''In order that maximum produc-
ton may be maintained and as a guar
antee of fair treatment to all, as well
as the conservation of the national
interest in this crisis, an agreement
has been entered into this day be-
tween the ........ Company and the
National War Labor Board to the
effect that all differences now existing
between said company and its en-
ployes have been submitted to the ar
bitration of the National War Labor
Board, with the understanding that
said company and it's employees shall
be bound by the award Of said Board
and that all parties will faithfully
abide by it's decisions.
"It may be further understood that
the award of said Board shall have d
just and fair retroactive effect, and
that the award shall be made as close
to date of August LIST, 1918, as the
circumstances of the Board may per-
nit"
This document really guarantees
that there shall be no disturbances
up until August first at least and
makes it possible for the manufactur-
ers to rest secure in the knowledge
that production will continue I'M
checked, which is what they most de-
sire. 1t assures the men that fair
and equitable treatment is to be &C
corded to them and that the ward
will have a. just and retroactive eff
feet.
Chairman F. N. Judson asked that
each side file a brief statement of
their contention and also to state
what they think the Board should
find and what labor would accept.
John J. Kepplec, vice-president of the
International Machinists then gave
to the board a schedule of wages IN
der the classifications the Machinists
feel are right. These classes are as
follows: toolmakers 7 cents an hour;
machinists, SO cents an hour grind
ers and tool settlers, 10 cents an hour;
Jones and hanson, Potter and John
son, Gisholt and Automatic Screw
Machine operators, 65 cents an hour;
machinist's helper, so cents an hour;
specialists and operators including
machine drill presses, filters, assemb
lers and inspectors, so cents an hour.
According to the promise he made
yesterday Attorney William Wallace

use in the company's plant which
number 102. This list was given to
the board as evidence.

TILLMAN'S END
REMOVES NOTED
SENATE FIGURE
CONTINUED From Page one)

CONTINUED From Page One)
Benjamin Ryan Tillman was one of
the most extraordinary members of
the United States Senate in which
body he served continuously for "a
years. During the latter part of his
service he was chairman of the Nava.
Affairs committee of the Senate and
his work in that position, after the
United States entered the great war
was considered by his colleagues to be
of great value.
AS Senator, Mr.. Tillman quickly
won wide reputation through the
country for plainness and bluntness
Of speech which, combined with his
apparent rough exterior and some
what careless manner of dress made
him unique figure in Congress. No
one attracted more attention when he
rose to speak in the Senate His Ian
guage was always dramatic and he
called things by their simplest names.
Within a month after he took his
seat in she Senate, following his first
election to that body in 1884, Senator
Tillman won his picturesque nickname

A number of guests have arrived
at the Ridgewold Inn and other book
ings indicate about the usual amount
of patronage for the season.
A feature of the Ridges chool clos
ing last Friday was a picnic on the
school grounds arranged by Miss Jen-
ME Mcdonald, the teacher. The pupils
an those of their parents in attend
ance were served with ice cream and
cake and all had a good time.
Dayton Sanford, whose repeated eff
forts to enlist have failed on account
of underweight, went to Boston this
week to tender his services for any
kind of auxiliary war work in which
there was an opening.
To the original band of New York
farmerettes engaged in crop growing
in West Redding a. new recruit was
added last week. There have been no
defections. Their garden stuff, field
onions and potatoes are in beautiful
condition of vigor and forwardness.

will have come very close to meeting
its quota.
The bill of s1414O presented by Fire
Warden McGlynn Of Ridgeheld for
services rendered by himself and a.
force Of IS men and three Boy Scouts
in helping to overcome a brush and
woods fire in West Redding a few
weeks ago has been practically O..
KID by W. o. F1lley, the State fire
warden to whom the Gain was re-
ferred for advice. In a letter to First
Selectman Sanford the State warden
finds that Mr.. McGlynn acted prop
erly in responding to the alarm which
came to him from Branchville. He
did so in the belief that Ridgefeld
property was in danger and remained
on the job until the fire was under
conrol because meanwhile he had not
come in contact with any Redding
warden although as a matter of fact
Chief Warden Warner of this town
was also fighting the flames in an
other part of the burning territory.
In analysing the bill Mr.. Filley ap-
proves the charge of $40 for auto truck
hire and that of $40 for bIooms al
though he deprecates the use of
brooms as fire extinguishers on ac-
count of costliness. The Redding Sc
lectmen will pay the bill and obtain
reimbursement from the State for
one-half the amount.
The Diamond Hill school house has
been sold by the town to Harry A.
Lounsbury for 800, the transaction
being effected by the selectmen on
Monday with the previous approval
of the school committee. The build
ing has not been used for the past
eight or ten years and is much out Of
rerair It is the last of the school
buildings retained by the town since
consolidation went into effect, the
others having been disposed of soon
after they fell into disuse with the
caange of system. These were the
school houses in Pleasant Valley, the
Center, hometown and Sanfordtown.
The call which Edward M. Bradley

The water company has made a
| real estate trade with R. A. Lyon by
which the latter exchanges a pasture
run of about nine acres for approx
mately the same area of adjacent land
comprised in the farm formerly own
ed by the late John Carroll. 1t is the
company's intention to ultimately
own all the land bordering on the
brook which intersects the pasture
run.
| Rev W. S. Woolworth, Jr., has
made an engagement for the sum-
mer with the Dan Beard outdoor
training school in Pennsylvania to
act as instructor and chaplain.
Among the bills approved by the
selectnen at their meeting on Mon
day was one of s1,25O in favor of
Road Contractor B. B. Banks. The
roads had previously been inspected
and favorably reported upon by the
