ENGINEERS
AFRAID TO SLEEP
WENT ARMED
When the Marines We're
Sent On Board From
Battleship Connecticut in
Response to Wireless Call
For Aid, the Trouble
Subsided.

New York, Aug. 23.-The steamer
Allianca arrived to-day from Cristo
bal with three mutinous firemen IL
irons and % marines, transferred tC
the steamship at sea from the battle
ship Connecticut, on guard because OF
rebellious spirit exhibited by other
fremen.
Fearing for the safety of IA passen
gers, many of whom were women and
children, Captain James Stone got in
touch with the battleship by wireless
last Friday and summoned aid.
The Alliance left Cristobal on Aug
l3. Captain Stone said that as the re
suit of continual quarrels he sum
moned three fremen before him and
ordered them put in irons on a charge
of mutiny. As they were being taken
to confinement they yelled "All hands
quit work" There was no actual re-
sponse to their suggestion, but the
rest of the firemen muttered constant
ly and made such threats that the en-
gineers went armed and were afraid
to sleep. The cook could not rest in
his quarters because of the noise made
by the unruly tiremen and had to sraep
on deck When the marines arrived
on board, the trouble subsided.
While the officers of the steamship
were reticent as to the causes of the
quarrel among the crew, members of
the crew and passengers said the trou
BILE had been caused by combination
of turpentine and Haitian rum.
On the outward voyage some one
painted fireman with turpentine as
he lay sleeping When he awoke ne
seized an axe and went on the war
path. He was placed in irons. The
Judge who heard his case at Cristobal
discharged him, saying that his provo
cation had been great.
: At Port De Pax, the last port of call
on the return trip, the fremen returned
to the ship with much Haitian rum and
the aggrieved fireman again went look
ing for the man who applied the tur-
pentine. He was again placed in irons,
after which his friends took up the
vendetta. Red hot slice bars and axes
were the favorite weapons in general
fight that lasted about FIVE hours be-
low decks before the Connecticut came
in sight, il was stated.

America"
A thorough and scientific investiga

the results of this inquiry will form
the basis of the new policy.
The council had before it to-day a
report of a committee which conducted
an investigation TO dete<%,Ine the pos

purpose of electing two of their num-
ber to attend labor committee meet
ing of the International Monumental

place next month, depending on what
mutual decision the different delegates
and the association can come to. A
conference has already been called.
The result of last nights meeting
was the election of Joseph Ricciarelli
of 30 Beckley street and John McKer-

one from Bethel. one from Concord,
y. H., and one from Westerly, r. I.
These are to meet the labor commit

labor question and whatever of impor-
tance may come up.
Committee meetings of this sort are
not regular, rs are the annual meet
ings of the whole association. to which
zach local order large enough to have
a charter sends its representative, but
may be called at any time.
The joint meeting at the opera house
last night was well attended by all
members of the three trades and the

wards.

Working Hours At Bethel

WITH LARGE FORCE
Representative of A. F. of
L. Present During
Negotiations

Bethel, Aug. 23.-After a shutdown
of two week., ,1ue to negotiations with
the worke5. > de tannery resumed op-
erations eerday with a large force
of N = nd women employees, which
vii, sumo normal proportions i'm
~ 4tely. The net result of the
o endly controversy between the com
,,any and the workers is that hours
are slightly heightened and wages re-
duced practically 10 per cent.
Under the new agreement, which
will expire May |, 1922, working hours
are to II and ! to 5, five days in
the week and to II Saturdays, a to-
tai of so hours week, compared with
40 hours at present.
Under this agreement unskilled
workmen will earn about $40 week,
beamhouse men, S22; stakers, S24 or
S25; buffers, $50: tackers, $50, and
shavers, S35. Women employed in the
dyeing room earn $3.50 to SIS. As in

Morrison and Antonio Petrillo, com
mittee, and by Bernard G. Quinn OF
Philadelphia, representing the Ameri

tions was appreciated by parties on
both sides Of the controversy.
Mr.. Fisher states that the com
pany has a good supply of hides and
a fair amount of orders, but that bus
mess is far from good throughout the
country, due, he believes, to the fall.
ing in export trade caused by condi.
tions following the war and the ina.
bility of foreigners TO buy heavily.
Once more the tannery company has
shown itself very fair in meeting the
employees half way, and the workers
have shown an earnest desire to settle
upon an equitable basis. Bethel has
vet to meet its first serious labor dis
pute in either of its chief industries

ALLEGED SWINDLER
OF WOMEN CAUGHT
Arthur Cohen of Boston Is Said to
Have Victimized Vermont Wom-
en- Very often.

! Newport, Aug. 23.-Deputy Sheriff
Il. j. Hill, Detective f. c. Brown of
Boston and States Attorney A W.
| Farman arrived here from Rockland,
Me-, this noon, having in custody Ar
thur or Abraham Cohen, whom they
placed in the Orleans county Jail.
| Cohen comes from Boston and il seems
that he has been extremely successful
in separating unsuspecting women
from their money and operating
an exceedingly lucrative swindling
game in this city, as well as in Bur
lington, .Winooski, ST. Adams, Rich
ford and st. Johnsbury, while styling
himself representative of the Peo-
pies Furniture Co. of Boston.
Cohen's plan consisted of weekly
payments of 50 cents each, up to $50,
the payer having the choice of prizes
of furniture, jewelry, etc, under GER
tain conditions. More than 20 cards
have been turned in to the states at
torney showing where these payments
have been made, and he estimates that
there as twice that many in Newport,
representing a payment of something
like $1,000.
The suspicious of States Attorney.
Farman were aroused about thIS
weeks ago when one of the payrA~
cards was shown to him and be be, n
an investigation Detective Brown was
also on the trail and found the Peo
ple's Furniture Co. on Washington
street in Boston. At least the name
was on the directory outside the
building, but the room where the com
pany was supposed to do business was
empty save for desk, which was also
empty. A collection of letters had been
showed through the letter side in the
door and these were found to be fron
anxious patrons.
Detective Brown located Cohen in
Camden, Me, about Is miles from
Rockland. Cohen was enjoying a fish
ing trip with friends. At first Cohen
refused to accompany the officers, but
was advised by his counsel, leading
attorney of Rockland, to submit to ar
rest. Cohen is a man OF engaging man
ner.
Detective Brown is also on the trail
of others who are thought to have been
associated with Cohen in this scheme |
and more developments are looked for.
One of Cohen's schemes was to Sc
lect each week some lady who had |
been active in securing new subscrib- |
ers to his plan and give her choice |
Of articles offered as prizes, without |
further payment. In this way, watch |
which would not keep good time and a
lamp of small value found their way |
TO Cohen's patrons.
