BIG STRIKE is THREATENED
Fifty Thousand New York Carmen
Workers May Go Out

New York, May 22.-Fifty thousand
workers in the New York garment
industry are ready for the biggest
strike that ever threatened the trade.
The pending war between the man
ufacturers and the unions really had
its beginning in the peace protocol
that ended the seven weeks strike OF
three years ago. Manufacturers
claim the unions treated the protocol
as scrap of paper. They hotly retort
that they are fighting for the rights of
a discharged worker to complain
against an unfair dismissal.

opened on Sunday when exercises
will be held. There will be sermon
in the afternoon at o'clock by Rev.
A "A. Houck, pastor of the local
Methodist church. Monday afternoon

ers, the van guard of the Chautau-
quans and the Methodists who will
have their golden jubilee celebrations

large delegations from towns in this

and 5th. Many of the veterans are
planning to attend and there will also
be representatives from the churches
in Plainville and vicinity.
Transact Little Business.

of q previous session and discussing

among the absentees. The members

definite action on any of the propo-

a committee will be appointed to
make the necessary arrangements for
the annual outing of the association
which will probaly be held during the

outing took the form Of a sheep bar
becue at Lake ompounce and it is

OWNED MUCH REAL ESTATE
Former Selectman Was Successful in
Business-Had Mining Stock Con-
sidered Worthless by Appraisers

According to the report of r. S.
Neal and A. H. Condell, appraisers on
the estate of Frank B. Newton, the
former selectman's property at the
time of his death few months ago
was valued at $33,295.21.
The inventory has been filed with

terms Of Mr.. Newton's will, his widow
comes into possession of the estate

While he had came into consider
able property by inheritance from the
estate Of his father, Mr.. Newton ac-
uuired money from bushes ventures.
He successfully conducted a grain and
livery business for number of years.
He was generous to fault and while
he had large property interests there
were times when his bank account was
low on account of a drain resulting
from his charities.
The inventory of Mr.. Newtons es-
tate shows that he was among the
New Englanders to succumb to the
lure of the et-rich-quick gold mines
and probably as the result of the glib
tongue of promoter he secured pos
session of mining stock certificates
