States, our dependencies and Cuba France has lost 100000 acreso Of beet
sugar land to Germany, but Germany suffers from the prevalent scarcity,
and has been forced to limit consumption of sugar at home. The result

Friday

As on Thursday, no ears on the road were run on the Putnam division Fri day. During the day fifteen detectives from New York arrived at Dayyille and the officials of the road announced that cars would be run on Saturday. With this announcement the strike began to take on more serious aspect and the public began to feel that 1t might be a long drawn out affair. Both sides were standing firm. During the afternoon the road posted the follow ing notice in the Dayyille car barn:
 "The management of the Shore Line Electric Railway Co. hereby notifies all concerned that 1t has secured a suf- ficient number of employees to operate it's Hines in full on all divisions and that those employees who have failed to report since June l will lose all privi- leges, seniority of rating, etc., with the company unless they report to their local superintendents or to the office in Norwich not later than June 3. Elm pIoyes who do not report as above be- fore the time stated may secure their wages and any other amounts due them in the proper manner.b
 Shore Line Electric Railway Co.
 5. Anderson, General Manager.
 This notice was read at meeting of the strikers in Dayville. It was said after the meeting that the men would not report for duty. One of the strik CTS said that the men had the upper hand and had the road tied "hand and footn He said that they had the best of assurances from the connecting lines in Rhode Island and Massachu- setts that If the company ran It's cars to the borders Ithe crews from these two states would refuse to operate cars that met cars run by sthkebreakers.

Obituary
Mrs. AlmIra K. Sampson

Mrs. Almira R. Sampson died at her home, 34 Center street, Friday, June 2, at a little past noon. She left one son, Frank Wellman, of Upton, Mass, who with his wife was with her when she died.
 She had been a resident of Putnam about ten years and while of rather self-contained nature she had made many warm friends who had taken delight in association with her.
 She had been d member of the Meth. odIst church for a great many years. Her health for the past few years had prevented a regular attendance at the church services.t
 She was possessed of a very bright intellect and was we'll informed on great variety of subjects, so that il was a pleasure to converse with her. For a few years she taught school. She was so expert in fancy needlework that she had nude a reputation in that line.
 She was born in Chepachet, R. l., April 23, lS4S, which made her 6S years of age at her death.
 The funeral was held at her home Monday at ? p. m, Rev. George D. Stanley of the Methodist church of ficiating. Ebert Kinney, Arthur Tourtellottee, Edwin and Elmer Wood were the bearers. The floral offerings were many and choice. Interment was in Grove street cemetery by the side of her husband.

Automobile Flows Through Ditch
Samuel Sacher Taken to Hospital

Samuel Sscher, designer in the plant of the Eclipse Manufacturing Com pany, was taken to the Day Kimball hospital last Friday night after he had been thrown from his automobile just west of the pumping station in Harris vile. He was found to be suffering from severe contusions on his body but nothing of a dangerous nature.
 Sscher purchased second hand automobile week or two ago and was planning for some pleasant rides this summer. At the hospital Friday he told a friend, "No more automobiles for me"
 Saeher was coming from Woodstock in the machine about ten o'clock Fri day night with Edgar lChampeau act ing as driver of the ear. In trying to make the turn west of the puming station the car ran into the ditch at side Of the road and plowed along for fifty feet or more. Both occupants of the car were thrown out but young Champeau escaped without scratch. The machine was badly damaged.
 Chsmpeau says he made wideturn and the front wheel struck a stone at the side of the road and did something to the front wheel that prevented him from making the corner. Sacher says all he remem bers is that they started around the corner. He doesn't re- member a thing after that.

News That Strike is Settled


 Tuesday morning came the welcome news that the strike had been settled by an agreement signed at Norwich.
 The men on the Putnam division ex- sessions made. They get an increase from minimum of 2S to 26 cents an hour and a maximum of from g to 32 cents per hour.
 President Perkins stated Tuesday evening that the agreement signed embraces practically the same offer that he made the men May l9, with the additional clauses granting the men ten cents an hour for overtime and meal tickets when they are not able to leave their runs long enough te go to their homes or boarding places for meals. President Perkins stated that the agreement signed does not carry with it union contract. This means that the Shore Line system will be operated under the open shop rule.
 When questioned in regard to the matter Tuesday night, P. J. O Brien, the ,iaternational representative who has had charge of the strike situation in this city since the trouble started last week, expressed satisfaction that a settlement has been reached. Asked as to whether the company had grant ed recognition of the union he said that the company would operate un- der the open shop rule but that the company had agreed to meet the em- ployes and their properly accredited representative whenever difference of oniuien arose between the employees and the company.
 The New Wage Scale
 The agreement signed on Tuesday carries with 1t the following wage scale:
 First year men-26c per hour.
 Second year men-27c per hour.
 Third year men--2Sc per hour.
 Fourth year men-29c per hour.
 Fifth year men--30c per hour.
 After fifth year-32c per hour.
 The meal tickets have been cut one- half, from 50 cents to 25 cents, and in- stead of time and a half for overtime the men will receive 10 cents an hour.
 The maximum which the men were receiving before the strike was 20 cents per hour. The original demand of the strikers was for 35 cents, time and a half for overtime, nine hour day and meal tickets. As counter proposi- tion the company offered maximum Of g. cents an hour. The offer was re- fused and the strike started
 The local trolleymen were jubilant when the settlement wes officially an nounced on Tuesday. Since Monday afternoon there had been rumors of A settlement but no permanent agree ment was reached until Tuesday after noon.

