Naples. In a few more days, he writes, he will leave for the front, which is the ambition of his life. RECEPTION TO GRAND MASTER. Both Lodges of the Order of Vasa to Entertain Harry A. Lund of Minn.

Prior of the public amusement commission is planning to hold dances in the public school buildings this coming winter under the auspices of the Parents and Teachers’ associations. Mr. Prior said today the tango and other mod- ern dances would be permitted ir done properly- Otherwise the oi- fenders will be ejected. This may bring up the problem of when is a dance objectionable? The council made an atiempt some time ago to sift the wheat from the chaff and o regulate dances but after several meetings of a special committee had been held the matter was abandoned. BANKER Bridgeport, Sept. Knapp, who was president of the banking firm of Burr and Knapp, which went into the hands of a re- caver last September, was arrested this afternoon, in a civil action. ARRESTED. 8.—Herbert M. GOLD SHIPMENT OVER 19 MILLIONS Total Value of Three Loty of | English Securites $160,000,000 New York, Sept. 8.—Great Britain's third shipment of gold to the United States within five weeks, placeq to- day in the sub-treasury here, amount- ed to $19,465,000 and not approxi- mately $66,000,000, as reported yes- terday from Portland, Me., according to an official announcement made to- day by'J. P. Morgan & Company, the consignees. No statement was made officially ag to the value of the American securi- ties accompanying the gold, but these were reported to be worth approxi- mately $30,000,000, making a total value in the shipment of about $50,. 000,000. The gold in the shipment consisted of American eagles to the value of $7,850,000 and 2,390,000 English sovereigns, amountinf to approxi- mately $11,615,000. A plausible ex- planation for the error yesterday "in announcing the value of the ship- ment was found in the latter item, the total-dollar value apparently be- ing given as pounds. This makes the total value of the three shipments sent by Great Britain recently to Halifax on warships and then transferred by rail to New York approximately $150,000,000. Whatever the balance due may be, it was still large enough to send the rate of sterling down again today to $4.62 1-2 at the opening, a loss of half a cent over night. This is 24 1-2 cents below normal. The Anglo-French commission of finance on their way here to arrange terms for a big credit here, were be- lieved today to be nearing American shores. J. P. Morgan & Co., have been noti- fled as to the ship bringing the com- mission and the probable time of their arrival here.

German aviators have hombarde.d towns in France, and aviators of the allies have thrown down bombs at Ostend, as far south Germans Take Wolkowysk. Berlin, Sept. 8, via London, 3:50 p. m.—German forces that have been engaged in battle with the Russians in the district north of the Bieloviezh forest have captured the city of Wol- kowysk, it was announced by Ger- man army headouarters today. BEER FANINE STRIKES GERMANY Army Requires So Much That Natives Must Go Short (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press) Munich, Germany, August 25.—The shortage of beer in Munich, the home of many famous brews of the dark Muenchener beer, is now very real. The decreased production has not only causéd a jump in prices, but has pro- duced here a semi-drought that ap- parently has not, been felt so keenly in any other part of Germany. The recent proposal to cope with the problem by closing cafes as early as 9 o’clock instead of midnight provided all Germany with a laugh | at Munich’'s expense, but it was no laughing matter in Munich. Few, if any, of the cafes had sufficient al- lowances of the beer supply to keep things running after 9 o’clock. Karl von Koelcker, a member of the council of the state ministry of Bavaria, and a life-long Muenchener himself, had this to say about the resignation of the people to the re- stricted beer measure: “If anyone had had the temerity to tell a Muenchener one year ago that in August, 1915, he would be restrict- ed in his allowance of beer, that he would have to go home thirsty at 9 o'clock, and that the whole city would be enduring a semi-drought, that man would either have been told that he was crazy, or the Muenchener would have replied that he would never sub- mit to any tampering with one of his necessaries of life.” Notwithstanding, the Muenchener today wends his way homeward at 9 or thereabouts, without a grumble at being deprived of his accustomed al- lowance of beer. The authorities have grappled with the really serious beer situation with characteristic thoroughness. With an exact knowledge of the production of the Munich breweries and the pro- portion that must go to the army, they have simply stepped in and regulated the disposition of the balance. | of fare. | yan Refining company. | Cebu as a tempest in a teapot.

FINANCIAL NEWS CROP REPORT STIMULATES BUYING Short Covering in Late Hours— Close Steady New York, Sept. 8, Wall st., 10:30 a. m.—Manipulation of war shares was the feature of today’s early trad- ing. General Motors made an initial gain of three points to 253, and Cru- cible Steel rose 13-4 to 86, which gains of a point in others of that group. Tennessee Copper was the only metal issue to record a gain, ad- vancing 21-2 to 57 1-2. Railways were irregular. Reading's advance of a point to 151 5-8 soon being lost. Rock Island was heavy, losing 13-4 to 18 1-4, probably as a result of the withdrawal of an important interest from further connection with the property. The local market derived no encouragement from London where Americans manifested further that a relatively small crowd of ‘“beer weakness. 3 murderers” as the Germans ex- pressively call them, will consume seventy liters in an astonishingly short time. The wine restaurant stays open, but the beer restaurants do not, even though they have wine on their bills None of their clients want wine, and to keep open means mere- ly a waste of electric light. WOLFF AN AMERICAN. Queenstown, Sept. 8, 2:456 p. m.—It has been established that an Amer- ican named Wolff was lost on the Hesperian. Woclff signed as an able seaman of the Hesperian's crew- He came from Newark, N. J., and was ot Dutch parentage. Discontent in the Phlippines. (New York Times. At a mass meeting held in Cebu lately resolutions were passed pledg- ing all who were présent to prevent Mr. Dean C. Worcester from making his residence in that city. Mr. Wor- cester was- Secretary of the Interior in the Philippines during the Admin~ istration of President Taft, and after the appointment of Mr, Harrison as Governor General he returned to tais country and delivered certain public addresses on the condition of the Philippines, in which he protested against the proposed extension to the Filipinos of larger powers of self- government. He has returned to the islands and is the head of the Visa- Feeling is strong against him, and the incident at Cebu indicates that there is a state of unrest in the Philippines which should not be ignored. Mr. Worcester at last account, had no in- tention of noticing the aotion of the mass meeting. Americans in the is- lands unanimously condemn the ac- tion. They point out that no other American, and no Filipino, has ever done so mucr for the Philippines as Mr. Worcester. His present oppon- ents are chiefly members of the Na- cionalista party, which was warmly in"favor of the passage by the United States congress of the Jones bill. The people of this country are not paying enough attention to the Phil- ippines. Most Americans will be in- clined to regard this incident at But the growing discontent in the islands demands notice. Doubtless it has been increased by financial depres- sion. For the first time in its history the Manila Railway company has been unable to meet the interest on its debt. The government, which guaranteed the bonds, has been com- pelled to pay the interest. Manuel Quezon, Commissioner Resident of the Filipinos at Washington, has been making speeches in the islands lately, and, although he counsels patience, it is worth noting that his remarks are calculated to keep alive the *“inde- pendence” idea. The esteemed Aguin- aldo lately declined to take part in the ceremonies at the unveiling of a monument to a revolutionist, on the ground that “he would not be abla to address a great throng, in such a place and on such an occasion, with- out making statements so definite as to be inappropriate at this time.” Perhaps, in the circumstances, his written excuse was not ineffective in A certain so-called ‘‘wine restau- ‘the way he desired. | Wall St. Closing—There were gen- eral recoveries in the late trading, the favorable crop report stimulating fresh buying and short coverings.
