CITY CHECKER CHAMPION l
 ELIMINATED FRON JOUST|
Harry Stronqutst Goes Down Before Nathan Stephenson, Title
 Holder in 1925.

Harry Stromquist. for the past two years New Britain's checker champ ion. was definitely eliminated from the 1928 championship at tho ses- sion of the tournament at tho Y. NJ. C. A. last evening. The honors in the contest went to Nathan Stephen son. who held the championship in 1925.
 The contest was fought every step by the two champions. Strom- eufst took the first game. The next three were tied. Stephenson was too keen for his opponent in the final games however and took the last two. defeating stromquist with a majority of one game and eliminat- ing him from the balance of the championship honors.
 This gives Stromquist an oppor- tunity to play for the championship in the consolation tournament. but leaves him definitely out of the championship for this year.
 E. L. Urban was defeated by A. l.. Baker. Another tough battle was that between H. A. Abrahamson, mail carrier. and c. L. Hickey. Each man took three games. They will be required to play off the tie sometime during the week.

EARLY SETTLEMENT
 HOPE DISAPPEARS
300 Members Of the Union Vote
 Down Proposals

Haverhill, Mass, Jan. 2S (UP)- Hope for an early settlement of Haverhill's shoe strike vanished to- day when 800 members of the Machine Operators and Finishcrs' union voted not to accept the settle ment proposals of the citizens com- mittce.
 Adverse Action Predicted
 Other unions, representing the re- of the 5000 operatives still on strike. were to consider the re- concentrations during the day, but labor leaders predicted that the &C., tion would be adverse in every case.
 The Machine Operators and Fin 'shers' union rejected the commit tees proposals after being addressed by John D. Nolan. general presi- dent of the Shoe Workers Protec- ton union. and Joseph Bearak of Boston. counsel for the union.
 If, as is expected, the other unions take similar adverse action on the recommendations, Az shoe factories will remain idle while new steps toward a settlement are taken.
 Recommendations Made
 The citizens committee, composed of three representatives of the Man. Utacturers' Association and three representatives ot the Shoe Workers Protective Union. had recommended that the workers return under the controversial 1928 wage scale; that each side appoint committee with in six days to settle the dispute: that the so-called peace pact" be amended to provide for rehearing on any dispute at the request of either side; that the joint committee review the 1928 wage scale with special reference to any point which either side might suggest: and that both union and manufacturers organiza : tons amend their bylaws to pro- vide quick accountability of their members to some governing associa : tion head.
 5000 On Strike
