NOT UNIVERSAL ONE
CONTINUED from First Page)

ufacturing Nidlands, It's people feel
that their city was signa1ly honored
in being chosen among other Ing
lish cities for the presidents WISH"
The lord mayor is a self made man.
His home, where Mr.. and Mrs. WI
son we're guests is i'll a section OF the
city hall, where the mayors live dur
inc their terms OF office. 1t is a typl"
cal English home. The rest OF the
presidential party was CHARTERED at Il
nearby hotel
President Shows WEAKNESS
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson sat down 10 an
early family dinner last evening anu
soon afterward retired to their apart
ment on the fourth floor. The presl-
dents days in England have invoked
great physical strain which was ap-
parent to those near him last even
ing.
The most important feature OF to-
dav was the presentation of the free
dom of the city to Mr.. Wilson with an
address by the president. 1t was at
first planned to hold the ceremony IN
the municipal chamber, which IS the
customary theater for civic events
but in response to public opinion the
old Free Trade hall, which accon1mo-
dates nearly 1000 persons, was Sc"
lected.
Many Want to Hear Address.
Everyone wanted to hear the presl-
dent of the United States aod the
pressure for invitations from officials
of nearby cities, as we'll as from the
people of Manchester, was 1nslsteht'
If Free Trade hall had been three
times as large it could not have shell
tered all who were anxious to secure
admission.
The most notable engineering
works in Manchester are the ship ca
nal and docks The first activity OF
the day was an inspection Of these.
The party proceeded from the city
hall in eight automobiles. Mr.. Wilson
was received by Captain Bacon, CHAIR
man OF the directors Of the sip
canal. and spent an hour on board a
small steamer which cruised among
the docks. After his return to the
CITY hall Ross e. Holiday, American
consul. presented Americans residing
in the city.
Entertained at Luncheon.
From there it was 81 short drive TO
the Free Trade hall. After the cere~
monies there the official party drove
by a circuitous route to the Mfdlano

hotel where at 1 o'clock the presi-
dent was entertained at luncheon by
the city officials and many Of the rep
reseutative citizens.
Before Mr.. Wilson's arrival at the
hotel there was a scene at the Royal
Exchange which will be treasured in
the history Of that institution. The
president appeared in the distingush~
ed strangers gallery while the floor
was filed with members, and made
them & very brief informal speech.
His Police Escort.
The only escort for the presidents
drives about the city was a squad Of
mounted police.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson and their
party took the train for London sholt-
ly before O'clock, closing a day
which will be regarded as one of tho
most important in the history OF this
city.
Refers 30 Unity of Command.
In his address at the luncheon at the
Midland hotel, President Wilson re-
ferred to unity OF command on the
battlefield in the recent hostilities. He
said:
II not only had the pleasure of meet
ing Marshal F'och, who confirmed my
admiration by the direct and simple
manner In which he dealt with every
subject we talked about, but I had
the pleasure Of meeting your own
commander and I understand how
they cooperated, because / saw they
were real men,
1t would be unnecessary in the years
to come, he said, to submit to unity
OF command but the powers must
plan a unity Of purpose in which they
would find a great recompense and q
strengthing of spirit.
President Wilson left Manchester at
2:45 o'clock this afternoon for London
Hours before the time set for the
presidents departure for the city hall
crowds began to assem- BILE IN the
square in front of the building all
though the day was foggy in the
early hours. The president was the
first from the building. AS soon as the
crowd saw him 1t started cheering.
The president with the lord mayor
entered an open landau. The remain
der of the party were in similar We
hicIes.
The president looked refreshed
after his nights rest. Mrs. Wilson was
radiant with her thanks when several
persons threw big bouquets of flowers
into her carriage, in which she was
riding with the lady mayoress.

STRIKE DISCUSSION
BY union MACHINISTS
No Sympathetic WaIkout i'm
New Britain, District
Agent Says.

