Protection of Migratory Birds

The fish and game commissioners Of the state are heartily in favor of the bill introduced into the United States senate by Senator Mclean for the pro- lection of migratory birds. Commits sioner F. o. Davis, of the board, in a recent conversation said it was about time to do something to prevent the slaughter of birds in this state and in every state in the Union. Birds are destroyed in a ID amer that is revolting to the instincts of true sportsman. Birds that are not fit to be eaten are shot, and in way that gives them no chance for their lives. Thanks to the work of the legislature for the past few sessions the laws of this state are fairly strict for the protection of game, but they are not strict enough. So long as there are persons who will kill for the sake of killing there will be necessity for rigid game laws. If the migratory birds are not adequately protected in all the states of the Union there will soon be a noticeable decrease in the number of them, and in a short time some of the species will become ex- tinct. Commissioner Davis says he has noticed migratory ducks are show ing more confidence in people, and are venturing nearer houses than for merly.

Two Rrakemen Arrested

Arthur C. Cutler, married, freight brakeman, formerly of Springfield, now living on Oak Hill this city, and Walter k. Jones, passenger brake man of Beverly, Mass, were taken in- to custody in this city by Captain Murray and Station Agent Baldwin when their trains reached here late Sunday evening. Both men have runs between Boston and Hartford.
 The arrest followed an investigation of the loss of 50 mileage books in tran sit between Boston and Southbridge. The theft of a pocketbook from C. K. Foster, a baggageman of Willimantic, furnished the clue which led to the arrest.
 Cutler, when confronted with some of the evidence against him, admitted that he had been implicated in the af- fair. He accused Jones of taking the books which he, Cutler, helped to dis pose of. Jones was less talkative and would not affirm or deny his share in the business. The books had been dis posed .of in Beverly, Boston, Provi- dence and Hartford Two of them were found at Cutters home in this city.
 After some talk the men agreed to go to Boston, and were turned over to railroad detective James Carroll of Hartford, who came here on the early train Monday morning. They left on the noon express.
 It is thought that the breaks at some Of the way stations between here and Wfilimantic was the work of Jones who broke in for the purpose of using the office stamp to stamp the mileages
 As soon as the,men reached Boston they were turned over to Inspector Angel, who held an indictment war. rant for Jones. Both men are charged with the larceny of fifty 500-nile mile age books valued at S500 on April g. Jones was taken to the Superior Court where he pleaded guilty to 1.-the charge of larceny and was held in $500 for sentence on Friday. Cutler was ar- rsigned in the police court on Tues day

Clean Up Week

A blowing of whistles and ringing of bells at s o'clock Saturday morning ushered in the last day of Cleanup Week. While the time set for clean Ing up expired at sundown Saturday night the work has been continued this week as all of the refuse piled up had not been removed.
 A large amount of debris has been carted off and some of the most un- slightly spots in the city were made spick and span fer the first time In many years. Hundreds of loads of the waste material was carted away to the dumping grounds. In removing the piles of filth many rats and snakes were made homeless. The workers un- covered in one spot nest of score of the former and at another several of the latter, which were killed.
 The league is we'll satisfied with the amount of work accomplished and feel that the city has been beautitied and made a more healthy place to live in. But the work will not be dropped. The organization has been made permanent and an endeavor will be made to keep the city in its clean state The league is gratitied at the way property owners responded to their requests to pick up rubbish and are especially pleased and thankful to those who furnished teams and gave their services in removing the rubbish piles.
 CARD OF THANKS
 The Clean City League desires to ex- press it's gratitude to the press, owners of teams, Co the fraternities who con tributed so generously and to all others who co-operaled with the League to make Cleanup Week success.

The School Situation

In regard to the present school situ- ation E. II. Johnson, acting school visitor, has the following to say:
 "At the last meeting of the town school comminee the salaries of the principals of the High school and the Israel Putnam school were each re- duced S250.
 Eric II. Johnson, who has been the acting school visitor for a good many years and has selected and supervised the teachers during that time, was strongly opposed to this action, and claimed that even from money stand point It would be false economy, as the town would probably lose the tuition money of so many outside pupils, and that educationally 1t would result in the almost total disruption of our whole school system.
 It has now become evident that the town is to lose nearly every teacher in the High school, the best set as g whole the town has ever had, and nearly all the Israel Putnam teachers and that the loss in tuition from tht Pomfret pupils, who will not return next year, will be very large, if it does not reach the entire sum of $500, ths amount received last year.
 In consequence Of this demoralizes condition, the injury to the town il it's reputation for good schools, an, the discouraging outlook for the flu ture, Mir. Johnson has handed in hi resignation as acting school yisito 1 and member of the teachers commit l tee.n

The Mechanicsville Strike
 Outlook Bad for Speedy Settlement

The striking mill operatives of the French River Textile Compan held
 meeting in Foresters' hall Thursday afternoon, and again Friday afternoon and discussed the situation. The strike was caused by fine of 90 cents being imposed on weaver for loose thread which was not dis covered until the cloth reached the sewers. The strikers claim that there was an agreement that no fines would be imposed after the cloth left the
 weaving department. The agent says there was no such agreement. When the fine was imposed the conn.,
 mittee waited upon the superintend- | ent and getting no satisfaction return ed to the weave room and passed the word around to stop the looms at four o'clock, which was done.
 Since the last strike some two ! months ago many of the weavers have become affiliated with the l. w. w..
 and representatives of that organiza-
 tion have been here managing the strike.
 Carrying out plans agreed to at the Fridsy afternoon meeting picket line was established Saturday morning. About 200 strikers lined up iE the highway, and as the operatives in the | other departments, mostly women, went to the mill, tried to dissuade them from going in. Some names were called, but no violence was at tempted.
 In the meantime Agent Waterman had given notice to all occupants of the company's tenements and at the French River Inn that unless they came to the mill Monday morning they would have to leave the village. Several deputies were also sworn in
 and have been on duty since Thursday
 night. The help was paid ioff Friday
 morning.
 Monday afternoon a meeting of the
 strikers was held in this city. The
 following is partial list of grievances
 that have been drawn up:
 1. Any cloth after going over the
 perch in the weaving department to
 be considered finally inspected and no fines imposed thereafter for imperfec- tions that may be found. Zines are
 now imposed for imperfections found
 at the inspection in the weaving de- partment.)
 2. That Mrs. Carrie Jasmin, Put nam, skein winder, be reinstated. (The strikers claim that Mrs. Jasmin
 was discriminated against when she
 was laid off a few weeks ago.l 3. That list be posted in the sew
 ing department so that the sewers
 may know just what they are to re-
 ceive for each piece of work they do. fThe strikers claim that the sewers
 under the present system do not know
 how much they are to receive until
 they draw their weekly pay1 i. That all skilled and unskilled la bor that has been employed in the mill
 be granted an increase Of , per cent.
 in their weekly pay, that they may re- ceive a similar advance as was granted
 to some of the other employees few
 weeks ago.
 5. That drawing in hands and weavers not be fined for "extTa head les" (The strikers claim that the 1 drawing-in hands now receive only 70 cents a thousand, whereat in other

 6. That in future there be no dis animation against any of the work CTS at the mill
 On Tuesday committee from the strikers met Agent C. F. Waterman, and conference lasting for an hour or two was held. No agreement was reached, and meeting of the strikers was held in the afternoon for further discussion. It is unde rstood that there will be another meeting of the com- mittee and agent today, Wednesday.
 The committee of the strikers again called on Agent Waterman this We'd nesday morning and presented practi- cally the same list of grievances as were submitted yesterday. 1t is un- derstood that MT. Waterman told the committee that unless they changed their requests materially it would be useless to call upon lhim further. From this it would appear that the mill will be shut down for some time unless the operatives modify their de- mands. The outlook for speedy set- tlement of differences is not bright.
 A benefit dance will be held by the strikers in Racicot hall. Webster, We'd nesday, June 9th.
 The following is the preamble to the constitution of the l. W. w., the or ganization conducting the strike;
 PREAMBLE
 The working class and the employ ing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hun ger and want are found among mil. lions of working people and the few, i, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.
 Between these two classes struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as class, take possess sion of the earth and the machinery of production, and abolish the wage sys-s tenn.
 We find that the centering of the management of industries into fewer and fewer hands, make the trade unions able to cope with the eyer- growing power of the employing class. The trade unions foster state of af- fairs which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the same industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars. Moreover, the trade unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that ths work ing class have interests in common with their employers.
 These conditions can be changed and the interest of the working sclass up- held only by an organization formed in such a way that all its members in any one industry, or in all industries, if necessary, cease work whenever strike or lock out is on in any depart ment thereof, thus making an injury to one an injury to all.
 Instead of the conservative motto: IA fair days wages for fair days work, - we must inscribe on our ban ner the revolutionary watchword; sAbolilion of the wage system"
 It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with the capitalism. The army Of production must be organized, not only for the everyday struggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have been over thrown. By organizing industrially we are forming the structure Of the new society within the shell of the old.
 Knowing, therefore, that such an or ganizatiou is absolutely necessary for our emancipation, we unite under the following constitution.

A writer has now come to his defense
and says that when he was boy an
