PLANT SHUTS DOWN
 WHEN EMPLOYES STRIKE
Randolph Cloves Company of Waterbury Suspends
 Operations.

Waterbury, Sept. 7.-The entire plant of the Randolph-Clowes com pany had to shut down this morning when 100 laborers employed in diff forent parts of the factory left their place of employment on a demand for an eight hour day and an increase in pay. The men have been paid $1.65 per day, but want $2. They simply walked out this morning, and it was said at the factory that no formal re- quest for an increase had been made. After the laborers had left, the ma- clljnists and rollers and others had to quit. ..a..57 sH
 The factory officials refused to give out any statement, except to say that the entire plant was practically closed.
 Two men, Carmel Novelle, and Sal- Natore Barnabo, were, arrested this morning, following a strike of labor CTS employed by the Sperry Construc- tlon company contractors for the new factory buildings being erected by the Scovill Mfg. company. These men, 100 in all, went out after filing a re- quest for $2.50 per day. Their pres- ent rate of pay is s2 per day. The men arrested, it is charged, refused to disperse when told to do so by Po- licemen Overton, and a small sized riot followed. Policeman Tanguay went to Overton's assistance and the two nlen were soon in the middle of the fight. Overton's club was seized and Tanguay was knocked to the ground, it is claimed was bitten by one of the crowd. After it was all over, Gin few minutes,) the police made the arrests of the men mentioned above. They were charged with breach of the peace.

SELLS HIS WIFE TO
 STRANGER AT PARTY
Price Is $1 and Mrs. William TuskOwski Leaves With
 Purchaser.

Wild eyed, his hair disheveled and with an expression of deep terror William Tuskowski of 3 East Lawlor street rushed tRo Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth's office at police headquarters this morning and con- fessed that he had sold his wife to q stranger for $1 and she was gone. He regretted his bargain and wants to pay back the dollar bill and in re- turn therefore have his wife returned to him.
 When the detective had looked to see if the padded cell was open and ready to accommodate guests he asked TuSkowski to tell his story. It was an unusual one. He said that yesterday afternoon he had a beer party ct his house and people came from far and near. Some he was &C., quainted with and some he was not. Everybody was welcome, however, and joy reigned supreme.
 During the afternoon an affable stranger who was able to drink more than William and still stand up, pat ted him on the back and informed him that Mrs. Tuskowski was a mighty nice look woman. Friend hubby was f1attered. He admitted it. He realized that he had picked out a wonderful woman when he asked his wife to marry him. A few more tall ones" were then disposed of by Tus- kowski and the stranger when ~he latter suggested a great bargain.
 If William would sell him Mrs. Tuskowski he would be willing to p.v as much as $1. He realized that was lot of money, but she was worth it for she had a reputation of being a great cook. William loved his wife, but oh! you dollar bill. After due consideration he decided that he could use the dollar to good advantage. 1t is well known fact that dollar bill will keep a persons thirst quenched for some time.
 Friend stranger disappeared. So did Friend wife. When William awoke this morning and called for ice water no willing little spouse ran into his bed chamber with it. Then he realized what he had done. He had sold the woman he loved to a stranger for $1 and worse than that she had appeared perfectly willing to be sold.
 Tuskowski has not the slightest idea to whom he sold his wife, but thinks the police should locate him just the same. The police on the other hand are keeping the padded cell open and ready for instant use but expect that Mrs. Tuskowski will return home be- fore long.
 Tuskowski told the police that the stranger came after his wife in hack at o'clock this morning, Ieav- ing him with receipted bill for ST. What to do with his several children is bothering William

IN FAVOR OF PLAN
 TO BOOM THE EAST
F. H. Johnston Would Have New England Association of Cham
 bers of Commerce.

Pursuant to plan advocated by Governor Walsh of Massachusetts a few weeks ago when visiting gover- nors considered a tour of New Eng land, steps are now being taken to organize the various Chambers of Commerce in New England into a New England Chamber of Commerce which will have to do with furthering the plans for the general good of all the New England states rather than for the good of any particular sec- tion. This matter has long been theory of President Frank H. John- ston of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce and he has often advocated it from the lecture platform. At present he is one of the strongest boosters for such an association.
 A meeting was held in Providence last week which was attended by the New England Association of Com mercial Executives. The spirit of the meeting showed that the demand for a central business body to rep- resent all New England is growing rapidly.
 Mr. Johnston states that he is heartily in accord with this move ment. He points out that at present the hundreds of commercial organi- zations about New England are work ing sincerely, but nevertheless sell fshly, for the good of their own communities alone. It is his plan, to have these bodies, which are repre- sented in their state organizations, in turn represented in a New Eng land organization. In this way the needs of the entire east can be seen and steps taken to keep the original thirteen states among the leaders in the United States.

BORDER SITUATION IS CONSIDERABLY RELAXED
Carranza Orders Troops to Quell Bandits Rangers
 Cause TrOuble."

Washington, Sept. "A days ces- sation of raiding on the lower Rio Grand and the announcement that General Carranza had ordered his commander at Matamoros to CO., operate in the campaign against Mexican bandits. led officials here to believe that the gravity of the border situation had somewhat relaxed. The four thousand American troopers in the vicinity of Brownsville still had orders, however, to be ready to handle any emergency. &.s ..-.
 Officials of the Washington govern ment read without comment a state ment by General Nafarrate, the Car ranza commander, that if he had to deal only with American military au- thorities the troops of the United States and the Carranza garrison could operate in harmony, but that if the Texas Rangers worked along the frontier they would cause trouble.
 Carranza's denial announced through his Washington agency that his troops had participated in the raids was received here after Gen. eral Funston had forwarded reports from Brownsville indicating that Carranza soldiers had fired across the border The reports explained, though, that Nafarrate had disavowed the shooting and offered to help in clearing the frontier of bandits.
 Elisio Arredondo, Carranza's Wash ington representative, after announce ing his chiefs denial, urged that the United States government investigate the origin of the border disturbances and intimated that they were started by Americans.

FInanCicrs DiSpIeased.

New York, Sept. 7.-International bankers here did not altogether rel ish today the news from Portland, Me-, that more than $65,O00,O0O in gold coin was speeding to New York to bolster Great Britains credits in this country. This, it Is believed is the largest single gold shipment ever made here by a foreign power. It comes, it was said, at a time when gold is wanted less than ever before in the history of the country.
 Bringing this mountain of gold to New York at time when the normal demands of business are lower than usual, and when the vaults of tn country are already choking with gold may, it is feared, accelerate the tendency toward imitation and specu- lation. Already, according to the weekly statement of the federal re- serve board as of Sept. 8, the gold reserve in national banks has reach ed the otal of $26s, s,000,0oO.