For the purpose of discussing the
labor dispute at the factory of the
Rockwell-Drake company in Plain
vile, a meeting Of the local MACH T.
lists union, which includes New Brit
ain, Plainville and Bristol will be
held tomorrow night at "a Church
street, this city. John F. Quinn, dis
trict agent Of the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists. under whose
I directions a strike in the RockweH ell
Drake plant is in operation, stated to-
day that he did not believe a syn1pa
thetic strike would be declared by
union n1achinists in this city.
It is the claim of Mr.. Quinn that
the Rockwell company is at
tempting to break the union and has
discharged $50 men and women men,
bers, replacing them with non-unton
employees. About % union workers
met last Friday and declared q strike
The factory has been closed until
ficia1s being that inventory will be
/ taken, Pickets have been placed
around the shop by the strikers
Mr.. Quinn says he has learned that
the RockwelI-Drak concern has
enough domestic orders to keep 1T
running for three years and he says
the autom otto machines that turn out
ball bearings have been operated day
and night. The company is reported
to have a large contract for the Ford
Auto1nobi1 company.
The principal grievance of the
strikers Is that the RoclSwell-Drak
company is Violating an agreement
drawn up by Major B. II. GitcheH. e.
s. A. on November !, as articles OF
understanding between the company
and its employees. This agreement
was to run for six months after the
war 1t is also alleged that the COM
pany has violated the spirit OF a
proclamation by President Wilson on
April s. 1918, in which employers
were cautioned against interfering
With labor unions.
One of the women discharged from
the Rockwell Drake company hasmtwo
sons with the American army in
France. She sought employment on
the advice OF a physician who wished
to relieve her mind OF the strain caus-
ed by constant worry over her boys
After working in the plant for short
time she became a member of the
machinists' union.

al FLU CASES In WEEK
But Health Department Officials DO
Not Fear Recurrence of Epidemic
in This City.

During the past week, from
December Fl to %, there were Al
cases of influenza reported to the
board of health and in the same
period of time there were two cases of
pneumonia reported. The larger
number Of cases were reported
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
This morning II cases of influenza
and two cases Of pneum onia were re-
ported.
Despite the fact that there are
several cases Of influenza in the city at
the present time it is not thought that
there is any great danger existing and
the reports of a recurrence Of the
terrible epidemic are secuted. While
the malady Is still in the city the
public should take the usual pTecau-
tions to prevent its spread. The same
precautions given out at the time
OF the epidemic should prove effcc-
tive now.

BOOST TELEPHONE
RATES AFTER JAN. |
CONTINUED from First Pagel

fer the telephone service itself. but the
present charge for installing or NOV
ing telephone is only $3.50, re-
gardless of the rate paid for the serv-
ice. This reduction is in keeping with
the order of the postmaster-genera
modifying the restrictions on service
extensions Imposed because Of the war
and will prove to be a helpful factor
in the future development OF the bus
mess.
Toll Rates Different.
1.-THE effect in Connecticut of the
recently announced order covering the
Standardization of toll rates as of
January Fl cannot be fully stated at
this time, as the new rates have not
yet been computed. On the one
hand, the new rates, which are based
upon system of fixed mileage
charges, will occasion substantial in
creases between long-h points. as
the present toll rate schedule in Con-
necticut IS unique in providing a max
iraunl rate OF IS cents between any
two points within the state, but as the
traffic is naturally light between long
haul points, these increases will m can
less to the public and to the business
than would appear at first thought.
On the other hand, there are many
points in Connecticut approximately
20 miles apa TT where the present rate
is also 25 cents and where reductions
will take place under the new schcd-
tlIe Between these points, the traffic
is relativelye high and the rate changes
VIII carry more meaning than those
between 1ong-haul points. Between
the very short points. both in
creases and decreases will be occa-
stoned, the new schedule providing a
rate OF five cents in cases where the
air line distance does not exceed six
miles. Full announcement OF the new
rates as applied between Connecticut
exchanges will be made prior to
January 21."
