relative to the Neidringhaus decision.

UNJUST CONTRACT SYSTEM,

It Is to be Abolished in the New Haven
 Clock Co.'S Shop.
 The contract system will be abolished at the New Haven Clock company's shop on January 1. It was abolished in some departments of the shop months ago. and on January 1 the obnoxious system will disappear from the shop al together.
 Under the contract system, the con- tractors made enormous salaries, paying their men so much a day. Under the new system the contractors will be re- placed by we'll paid foremen, and the operatives will be paid according to the work they do instead of SO much per day.
 Thus the company holds each opera tive responsible for his work, and gives him chance to make good wages. The company has of recent years, turned out first class work, and it expects that the new system will produce an improve ment.
 There are about 700 hands employed in this shop and about 100 contractors.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS SUED.
An Interesting Case to be Tried Mex
 Week.

An Interesting Case to be Tried Next
 Week.
 An inte eresting suit is to be tried next week in the superior court. It is that of Mrs John O'Grady of New Haven vs Roderigo council, K. of c. Mrs O'Grady's husband was member of the council and died about a year ago Previous to his death he had been re- miss in paying his dues, but his wife heard of it and during his last illness paid all that was due to the financial secretary and the payment was ac- cepted.
 When O'Grady died some members of the council objected to the payment of his insurance on the ground that he was not a member, his dues having been un- paid. They said that the payment of all the arrears in a bunch should not have been accepted, as during the time that O'Grady was sick several payments had lasped, and he should have been ex- pelled. Upon this the council instructed the financial secretary to return the money to Mrs O'Grady and notify her that the insurance benefit would not be paid. Mrs O'Grady refused to accept the money and brought suit. The de- fense will claim that. inasmuch as her money was accepted in payment pf dues, she is entitled to the benefit.
