her condition. With the money
secured from the sale Of the pop

her stock in trade for the day be-
fore making her rounds, aud has
been compelled to return home for
another supply. She is always
modest, neat, unaseuming and
oblidging, and if half the people
thrown on their own resources
would display one,tenth Of the
energy aud hustlinga ability she does
there would be . proportionate de
crease Of suffering and sorrow,

Meriden. Conn.,. Nov. 17.--Aside from the arrival of about twenty-five new workmen, Greeks and Italians. there were no new developments in the strike situation at factory "H' to-day. Police escourt was given the non-union work men to-day as on Monday. Hundreds of people lined the street at noon and night to look at the new corners. No signs of disorder was shown. 1
 State Organized M. H. Hanlon was in New York in conference with the exec utive committee of the International Metal Workers union in regard to the strike breaking methods being employ ed by the Silver company. He reported that President E. J. Lynch of the In- ternational union will arrive in Meriden tomorrow and he will attend the strik- ers' meeting. He will govern the next move to be made by the strikers. Ev- cry effort is being made to avoid a sympathetic strike.
 It was learned that the International Silver company has established an em- ployment bureau in Bridgeport. Eff teen of the non-union workmen who ar- rived here Monday were sent away this afternoon. Twenty more hands are ex- pected here tomorrow morning.

SHIPBUILDING HUSH-UP.
for settlement 10 Stop
 Inquiry. u$

New York, Nov. 17.-It was learned definitely to-day that active negotia- tions were in progress to force settle ment in the United States Shipbuilding company litigation, so that further pro- ceedings may be dropped and the hear- ing called off. A money consideration was named, and important interests to the suit were importuned to reach a settlement with the least possible de- lay. These negotiations, although push ed vigorously to-day, would not, it was said, prevent testimony being taken to- morrow if the hearing is not for some other reason postponed. Those work ing for compromise do not intend to omit to-morrow's hearing, but hope to reach settlement within week.
 Henry Wollman, counsel for the bondholders of the company, said to the Associated Press tonight: There are no negotiations for a settlement pend- ing. No settlement of the pending con- troversy will ever be made until new reorganization plan is agreed to by our adversaries that fairly and properly protects and takes care of all the bond- holders"
