Jt is pointed out that the strikers will then be able to learn that the com- pany kept its part of the November agreement in giving another raise in wages effective lu:if Monday. It has Leen claimed one reason for the strike that the men failing to find this promised increase in their envelopes last Wednesday thought the promise had not been kept. is Keep Off Strects. The extreme cold weather kept the irikers from congregating on the eets for any length of time. Re- ports of various kinds were in circu- lation and these kept the authoritie on the jump. The Italian portion of the strikers were looking forward to the coming here of Joseph J. Ettor, an organizer of the Industrial Work- crs of the World, who was at South arre, Mass., yesterd Whether he will be well received remains to be scen. Thus far the strikers have not taken kindly to outside interference or speakers. At one gathering of Isalians yesterda an agitator from out of town tried to make an addre! s soon as he began to warm up and szdvocate stern measures to secure concessions the crowd howled him down and finally forced him to leave on a trolley car going south, Small Arms Obtained? Ettor tember was in Waterbury last Sep- during strikes there. He was arrested and a jail sentence was im- pending when he took an appeal, and Jater he was permitted to leave with the understanding that he would not return to Waterbury. Ettor got into trouble because of inflammatory re- magks made in a hall to which objec tion was offered by a police officer sent to the meeting. Ettor had an al- tercation and his arrest followed. The authorities are still making a quiet investigation of a story current vesterday that two cases of small arms had been shipped in here. Give Up Sunday Demands. The nationality meetings lasted un- til after 11 o’clock. The attendance in the aggregate was piaced at 1,500. At tite Ttalian meeting there were prob- ably 500 present. As a whole the rikers decided to hold out for an increase of five cents an hour, for the Saturday half holiday with pay, and a half day’s work when a shop shuis down unexpectedly in the middle MRS.

The de- mand for double time for Sundays and holidays was given up because it was clafimed that the company did not work Sunda and had always granted the holidays. Photographer Pursued. Before adjourning notice was given that the general committee would meet the company’s-qfficials at 2 p. m. There were few incidents at t sevaral meetings. In one a news- paper photographer attempted to take a flashlight picture and he was hustled by several men near him and had to exert himself to get out or the hall. He disappeared quickly In the belief that he might be injured us he had heard a number of men say that ‘they would not have outsiders at the meetings. At the Sarasfield hydl meeting an attempt was made to take up a collection to give to Joseph Grohol, the young man who in control of the strike situation here, and who owns the building, but Grohol refused to sanction any col- lections. He said he was willing. to let the strikers use the hall so long as they held quiet meetings Grohol Still on Top. is PPhere was very little discussion of the strike among knots of men on the street. Several times individuals tried to impress others with a statement that Grohol was not looking after the strikers’ interests but these men were told to keep quiet. Every indication during the forenoon was that Grohol still had the larger port of the strik- ers under his influence. Mayor Schumaker said the situation was far better than he nad expected and he felt surc that matters will be straightened out with- out friction. He said that he had Brcard some criticism over the hand- ling of a small fire last night which purned out a motorcycle and bicycle ¥p because all the firemen are under police orders: He said that the fire- men reached the blaze just as quickly as if they had been free, and they put it out as quickly, if not quicker be- canse of the extra responsibility thrust gpon them, saving the surrounding puildings, and keeping the blaze with- n the one small structure.

DOUBLE WALLS IN THIS vLD PITCHER vears Rare Curio Property of Higgins Club of Milford in Window of Dickin- son Drug Company. A rare curio resembling in many respects the modern thermos bottle, s on exhibition in the window of the Dickinson Drug company,jbut close examination reveals the fdct that it is a double walled pitcher and dates back to 1857. The bottle or double pitcher is the property of the Hig gins club of Milford, an ancient o ganization, and was brought to th city by Charles P. Merwin of the Hart & Hutchinson company. Mr. Merwin spends his summers at Mil- ford and the ancient relic was brought to his attention by a member of the Higgins club when that social organ- ization held a housccleaning. The pitcher was thrown out as a worth- less object but Mr. Merwin's atten- tion was called to it and on examina- tion he concluded that it was an ob- ject of more than ordinary interest. The pitcher is composed of pew'er and shows evidence of usage as well as the ravages of time, but on the bottom is seen evidence of a patent mark and the date 1857 ind tes when it was issued. The chief feature outside of i historical value is shown by its double walls. It was this fea- ture which led Mr. Merwin to belicve that it was an early example of the vaccum bottle now manufactured to a large extent by Landers, Frary & (lark. fxamination by General Su- perintendent Joseph . Lamb proved conclusively that the pitcher while a curio of rare value not a vaccut bottle, but was apparently designed as an ice water pitcher and the value of its double walls is to prevent con- densation. The ordinary ice wate pitcher condenses moisture on its side: freely. in warm weather and to pre- vent this the double walled pitcher was designed, it is believed. Mr. Merwin was unable to leawrn much about the curio as most of the old-time memers of the Higgins club has long since passed away and it was only possible to conjecture con- cerning its origin, but the fact that the pitcher has a patent number and the date 1857 shows that it was con- sidered something out of the or- dinary. Imbossed on the outer walls of the pitcher is a marine view, gh()\\i\\}: a three masted schooner un- 1 and on either hand arc TON. . C.
