DERBY MAYORS EFFORT TO END
 STRIKE FUTILE

These were the principal de- velopnents at the big meeting of the BIumenthaI strikers with Mayor Sullivan of Derby:
 Blumenthal refuses to treat with his strikers as such.
 Offers to take former em- ployes back as mill conditions permit.
 Agrees to institute weekly pay day and 55 hour week, also to punish grating employes.
 Strikers reject peace terms suggested by Mayor Sullivan, demanding reinstatement with out discrimination, and consid- eration of their grievances BE- FORE not after returning to work.
 Mayor Sullivan says his mes sage is the last word Blumen-i thai will send to his strikers.
 MatiIda Rabinowitz, spokes- man for the strikers, says they are determined to stay out of the mill until card service sys- tenn is abolished, and intimates that other demands may be ar bitrated through direct deal ings with the body of strikers by either BIumenthal or one with authority to act. Says strikers do not demand BIumenthaPs signature to any agreement. only his word, for if his promises are not kept, an- other strike may be called.

North River, New York by boat. This was on the occasion of visit to New York of King Henry of Prus- sfa some years ago.
 His next step was when he ascend- ed in a. dirigfbIe at Coney Island in 19O6sz He made his first ascent in a heavier-than- air- machine in. 1909. when he ern barkedz in an .aeroplane in the west From that time on he persisted in his efforts to master the air and met with large measure of success
 The field which Hamilton sought was unlimited and. he made flights in various quarters of the globe.
 He toured China. and Japan and following a flight in the latter coun- try was received by the Mikado. He was associated with the international Aviators, composed of several daring g spirits who came to grief when their funds gave out in Mexico. Hamilton was thrown into prison incommuni- cando and obtained his release only by brihing his jai1er.
 At various times during his career Hamilton had nearly every bone in his body broken and for the past two years had worn a. silver plate in his head as the result of a fall in Penn sylvania when he fractured his skull.
 Hamilton was married twice. His first wife, a Bridgeport woman, ob- tained a divorce. His second wife, whom he married lastssunnmer, was daughter of John Lawson. of New York City.
 His notable flying record in this state was made on June II. 1911, when he flew from New Britain to Hartford, to the state capitol and re- turn. Tse flight was made in the late afternoon and was witnessed by thou sands of working people as they were hom reward bound from their places of employment. To most of them the spectacle was a novel one for there had been few flights of aeroplanes in the state up till that time. Hamilton made his flight about a week after the bill requiring registration of air men had been signed by Governor Baldwin.
 Hamilton was a frequent visitor to this city where he was known in news paper circles. During the aviation meet here two years ago at the aero drome in Stratford he was a specta- tor of the flights by Lincoln Beachy and McCurdy. He had fallen while in the air s21 times and told local newsA paper men that he expected to have 2S falls before he met death. His first wife was Miss Jennie Lugan, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Christopher Iugan of 1544 Park avent1e.
 The first Mrs. Hamilton divorced her husband because of his intemper- ate habits. After her divorce she went to live with her parents while shortly afterwards her husband married the second time.
 Had Hamil4on been prudent in his habits he would have amasSed 8 for tune as he was a. star performer in the air and received big money for his work. One of his most sensation al flights was from Atlantic City to Washington in company with another 7nG-G l. r~4<- Ill., fiisRnt he called Bill Hanna. of New Britain one side and handed him a wad of bills amounting to thousands of dollars to keep for him in event of mishap. He made his first stop outside of Baltimore and telegraphed Hanna to send him on one thousand dollars and the next day te1egraphed for another $1,00O.
 He had been robbed several times of large amounts.

clothes hung in the back
Finally, in desperation, he bought
a chifonier for his own use, and when
he reached home that day nc found
the chinoner turned around with the
mirror tipped forward. His wife was

which she suffered collapse and

is dead. or he would return!"
As l.ysander John read. his tears
welled up and fell

he said. deserves better treatment
