ADVOCATE PURCHASE OF
 MAHAN- MORGAN PROPERTY
Interest in Proposition to Provide an
 Athletic Field in New London.

Much interest is manifested in the proposition presented at the special reeting of the New London court of common council Monday evening for the acquisition by the city of New London of the tract of land in Cedar Grove avenue, owned by the Moggan estate to be used as an thletic field. The property is ideally located for the purpose, being within easy access of the center of the city and at the same time sufficiently remote note to cause annoyance to adjacent residents.
 There is an urgent appeal for the securing of such a tract from instltu- tions like the Vocational school Bull kelley school the Y. M. c. A., the Civic league and the Playground as sociation. There is at present no suit able field available for athletic sports in New London and the lack of it has been keenly felt.
 The property could be procured for the moderate figure of $6,000 and such filling as is required could be done by the highway department at nominal cost The character of the soil is such that after the heaviest rain the surface would be dry in an extremely brick interval. There is room for two full size baseball dia- monds. a football gridiron and a quar- ter mile running track.
 A second proposition which meets with equal popular favor is that of acquiring a tract bounded by Broad, VauxhaIl. Parker and Ledyard streets, owned by Postmaster Bryan F. Ma han, to be utilized as public park. The spot is a most beautiful one and it's development as an attractive breathing place would add much to the appearance of that section of the city. It. too. can be secured for the extremely low price Of $6,G6U.
 The park commission has the funds available for the purchase of both tracts and has recommended that the transfer be ade. All that remains to complete the negotiations is the ap- proval of the council. The matter is now in the hands of the public prop erty committee. which will report at the next meeting.

Released on parole from the state prison in Concord, N. H., Monday fore noon, after having served one year and a day of a three year sentence, Burton L.

 The state police declare that he has served time in West Virginia, Mary lard, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Rhode Island, New Hampshire and in this state.
 According to the police, many of his operations for which ne has served time8have been forgeries. He has been active as real estate promoter in many communities and has also organ lzed numerous collection agencies in different localities, all of which, the police say. have been short lived

IRON WORKERS AT
 NOANk ON STRIKE
Palmer Shipyard Employees Not Sat
 isfied With Conditions.

Again have the iron workers em- ployed at the Palmer shipyard shown their dissatisfaction with existing conditions Aggravated by the meth ods of one of the foremen, who has been only recently placed in charge 100 of them walked out Monday after noon.
 Without an exception these men re- side out of town. Tuesday morning what work could be done with less than a dozen ironworkers was under way, but it is said to be practically certain that none of the strikers will return unless their demand for the discharge of this man is compiled with: Il is said the company will continue in it's refusal but nothing can be learned from the office as no one in authority will talk
 The foreman in question, whose name has not been learned. came here only few weeks ago with the crowd of men from Philadelphia and when they returned he remained.
 It is said that he was more of a driver than the men were pleased with and this might easily be believed were it not for the fact that Malcolm McNaught of Groton, who was for merly superintendent of the plant for short time, was well known for his ability to get the most and best work out of his men, and without exception eh was well liked. So it would appear there was some reason not manifest on the surface. There has been more or less trouble with the iron work CTS ever since MT. McNaught left the plant.
 It is told of the recent time when overWork and Sundays were paid for at double rates that one particular Sunday there were 24 men getting in double time on one boat for the aa- complishment of work which it took but one man to do finally.
