Wage Advance Today at Start of a Prosperous Sum- mer. £ _Many hundreds of mill operatives in textile plants in this city and vicinity will go to work this morning under a new wage scale that means more money for each and every one of them. Notices were posted to this effect at the week end in some of the mills, while in others there may be no defi- nite announcement, but the workers will find extra money in their pay en- velopes. The advance is in line with similar readjustments of wages throughout New England. Fifteen hundred operatives of the big plants of the Grosvenordale company in the Grosvenordales begin earning more money today. The notices posted here do not state the amount of the ad- vance, The Morse-Nightingale cor- poration, operating mills in this city and employing 500 hands, grant a 10 per cent. advance, effective today. The Putnam Manufacturing compeny had made no announcement of an advance up to Saturday, but it was said that this plant will probably also readjust - | the wageé scale. The Putnam Woolen and Wate: Worsted companes have just advaited itheir scale of wages and there have been splendid advances made to the help at the plant of the French River Textile company at Mechanicsville. The Manhasset company has made no recent announcement as to another ad- vance. With the extra money given them a few wecks ago and the new advance, from 3,000 to-8,500 mill workers in this vicinity are happy in the prospect of the most prosperous summer in their memory. ‘Wages were never so_ high as at present, nor working conditions better in_the manufacturing_concerns in the Quinebaug valley. Within a comparatively short period most of the plants have been overhauled, new ma- chinery installed in many of them. Sanitary conditions are better in all the mills. Oil lamps that were dim and dreary have been replaced by irilliant electric lights, scientifically arranged, and the working hours are now much shorter and in many ways more attractive than in many other ray, D.

Ream, the tinplate magnate, whose beautiful country es- tate is in Thompson. Saturday in his argument at Amster- Gam former Secretary of War Lindley M. Garrison, for Louis Marshall Ream, sald that the latter was never legally married to Eleanor Pendleton David- son of the “Slim Princess” company, who sought to have annulment, action won by Ream four years ago set aside.

But no matter what you may eay or see or think, I will always love you with all my heart and soul T wish to God I could dle. If at any time you change, I will come, if from the end of the earth. Senator Brackett in his argument declared Miss Davidson would be en- titled to all the rights of a wife if her marital status were restored, as she confidently expects.
