Counsel for the opposing sides in
the Thompson fund matter are unable
to agree on what sort of decree shall
be drawn up and submitted for the sig
nature of Judge John w. Hammond of
the Massachusetts supreme court, and
in consequence another hearing will
take place in Boston today. A. f.
Schwenk of this town will represent
the local society of seamstresses, nee
dlewomen and shop girls at the hear

trustees recently submitted to Mr..
Schwenk for approval was in no way
satisfactory to him and so he drew one
which followed more closely the sug-
gestions made by Judge Hammond.
This, however, was not satisfactory to
the trustees and the matter stands
thus.
