Washington has been almost as up
set this past week as if there was to
be a complete change Of administrs-
tion March T. AS Il matter of fact,
there has been more uncertainty as
to what is to happen on and after
the next inaugural date than ordi-
narily there is when new man is
coming into the White House. A new
President begins the construction of
his cabinet very soon after election,
and by the first of the year the port
folios are nearly, if not completely,
assigned and there is nothing left for
the bells on the 4th OF March but to
ring out the old and ring in the new.
With Mr.. Coolidge's official family
it has been a question of who will
stay and who will go. AT the close
of an old administration there is no
doubt as to who will go. But always
where a President has succeeded to
office through death and then wins
an election in his own right there is
uncertainty and a plethora of gos-
sip up to the day that he settles down
for four years Of earned rather than
inherited power.
Mistakes" Not SO Numerous.
In some of his recent acts in prepa-
ration for his own term of Office Pres
ident Coolidge has paid high tribute
to the Harding administration. and
the many critics who felt the late
President had been "unfortunate" in
his selections for public office have
begun TO revise their estimate of the
so-called Harding men" and TO re-
alize that perhaps, after all, the Hard
ing mistakes" were not so numer.
Gus as the country had been led to
believe.
President Coolidge is showing 9
decided prediction for the Harding
man. His new Secretary of State Is
to be AMBASSADOR Kellogg, who was
sent to the Court of St James by
President Harding as the successor
Of George Harvey. Mr. Coolidge's

WEAVERS RETURN
 RUN TWOLOOMS
Walkout at Waterman Worsted Go. Lasts Through Tuesday
 Morning
Vote Diseloses Desire of Employees
 to Work

All but a few of the nearly fifty weavers employed by the Waterman Worsted Company refused to go to work, Tuesday morning. The reason for their declining to resume their work was because notice was given that each weaver would have to run two looms whereas before only one machine was operated by each em- ploye.
 The matter was taken under con sideration by the operatives and dur ing the morning a meeting was held and a vote taken to see whether a majority favored going in again under the conditions offered. The vote was in favor of going back and the weav- CTS reported for work after the noon hour.
 It is understood that the order for the running of two looms became known Monday and that during the day was generally discussed among the employees resulting in Tuesday mornings action

1 At the hospital the men were found to be suffering severely from shock in addition to their physical wounds, and it was at first doubted if either would live. Thursday morning Beaulac showed signs of improvement and it was said that he would probably re- cover, but no hope was held out for Dnsiak; his death was said to be only matter of short time.
 Reside In North Crosvenerdals Both of the men live in North Gros- venordale and were employed in the mill. Beaulac married the eighteen year old daughter of Duslak not long ago. They started out on the motor- cycle and left the main highway at Grosvenordale to come down the back road ..-ward Thompson.
 The railroad crossing is one of the worst blind crossings in the county. A part of the mill of the Grosvcnordale Company and the railroad station of the New Haven road shuts off vision of the track toward Putnam until one is practically on the crossing. While a bell alarm warning signal is main tained by the railroad company, the noise of nearby waterfall and tho noise of the mill make 1t difficult to hear the bell.
 Alcide Maynard of North Grosven- ordale was the only eyewitness of the accident. and he is said to have told the police that the crossing bell and the bell on the locomotive were ring ing as the passenger train approached the crossing. Before the construction of the new road from Grosvenordale to West Thompson this crossing was much in use. but since the new road was opened it is used but little.
