R. Neri of New Britain said that on lhe day in question he had stoppad his truck south of the trolley tracks on Main street, Kensington, in order | that the New Britain bound trolley might pass. He noticed the automo- bile coming down Farmington road when it reached a 'point opposite the Kilby House traveling between fitteen and twenty miles an hour.

Labor trouble caused the closing morning for an indefinite period of the quarry of the White Oak company, the officials having re- fused to grant a demand for increased ). pay made by the laborers. Repre- séntatives of the company denied that a strike is in _progress at the plant. “The men insisted on more pay than we feel we can afford to give them,” he said, "‘and we discharged the en- tire gang, paying them off and closing down the plant.’ The quarrymen asked for $3 for a nine hour day and time and a half for all overtime. Under the existing conditions they have been working ten hours a day for $3. For a num- ber of days the men have been get- ting restless and the demand for high- er oompensation had been generally expected. After the men were advised this morning that their demands would not be granted and the plant would be closed for the time being they loitered around the quarry. Fearing that there might be a demonstration with attending disorders, the officials called for the services of the author-» ities. Constable Marino responded and he spent several hours on the property. A representative of the company said that the concern is prepared for any trouble and has arranged to have riots or demonstrations quelled in their incipiency. Home Guard Officers Named.

As she gained the walk she stopped running and then the auto ran her down. y: Both MacPhearson and R.

Ac- ing to hoth men they came around "psen’s corner at about twenty miles n kour. slowed down to fifteen at the Kilby house and when they reached hie bridge were not going over ten. At the time .the Kilby house was reached they noticed the Neri truck | and the school children south of the | teack. As the trolley was coming from | under the bridge they went ahead with care as they did not wish anyone to rush out from behind it. Both agreed that the horn was properly sounded.

According to an article in the New York Sun of yesterday there may soon be no more Berlins in this or any other country. The article which ap- peared is as follows: “If the war continues much langer there won't be a Berlin in the world except in Germany, where, most people arc agreed, it can stay. Berlin and New Berlin, N: J., are both talk- ing of changing the names of the towns to something more American, and now Berlin, Conn.,, ten miles south of Hartford, wants the same thing dane. “Residents of the Connecticut town canvassed all their fellow citizens, and e name changed except one man, wMo had just bought a lot of new stationery with the name printed on it.

H.gFrost, Gage Kent to be named as sergeant. Both men were instrumental in or- ®anizing the branch and they have given up considerable time to secur- ing equipment. The corporals will probably be George A. Case and Henry Bonney. The members of the Plainville unit responded well to Captain Trumbull's call for drill, over 130 reporting Sat- urday aftefnoon. They made a good showing in the” drill held at Wood- ford's field, considering the fact that they had never marched together be-’ fore. The next drill will be held Sunday morning from ten to twelve o’'clock. Committec Named, The Business and Improvement as- sociation has decided to take up the’ position of Charles H. Norton of Worcester, Mass., for the planting of a large garden on his property on Red Stone hill in an effort to make. ceMain that Plainville will do its share to keep down the price of foodstuffs next winter. Mr. Norton offered to give the free use of his land, to stand the ex- pense of ploughing and to furnish the fortilizer required. The = following ~committee was named to look into the matter, report- ing their findings to the townspeople at a later date: Henry Trumbull, A. A. McLeod and Selectmen Johnson and Calor.
