Danielson has more than a passing in- tarest in the fact that 700 employes of the mills of the Aldrich Manufacturing company at Moosup went on strike Wed- nesday. Danlelson is interested in the situation from more than one important viewpoint. It s interested because the strike at Moosup is the first consolidated effort of organized textile workers in this part of sastern Comnecticut to obtain recognition from an employing company. It is inte- rested because Moosup is an important industrial center from which much trade comes to Danlelson, and a long drawn out strike would make its effects falt in bus- iness circles here. It is interested be- cause some residents of Danielson and other surrounding places wre numbered among the strikers. It was clearly stated Wednesday from what seemed & thoroughly reliable source that the Moosup strike is not a strike definitely against wages. hours of labor or conditions under which the employes lador, but & drive that has sofhething of & personal grievance angd an insistent de_ sire for recognition of the union back of it as impelling forces Sympathy with the striking textile workers in tne Paw- tuzet valley also figures in the situation, 't appears. The strike came as suddenly as the bursting of a shell, and made residents of all the textile centers in the busy man- ufacturing area along the Quinebaug Valley immediately regard it with inte- rost This st-ike comes in territory where union_textile labor has had practically no inflnence through all of the long man- ufacturini; history of Quinebaug Valley lowns or adjacent territory. It quickly tollows the formation of textile unions in Moosup, following the walkout early this wring in the Pawtuxet valley and other important cotton mill center in New England There are straws to indicate that man- ufacturers regard it as ominous, not be- ctause there is the slightest indication that the strike will not be a peaceful nd orderly one, but because its portends the advent of unionism into a field that has been almost entirely free of organized textile workers—and also, it may be truthtul sald, of all except extremely minor strikes and these at widely sepa rated interv Labor troubles have de- veloped at mills in the territory from Hme o time through the years of eourse, but there has not been a seriows er long Srawn out strike within memery. At Moossp Wednesday the big Unlo: mills, as the plant of the Aldrich manu- facturing company is familiarly known were closed and silent. The strike cer- tainly was no half-way matter on the frst day, which was marked by meetings of the strikers and conferences that it was hoped would lead to successful arbi- tration. There was no disturbance dur- Ing the day. The strikers were orderly and not inclined to be otherwise, -which was a hopeful sign in the situation. Late in the afternoon strikers declared they would hold out for recognition of their unions. No definite statement was forthcoming at the offices of the mill company, where, apparently, a policy of atchful waiting has been adopted. (on- ferences between representatives of the strikers and representatives of the mill sompany are hoped for today, it was stated Wednesday evening. The strike at Moosup was regarded as sarly as Wednasday evening as the first test of strength ever made in this ter- itory between unionized textile workers and & manufacturing concern. Where bours of labor and wages are not invol: #d in a strike and the principle that the anion must be recognized is a paramount issse it will be readily seen that the srike is somewhat out of the usual run » such affairs. The outcome will be watched with the keenest interest—by thousands of textile workers in this territory and by the di- recting heads of the big manufacturing soncerns that employ them. Leaders skilled in directing textile strikes were in Moosup Wednesday from New Bedford, Fall River and Rhode Is- RESINOL |ley, at Pawtucket and in New Hampshire towns and eitles. § Not all of the 700 empl of the Al- drieh Manufacturing company are mem- bers of the recently organized unlons at Moosup. ~Neither is the percentage of union membership clear. However, the strikers crowded the hall when the strike was decided upon Tuesday.evening. and there was great enthusiasm. And again on Wednesday' there was an over-capacl- ty crowd at an afternoon meeting held in a theatre. There have been rumors of dlscontent for several weeks past among workers of the Aldrich mills and this was more or less aggravated, it was stated Wed: nesday, by action ‘of the mill company in securing the ald of officers to. warn oft collectors who came to Moosup regu- larly to cbllect funds to be used for the relief of striking textile workers in oth- er fields. These collectors had no permit from the state board of \charities and, therefore, no legal right to engage in so- llelting in_this state. However, many of the strikers welcomed them and were ag- grieved when the collectors wers told by ofticers to depart from Moosup and not to return as solicitors. At the home of Luther Pilling, Nerth . Main street; Wednesday afternoon Miss Ruth Parker Farnsworth and Earl W. Pilling, both of Dedham, Mass, were united in’ marriage by Rev. C.'C. Tib- betts, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. The bridal couple was unat- tended. The wedding was a qulet home affair and the guests included only mem- bers of the families.

A report on the meeting and Mr. Hi cox’s interesting talk is set forth in the following item: . - . An unusually interesting meeting of the Woodstock League of Women Voters was Feld with Mrs, Richard Hicks at ‘West"™~ Woodstock. = After the business meeting, the half héur of instruction in parlismentary law was conducted by Mrs. L. H. Healey, - By invitation of the 'league, Ollver Hiscox gave a most instructive talk on the early history of Woodstock, telling of its purchase by the peoplé of Rox- bury, how fity of them with thelr house- hold goods journeyed in their ox carts to the new settlement, of the allotment of the land and the building of homes, 2 real old-fashioned observince of a holiday, the crowd there is expected to be immense. .~ Games, contests, speech mak- ing and fireworks are included as features of a programme that will extend from early. morning until late at night. Mrs. Charles Jencks, widow of the man whose badly mutilated body was found near the railroad track where an attempt was made to wreck a freight train on the New Haven south of here early this month, her daughter and :he latter’s husband, have been in Daniel- churches and schools. He described some of the Indian tratls and the locating of the first roads. The ploneers coming to the wiider- nesc were obliged to themselves manu-| facture many of their necessities and Mr. Hiscox showed a sample of iron ore, mined In Woodstock and hand wrought pafls which had withstood the weather' for one hundred and fifty years. He dwelt at length upon the many 'n- dustries in the Woodstocks of one hun- son and Mrs. Jencks conferred with Cor- orner Arthur G. Bill relative: to the strange circumstances surrounding her husband’s death. Further strength that Mr. Jencks was murdered and did not figure in the attempt to wreck the train is lent the belief that he was the victim of some reckless individual or group of men, engaged as train wreckers when he happened along. Mrs. Jencks declares that one of her husband’s chief characteristics was his great consideration not only for Lis fam- ily, but everyone. He was always very careful to do nothing to’ annoy anyone or injure them in any way. ' He was of such a quiet and peaceful character that train_wrecking séems, as Mrs. Jencks describes -her husband, worlds removed from_ anything he ever did or. said. Mrs. Walter ¥.
