The present cold snap, following
the severest freeze, sleet and snow
storm of the winter. though it is the
cause of great temporary discomfort,
will be worth many thousands of dol
lars to the farming interests of the
country, it is claimed. Already farm
experts are beginning to speculate on
a year free of boil weevil depreda-
tons and a much better cotton crop
resultngl Experts have never admit
ted that cold weather affects the Wee
vii as much as it does other insects,
but at the same time it is recalled
that severe winters in the past have
delayed the advent of the wevil into
this rgion another year, and that last
summer, which followed an extraor- =
dinarily mild winter, was the first
season in which the weevil did any
considerable damage here.

BAKERS DISPUTE over
NON-UNION WORKMAN
Strife in Ranks of Organi-
zatiOn Caused by Park
er-Buckey Employe

It became known this morning that
the New Britain branch of the Bak-
ers union is undergoing period of
internal strife and unless adjustments
can be reached at meeting Saturday
evening a serious breach is expected,
A baker employed at the Parker
Ruckey Baking Co., plant on Winter
street, is not affiliated with the union
and, 1t is reported. has not been ac-
cepted into the organization although
he has applied He Is regarded as
good workman .and the concern, as
we'll as his foreman, Nicholas Bouczzi
who also happens to be the business
agent for the union in New Britain,
dislikes to dispense with her services,
it was authoritatively reported this
morning, the manageme ent of the con
cern has delivered an ultimatum to
the union that the man will not be
discharged. It Is said that the baking
company is agreeable to meeting q
committee of the union, but that or
ganization prefers to follow its adopt
ed procedure of refusing its members
the right to work with non union men.
The baker in question, one Feretti
by name, is former factory employe.
There was a vacancy in the force at
Parke -Buckey's and after searching
vainly for union baker in New Brit
ain. and elsewhere throughout the
state, the firm offered him job. He
reached an understanding with the
business agent Bouczzi, with whom
he was to work. that he would apply
for admission to the union. This he
did but was rejected, it was explained
this morning. fiery debate followed
in which the business agent cham
pioned his non union helper which
action did not set well with his asso
ciates. The meeting will have its
sequel Saturday when, it is reported,
Bouczzi will again attempt to have
Faretti accepted into the union,
Should he fail and the baking com
pany declines to release him, the
of union men from the
plant Is likely to be ordered.

The inspector has already verbally
refused to issue a permit unless the
present specifications are changed to

church. Stein and WeXler were for
merly partners In business and when
a dissolution was decided upon, Stein
says, they agreed to be good friends,
but he claims Wexler has been 9TH

Wexler, on the other hand says
Stein has undertaken changes In
