Petrograd, via London, Dec. 13, $.15 p. m—Russian artillery destroyed a Zeppelin airsship on the night of Dec. 5, according to the details which have just arrived near the station of Kal- kun, on the Libau-Romin railway. The dirigible made its appearance from the direction of Novo Alexan- drovsk, passing over the Russian po- sitions’ going toward Dvinsk. Its po- sition was revealed by a powerful searchlight and Russian artilery open- cd fire on it. The Zeppelin, however, then rose to a higher altitude and became lost in the clouds. Presently the airship reappeared over Kalkun. Its motors had been stopped, which is usually the indica- tion that bombs are to be dropped. At that time the machine was directly over the railway station and the arti lery began shelling it. One of the shells made a hit and the aircraft be- came enveloped in flames. Under the glare of the searchlights watchers saw it disappear in a cloud of smoke and heard a loud exposion. What was left of the machine fell inside the Russian line. The charred bodies of the German crew were extri- cated from the debris and buried. A cross was erected over their grave with the inscription: “Honor to the Brave, Though They Were BRITISH SCHOONER DRIVEN ASHORE DURING A GALE At Burn Point, N.

Baltimore, Md., Dec. 13.—The wire- less apparatus on the German steamer Bulgaria, interned in the harbor here, was sealed today by a United States naval officer from Washington. A naval wireless expert has been in the neighborhood of the ship for sev- eral days making observations. ILocal officials of the government admitted that charges had been made that mes- sages were received and sent recently from the ship, but would not further discuss the matter.

Sl ik NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1915 STRIKE AT WESTERLY SETTLED |Wiys “Gesk” for Arbitration Committee Brings About Agreement at Moore Plant—G. A. R. Burial for William York—Local Odd Fellows, M. U., to Visit Norwich Lodge—Humane So- ciety at Pendleton Hill Farm. Through the efforts of an arbitration committee composed of Councilman Maurice W. Flynn, Rev. Samuel M. Cathcart and Councilman William M. Culley, the strike which has been on for the past three weeks at the George C. Moore Elastic Fabric company has been settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. The committee met with the strikers and Organizer Walker, of the United Textile union, and the whole matter was thoroughly dis- cussed. The matter of wages did not enter into the controversy, ‘which seemed to be in the main the recogni- tion of the union and the making a strictly union standard at the Moore plant. There is no general union of workmen in this class of work, and the newly organized local union is said to be the only one of its kind, and there- fore could not be consistently recog- nized by the Moore company as it might be prejudicial to the business and to the advantage of competitors. The company submitted the follow- ing recommendations which ‘were adopted: 1 The number of hours constituting a week’s work, whether 54 or 56, to be submitted to a vote of all the workers in the mill, except the women and girls, a majority vote to decide. 2 Non-interference in future by those that have organized with those that kave not been and are not so or- ganized. 3 The company affirms the right to engage and discharge any person when in their judgment it is for the best Interests of all concerned to do so. 4 That the company will engage those that are out as fast as arrange- ments can be made for them—the time x;n( to be more than one week or ten da The names and addresses of all those desiring to return to work to be given to this committee, or left at the office of the company at the earliest ible time. 6 Withdraw advertisements in all papers out of town to the effect that strike is now on. will be seen that the hours of la- governed by the majority vote of male emplcyers, that union and non-union men will work together in harmony, that the company reserves | the right to hire and discharge, that the company will take back the strik- ers, and that advertisements that a strike is on at the Moore plant be withdrawn.
