Lewis Says Coal Miners
VIII Be at York So On

The strike of more than 1000 miners
in the bituminous coal fields of Kansas,
Illinois and other states, in the face
of the new agreement signed between
the representatives of the miners and
operators, and arising out of the dis
satisfaction of the miners with the new
agreement, which grants an increase of
p per cent in wages to them, will be
satisfactorily adjusted within few
days, according to John L. Lewis, inter
national president of the United Mine
Workers. Mr.. Lewis said yesterday that
action will be taken to get the men
back to work on the terms of the new
agreement.
Mr.. Lewis does not believe the situa-
ton is serious. Other union officials,
however, declared that the trouble was
due to what they called the inadequate
award of the Presidents bituminous
coal commission to the day men en-
ployed in the soft coal fields. The
day men, it was pointed out, received
only 81 day increase, or 35 cents less
than the q per cent increase awarded
to the other miners.
Miners and operators realize that a
mistake has been made" said one union
official, "but they are powerless to cor
rect the situation in the face of the
commissions award"
Philip Murray, international vice
president of the United Mine Workers,
declared, however, that the matter may
be adjusted in the drawing up of dis
trct agreements by the respective dis
trict scale committees of miners and
operators.
The subcommittee Of operators and
miners, which has been in session for a
considerable period at the Union
League, in an effort to reach new
agreement, announced yesterday that it
will begin holding sessions daily until
its object is accomplished.

ROTAR|ANS HEAR RED CROSS APPEAL

each member pledges himself to help his felloWmen Once a man has been a Ro- taran he is always Rotarian although circumstances may not permit him to be a member of any one club.
 Property .Revaluation.
 Lewis R. Church, for many years an assessor for Norwich, spoke on the re- valuation of property The thing we want, said Mir Church. is a revaluation of property not an ac.Istment of values. There is a difference. If we get re- valuation the adjustment will take care of itself. We hear from time to time that We need to add 25 to 50 per cent to the grand list. This would not be fair to all for some are now paying more on their property than it is worth and oth- CTS are paying good deal less. The same kind of construction in one section of the city is worth more than it is in another It is better to have a high list and low rate than a high rate and low list A low rate will get you manufac- tories here where high rate drives them away We have the best located city in New England and a revaluation of property will put Norwich on the map.
 War Heroes Speak.
 Following MT. Churchs talk the meet ing was turned over to Richard L. Tar rant who said that he had asked several men who had earned the thanks of the allies and who had been decorated 10 tell how they received their medals. Al seemed very reticent about speaking Of their deeds and no one would know they were heroes unless one had seen the medals
 Major John& s. Blackmar, who was | awarded the Croix de Guerre, was the l first speaker and told of his experiences with the hospital units both with the French and American armies F. Russell Smith, who also received the CroX de Guerre for bravery while l driving an ambulance in France, spoke and told of his experiences in France during a large part of the war. MT i Smith was with the French army and later with the American army and saw a i large amount of action.
 E. Howard Baker, twice decorated with the highest military honors tha ! Italy could give told of his experience: on the Italian front as an ambulance driver MT Baker told a very interest ing story of conditions as he found then in Italy and the terrible hardshps whicl 1 he and his corps went through. He saiC 1 he was quartered very near Scotcf ] Highlander regiment and told in an en l tertaining way of his associations witt l 1 get his decorations he refrained iron telling.
 l Joseph Marinan of Hartford was tn next speaker MT Marinan was a ser geant in a National Guard outfit iron New Haven and was decorated with tn Croix de Guerre and awarded the Dis | tinguished Service Cross by the Unite, States. MT. Marnan like the other he roes did not say just what he did to ge his medals but todl of the life of a ma chine gunner during the Argonne drive The speaker strongly advocated prepar edness, for he said, We didn't lick tn Germans; they quit.
 Following MT. Marinan's talk tn speakers were given rising vote 0 thanks.
 The Rotary club voted to contribut
 $25 to the American Legion toward tn

The question which the officers of the County Farm Bureau is asking at present is lis there enough interest among the poultry men of New London county to warrant arrangements being made for poultry one day institute, to be held at some central point during January or February?' Such an institute was held in New Haven this last year with morn ing, afternoon and evening sessions. Speakers, from outside of the county. ex- perienced in poultry raising as well as local speakers, would serve to make it a day of interest to any one interested in poultry. The various men in this county who would be interested in such a meet inf are asked by the bureau to get in touch with the Farm Bureau office at once, so that it may know whether in- terest will warrant such gathering.
