WEAVERS' STRIKE ENDS. After Conference Friday, Company's Offer of Seve Cent Increase Accepted. Friday, the directors, the full board —nine in number—met in conference at the office of the Windham Silk com- pany with President John Golden of the United Textile Workers of Amer- ica. President Golden came to Willi- mantic as a result of an urgent tele- phone message following a meeting ot the silk people held Wednesday even- ing and attended the conference at their request to see if a settlement of the strike could not be reached. The conference lasted from 10 a. m. until noon. Nothing definite was done ex- cept to get the strikers’ committee and ‘President Golden to attend another conference at the company’'s office in the afternoon at 2 o'clock, which lasted until after 4.30. At this conference the directors, President Golden and the members of the strike committee from the weav- o8 discussed the matter pro and con n shape. The directors kept nothing back from the representatives of the strikers and even went so far as to invite them into the company's stock room and showed them the am- ount of finished goods on hand and in other ways discussed business freely’ with them Compound Interest Has Earned More Than Speculation.

The . directors would not meet the demand of the strikers for a 10 per cent ‘flat increase, but offereq a flat increase of 7 1-2 per cent. This fig- ure was final as far as the directors of the y were concerned and is said to be thelr ultimatum. The strik- ers are at liberty to take it or leave it. Some time ago _the company offer- ed an increase of 5 per cent, but this Wwas refused by the strikers, who held out for 10 per cent. er the conference the strikers’ ‘committee, with President Golden, went A. B. S. hall and met the body of strikers and reported the result of the conference. In the event of the flat increase of 7 1-2 per cent. being ac- cepted, the mill wiil start up imme- diately or just as soon as a few de- tails can be arranged. The sentiment of those attending the conference ap- peared to be favorable for an accept- ance of the offer of the company’s di- rectors. The conference Friday was the first one at which every member of the Windham Silk company’s board of directors has been present since the strikg started, about 12 weeks ago, and it wag also the first real opportunity that the strikers’ representatives had a fair opportunity to talk the matter over with the managing board of the Windham Silk company. The meeting of the strikers finished its delfberations upon the proposition offered them through their strike com- mittea and President Golden Friday afternoon a few minutes before T o'clock and at that time following ad- Jjournment, President Golden stated to a regresentative of the Bulletin that the strike wag settled. He sald: “Yes, everything is settled and we have de- fded to accept the proposition of the flirectors of the Windham Silk com- pany—a flat offer of 7 1-2 per cent. increase for all employes from cellar | to garret and the same goes into ef- fect Monday morning.” He said: “We decided to be slightly more liberal in the matter and after considering everything .have decided to meet the company half way and compromised upon the 7 1-2 per cent flat increase. We feel that we have won our point l.n% are willing to be absolutely fair in the matter,” The word that the strike had been settled spread like wildfire throughout the city and there were signs of relief in many quarters and everyone who was In anyway connected with the three months’ strike was heartily glad that it is ended. Reports a Morally Clean City. Chief E. H. Richmond received a communication from Stanley W. Finch, special commissioner for the suppres- sion of the white slave traffic; depart- ment of justice of the United States government, in which quite a list of questions are asked relative to vice in varied forms and the white slave | traffic in particular. Chief Richmond made his report, which in substance is as follows: No houses of ill fame are maintained in Willimantic and the city is not troubled with street walkers to | any degree.

The board of registrars for the town of Windham held its first meeting for caucus registration Friday after- noon in J. C. Barstow’s office. The meeting was called to order by Chair- man P. D.

The board will hold its second meeting on August 9 at the same place. Not a great amount of work was donme Friday, but the lists | Were gone over and perfected in many | instances.

Murray — Accompanied Home by Stepfather of One of Them— Death of Joseph Minton—Motor Party Returns from Maine. Putnam had three visitors from | Norwich Friday—visitors that came away from their home town without| telling their parents or those rmw»n-l sible for them whers they were goin or when they were coming back; briefly, they were runaways. The trio was boys—George Stone, John Cinuchouski, Henry Carter, each giving his age as 16 years. The lads first attracted attention- when they went into Seder's clothing store and| started to outfit themselves with long trousers, to replace the knee pants that they wore, and such other wea ing apparel as they wanted—shirts, ties and the like. Fach boy tendered a $10 bill in payment for his pur- chases. This fact was what at first] aroused suspicion. The police were informed that the youngsters were in town and were| spending money freely. Captain Mur- | ray started to look them up and| make an investigation. Hé found them at the. railroad station about, 10 o'clock. By that time they had got- ten Into their new togs, having dis- carded the old rigs in a secluded spot near what is known as the sand pit, south of the ecity. The captain engaged them in con- versation. Two of them, Stone and Cinuchowski, gave their place of res-| idence as Providence, the former claiming to live at 104 North Main street, the latter at 267, the same street, in Providence. Carter gave his residence as 49 Seventh street, Nor- wich. Captain Murray had not talked with them many minutes before he dis- | covered that they were telling him | fake yarns. Probation Officer Allen Bowen happened to come &long and he also listened to their stories. « The boys had all purchased tickets for Providence, going home, by the way, on the train due for that city at 10.30. Captain Murray decided that they had not better go on that train. He| took them to the police station and got into communication with the Nor- | wich police, this after.he felt con- vinced that the youngsters belonged in that city. The Norwich officer with | whom Captain Murray talked over the | wire, when he heard the story, said: | “Hold the boys.” Amos Aubery, the Carter boy’s stepfather, had just left | the Norwich police office after re-| porting that Henry was missing, So| Captain Murray held them. | After they decided that their game| wag\ plugged they told more of the| truth than had previously been the case. It was gathered from them that | they left Norwich Thursday, had come up to Plainfield and attended the cir- cus and made their way to Putnam Friday morning. It was evident that they came by what money they had in a legitimate way. It was under- stood from what they said that the money in thelr possession, amounting case, | MURRAY'S STORE : Willimantic, Conn.
