together with their wives. left Win ooaki
Yesterday afternoon for Andover. Mass.
where they will be entertained to-day at
the home Of William NJ Wood, president
of tho company. Therc were sixty-one
members in the party. All expenses of
tho trip we're borne by Mr., Wood. They
left Winooski at 4:15 O'Clock and were met
at White River Junction by Pullman

| This afternoon they will be entertained
at the Wood home, and n chance win be
given them to meet other agents Of the
company from many different parts OF
the country. Mr.. Wood will speak to them
at that time, concerning the policy of the
company. II is thought that he may throw
some light on the present situation Of the
company. although nothing definite Is
known.
Mr. Wood has held many Of these infor.
NAL get-together meetings of his employe,
this summer. In some cases he has had
only officials and superintendents, but
at other times he has had all Of the mil

At this particular meeting, there viii
he present ntendents, agents ant
overseers from 81 mills located In eigh
ldifferent States. Most Of these mills ar
In New England, but some are located a.
far west as Kentucky.
Mr.. Wood believes in introducing tn
personal element into his business as IA
AS possible. Owing to the large area GOV
cred by the corporation, this is the onl,
way he has Of meeting the men personal
y. Other means that he has taken to hell
the men and keep them In closer toucl
with the business is by the forYnat ton Of
building association whereby the men ma,
borrow money TO build homes at an inter
est rate Of only four per cent. He has al
so introduced sick benefits, and old AZ
Insurance. for the benefit of his employees
Officials Of the company in Winoosk
say that the large number Of men now un
employed has not changed the labor stu

rumors that men could he hired as loy

One agent OF the company said tina,
while many Of the men would accept ton,
porary employment while the mills wer
closed, they would all return. MS tn
American Wooden Mil pays the hishes
