REMEMBERED THEIR EMPLOYEES.
The huntington, winooski and Colchester
Mills Pay Back Wages

An important decision was reached Sat
urday by the directors OF the new mill
corporation controlling the Burlington
WOODEN, Colchester and WinoosSi ~orsted
mills at Winooski. recently sold at auction.
At meeting of the corporation a. final
dividend of 1S.G per cent, ba sed upon the
sale of the mill, was declared TO all credi-
tors. At the time of the collapse q year
ago by order of the United States Circuit
Court. in compliance with the statutes,
the employees of the mills were preferred
creditors to the extent of $50 apiece which
money was paid them in full. The re.
naming amount due them, however, went
with the rest and was subject to the final
adjustment. This amount reached nearly
$500. There was also claims from the
creditors of the company in Winooski,
burlington and other portions of the State
aggregating $500. a total of $1,000. Upon
the recommendation of Hon. Il. e. Smalley
Mr.. Henry G. Nichols president of the
new corporation. decided to pay these
amounts in full which was done on Satur-
day. This magnanimous action on the
part of the new concern was purely in tho
interest of the employees and the other
creditors interested and reflects great
credit to both Agent Smalloy, President
Nichols and Mr. Thomas Patterson. treas
urer. Of New York. This is in very way
indicative of the prompt. vigorous and hui