Saturday

The railway officials made good their promise to run cars Saturday. The Chamber of Commerce likewise made good their promise to run an auto ser. vice. The chamber carried the most passengers.
 Only one man reported for work at the Dayville car barn. This was Con- ductor Rienzi Brown who does not be- long to the union. He has been lcon- nected with the road ever since it be- gan operations. He acted as pilot dur ing the afternoon.
 1t was but shortly after 9 o'clock when the Chamber of Commerce sent out it's first auto truck. Others soon followed. It was planned to run the autos from Dayvllle to West Thomp- son and to make the schedule and fares the same as the trolley service. Secretary Hartman took personal charge of the service and he was as sisted by George NJ. Fine. Three boys acted as conductors.

 called Saturday on account of rain iu the second inning.
 Webster 5-GrosvenordaIe A. (. 4
 Two thousand baseball fans eneirel- ed the diamomnd at North Grosvenor- dale Sunday afternoon and stood on their toes for nine enteresting innings speeulating as to who would be in the lead at the end of the ninth reel of one the best base ball shows seen on the local grounds in many day. IL was anybodys game until the last man went out when a glance at the score board showed that the Bsystaters had a one run lead, the final score being Webster 5, Grosvenordals A. C. i.
 It was the first game of the season and one of the features was the orderly manner in which the large crowd con- ducted itself. Even those opposed to Sunday games admitted that there was nothing of a disturbing element in the contest last Sunday and it is what Manager Johnson proposes to give to the public as long as the games continue.
 The playing of Cooney, both at short and at bat, and the fielding of Sweeney were the features. The batteries were: Webster, Nichols and Lemieux; Gros- venordale, Carroll and Chick Me- Laughlin of Harvard.
 Next Sunday Southbridge will be the opposing team and Geo. Davis of the Boston Braves will do the box work for the local team.
 ManageL Albert c Forni and his company are booked for a nine reel thriller to be staged on the Tourtel- lotte grounds in this city next Satur- day afternoon when the Danielson aggregation leave their swsmpy home behind them for return engagement with the local outfit
 The Fofni company has been streng- thened with few additional stars and the lineup to be presented is the strongest of the season. Putnam's $ batting order will be as follows: Me Laughlin or Wood will be chosen for the box work, Neville, c; Meehan 1b; Barnicle 2b; Manning 3b; Pearce ss, Laporte of Putnam If; McSherry ef; RyIander If.
 While Putnam has not been win- ming it's games it has been foe worthy of any team and has put up some hard fights. The Jinx has figured in some of Putnam's losses and it is hoped that he will soon be left behind.
 The game Saturday will furnish plenty of excitement. Danielsou is betting that they will take Putnam's number again while the local support can see nothing to it. There is feel. ing between the two teams that spells with big k aud large is expected to come up the river from the borough to the south.

 The Putnam Chamber of Commerce through it's active secretary, C. ] liar riman, interested itself in the situa- tion. Late into Thursday evening Secretary Harriman worked getting the endorsement of various chambers of commerce and boards of trade to plan to offer their joint services. As a result of this effort Secretary Harri- man gave out the following statement Friday noon:
 The following telegram has been sent to the Shore Line Electric Raft way Company and to it's striking em- ployees:
 "Fhe organizations whose naaes ap- pear below, on behalf of the people of the territory served by the Shore Line Electric Railway, offer their services in any way possible to bring about ian adjustment of the present difficulties.

 Our communities are suffering from the suspension of service, and the com mercial and civic organizations will do anything within their power to insure a prompt and equitable settlement.
 C. J. Hartman, Secretary.
 In response to the above telegram reply WAS received by Secretary Harri- man between and o'clock, signed by President Perkins, as follows:
 "Responding for the board of direct ors of the Shore Line Electric Railway company, and the Norwich and Wes- terly Traction company, I express to you our full appreciation of the spirit in which the eight civic bodies you represent tender their services, but for tunstely we have the situation we'll in hand. We are now operating hourly service, Wilimantic to New London, Norwich and New London, city line and service will be extended to all our divisions Saturday.
 We are arranging for hourly service hA Dttfn fnta A,af, Service will be little irregular Cor a day or two but we have experienced men enough now to maintain regu- lar schedule as soon as they can learn the road"
 Mir. Hartman went to Dayvile dur. ing the afternoon and delivered a copy of the telegram he had sent out. The telegram was read at the meeting of the employees and they thanked MT. Hartman for the interest shown by the business men.
 Both on Thursday and Friday the streets had a quasi lndayiike ap- pearance. Business in the stores fell of considerably. Saturday, the big shopping day for the mill people in the surrounding towns, was less than 24 hours oil The merchants began to realize that they were in for a poor day If something was not done. Secretary Hartman got busy and before he went to bed after A long hard day he had made arrangements for an automobile service Saturday morning. While the trolley company had promised service IL was feared that 1t would not be pat- ronized by the mill operatives, either through feeling of loyalty to the strikers or to fear of trouble. The bus mess men were taking no chances and considerable sum was subscribed to meet any deficiency that might occur through the automobile service.
