Moorc—Settles Tax Council Meeting—No Automobile Accidents—Hot Spell Broken. Members of the New Departure Mutual Relief Association will meet this evening in Red Men's hall on Prospect street to consider the ad- visability of discontinuing the or- ganization. The notice of the meet- ing was sent out by President Lester A. Lanning upon the recommenda- tio of the board of directors of the association. The relief association, which was formed a number of years ago, num- bers amongst its members practical- Iy every employe at the New Depar- ture plant. Since its organization, it has paid out thousands of dollars to sick or'injured employes and has provided medical attention where required. At the present time it has in the treasury approximately $24,- 000. In the event it is decided to discontinue the organization, it is Delieved that this money will either be turned back to members on a pro-rata basis, based on the term of membership of the individual, or else turned into a trust fund for dif- ferent purposes. No Longer Necded The relief association, in the opin- ion of its officers and directors, is no longer required because of the group life insurance taken out for its employes by the General Motors Corporation, of which the New De- parture Manufacturing Company is a subsidiary. The policy, written in the amount of $400,000,000 and cov- cring all employes of General Mo- tors, increases the group life insur- ance of each employe to $2,000, re- gardless of physical condition due to sickness or accident and also in- creased benefits for permanent dis- ability for period of three years and seven months. This protection is afforded the employes for $1.50 a month, which, it is estimated, is from one-third to one-ninth the cost of such protec- tion should an employe secure it outside the plan. Under this new plan, an employe if permanently disabled before the age of sixty, he | will be paid $52.50 monthly for fort; months. In the event of sickness ‘or non-occupational accident the employe is paid $15 a week. Upon | the death of an employe, his bene ficiary will receive the sum of § 000, In the past all meetings of the a sociation have been held in the i dee club.

Blackmer, a special attorney {8 en route there to press Colorado's | claing for to service on the missing key witness in the Teapot Dome Richard C. Callen, United States { marshal here, yesterday said that the attorney, .whose identity he did not reveal, sailed last week with papers calling on the French gov- ernment to apprehend the former ad of the Mid-West Refining company .and hold, him for deliver- ance to a United States law officer. Blackmer is wanted here on in- dictments charging perjury in con- nection with alleged failure to make proper income tax returns. A fed- eral grand jury brought the indict- ments June 15 following filing on June 4 of liens againet his property in Denver and New York for a total of $8,495,935.78. If the attorney’s mission is suc- cessful, Callen will go to France with a presidential warrant, calling |for the oil man's return to the | United States, he eald. He said perjury was an offense for which extradition proceedings may be instituted under existing Franco- American treaties, but that final de- cision in the case rested with France. Should that nation refuse to de- liver Blackmer, the presidential war- rant, which carries signatures of the president and Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg automatically lapses, “'Sending a special attorney to re- quest Blackmer's delivery to me by the French puts the task of appre- { hending Blackmer on the French police,” Callen said. “I do not wish to remaim in rance several months awaiting the moves of complicated legal ma- | chinery before I get my man,” said Callen, whose assignment was made by United States Attorney George Stephen, The Warrant . Callen’s warrant declares “You are hereby authorized and em- powered to take and hold him (Blackmer) in your custody and conduct him from such place of de- livery in France by the most direct and convenient means of transper- tation to and into the United States, there to surrender the said Henry M. Blackmer to the proper authori- ties of the United States of Amer- ica.” Blackmer went to France several years ago when the government opened the Teapot Dome lease in. vestigation and has since refused to return to this country.

The paper said Blackmer left Paris Friday with his daughter and her family to spend the week-end at the seashore. He probably will re- turn tomorrow or Wednesday, Closing Qut Sale All Groceries to be Sold Below Cost. Eastwood &Foran Central Square PLAINVILLE. DOWE FLyY ONER 7UE ROCK OF AGES, UNCLE HARRY'?
