The Providence Tribune says: One of the unique celebrations of the Christmas day festivals in the state was that held at Pontiac' in the Paw- tuxet valley under the auspices of All Saints’ Protestant Episcepal church at Pontiac. Dr, Juies Jordan, the emi- nent musician and cempeser, played the role of Santa Claus and read an original poem and altheugh the dis- | tribution of the good things which had | so miraculeusly grown on the Christ- mas tree over night was the chief fea- ture of the affair from the viewpoint of the juvenile beneficiaries, to their the poem and the personality of Santa were by far the more interesting. embers of the church and Sun- hool were present in large num bers and the entire programme, d rected by the pastor, Rev.

Bush Hill property of the late Mrs. tax for nal from New Lendon to Webster along the course of the Quinebaug, ad- town makes clear the profitable use by quoting what was said by a United States army engineer who discussed the same project, only for a canal through to Worcester, at a meeting of a business men's organization of that efty about five years ago. Lower transportation rates for the big man- ufacturers along the territory that would be served by the canal, for coal and lumber dealers and lower prices for those who buy the goods of the latter, cheaper transportation rates | for all shippers. These were advant- ages pointed out by the army engineer as results of canal service. All manufacturers and wholesale and retail dealers could get tide-water coal rates, almost, it is claimed. This would apply to many other classes of shipments also, and would as well ap- ply to outgoing shipments. As far back as the time of the address of the army engineer to which reference is made sketches of the proposed canal had been prepared, and were put to use Those who have made a study of the New TLondon to Worcester canal project regard it as a practictl prop- osition and far removed from the plan- nings of a visionary. FIFTY-FIVE HOUR LAW To Go Into Force In Quinnebaug, Dan- ielson, and Wauregan Mills Today— How the Change Will Affect Operat- ives. This (Monday) morning the Quinne- baug, Danielson Cotton company and Wauregan mills will enter on a 55 hours a week working schedule, in compliance with the law applying to women and minor operatives, which becomes effective January 1. Various | other mills will also inaugurate the | new policy in towns in this section to- day, but other mills will not do 50 un- til Friday, when the plants will re- open after the New Year's holiday. In some of the mills announcements will be made that the operatives will suffer no loss in wages as the result of the cutting of the weekly working time by three hours. This will be true of the Quinnebaug mills here and of the Wauregan mills, In plants operatives who work by the day will receive the same pay as at pres- ent and operatives who are paid for piece work will receive an advanee in wages sufficient to offset what they would otherwise lose by working three hours less. J. Arthur Atwoed, agent of these mills and of the Ponemah mill at Taftville said Saturday that the cot- ton market is not at all faverable to cotton manufacturers at this time and cited reasons why, but indieated the attitude of the interests centrolling the plants with which he is identified to be favorable to taking the most op- timistic view of the situation and granting the increase noted, At Ballouville and Attawaugan the operatives who w by the day are to receive the same pay and the piece workers are ‘to receive an in- crease sufficient to offset.the loss they would otherwise suffer by reducing their workiug hours to 55 a week. While the 55-hour law applies ouly to women and minor operatives in Ine- chanical and manufacturing plants, the male workers in the mills, in most ¢ es will benefit by it, as they will be re- quired to work only 55 hours. This is not true in all of the mills héreabouts, however, as in some cases the men will continue to work 60 hours a week. At the Assawanga Woalen company’s Tecovering | Holiday hours of opening and clos-!} in demonstrating points in the lecture | these big| | urday that the arrangements of these | concerns for meeting the requirements { of the new law had not been promul- gated. A variety of agreements as to the { hotr of beginning and quitting work i heve been made by different mills t ! meet the requirements o fthe nw law. 7 most cases the mill workers will go in at 7 a. m. and work until 12 m., re- turn at 1 p. m. and work to 6 p. m., on | five days of the week and from 7 a. m. to 12 m. Saturdays. In onme plant in this vicinity some women and minor operatives will lose their places because of the ne wlaw, as those in charge, considering the narrow margin of profit in thir line, cannot keep these workers without making an unwarranted sacrifice of the company’s interests. g | FIRE ESCAPE APPROPRIATION.
