For %the past three weeks he has been confined to his home here. Mr. Robinson was one of Norwich's best knewn and highly respected eci zen, a man of sterling qualities, upright and kind, a man whom it was always a pleasure to meet and eall friend. He was first elected to the office of city tax collector on June 6, 1898, and town tax collector on Oct. 3, 1898, succeeding George L. Griswold in both offices. Mr. | | capably fill the place. Robinson was first elected on the demo- cratic ticket but his unexcelled work in this office earned him the honor of be- ing nominated on both tickets and for many years he has been the only nomi- nee for the office at each successive elec- tion. In the office of tax collector he has served faithfully and well and it. will indeed be hard to find a man who can so Mr. Robinson was born in Norwich on March 23, 1865, the son of Maria D. and the late Thomas B. Robinsan. He| | traced his ancestry back to the May- flower and his grandfather, Thomas Ba- ker, was commissioned = captain in the ‘War of 1812 by Governor Gerry of Massachusetts.

After leaving the printing business Mr. Rob- inson conducted a news and cigar store in the old Shannon building, in Wwhieh he continued until his election to public office. Besides being a printer Mr. Rob- inson was a telegraph operator, having picked this up durving his - spare me- ments and it was he who first received here the news over the wire of the bat- tle of Saniago in June of 1898. On January 23, 1888, he was united in marriage with Miss Frances Rebecca Mather of this city. Mr. Robinson was a member of the Arcanum club, Gardner Lodge, No. 46, K. of P., and the New England Order of Protection, At one time he was a member of the old Wau- regan Hook and Ladder Company, No. 1. He is survived by onme son, Harold T. Robinson, and his mother, Mrs. Maria D. Robinson. Another son, Arthur, died several years ago. He also leaves an aunt in Portland, Me., and other rela- tives in that city. In the passing of Mr. Robinson the community suffers a loss that is deeply felt by everyone and those of his family who remain have the sin- cere sympathy of everyone who knew Mr. Robinson. STRIKE PROMISES TO DRIVE SHIPS FROM NEW LONTON All of the New London men who have been working as stevedores during the past few weeks, loading and unloading cargoes at the state pier in that city, and numbering approximately 150, quit work Saturday morning, following the appeals. of a couple of agitators who have been trying to accomplish this re- sult during the past few days. The men have been getting 62 1-2 cents an hour and they demand 75 cents an hour. A gang of local boys. some of them high school students, who, during their vacation last week, responded to the call for volunteers to work at unloading fruit and flour remained on the j A smaller gang, which was brought to New -London from New York, because of their experience in handling cargoes, and including experienced winchmen, did not strike. Most of the strikers are negroes. These men said their reason for quitting was because boys are being paid the same wages as they receive and they do not do as much work. They+said that they did not pbject to the payment of 62 1-2 cents an hour to, the hoys, provided the men be paid cents an hour. Resident Engineer Waldo Clarke said that unless the men return to work Monday morning the steamer Clarks- burg, with a cargo of linseed, which was docked Friday will not be unloaded at New London but will be sent to New York, Furthermore, no more ships will be brought to New London if labor trouble is to interfere with handling of cargoes. Mr. Clarke said that it was up to the local men, whether they want to work at good wages or no work at all. He said that no increase in pay would be granted and if the men want to Kill the business which the state pier is bringing it was in their hands to do so, and at the same time deprive themselves of good wages and steady work. 3 He concluded by stating that if the men want to return to work Monda: morning at the same rate of pay they will find the job waiting for them, but if they do nat show up the steamers will be sent from New London d it is doubtful if any further attempt will be mmk'. to bring other steamers to the port of New London. Engineer Clarke said Sunday night that he saw no prospects of a settlement of the strike and it looks as if he would have to send the vessels to some other port to be unloaded.
