Dockton Victims of Influenza

Mrs. A. Bussanich died last
Thursday morning at her home in
Dockton after an attack of influ-
cnza. She had been ailing for two

Cured on last Saturday morning,
two days after his wife passed
away. He was taken sick about
the same time as Mrs. Bussanich

held Sunday afternoon at the Is

TRAITOR ISSUES WARNING TO
DEALERS AND PERSONS SUS.
PECTED OF VIOLATIONS.

Violations of the food law relating
to the selling of flour having been re
ported to County Food Administrator
Franc Mangum, he last night issued
the following statement:
Investigation is being made both
by myself and U. S. secret service men
of the reported violations of the -four
sales rule, and if it is found that
dealers have been deliberately violat'
ing the law they will be promptly and
properly prosecuted and punished.
For that matter. any person who
buys more than thirty days supply
of -four is also guilty, and he or she,
too, will be prosecuted.
ct is not fair to the many grocers
who are living squarely up to the
rules for others to break the law.
'"The law is plain: No flour may
be sold unless an equal amount of
cereal products it also sold. In the
case of farmers who have on hand
cereals raised by themselves, an ex-
ception is made; but before even they
can purchase -four they must secure
a permit from the food administrator
or one of his deputies"

HURLEY WARNS SHIP
STRIKERS THAT THEY
MUST co To WORK
STRIKE Is DELAYING BUILDING
OF SHIPS AND CARPENTERS ARE
TOLD THEY MUST RETURN TO
WORK AND TURST GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10
Chairman Hurley, of the shipping
board has sent w L. Hutcheson, gem
eral president of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, another ir'
sistent demand that he send striking
carpenters back to work in eastern
shipyards. This action was taken af-
ter Hutcheson on yesterday notified
the board he was unable to induce the
men to go back unless he was first
assured of a definite arrangement as to
working conditions.
Chairman Hurley's message de-
nounces Hutcheson's refusal to enter
into an agreement signed by other
union general heads putting disputes
in the hands of the shipbuilding labor
adjustment board for settlement, and
calls attention to the fact that in spite
of his attitude local union officials are
coming the board with their griev-
ances.
''Your efforts" said Mr.. Hurley.
"have been confined to demanding spe-
cial, privileges for your organization
to discriminate in its favor as against
the other class"
Mr.. Hurley said he did not question
the patriotism of the carpenters and
added
will you ask the men now paralyz'
ing the shipyards and the nations war
program to go back to their work and
trust to their government to deal fairly
with them?"
President Hutcheson, Of the Car
penters and Joiners, who is now in
New York, has replied to Chairman
Hurley's communication and says I'M
less the chairman of the shipping
board has some definite proposition"
to present Immediately to the striking
shipyard workers, it will be impossi-
BILE for him to influence them to re-
turn to work.
Many striking ship carpenters at
Staten Island plants have been noti-
fed by their local draft board to APP
pear for physical examination, their
exemptions for industrial work having
been automatically rescinded when
they quit such work Draft boards in
Newark, n j., and other nearby points
where carpenters are registered, are
expected to take similar action today
or Monday
The strike at two Staten Island
yards continued today with prospects
that the 45O strikers would be joined
by several hundred other carpenters
unless the government intervenes. The
sstrikers are demanding a wage in
crease from $3.50 to $3.50 day, the
same scale, they say, as is being paid
on the Pacific coast.

BOARD AGREES
To GIVE THEM
HIGHER WAGES
FULLY FIFTY PER CENT. OF THE
MEN EMPLOYED in THE VAR
IOUS SHIPYARDS ARE OUT ON A
STRIKE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Approxlmate
ly fifty per cent. Of the shipyards
workers in the New York district are
on strike today, according to claims
by brotherhood officials, who said the
strike would have spread to other cit
les along the coast. except for the fact
their wage demands were granted. The
number of men out was said at noon
to be seven or eight thousand.
The government has rejected the
proposition of the Carpenters union
that shipworkers be allowed repre-
sentative place on the labor adjust
ment board of the Emergency Fleet
corporation to settle the present wage
controversy, it was announced.
At Washington Chairman Hurley, of
the Shipping board; General Manager
Piez, of the Emergency Fleet corpor-
alton, and Chairman Macy, of the La
Dor Adjustment board, conferred with
acting Secretary of the Navy Roose'
Welt on the shipyard strike situation.
and shortly afterward it was an
nounced the shipping boards wage
adjustment board had agreed on in
creased wages and definite working
conditions, with overtime pay for all
shipyard workers in the socalled Del
aware yards, comprising sixty per
cent. of the shipworkers along the
Atlantic coast. The decision of the
board does not include striking car
penters, but it is expected to effect
settlement of their strike. The new
scale will be the model for settlements
in other districts along the South At
lantic and Gulf coast.
