MACHINESIS VOTE

SCHEME C1ADY
Two Thousand Men Return to
Work Tomorrow
TROUBLE BEGAN FIVE WEEKS AGO
General Electric Company Offered
Nine and One Half Hour Day
and Wage Increase.

Albany, Nov. 4--The General Elec
tiic strike at Schenectady is ended,
The machinists voted last night three
to one to return to the plant tomor
row morning, marking the end of a
strike which affected 1000 machin'
lists and steamftters for five weeks
and 1000 other workers for three
weeks. The ending of the strike
means resumption of business
which had suffered severely for more
than a month,
The machinists, deserted at the
last hour by the steamfitters who vot-
ed late yesterday afternoon to return
to work Friday morning hurried to
the United Peoples church in Jay
street and voted 332 to 107 to return
to the plant. At the close of the
meeting it was said the strikers had
not voted to accept the company's
proposition, but the vote to return
viii prove, it is believed. to be a full
settlement of the difficulty, less an
admission OF defeat on the part of
the striking maohinists.
The adjustment was brought about
through the activity of the Schenec-
tady Board of Trade. Its executive
committee met the strikers commit
tee Saturday afternoon and had a
free, open discussion of the whole
situation.
Later the strike committee met
Mr. Emmons The committee asked
antee that there would be no diserim-
ination against the strike leaders If
the men returned to the plant. Mr.
Emmons guaranteed this and compli-
mented the strikers upon their game
tight and for the excellent order main
tanned at the picket lines.
The strike occurred on October 4.
Three weeks later all except the ma
chnists and steamhtters returned to
work accepting the companyis offer
OF a nine and one-half hour day with
FIVE per cent increase Immediately
and a nine-hour day and another five
per cent increase in wages October /,
1916. For the last two weeks the
machinists and steamftters have
fought. for the eght-hour demand
alone. but it was evident that time
that the company would not grant
1000 OF its workers better conces-
sions than had been accepted by
l1,00c.
The proposition. virtually accepted
by the striking machinists is the same
offered before the strike was called.

WHITLock COMING HOME
Minister to Belgium III and Needs a
Rest

Washington, Nov. 4.-Brand Whit.
lock- American minister to Belgium,
cabled the state department yester-
day that he was preparing to return
to the United States for a vacation
on account OF ill health. Mr.. Whit
locks decision, he advised the state
department. was pursuance of orders
from his physicians. Officials had
known of his ill-health for some time,
and several weeks ago he was in
structed to leave whenever his con-
dition required it.
In view of the rumors published
abroad that Germany had asked Tor
the recall of Mr. Whitlock on account
OF his report on the case of Miss Cav
ell, the nurse executed for assisting
British and Belgian prisoners to es-
cape, officials stated emphatically at
Washington last night that the min
ister's departure, so far as they are
aware, was entirely of his own initia-
tive and in no way connected with
the Cavell incident. They pointed
out that permission to leave had been
granted before Miss Cavell was ar
rested and said they saw no reason
why he should not return to Belgium
after he recovered from his illness.

London, Nov. "A story OF the
Serbian tragedy received from Nish
by way of Milan, from the pen of Luc
iano Magrini, an Italian war cores
pondent printed in the Evening
News The writer characterizes the
clearance Of northern Serbia as the
retreat of people, not of an army.
In his account of the retreat the
correspondent describes the scene on
a muddy road leading to the south,
along which was strung an unending
procession of gun carriages, carts
loaded with war material, conveyanc-
es ali sorts bearing women, chill
dren, old men, sick and wounded,
with at intervals fiocks of sheep and
droves of pigs and of soldiers walk
irg side by side with peasants At
the sides of the roads stood groups of
peasants, waiting until they were
abe to take their places in the pro-
cession THE great stream is How
ing southward," says the writer.
whittier nobody knows"
The wounded were pitable sight.
Some swathed in bandages, were car
ried on. stretchers, while others, also
bandaged were walking because no
stretchers were available for them.
Still others who had been wounded
but whose hurts had not even been
bandaged trod the road with the pro
cession.
AT Topolo, Kinf Peter, i'll and weak
was waiting to retire with the rear
guard of his troops. Arriving at
Nish. the correspondent found the
city bearing a squalid aspect. Al
most all the shops were still flying
the flags which had been hoisted in
honor OF the Allies who had been eX-
pected but who had never come. The
price demanded for carriages for
transporting refugees was enormous
$40 $4,000 being asked for the hire
of carriage for two to Pristina.
'Nish is isolated" continues the
correspondent. M. Youvanoyitch,
the Serbian minister of justice said
to me: I'VE lived through the tragic
hour when Bulgaria was modified.
In vain we besought the entente to al
low us to act and attack Bulgaria be-
fore her mobilization was complete.
The entente was still under the delus
ion that Bulgaria would march
against Turkey. We obeyed and that
was our ruin The situation now is
terrible. If the troops do not come in
time you will on your return find
Serbia no more The fate of Belgium
will have been ours.

KEEP THEIR MINDS OCCUPIED
How Bennington Restraints Young
People on Halloween

Possibly if Rutland grown-ups
made the same effort to look after
the young people of this city that
the citizens of the little city OF Ben
nngton do there would be less of
rowdyism and pranks on Hallowe' en-
night, less endangering of lives by
throwing wire over electric wires,
and like mischief Saturday night in
Bennington the young people were
all too busy watching the parade, or
participating in other sensible events
arranged by citizens to think of
pranks. First in the procession
came ghosts and after them the city
band. This was followed by float
representing the witches den. Then
there was the herald announcing the
King and Queen of Halloween spooks
with retinue OF ghosts. Then there
were Jack o. Lantern bearers, mask
ers, witches, ghosts, devils, clowns,
Charlie Chaplins galore, and many
other clever costumes. too numerous
to mention. In all about $50 persons
participated and several thousands,
despite the lowering weather, watch.
