LITTLE CHANGE IN sTTUATIoN

Waterbury, Conn.,, April 26-There was no marked change in the strike situation here today. Demands were submitted to the local manufacturers by the New England Workers Asso- citation. The demands were mailed to the officials of each factory where the strike of unskilled laboFers is in progress and strike leaders refused to make them public. They are said to be more moderate than those sub mAted by the local unskilled laborers' union affiliated with the Federation of Labor. One of the principal de- nlands is for the recognition of the shop committees. The two factories of the A. H. Wells & Co. had to close today on account of the lack of help,

Mr.. Mitchell White,

Dear Mr.. White:-
We have had some trouble getting
our papers, but feel the fault is all
our own, for I have neglected to send
our address.
We are in our home at 2937 Milton
Ave-, st. Louis; a very pretty street
and highly restricted residence part
of the city. We r just off Haw-
thorne and Longfellow, two beautiful
streets. If names would help one l
should be a great writer some day;
surrounded by such great names and
writers as Hawthorne and Longfellow
and Milton. In summer it is a lovely
drive through here. You and Mrs.
White come down and l will drive ycu
through. / have gotten by so far with
out being taken to Jail; but no telling
when l will have to go up, for cutting
corners or speeding. Yet | am very
careful of both and don't think / speed
or ever did. Yet so many are stopped
for one thing or other; Ninety-six one
day. l feel l will be lucky if l pass
all. So If I have to send to Mexico
for some good friend to vouch for my
c%arefulness, be ready; for they tell ne
here they get all the Countries, and
] sure am one of them and don't care
if | am.
was walking down the streets one
day in the heart of the city, and l

falling, when one sees so much?
One day soon after, / was up high,

tumble. l do not know whether he
was seeing thing or not. Any way I
laughed. He was a CITY man.
l hope some day to like here as we'll
