S STRIKE BEGUN AT THAMES SPECIALTIES Laborers Left Work When Request For Ten Per Cent. Increase Was De- nied. Twenty-five men who are employed in the night shift at the Thames River Specialties company at Montville went out on strike on Monday ,morning. They had asked for a 10 per cent. wage increase, and when this was refused they struck. ‘Those who are on strike are chiefly laborers and it is not expected that the strike will spread any farther, as most of the skilled help have remained at work. The mill, however, is at a busy period and the strike will cause a tem- porary shutdown. For a short time it may be necessary to operate but one- half the mill For protection against any possible trouble, the mill officers had special officers sworn in gnd on duty at the plant on Monday.

STONINGTON SENATOR TALKS OF “MILKING” Says That ls What Is Happening to Groton and Stonington St. Ry. Co. “The company is milking the Groton and Stonington Street Raflway com- pany and there is no use in beating around the bush,” said Senator Ben- Jamin H. Hewitt, of Stonington, refe: Ting to the Norwich and Westerly Traction company, in addressing the public utilitles commission, Monday, at the hearing on the petition of Jennie L. Hewitt Ind 24 other school teachers for a reduction in the trolley rates on the line of the Groton company which was said by the senator to be sub- jected to a milking process. The remark of the senator was brought out by the objection that had been raised by Former Represen- tative C. L. Avery, attorney for the company, to a question asked by the senator to show who was in control of the Groton and_ Stonington com- pany leased by the Norwich and Wes- terly Traction company. “Show who is dnlnx the milking,” replied Mr. Avery. The question was temporarily ex- cluded by Chairman Higgins. In the latter part of November the petitioners sent a petition to the in- terstate commerce commission com- mission complaining that the rates on the Groton and Stonington line, which extends to the Rhode Island state line, had been increased, in some instances 100 per cent., and stating that the in- crease was unreasonable. The peti- tioners asked for relief. The interstate commerce commission replied that it had no jurisdiction over the matter and s sted that the petitioners go to the public utilities commission. On December 16 the latter received the document and the hearing Monday was on that petition. It was claimed by counsel for the petitioners that some of the expenses of operating the Nor- wich and Westerly company were paid out of the revenue of the Groton and Stonington company. President R. W. Perkins of the Nor- wich and Westerly Traction company stated in reply to a question from Sen- ator Hewitt that the directors of the company were Morton F. Plant, F. de C. Sullivan, A. E. Locke, H. M. Verill, C. L. F. Robinson, R. W. Perkins and J. A. Winchester and that the directors of the Groton and Stonington company were the same with the ‘exception that A. L, Chappell of New London and C. D. Noyes. of Norwich took the place of Messrs. Winchester and Robinson. The objection to the granting of the petition for a reduction of rates was on the ground that the income of the company did not warrant it. agreement the scope of the hear. so that there wi London, Feb. 1, l.l8~|_ m.—The Daily Express in an editorial today, after remarking that the latest Zeppelin at- tacks are certain to provoke great in- dignation in the United States, urges on that country the necessity of pre- paredness. “Former President Roosevelt is try- ing to push President Wilson into war, says the Dalily Express, “but the pre: ident knows America is myrevmd otherwise he ht do something more than write indignant notes.
