Paymaster William Duggan when called to the stand, testified in detail to his going to the mill, and described the loldup by Delgran in the lower tower| ! entrance. The first statement in the line of corroborative testimony that! plainly incriminated Gerard, was that in which Mr. Duggan swore that after he had been held up, Delgran called to someone up ‘the stairs, then Gerard of the land and was with the paymaster's usual custom, did the spotting from the carding ro windows, and tiped off his accomplice hidden in the tower cellar, time for the heavy work to begin.

Norwich Aeric in response to the request of the national commission on old age pen- sions of this fraternal order has apoint- ed Jobn Shugrue, chairman, Victor Pay- ment, H. Siiverstein, N. Suilivan, J. Lei- riet as the local committee. This commit- tee will immediately begin steps to or- ganize cld age pension clubs in this com- munity. The purpose is to arouse public sentiment in favor of old age pensions in the hiope that. the next legislature will pass an old age pension bill that will be ab- praved by the governor to become effective at an early date. Non-Eagles as well as Eagles and other organizations will be in- vited to participate in the formation of the club which will b= a civic organization rather than a purely fraternal one. Aft- er the committee has worked out its plans, announcement will be made In the local press. This action of the local aerle, simply carries out a detail of the plan formufated and adopted at the national convention of the order, the Grand Aerie of 1921. The Eagles have ever been forward in originat- ing and s-tporting measures to promote the welfare of the people, particularly those who do the hard work of the world, and, as a rule, are not well paid for their services. Among thess Eagle-supported propositions are the laws providing com- pensation for accident and oce.ational dise: maximum hours of labor for wo- men and children, healthful conditions for working and living and pensions for wi- ed mothers. was, then, to be expected that this rnity should promptly espouse the of the disabled Iveterans in our in- | system—the men, who having spent the vigor of their vouth and the strength of their manhood in productive bor, find themselves “scrapiped” at 60 or 65, being no longer able to “carry on” with the swift-moving machinery of the present age. The problem is not confimed to this country. It Zonfronts the entire civilized world, and nearly every nation, except the United States, has made efforts to solve it. In some cases the proposed solution takes the form of voluntary or compulsory insurance. But the stern facts show that this does not meet 126 requirements of the case. So, the most humane and progres- sive nations are adopting the old age pen- fon lan. It it this plan that the Eagles are supporting because, wherever trl it has proved to be the most just, benefi- cent and, in proportion to the good ac- complished to the good accomplished, the least costly. Accordingly, the last grand aerle, by unanimous action, not only declared in favor of old age pensions, but provided a working educative projaganda for secur- ing the enactment of laws estabMshing state-paid old age pensions. A natfonal old age pension commission was appoint- ed with Past Grand Worthy President Frank E. Herring, editor of The Eagle Magazine, as thairman, to devise ways and means for such propaganda, and $35,000 was appropriated to enable said commission to carry on the work. This commission has grepared and is distrib- uting a pamphlet which sets forth the ne- cessity for such penslons and shows what has been done by various nations along tCHOES FROM THE LODEE ROOMS and raftes The halls are stirred by diabolic langhe er. —J.
