 INCREASES ITS STOCK
Will Not Give Fractional Shares of New Half
 Million Issue.

Prosperity and growth of North & Judd Manufacturing company are re- fected in the action today of tho stockholders in approving an increase of it's capital stock from $1,500,OO0 to S2,000,000, as recommended by tho board of directors, likewise increasing the number of shares from 0,O0O to 80,000 shares.

 It is the purpose of the directors to apply the new capital of $500, 000> to financing the purchase and expansion of the w. & E. T. Fitch Co. of New Haven, the necessary prelminaries having been settled. The Fitch com pany manufactures a line of hardware kindred in certain respects to that made by the local concern, and has tideWater connections and other ad- Vantages in way of freight service that will accrue largely to the benefit of the North x Judd Go.
 Incorporated in 1863 with a capital stock of $60,000, North & Judd Man ufacturing Go. has enjoyed steady prosperity, altogether devoid of tho sensational, but on the contrary mark = ed by conservative expansion based on an increase in business and correct an- ticipation of the growing demand for Anchor Brand Hardware products.
 It has kept pace with the healthy and rapid growth of New Britain s progressive industries, and today it's products are favorably known throughout the civilized world. The recent requirement of the Fitch com pany property is additional proof that the managem ent is awake to every op- portunity for advancing the best inter- est of the corporation.
 Many of the North & Judd Manu- featuring cOmpany's employees are now StOckh Olders With the number con- stantly increasing, which is evidence of the company's desire to have it's oper- atlVes share in it's prosperity.

 HEAD OF CONVENTION

Washington. Oct. 7.-Disa greement over rules proposed for the governing of the industrial conference called by President Wilson resulted in the con- ference adjourning suddenly after Secretary of Interior Lane had been elected permanent chairman. It will meet again at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon.
 Rules as Suggested.
 As proposed by committee the rules provided that all conclusions and de- cisions must be arrived at by unani- nous vote of the three groups repre- senting capital, labor and the public while the decision of each individual group would be by a majority of the members of that group. The rule was 1 attacked by John Spargo, of New York, delegate representing the public.
 John SpargO Objects.
 MT. Spargo declared the conference might as we'll adjourn if the provision of the rules was adopted whereby a majority vote of any group or any member of a group could introduce any subject for discussion. Such rule he stated, hindered activities of the
 
 posed of delegates representing a homogeneous interest like the labor group, but contained men and women of diverse activities.
 He objected particularly because, he said, there was no provision for min ority expression.
 Thomas l.. Chadbourne, of New York, replying for the committee, de- -;,;~ +o obtain effective action instead of debate.
 Conference AdjournS. On motion of Frederick P. Fish, Of the employers group, the conference adjourned to allow each group to con- sider the rules separately, the employ CTS voting solidly on the motion, and the public and organized labor groups dividing. Several delegates expressed opposition to an adjournment at a time when, they declared, the confer- ence should be getting down to busi- ness.
 Secretary Lane Is Chairman. Secretary Lane has been chosen as permanent chairman of the indus- trial conference and will accept.
 The report of the committee on rules provides for all sessions being l open to press and public. Under the rules, voting will be by 1 groups representing employers, orga- ] nized labor and the public, the ma l iority of delegates in each group to l decide that groups attitudes, but no decision conclusion shall be arrived at unless all three groups are in ac- | cord.
 | Secretary Lane told the conference the news from the White House was that the president might be able 10 l address the delegates before they adjourn.
