ton and Vicinity.
Boston, May 2.-The principal diff
Guilty to occur On May day in New
England was the strike of more than
1,500 bakers in this city and nearby
places, including Cambridge, Lynn,
Salem, Brockton. Arlington, Rockland,
Stoughton, Northeastern. Weymouth,
South Weymouth and Bridgewater.
The strike was caused by the refusal
OF the master bakers to sign new
schedule calling for sixty-hour week
and SIG weekly for second hands and
$18 for fcremen. The larger hotels
and restaurants are not affected by
the strike.
Among other troubles are those
caused by the demand of 400 carpen-
ters in Springfield and Chicopee for
an increase of SO cents day. There
were minor strikes in the building
trades in other places, but in New Eng.
land as a whole the number of men in
voluntary idleness is smaller this year
than usual.

notable by the demonstration which
followed the offering of a resolution

parties entertained toward him. In a
graceful speech the speaker declared
his appreciation of the resolution.
Many conference reports were agreed
to on bills which had been in dispute
between the two houses. The only
points Of differences between the two
houses was the bill providing for the
reinstatement to the naval academy Of
three cadets who had been dismissed
for hazing, the house voting over
