STONINGTON
Striking Velvet Weavers Decide to Re- turn to Worlc-No Kicking Over Trolley Fares in Future.

The striking weavers of the Ameri- can Velvet company held another meeting at Little Mountain, Saturday, and concluded that three days of va cation without pay was ample. They decided to accept the company's offer and to return to work Monday morn ing. The trouble had a. rather unusual origin. Much of the help resides in Mystic, Pawcatuck, and even as far east as Westerly, and the company was desirous of having the employees live in Stonington, where there are plenty of tenements. As an induce ment to locate in Stonington the com pany offered an increase in pay Of five per cent to all employees who resided in Stonington borough. This was not pleasing to those who resided on the outside so they made demand for like increase and it was refused. Then the weaverS made a demand for an increase in wages of ten per cent That was refused and the weavers went on strike. In the meantime the company agreed to give all employees an increase of five per cent. in wages and this the strikers have accepted
