five days pay in some instances as long as 20 days, together with back pay besides. It is said to be con trary to state law to pay otherwise than once a week in Connecticut fac tories.
 Warden Barlow, in an interview with @ Farmer reporter yesterday, spoke harshly of the conditions being car- ried on as they were. The reported attitude of the B1umenta1 managers at Shelton was condemned and it was the opinion of the town head that had the officials been willing to meet the strikers committees looking for arbi- tration of the difficulties the town would not have been plunged into the great expense of 30 deputies, 10 special police and the loss Of trade tand gen eral depression which has resulted.
 The strfke-deputies are costing $5 per day each, plus $1.50 for expenses. It is contemplated visiting the owners of the factory in New York, and at tempting to have them consent to meeting the strikers committees, a tentative proposition to- such effect already having been refused by the io- cal BlumenthaI superintendent, Fritz StoIzenberg.
 It was learned today that MT. Do herty again took active charge of the OfBrien strike breakers in the fac tory and developments are soon looked for.
 There was no violence and but one arrest today in the person of Steve Glades,4 who, after conversing with a group of strike sympathizers, was seen to run away. He was promptly pIac- cd under arrest, probably as a peace measure.
 The first closing of a store in She1- ton during the strike is recorded in the case of TSonovan's grocery, which carried large credit trade amongst the strikers. The closing was volun- tary as far as could be ascertained today. Over 200 strikers are said to have secured their supplies through him, paying their accounts from their earnings when received at the mills. :

of the special uniformed force, who reached Shelton today. It is the be lief ot the residents that the effect of these drilled ard uniformed men, who are waiting their turn as guardians of the peace in New Haven, will tend greatly towards reducing the former clashes between the strik CTS and the chip p-on-the-shoulder guards and specials heretofore employed.
 At the mill, today, there was no ad- ditions to the strike-breaking force, the only persons being employed kbe- ing those strike breakers and guards already held in the mill at the expense of the management. A few local loom [ fixers who are authorized to continue the up-keep of the factory by the strikers, went to their usual 1abors.
 It was claimed by the I. W. w. lead CTS today, among whom Miss Matilda Rabinowitz, stthe Shelton Joan of Arc'' as she has been termed, is the head, that coup had been success fully carried out which prevented the bringing of several hundred strike breakers to Shelton from Passaic to- day. a
 It was alleged that F. L. Garety, tThe Efficiency Man. who, it is claimed by the strikers, has done much to- initiate the strike, atten pted through invitations to Passaic, N. J., weawers to bring many of them here. It is said they had been assured there was no reason why, as organized labor, they could not come to Shelton It is further reported that the l. w. w. leaders learning Of the attempt, frustrated it through their organiza- ton in Passaic. Garety returned to- day without additional help.
 Investigation today disclosed that one of the principal causes of the strike was the system under which the workers were paid There are but two pay-days month1y-the 4th and 18th of each month If either of these falls on a Sunday the payments are withheld until the next payday This means the holding of four or

The immobility of Mrs. Car

BY JESSIE A. FOWLER.

MINEOLA, n. Y, Oct. 23. -
The remarkable mystery that
shrouds the character of Mrs.
Florence Carman has been, and
is still, the talk of the hour. Few
women, IL any, in past history or
present, have shown SO much
guardedness of emotion or have
stood the battering or criticism as
she has.
Her intellect is above the aver
age, and she is capable of doing
brilliant work that calls for sa-
gacity, foresight, and organizing
ability. She certainly is a mas
terful woman in many respects,
and has much of the character OF
her father in her organization.
She Is not what we might call a
feminine woman, but is more like
a Caesar, if there could be a FEM
mime Caesar!
Her whole face is expressive OF
a strong character. First, we
find the eyes are large, round
and open, very dark steel-gray I'm
color, and remarkably cold in ex-
preston for a woman. They OK
press the power to judge anoth-
er's actions, and the look in them
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-10-23

betokens what we find in the
firm, positive mouth and lips.
and the positive chin below.
The eyes seem to glory in look
ing through person, and they in
dictate a jealousy which cannot be
controverted. No feature of her
face incriminates her more than
her jealous eyes, and IL she has
committed the crime of murder
ing an innocent woman by acct
dent-as II is alleged-she may
have wished only to brighten in
stead of to kill-and wishes to
divert suspicion from herself, she
should soften the expression of
her eyes and allow her face to re-
lax it's hardness, coldness and
flint-like composure.
She appears to us her own
worst enemy, as i'm the strength
of her composure, the firmness
of her lips, the set expression of
her jaw, the daring that is In her
eyes she shows the possibility OF
her handling a revolver without
timidity or emotion.
In an uncontrolled state OF
jealousy many crimes have been
committed. But, unlike that of
Nine. Genevieve Caillaux, who
admits her love for her husband
