 Over at the plant of the Eclipse Manufacturing company Saturday morning the striking employees were given their pay. They were told that those who came to work Monday morning could have their places back The places of those who do not report at that time will be filled by others Lawyer E. c. Morse. acting as spokes- man for the company, told the men that if they would remain he would guarantee that no harm would come to them and that complete police protec- ton would be given. He said that the laws Of this state completely protected them and tna- the laws would be en- forced. If they were insulted or threatened on the. streets. or if any person or persons entered their homes without their permission, they would be taken care of if the matter was re- ported to the police.

 little about 1t, but say enough to en able 1t to be known that fear of bodily harm is the biggest factor in the trou- ble. They all admit so far as they will say anything, that they have no griev- nnce against the company. It is known that number of the men formerly belonged to the unions in Boston, but had been dropped for non-payment of fines of a hundred dollars for some in fraction of the bylaws. Finding the Eclipse company was running an open shop. they sought and received em- ployment. This the unions learned and have offered to remit the fines, rein state the men in the unions and pay them wages until employment is found for them. if they will return to Boston. | The employees are nearly all Hebrews | One man who had trouble in Boston

The Quinebaug Valley High School Basketball league. comprising teams from Webster, North Grosvehordale, Putnam, Killingly and Plainfeld, will end its season the 18th of next month It now seems certain that the finals will be played off between Killingly and Putnam, as nothing else in the league can touch them. The superiority of Putnam over other teams was dem onstrated in the one-sided game which Putnam won from Plainfield Friday night. Putnam has games with Webster and North Grosvenordale on Putnam's floor and with Killingly and Plainfield on their floors. Killingly has games with Plainfield and Webster and Putnam on the Killingly floor. Unless the unexpected happens, Kil- linEly and Putnam will win their games and the showdown will come when the two teams meet for the deciding game Feb. 18th. Both teams have won from every other team, but Putnam won from Killingiy, which gives F. H. S. a lead of one game. If Killingly wins from Putnam on Killingly's floor, 1t will cause a tie which will have to be played off. The league standing to date follows:
