SHOE CUTTERS STRIKE
 GIVES WAY TO MASTERS
Two Lynn Shoe Unions Apparently
 Not in Harmony.

Brockton. Mass. A<g. .5.-One thous- and lasters in Brockton shoe factories voted tonight to join the striking cut
 ters tomorrow morning. The lasters
 who seeded. from the Boot and Shoe Workers, Union three weeks ago at the time the cutters went on strike have formed an independent organization.
 At the time they left the unioG the lasters said that if any of their mem
 bers were discharged from any of the fac: oriess for non payment of union
 dues, as provided for in an agree
 rnent by the Boot and Shoe Workers
 Union and many of the shops here, they would stop work. It was said to- night that some Of their number had been discharged for this reason.
 The strike of the laSters came at the moment when the cutters strike which has tied up government con tracts for three weeks seemed about to be settled Nearly one quarter of 1 the 2.500 cutters returned to their benches today under an agreement to have their. demands for higher wageS 1 and certain changes in working con | ditions adjusted by arbitration.

 the Norwich boys. One of the worst | things we have heard from home was | the sudden death of Roy Swan. It has 1 made all of the boys that knew Roy 1 feel rather blue. He was certainly a fine fellow and us fellows that went to | school, played football and chumn1ed with him will miss him 6 great deal when we get back. The whole thing is something that we can hardly real ize The Fourth was quite day in this city. There was a large parade in the morning and games in the afternoon. Boxing matches were staged at night. Little did the boys think a year ago when they saw the large parade in New London that they would be pa- rading all dressed up in their tin deroies' in a city in France. The parents of Sam Grove, Buster Cary, Everett Pierce. and a few more would nevertrecognize them in their new mill linery. Their masks are a little diff ferent then you buy in Mrs Fay's.
 The work at the school is going along in great style. The men that are now at school are coming along fine and they will know a lot about auto mobiles when they get through Dick Gregson is with the ordance depart ment of the No doubt he will be leaving with his regiment when they go and I will miss him a great deal. It. is a greN thing to have some one from home nearby. Tom Collins and myself have been transferred to the -- Artillery and deta ched here for duty. How long we will stay is a mystery. We are the only. two mem bers of the old Fifth Company to be together at the school At present Tom is driving one of the cars I have ! charge of. We, are using sedans and -iimeusines for instruction purposes so you see the men are riding in all kinds of cars. from trucks to the ah..Ve mentioned.
 The batteries are still in billets about the surrounding country. so see the boys occasionally. I see Bob Fletcher most every day, in fact I ex- l pect him this afternoon to attend a meeting that is being held here All l of the boys are feeling fine and look 1 ing like they are ready for anything I haven't seen Jim Isbister for some l time and I can't seem to find out l where he is located at present Earl Herrioll is back with his battery aft i CT being away for short time. 1 The fields are beginning to show 1 the results of the labor that has been spent on them III months past. The vineyards as well as the wheat fields look good as we stand on a hill and look off into the distance. It may seem strange to you but from the top of one i of the high hills we can, count as many 1 as twenty five towns. The towns look i as if they had been stuck on the side of the mountains and would slide down if they were pushed
 How are the boys in the office? Re 1 member me to all and tell them to 1 write.
