Employees of the Connecticut mills and they number hundreds-are very much interested in a profit sharing plan, as 1t may be called that the company has offered them.
 This opportunity consists of a chance to buy shares of a new issue of stock of the company, to be used in increasing the equipment as well as making extensions to the present big plant, but beyond that is the fine economic prospect of bringing the en- ployes into closer relation with the employers-the company-and thereby getting the superior organization that always has been shown to follow the admission of employees as partners in manufacturing business, for such the new stockholders will be.
 When interviewed relative to the matter on Wednesday Agent Obadiah Butler and Superintendent Amos Mo- rin stated that the new issue of stock will be preferred and voting, this stock to carry an 5 per cent. cumula- tive dividend rate az the option of the company and be redeemable at $115 3 share on any quarterly dividend date, f notice of at least 90 days is given.
 ft is also to be understood and agreed that if and when the sub scriber pays for his shares of prefer red stock he shall at the same time nave the privilege of purchasing com mon stock of the Connecticut mills for cash at par. s100 share, up to a to- tal of 10 per cent. of the face value of the preferred stock that he takes.
 Those who hold the common stock know that it is worth at least 100 per cent. above par, and there isn't any for sale at any price within reason.

Many Of the employees have been with the concern since it began doing bus mess in a very small way here about a decade ago and have witnessed the wonderful expansion and development 't has undergone and the remarkable 7 success achieved.

IS a further means Of closely uniting the company with the people of the place where it 6oes business and thereby getting a still closer association with the people whose good will is not a mean asset upon which to count

Attorneys who have had cases befoh am nave not hesitated to ray him the T~lnute Of possessing q very evenll sHaianced judicial temperament. whicr ls another way Of saving the sam, thing
 Using the homely philosophy tha carries with it the exac- implication desired Judge Tucker said Wednes. fay in discussing his approaching re. tlTement. When I first took the of fee ! said that I should try and plov 1 straight turrow, and that I aiwayt save tried to do"
