 The ireauency with witch the story has been repeated by many persons, some of whom have vouched for the truth of it, as many people a like to do who engage in the dis graceful practice of spreading mali 4 cious gossip, has finally led Mr.. Davignon to take action in the inte- rest of his geod name and business.
 It was MT. Davignonfs intention Monday to search out, with legal aid, all of those who have Sbeen repeating the story in order that it's origin may be traced and the prty responsible for starting 1t punished. N
 MT. DaVignon has the names of 8 very considerable number of persons who have told the story, and it is likely that all of these, and all of the others whose names will be brought forth by the investigation to be start ed can be made to answer in civil suits for damages on account of the careless use of their tongues
 Interviews with those whose names have been obtained will bring to
 
 of many others who have repeated the story, and as the investigation goes on the person who originated the. infamous lie likely will be brought to light and properly punished in court.
 MT, Davignon, who is secretary of the Danielson Business Mems aSsoci- ation, always has borne & splendid reputation for honest dealing and the story that undoubtedly would work serious injury to his business could tot be permitted to go uneha1lenged. He decided Monday, therefore that the time had come for taking positive action toward stopping the waggins of l irresponsible tongues and was in conference during the afternoon with an attorney who will conduct the in- vestigation.
 | Mir. Davignon does not attempt to 1 fix the blame for the starting of the l story. Rlt believes that the ifvesti- gation may show who is responsible. 1 Nearly 700 employees of the Con- necticut Mills were out of work Mon day because of another shortage of yarn, due to inability to get ship i ments through on account of the ] blockade of the highways in this dis ruption of freight service clue to i storms and snowbound lines. Resump- i ton of operations will be immediate upon receipt of yarn, quantities of which are in transit by rail.
