 cast Warning.

New Britain merchants are wor- ried about shoplifting. So much of it is said to be going on in this city that the directors of the mercantile bureau took official recognition of this fact at meeting at the Cham Der of Commerce rooms this morn- ing.
 The situation was discussed freely It was alleged that persons who have been arrested and convicted of shop lifting in this city recently. are again suspected of operating in the stores
 That there is an unusual amount of shoplifting in the city for this time of the year was admitted by several merchants. One is alleged to have said that he lost money on one department in his store because of this type of thievery.
 A warning was issued to all mer- chants to be especially vigilant in guarding against shoplifting and to be more pcrsevering in prosecutions when possible.
 The proposition. of mercantile outing. of both employers and em- ployes was suggested for July 6. the first Wednesday half holiday. The final decision was left to a commit tee to be appointed.
 Various conditions relating to membership in mercantile bureau and collection of dues were discussed A committee will 50 into this matter further.

CITY WORKERS URGED
 TO MARCH IN PARADE
Turn Out Last Year a Disgrace, Mayor
 Weld Says

Mayor Weld today addressed a communication to city officials and employees exhorting them to march in next Mondays Memorial Day parade, reminding them that the small turnout last year was a dis grace and asking that it be not re- peated this year.
 His letter follows:
 ITO the Members of the City Gov crnment:
 "All members of the city govern ment have been invited to partici- pate in the Memorial Day exercises and parade to be held Monday morn- ing. May 30th. The parade will start at 10 o'clock D. s. T, and mem- bers of the city government will meet in front of City Hall at 9:3O D. S. T., marching to Franklin square where the parade will form. Tt is on this day that we pay our respect to the soldiers and sailors both the living and the dead, of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 T wish to urge every member of the city government to take part in these exercises. The fact that such Q small number took part last year was. to my mind, a disgrace and shall expect a large representation this year.
 "1 ours very truly,
 GARDNER C. WELD,
 Mayor"
