According to the complaint Mrs Hewitt on and prior to Jan l. 1898. was engaged fin the dress making business and was earning upwards ot $G0 weekly. On that dnte, the late MT Hewitt is alleged to lave asked the plaintiff to marry him and in consideration of said marriage he promised her that at his death she would receive one- half of his estate.
 At the time of the promise, the complaint says. MT Hewitt waf worth $26,000 and, relying upon his promise, the plaintiff married tho defendant On March 9, 1896.
 During the marriage relation. which existed up to the time of Mir Hewitts death, the plaintiff and defendant lived happily and were referred To as partners by Mr Hewitt. the papers say. and MT Hewitt repeatedly told the defend ant that half of what he had was hers and that he would leave 1t 10 her by will.
 On Sept. 20. 1892. Mr Hewitt died and left a will in which he failed to carry out his promise. tho complaint alleges. At his death he left f. last will and testament In which the Waterbury Trust Co, was named executor. which will has been admitted to probate by

 Due to tho unusual load the plane carried, extra precautions were taken by field officials. The fro department had two full crews
 on hand with emergency equip- mcnt, and an ambulance from Kings county hospital drew up to
 the long runway shortly before the take-off.
 The huge silver cOlored mono-

(Continued from Page 1.) just bit too much. But with the Intervention of President Roosevelt he won out. it.
 Johnson. persuaded to attempt mediation soon found he had taken on all the major controversies that are apt to arise during his leader ship of the MIRA. Interwoven in the strike were disputes between capital and labor that had their roots well back In the nineteenth century, controversies that were the main obstacles to success of the NRA program.
 The MIRA chief, plainly showing the yeariness caused by hour on hour of conferences, discussions and administrative duties, spent two days on the Pennsylvania prob lem with labor officials and rep prenentatives of the coal and steel industries.
 Before many hours passed he was dealing directly with the head of the U. s. Steel corporation. That contact went back even further to the Morgan interests. And in his negotiations with the Pitts- burgh Coal Company, Johnson dealt with the Mellon interests. The two groups, Morgan and Mellon, represented the strongest antiunion lineup American industry could possibly present.
 To emerge from 8 situation like that with a stttlement satisfactory to the MIRA was regarded as Q signal victory for Johnson, the Roosevelt administration and the national industrial recovery act.

gree of success, have distributed the available hours of work in their plants 90 as to give employ inent to the greatest number of employees. In our own company we had in April of this year about 1,200 employees working two and three days Q week. At the present time we have in excess of 2,200 employees working full time and tho greater number of hours worked per empioyc has made an increase in our payroll of over 260M and would clearly demon stratc that we have been suceess- full in our efforts to increase pur- chasing power.
 The sale. of the products of the watch and clock industry is highly seasonal in character, with two- thirds of its business being done in one-third of the year, thus mak- ing it extremely difficult for the industry to adopt itself to any blanket code, which would not permit of variations on account of seasonal peaks. If we were forced to operate under the blanket code Immediately, 1t would seem qs though we would have to lay off several hundred employees on ac- count of certain choke points in the plants. which can only be re- lieved by tho training of additional skilled operatives, which process requires considerably longer than in the average industry. The code adopted by the Clock Manufacture CTS Association of America recog- nizeg these various difficulties. and provides for same; instead of creating the danger of unempIoy- ment 1t provides a leeway which will enable the industry to add many employees to tits payroll.
 Should the code as submitted to Washington be not approved by September list, the industry pro- poses to agree to work under 1t from that date pending negOtin- tions with the administration.
 Effective, August 7th all wage, day and piece rates for factory em- ployes will be increased 10%, which in combination with the 6 % increase granted by our companies on June 12th, makes tho total in- crease of 1546 in the wages of our employees since June 1Ht.
