GOX DIES AFTER OPERATION (Continued from First Page ) In one season there he made a nrt with the baseball fans and news- papers in that locality declared him a baseball “find.” He had in his poseession, hundreds of clippings of newspaper stories concern- {ing his work as lead-off hitter and | shortstop. He was made and he received many compliments for his leadership. Joins Detroit Team He was given a chance with th Defroit team which was then in th, National League and from the start he made good. He was captain and manager and was still a star as the lead-off batter and shortstop. On August 21, 1884, he was presented | with a watch and chain by a group of friends from his native home in Waltham.

Dunn. remained in this | prestige. He played with the Law- rence, Mass, team in the old New England league, the Bridgeport team in the old Connecticut league and with the Scranton. Pa., team. Gave Lynch His Start Mr. Cox was an umpire in the old New England league after he gave up playing. It was in this league that the late Thomas J. Lynch was given his start through Mr. Cox's influence. Later Lynch went to the National League as umpire after which he became president of the league. Mr. Cox was chairman of the latter's memorial committee, Mr. Cox umpired in this locality until a few years ago. While he was engaged in business he was an um- pire in the old Ward league. Mr. Cox was a lover «of the game and a frequent attendant. He was always an encouraging influence on the younger ball players and it was through this encouragement that nany of New Rritain's players were ble to reach heights. In Business For 15 years he conducted a cafe on Main street near the site of the present Palace theater, formerly the Opera House. He later hecame an insurance agent and for 10 years he worked at that position. In 1908 he became senior partner and insarance firm of Cox and Dunn. His partner They located in Booth’s block but later moved to the National Rank building where the firm is located-at present. Mr. Dunn is grief-stricken over the loss of his friend and partner with whom he was associated for 20 years. Plan Commission Member Mr. Cox was a member of the city plan commission, having received his appointment from ex-Mayor Weld. He was continued in office by Mayor Paonessa. Otherwise he was not active in civic life. He was associated with the Holy Name society and St. Joseph's Par- ish society of St. Joseph's church. In his younger days he was a mem- ber of many other fraternal organ- izations. Married 45 Years In October, 1882, he married Eliz- abeth A. Tone in St. Mary's old church on Myrtle street. She is the only New Britain relative who sur- vives him. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Sheridan of Waltham and Mrs. Thomas Prentice of Southing- ton; and a brother, Peter Cox of Waltham. Funeral services will be held to- morrow morning at 9 o'clock at St. Joseph's church. Burial will be in St. Bernard's cemetery, Rockville, Tribute by Mayor Paonessa. Mayor Paonessa, who had been acquainted with Mr, Cox for many years, made the following statement in commenting on the death today: “No one who knew Mr. Cox could receive the news of his death with- out expressing sincere regret. Going about his work in an unassuming manner, he lived the life of a ggod citizen, a good business man and a a good public official. In every line Wage and working agreements between the Connecticut Company and its motormen, conductors and certain other employees, expired June 1st. For some time, officers of the Company and a committee of employees, elected by the employees, have been endeavoring to negotiate a new agreement. HERE ARE THE FACTS: The employees’ committee insist upon the following increases in wages: ONE MAN CARS TWO MEN CARS Present rate, 62c an hour Increase demanded, 13¢ an hour N Present rate, 69¢ an hour Increase demanded, 21c an hour of endeaver into which he entered, he carried the spirit of fair play sportsmanship so thoroughly taught him during his experience as a baseball player, and in these days when so much is heard of sharp practice in business, it is an inspire ation to business in general to wite ness the success of a man who ex- emplified the highest ideals of fair trading and fair play. Mr. Cox took a deep interest in his work as a city plan commissioner and his death is a distinct loss to the city.” POISON LIQUOR FATAL Danbury, June 25 (P —Joseph Cimino, 45, and George R. Stewart, negro, 5, were found dead last night at different points in this city. Impure liquor is believed to have been the cpuse of death in each case. Dr. E. A.

STRIKE BUSSES Present rate, 72c an hour Increase dernanded, 18c an hour (Maximum rate quoted—practically all employees are classified under this head) THE AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE FOR UNIFORMED EMPLOYEES FOR THE PAST YEAR WAS PAID FOR OVERTIME 6 DAYS—$35.05. 7 DAYS—$41.35 (MANY EMPLOYEES EARN MORE THAN $45 WEEKLY) TIME AND A HALF IS The Wage Scale Demanded, If Put Into Operation, Would Increase The Operating Expenses Of The Company More Than Two Million Dollars A Year For the 15 months ending with March, 1928, the Company shows a loss of $680,000 in revenue over the preceding 15 months, a rate of decrease of §1,500 a day. This is largely due to increased use of automobiles. To add at this time, MORE THAN $5,400 A DAY in wage increases is not justified hecause the riding public will be immediately faced with the possibility of increased fares. The Company has constantly striven to effect operating economies and retain the present fare. IT DESIRES TO ADHERE TO THE PRESENT WAGE SCALE, BUT HAS INFORMED THE EMPLOYEES’ COMMITTEE THAT IT IS WILLING T9 SUBMIT THE WAGE QUESTION TO ARBITRATION. Q& A UNION AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY OTHER QUESTIONS: THE CONNECTICUT COMPANY'’S POSITION: Relations hetween the Company and its employees have always been pleasant. The Company has always conferred with employees’ committees and is ready to do so in the future. It does not agree with the present em- ployees’ committee that international union officers and walking delegates THE EMPLOYEES' COMMITTEE DEMANDS: OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF THEIR ORGANIZATION AS should participate in the Company’s affairs. 1t is reluctant to allow out- siders, non-residents and persons not in the employ of the Company, to have a part in the conduct of the Company’s service. The majority of street railway employees in the U. S. work on “runs,” which vary from 85 to 11 hours a day; some more. The average for the Connecticut Company is less than 9 hours; a few “runs” have longer time. Employees choose their “runs” frequently, sen- iority in service allowing preference in selection. In many cases, em- ployees, even including members of the employees’ committee, whose sen- iority entitled them to a choice of “runs” requiring short hours, have chosen longer “runs” in order to receive a higher weekly wage. The Com- pany now pays time and one-half for overtime, and believes this sufficient. ARBITRATION OF DISCIPLINE HIGHER WAGES BECAUSE OTHER Agreement with such a demand would practically remove the respon- sibility of the Company’s relations between employees and public from the Company's officers who are now responsible for service rendered. At pres- ent any aggrieved employee may directly or through the General Com- mittee of Employees (called the Joint Conference Board) appeal a decision of his superior to the President, and if necessary to the Board of Directors. For the many years this rule has heen in effect, only one appeal has ever been made to the Board of Directors, and the General Committee has not appealed any case to the NEW ENGLAND COMMUNITIES HAVE HIGHER RATES THE CON) MUST REALIZE THAT THE LOSS OF TH MATTER. THE COMP OR TO RAISE FARES. Some New England cities have higher wage scales than Connecticut. Operating conditions are different.
