Boston, March IA strike called for tomorrow morning by telephone oper- atonS in many New England cities outside of Boston was averted late last night by a settlement under which the New England Telephone 6, TeIe- graph Co. granted wage increases that in some cases met the full demands of the employees. The agreement was reached with the assistance of Henry B. Endicott, executive chairman of the state committee on public safety, and followed largely the recommend ations made yesterday by the state board of conciliation and arbitration.
 Exchanges in IA cities in Massachu- sets, Maine and New Hampshire will be classified with those in the Boston district, and the operators will receive the same pay, $5 a week for beginners and maximum of $16 for those in service seven years or more. Among these cities are North Adams and Springfield. Four cities, including Fitchburg, were given a classification under which the maximum pay would be $14.50 and smaller exchanges wers given proportionate wage advances.
 The advances in the higher paid classes were made effective from Feb and the others from March 8, witE an agreement that they should stand for year. It was further agreed that any new difference that might arise during the period of the war should be submitted to arbitration.

REDMOND DEATH
 SEVERE BLOW TO
 IRELAND'S CAUSE

London, March 7-The death of John Redmond at the moment when the convention that is to settle the future of Ireland is having itss most momentous sessions is regarded in political circles as being nearly a dis aster. During the weeks which the Irish convention has been busy try ing to find a solution to the Irish problem, to which he gave his life, MT. Redmond exercised a great mod erating influence and if, as dispatches from Dublin say, there agains is prospect of agreement, he must be given a great measure of credit for this state of affairs.
 In fact, since he took over the leadership of the Irish Nationalists on the retirement of Parnell, MT. Red mohd has been among those Irishmen who fought for settlement of the home rule question by parliamentary means and when the act granting self government finally became a law in | 1914 it was a great triumph for him ard received recognition throughout the world, as was shown by the thousands of congratulatory telegrams he received.
 The war prevented the act from be- ing put into force and while this was great disappointment to MT. Red mond, he, nevertheless, stood by the English government, or, as he would have preferred to say. ''the English democracy" in which he had great confidence and which he always said would see that Ireland received jus tice. His speech in the house or com mons supporting the governments de- cision to enter the war because of the invasion of Belgium by Germany greatly enhanmed his reputation in England, where he had always been popular and respected, and gained many converts for thee ause which he championed.
 MT. Redmond declined a seat in the coalition cabinet of 1915, not because he had become a less ardent support CT of the Entente's war aims, but be- cause he feared that to do so might injure Ireland and his party.
 Since then his sickness and family bereavements, which included the death of his brother William at the head of his battalion in France, took him out of the public eye, except on occasions when Irish questions requir- ed his attention.
 However, MT. Redmond went to work harder than ever when the Irish
 convention was created, and with the
 exception of the last few meetings
 he was a regular attendant at the ses-
 sions and took a leading part in the , deliberations despite the great pair
 he was suffering from the ailment
 that made necessary the operation that ended in his death.
 Other events in Ireland, such as the excesses of the Sim Feiners, did no lessen his worries. and, except fol Premier Lloyd-George. there was nc man in England who had a more diff g ficult position to hold. But the IrisH ] Nationalist leader had had the train l ing which enabled him to succeed s where others failed. He was the mos 2 experienced of parliamentary proce s dure and had sat in the house con tinuously for 37 years.

LYRIC

The third days presentation of 'Brewster's Millions'' by the Lyric cast of Poli players brought enthusi- astic response in numbers and ap- plause. Although seen in Bridgeport on another occasion, the comedy al- ways is a favorite and by reason of the scenic investiture, costumes and exceptional talent that has been ob- ta1ned to produce this play again, it is more than ordinarily successful.
 MT. Dudley Ayres. leading man of the Poi players is seen at his best. There is not a minute that he is not extremely busy in trying to get rid of his excessive wealth.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes.- really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No diff ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy. Just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amaz- I ttng-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and haye~an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness and luXuriance.
 Get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try little Danderine.-Adv.
