Scott, Jr., which was sunk by the Deutsshland, Fridey morning, with loss of life. In speak- ing of the trip, he sald: The tug was named for the present Thomas A, Scott, then a fair-haired, curly-headed ‘124 in knee _breeches. The hull of the tug was bullt in No- ank in 1882, but it was more than a year afterward before she went into commisston, . Her seams had opened above the water line and when the boiler and engine were put into her. at the Albertson and Douglas plant. then located in Main street, with rear bordering on Winthrop cove, the Scott sunk at the wharf. I was on my way back from taking a look at the sub- merged tug when I met the original Thomas A. Scott. I asked him where he was boufid. He replied: ‘T thought I'd go over and take the junior out for a trial spin.’ I said: ‘Cap, don’t you know the Scott s sunk in Win. throp cove? To this the captain said “Yes, 1 know that, but I guess she'll be pumped free by the time I gpt there, for you know I can't go very fast ashore’ He asked ine to make tho trip with him and I accepted. We waited on the wharf for Half an hour when_Alonzo Fones, then engineer of the Scott, and now a member of the firm of The T. A. Scott Wrecking Co., said the tug was in readiness for the rip. T went into the pilot house with tha captain, the New London draw bridge swung open, and the tug T. A. Scott, Jr, started on her initial trip down New London harbor; and this was thirty-four years ago! “We got down off Fort Trumbull, and Captain Scott spoke through the at led to the engine room. how's she holding?

Dupius was to wheel Deforge from the Moosup post office to the Wauregan post of- fice in a wheelbarrow if Hughes was not elected and Deforge to do the wheeling act if he was. Hughes fail- ed to be elected and Dupius seemed to be the goat. Arrangements were made and the young men left the Moosup post office at 7 o’clock Thurs- day evening. Dupius did not care to have this dreaded task last any long- er than possible so he made good, steady time, arriving at the Waure- gan post office in just 50 minutes. Many of their friends went with them and all claimed Dupius made the trip in said time withont making a stop. Dupius has proven himself a gooad loser.

It Has Developed That Such Rumcrs Are Based on Misinformation. Berlin, Nov. 17.—The American As- sociation of Commerce and Trade of Berlin has been investigating the ru- mors circulated abroad to the effect that Germany is preparing for dump- ing enormous quantities of cheap goods there after the ciose of the war. According to these rumors, Germany has mobilized a vast army of-ill-paid old men, women and children to work on cheap staple goods for export, con- sisting chiefly of steel and iron goods, dyestuffs and others. 1t is farther represented that vast quantities of these goods are being stored for ship- ment when the war ends According to the association’s week- 1y repor:, all such rumors are based upon misinformetion. It finGs tnat there is no surplus labor in Germany that could be divertei to the produc- tion of the goods in question. More- over, the supply of labor is rot even sufficient for producing the demands of home cofisumers, besides the vast quantities of war materials needed; and instead of wages being so low now that manufacturers would find this a favorable time for producing cheap goods, the report points out that “the wages of all workers have ab- normally increased, the increased cost of living. The iron and steel now produced in Germany is consumed for the greater part in making arms and ammunition, whilo the remainder barely auffices for e legitimate requirements of E.. ians, “it being obvious therefcre that no output is left over for deli af- ter the war.” Hence also h:gln. in proportion to || practically .all orders from neutral countries have had to be cancelled. Similgr statements are made re- garding the dyestuffs industry. “Their prices have risen considerably during the war. Makers do not limit them- selves to making dyes; they also make, and now more than ever, chemicals, drugs and explogives, o that dyestuffs are now playin® an insignificant role in production.” In respe ctto toys, it is noted that preducton is rendered very difficult by reason of the lack of raw materials, so that the output ie lim- ited to the domestic demand. The entire range of textile indus- tries, which constitute a very large segment of Germany’'s economic activ- ity, are now wholly eliminated from manufacture for export owing to lack of the raw materials; supplies of these are so short that they were long ago confiscated by the government in or- der to conserve them for military re- quirements, and only such small qyan- titles are liberated for the require- ments of the civilian population as are absolutely necessary. This is also true of the rubber and leather trades. ‘In fact, there is not ome single in- dustry that _could be,named in which conditions as to raw materials, sup- Dlies, labor and wages are such as would render it possible. for manufac- turers to turn out goods with a view to storing them for : the war. le abrcad afier TRAINMEN’S BROTHERHOOD MUST SHOW CAUSE Why an Injunction Should Not be Is- sued on Adamson Law.
