Efforts Being Made to Bring Elm
 ployers and Men Together.

Now that the strike of the carpen- ters. which has been on almost two years has been settled. efforts are be- ing made to bring together the ma sons. bricklayers and their former employers. Committees are working to settle the strike started q few months ago, and at union headquart- CTS to-day it was stated that the wrangle might be settled within a week.
 It was stated that the bosses are pleading for the men, who did not stick to the union and want them talk ell back without being fined. The un- ion men deny that they are endeavor. ing to go back to work as Individuals and claim that no such offer was made to the contractors.
 The settlement of the carpenters strike will affect about 100 men. Many of them are now out of town, but some of them will undoubtedly come back as their families and property are in this city.
 There is no telling how many buildings would have been erected in Waterbury during the past year if 1t were not for the trouble between cap ital and labor. Rents are scarce and a flew building is no sooner construct ed than there are any number of families looking for the rents. Rcnl estate business is booming and if the strike of the masons and bricklayers is soon settled things should buzz In Waterbury the coming year.

Gives Ben " Kelsey Some Credit
 h Settling CaTpsnteIs' Stlks.

Editor of The Democrat:
 Dear Sir-Permit me through the columns of your valuable paper to set Benjamin R. Kelsey's connection with thesettlement of the carpenters strike clear in the minds of those directly interested, as well us the public at large. After the Business Mems as- sociation had been requested to in tervene in the interest of peace the matter was referred by that body to MT Kelsey who was chairman of the board of arbitration. MT Kelsey set to work to find out what all the trouble was about and after persis- tent efforts succeeded in bringing the warning parties together. The re- suit is well known to all. It was not generally known to all involved in the strike that outside influences were brought to bear on both sides in order to bring the trouble to an end, but MT Kelsey Is entitled to the highest praise for the part he has taken, although 1t was his wish that his name should not be mentioned.
 Yours truly,
