Only 180 Men Are Concerned in the Shipyard Walkout. ‘Wednesday another quiet day dawn- what might be breaking of the Backbone of the strike at_the Palmer shipyard. Everything was running in the usual manner Wednesday morning and Supt. Frank Meader does hot consider the matter worth calling a strike- By actual count it is said there were only 180 men. concerned in it, having sufficient strength of purpose to re- main out for an indefinite lensth of time. Many of the men went back to work, and as there had been 50 iron- workers sent for to fill any vacancy which_might exist, it is expected by the officials of the plant that things will run smoothly from now on, The strikers tell it differently. They say there were 100 men at their meet- ing Tuesday evening and by no means not all boys, as has been claimed. They say there will be a general tie-up at the plant and, as one man expresses it, trouble was piling up rapidly for the concern. Deputy Sheriff James E. F. Brown was on hand Wednesday morning to meet_the incoming cars of the Groton and Stonington line, but there was no trouble made. It is freely predicted that the strike will end as did the last one, which was under the same man- agement, and that no one will remem- ber that’ there was one by next week. About 20 men arrived Wednesday forencon for work in the Palmer ship- yard, not knowing there was a strike. Beveral turned out to be union men and all refused to turn to. They all attended the meeting of the strikers. NEW LONDON’S GRAND LIST SHOWS GAIN Is Three Millions Greater This Year Ths Last. New London’s new grand list of tax- able property shows an increase of $3,083,187 over that of one year ago. The report was filed Wednesday after- noon. The total valuation of New London property for taxable purposes in the new list is piaced at $25,504,313. The previous grand list showed a to- tal valuation of $22,411,126. Bvidently a considerable number of taxpayers failed to hand in their lists this year for the 10 per cent. penalty has been increased from $129,368 to $210.266. The valuation of land has been in- creased from $1,659,510 to $1,965,765 and of houses from $11,047,325 fo 311, 525,821, Store valuations have been in- creased from $4,346,090 to $5,196,855. The increasing popularity of motor vehicles is shown by the fact that au- tomobiles are taxed at $437,100, while last year they wr listd at $283,675. There has been a falling off in the department during Jmuu;.“-n‘ also [ municated with ~ th practically lobsters. The otter trawling question was first talgen up and it was unanimously voted to oppose the bill. Capt. A. F. Taylor of South Glaston- bury, a fresh water fisherman, Cap- taina C. D. Clark, M. R. Darrow and . Watrous, trap fishérmen of Niantic, made vigorous speeches in favor of op- Pposition and were able to pledge influ- ential ata. A special committee composed of Asa Clarke, chairman, Erastus Wilbur, Frank Thom George Wilcox and Robert Holliday was appoiuted to act in epposition to the bill, 2 It was also voted to oppose the lob- ster bill and to appoint a epecial com- mittee to act in that manner. This was made up of John Daboll, bhair- man, Sidney Wilcox, James P. Brown, William Holiday ahd Fred Budding- . Arrangements were also made to co-operate with Connecticut river shad fishermen in opposition to several pro- posed bills. WORKMEN MAKE DEMAND FOR WAGE INCREASE Masons in New London Want $550 For Eight Hours’ Work. Paper hangers, painters, masons and carpenters of New London have all made demands for increases of wages. The unions of these various crafts have all gone on record as_favoring the increase and all have placed re- duests before the master craftsmen. The increase in the cost of living and the inadquacy of the present wage scale are given as the reasons for the demands. The painters and paper hangers are now receiving a minimum wage of $3 2 day for eight rous at the rate of 37 1-2 cents an hour. Their demand is for 45 cents an hour for painters and 48 cents an hour for paper hang- ers 44 hours to constitue a week. They further ask that time and a half be allowed for all worl done between the hours of 5 and 10 p. m, and double time from 10 p. m. to 7 a. m. and holidays, Men acting as foremen of any job shall be pald 25 cents a day additional and that the contractors shall pay all transportation charges to and from jobs. The painters and paper hangers ask for an answer on or before March 31 and the New London union declares that should there be a desire on the part of the contractors fo meet a com- mittee to discuss the matter, they will cheertully appoint a committee for a conference. The carpenters who are now receiv- ing 48 cents an hour make a demand for $0 cents an hour to become ef- fective April 1. The demand for an increase was voted at a meeting of the carpenters’ union a day or two ago and the referendum vote showed that 90 per cent of the members were in favor of asking for the in- crease. In accordance with an agree- ment between the carpenters and con- tractors reached last May contractors are to be given 90 days' notice of the demand. It is understood that the carpenters are willing to complete any contract which a bullder may have taken under the present scale of wages. The demand of the masons is for an increase of $1 @ day. They are now’ getting $4.50 a day. NEGRO KNIFE MAN neutrality laws of this country.

He was married to Miss Julla Arnold of Danielson, Conn, Nov. 17, 1871, the ceremony being performed at Waure- gan, Conn. At South Coventry he con- tinued to live for many years. He was employed there in the silk mill, where he was a foreman for several years. Later he held prominent po- sitions with silk manufacturing com- panies in other places. His family resided for some years at Manefleld, Conn., and later moved to Williman- tic, Conn., where they are well known. About 25 years ago a great sorrow came into his life in the death of his wife. Though he continued active un- til about four years ago, this bereave- ment had seemed to break his spirit in a way that he never seemed the same as before to those who were closest to him. In his declining years he has made his home with his chil- dren, dividing his time among them as he saw fit About six weeks ago he went from the home of a daughter in Augusta, Me., to spend some time in thé home of his son in Atkinson. At the time of his going he contracted a cold which seemed to aggravate other difficulties, and he has gradually caring | failed. ~ Ail that loving hands and for 'its capacity number of patlents, | medical skill could do to restore him 90, not one can be admitted. to his normal health was done without avail The funeral of Mrs. Mercy B.

A fine of $10 and costs and a three months’ jail sentence was meted out to Cleveland Poe, the negro who on the night of Jan. 24 w: accused of stabbing Thomas McSwane, another negro, in the saloon of Stephen Law- sky in Bradley street, New London. Attorney John J. Lawless represent- ed Poe and waived the reading of the compliint and entered a_ plea of guilty to the charge of breach of the peace, which had been substituted for the charge of assault with intent to kill, orginally placed against Poe. Acting Prosecuting Attorney Clay- ton B. Smith told the .court that a thorough investigation of the case had failed to produce any evidence to show any intent, such as was first charged. It was brought out in the course of the hearing that Poe had entered the saloon and while drinking several ne. groes took possession of a bundle which he carried and concealed it from him as a_joke. Repeated demands on his part for its return resulted in the trouble which led to the cutting of McSwane in the back of the head. Immediately afterward Poe disap- peared from the barroom and McSwane was assisted to the office of Dr. Jo seph M. Ganey in Main street. Mean- while Patrolman O'Donnell learned of the affray and was detailed to arrest Poe. In company with Patrolman N glo he went to Midway where they found Poe asleep in a bunk. It was brought out during the court hearing that Poe, who at first said he was set upon by a gang after he had entered the saloon @nd robbed of $4 in m , denied the allegation Wwhen int ewed by the acting pros- ecuting aftorney.
