NEED NOT MOVE.
Matters Now Satisfactorily
Adjusted.

Spencer, Nov. THE meeting con-
corning the removal of the Is employees
of the Worcester and Suburban cleo
trio railway who reside in Spencer,
was held this morning at o'clock, in
G. II. Aliens office. AS has been be-
fore stated, there has been much feel
ing among the business men of Spencer
and the employees themselves concern
ing the notice which has been posted in
the Leicester office lobby saying that
all employees of the Worcester and Su-
burban Electric Railway Company
must after Nov. 10 reside in Leicester.
Ever since that report many Spencer
people, especially the business men,
have been doing tall hustling for the
interests of the employees and have
been doing all in their power to have
them remain in Spencer. A week ago
tonight the business men tried to hold
meeting for this purpose, but it fell
through. Through the efforts of G. Fl.
Larkum and /. L. Prouty vice-pres-
dent of the electric railway company
the business men of Spencer were
brought together in conference with
superintendent and President r, c..
Watson of the electric railway com
pany this morning. There were about
10 business men present in behalf of
the employees, with the two officers of
the company representing the COM
panys interests. The business men
stated their case to the railway men,
and showed them plainly what a great
loss the employees would be especially
to them as well as to the townspeople
in general. Mr.. German then spoke in
behalf of the company and showed that
there had been a misunderstanding
among the employees over the reading
of the lately posted notice. Mr.. Cor
man said that he would not oblige a
single Worcester and Suburban en-
ployee who resides in Spencer to re-
move to Leicester, unless he chooses.
He very emphatically stated that no
man should be released if he did not
choose to move to Leicester, but would
receive a different run. We are not
doing this because we want to, but be-
cause we are obliged to if we comply
with the statutes.
President Watson also spoke briefly.
The meeting was very harmonious. ana
the business men were perfectly salts
fed with Mr. Germans proposition.

Grout camp No. 2 of Sons of Veterans
