Wage Advance in City and Vicinity Today at Start of Prosperous Sum mer.


 Many hundreds of mill operatives in textile plants in this city and vicinity will go to work this morning under a new wage scale that means more money for each and every one of them. Notices were posted to this effect at the week end in some of the mills, while in others there may be no defi- will find extra money in their pay en- velopes. The advance Is in line with similar establishments of wages throughout New England.
 Fifteen hundred operatives of the big plants of the Grosvenordale company in the Grosvenordales begin earning more money today, The notices posted here do not state the amount of the ad- vance. The Morse-Nig gh tingale cor poration, operating mills in this city and employing 500 hands, grant 10 per cent. advance, effective today. The Putnam Manufacturing company had made no announcement of an advance up to Saturday, but it was said that this plant will probably also readjusi the wage scale.
 The Putnam Woolen and Waterman Worsted companies have just advaneee their scale of wages and there have been splendid advances made to the help at the plant of the French River Textile company at Mechanicsville The Manhasset company has made nc recent announcement as to another ad- vance.
 With the extra money given them g few weeks ago and the new advance from 5000 to $500 mill workers in this vicinity are happy in the prospect oi the most prosperous summer in theil memory. Wages were never so higf as at present, nor working conditions better in the manufacturing concerns in the Quinebaug valley. Within 2 l comparatively short period most of the plants have been overhauled, new ma. chinery installed in many of them Sanitary conditions are better in al the mills. oil lamps that were din and dreary have been replaced by brilliant electric lights, scientifically ] arranged, and the working hours arr | now much shorter and in many ways more attractive than in many other

TULSA, IN A VERY CLOSE VOTE
YESTERDAY.

L. A. Linder who was sent to Okla

ing of the Oklahoma Letter Carriers
Association, carried out the instruc-
lions given him upon his departure
and brought the convention home with
him. The letter carriers of the state
will meet in Ardmore on the goth day
of next May. This meeting is always
held on national Decoration Day. Tul-
sa was a close competitor, and Ard
more won by the small margin Of 5S
to AZ. This is about Ardmore's first
victory over the giant oil town of the
northern portion of the state and it
marks the beginning of Ardmore as
a convention city. Mr.. Linder is to be
congratulated upon his victory. Okla
homa City entertained the boys with
a trolley ride, with a visit to all the
interesting points of the city and with
a banquet last night at the Christian

THE CAMP PA|CN
WILL. OPEN SAT
URDAY NIGHT
NEWPORT, THE SCENE OF THE
OPENING, WILL BE THRONGEO
WITH CANDIDATES FOR EVERY
COUNTY OFFICE.

Next Saturday night the campaign
for county and state offices will open
in real earnest when all announced
candidates will assemble at Newport
and when Uncle" Jim Avery raises
the barrier, will bd off for the ballots
that will either register their success
or failure at the polls.
As it stands at present, there are
s. candidates for county and state
Offices, and if they all attend this
meeting it will necessitate that their
speeches be very short and to the
point, in order to give all a chance
to make their formal announcement.
All the candidates have not been
waiting for the openin bell before
letting their friends know that they
wanted votes. In fact, most of them
have been circulating among the
boys and making it very plain that
they want all the support they could
get in the strenuous campaign that
is confronting them, as this prom
ises to be one of the warmest cam
paigns since statehood. 1t has been
rumored that another candidate
would be in the field for the state
legislature at the last moment Of fill
ing. and if such is the case it will
have three candidates to fight it out
for two positions which will make
that race rather complicated.
After the meeting Saturday night
the candidates will begin to make a
thorough canvass of the county ana
MANY meetings will be held at every
school house and cross roads store
before the ballots are cast.

WOODEN AWNING COllAPSES
DURING PREPAREDNESS PAR
ADE IN DALLAS TUESDAY, AND
FALLS TO SIDEWALK.

Dallas, Texas, May 31.-The death
list in the awning collapse late yes
terday during the preparedness parade
remained at four this morning al
though it is expected Ray Ferguson
whose back is broken, cannot live.
The dead:
ALBERT CANNON, aged about 40.
MRS. F. e. ALLEN, aged 70.
A. E. LOTT, aged 60.
MILDRED BUTLER, aged r.
A score of others were injured, some
probably fatally. The crowd watch
ing the parade, had surged forward
at the approach of a band. Persons
standing on the awning crowded near
the edge and under the increased
weight the structure tore itself loose
from the supporting chains and crash
ed to the ground At least ton of
bricks and mortar followed from the
wall behind. On account of the crowd
it was impossible for several minutes
to render aid to those injured. One
of the dead died in a drug store nearby
while another died in an ambulance.
The parade was considered one of
the greatest popular demonstrations
in the southwest. More than $4,000
people, all marching, were in line,
beaing American flags, and banners
with inscriptions favoring a larger ar
my and navy. 1t required two hours
and ten minutes to pass a given point.
Only those in the immediate neigh
borhood knew of the accident and on
account of the size of the crowd but
few of the paraders were aware of
the disaster.
