The naval recruiting party here for three days, stationed in the town hall, is not meeting with success, as not single recruit has been received for the navy. This is not due to the lack of patriotism on the part of the eligi- Ile young men, that is those of draft age, for hundreds of Westerly young men are now in the service, and the navy has fair proprirtion of them. Those over IS and under 21, who de- sire to enlist are held back in some instances by their parents, as nearly every family has representation in the military service, and there is natural desire to hold these young men at home until they reach the military age. There is no rabid reason, however, why men above draft age and eligible for military service do not come to the front and center, and offer to share the war burden with those sub ject to the selective service law; pro- vided they are not indispensable to a business and have no dependents. There are enough of this class in Westerly to make a creditable showing in the navy at the present time.
 Charles H. Williams, representative from Plainfield in the 1917 session of the Connecticut legislature now in Italy, under date of April 2, writes to friend in Westerly as follows:
 Hope you are well, or at least as well as l am at present. Having great time since I saw you last. We are here in Italy, and that is all we are allowed to say for fear that the other fellows may learn something of use to them. l have seen some of our United States soldiers, one from Pris- tol but none from our section but eX- pect to visit them as soon as I can get few days leave. How are things shaping up (politically) in our dis trict? I suppose by the time this reaches you, that it will be about time for nominations. And this year of all years. there should be nominated men uf large idea. I mean men with broad minds, capable of thinking outside of tkeir own home affairs for the world is progressing. or retrograding at a terrific pace. The old days of insular politics Is past and we must realize that from now on the United States is a world power, and must be alive to world politics, not just our own af- fairs, but the affairs of all nations.
 I met several members of parlia ment in England, also some leaders in tlpe Labor party, and had some very illuminating conversations with them and believe me, we are on the edge oi big doings, for cur interests as well as our pocketbooks are as mixed and intermingled that the old time politi- clan will have to broaden out his vis- ion and mind to grasp the new order of things. The worst is yet to come in my opinion, for after the war the whole of Europe will have to be re- Sodelled on a different plan to fit the

After being out on strike for a month the members of the Westerly Painters and Paper Hangers Union have returned to work and on the terms offered by the contracting painters, when demands were first made. The painters asked for an increase in pay which amounted to $4 a work day of eight hours and this was granted. The painters were under a three year years agreement as to wages and work conditions, and in addition they asked for a new bill to be in force for one year. To this the contractors would not agree and the men refused to work under the existing agreement, : the contractors insisting that the present agreement remain in force, while the increase in pay would be all } lowed as a war bonus. Therefore the present working conditions are the same as prevailed before the strike was in operation and the object of the strike failed. The matter of wages having been agreed to by the employ CTS. before the workmen took drastic action.
