THE name of Bennett originated
from the personal name of Bene-
dict, :. During the reigns OF the Ed
wards, II and III, the name is found
modified, Fitz-Benedict, Benediscite
Benediste, Bendish, Bennett.
Some have advanced the theory that
it comes from benet, the name Of a
minor order of priests, but this is most
improbable.
The founder of the Bennett family
which has been a prominent one il
America, particularly in the Southern
States. for many generations. was
Richard. He was the nephew of Ed
ward Bennett, wealthy merchant of
London, and member of the Virginia
company.
Richard Bennett became identified
in his adopted home with many pub
lie offices. He served as a member of
the House of Burgesses in 1929 and
1851 and was a member of the Council
in 1642-49 He later removed to
Maryland, but returned to Virginia,
and, in 1851 ..was appointed by Parlia-
ment one of the commissioners to re-
duce Virginia and Maryland. He was
Governor of the Colony in 1862.
Robert Bennett, a brother of Ed
ward Bennett of London, also came
to Virginia, prior to 1923, and took up
grant of land in Nansemond County.
Descendants of this splendid family
are now found in almost every South
ern State and in the Far West.
Among those who settled in the
New England States we're William
Bennett, who came to Plymouth in
1851 and finally settled in Salem,
Mass; Thomas. who came to Fairfield,
Conn, in 1864; Francis, resident of
Boston in 1850, and James, a free
man in Concord in 1889. There we're
other New England settlers of this
name, who will be discussed at a
future date

 Ratchet Not Buried
 Police said today that they were keeping secret the name of the unnamed Intermediary, who brought Spallone and the two brothers together afternoon in an attempt at having them bury the hatchet. During the alleged as- sault, which police said took place at 235 Congress avenue where a store is being fitted out as 8 tav- ern, the intermediary had a gun taken from him by one of the Sal inardis. Police claimed today that the man in question had a permit to carry the gun, and that he will be produced as a witness against the two brothers when the case is heard in city court next Satur- day morning.
 In court this morning, Judge Mascolo denied an application that bonds be set at S1,000 in each case and instead put the mat S2, 2,500. It was reported that the charges against the Salinardis may be changed from assualt to aggrava- ted assualt before their cases are heard next week.
 Same Old Victim
 Spallone was victim of an as- sault by Frank Salinardi only a few months ago and his testimony sent his enemy to jail, from which he was released only a few days ago. Frank Salinardi and Spallone have been at odds since year ago. when Spallone and John Salinardi were involved in dispute, with the older man alleged1y beating up young Salinardi.
 Detectives Connie Shanahan and Joseph Bendler opened the inves- tigation which led to the two ar- rests when they learned that Spal- lone had been brought to Water. bury hospital yesterday afternoon

fered and she replied tn the af- firmativ. At the caucus Mr DeBis- schop received votes, Mrs B0wes 6 votes and Mrs Dorothy l.. Van dercook two votes for the posts of district delegates and that Mrs Dutton had received eight votes, ex-Mayor Sandland six votes and ex-Alderman Arthur P. Blewitt two votes for the central commit tee posts. The old organization was in the drivers seat, the report showed.
 It was then claimed by Chair man Palomba that in view of the fact that there was a contest in the 18th district with more than the necessary number of candidaes in the race, nominations for delegates and the central committee posts from the 18th would have to be ra- tified by the entire town conven- ion. This ruling brought a mur- fhur of protest, the old 0rganiza- ton leaders realizing that they were in the minority in the con. 'vention as whole. Miss Dillane, Raymond Miller and Leslie Coley of the 10th protested and MT Mill Ter moved that the entire matter be referred to the cenral commi- tee chairman for Q ruling. An effort was made to have ex-Alder- man Blewitt and Mrs Vandercook retire at another brief caucus but without result.
 Two Are Ratified
 It was then pointed out that the time for selecting delegates to the state convention is about up and that any delay in the naming of the 18th district delegates might leave Waterbury with only six del- egates at the state session. It was then agreed to ratify the selection of MT DeBisschop and Mrs Bowes as delegaes and to leave the elec- tion of the central committee mem- bers from the 16th up to the state body for ruling.
 Attorney Palomba, who was cleo ted chairman of the state delega- tion, adjourned the town conven-. tion, subject to further call. At later date the candidates for the house and for justices of the peace will be picked. It is expected that the other local g. o. D. conventions will be gotten out of the way dur ing the next week or ten days. Chairman Palomba sai dthis morn ing that he was preparing the calls for the sessions at the present time.

 most of the manufacturers pre- ferred to keep their mills running than to close them because there is an advantage in having the op- erating organization in motion. The rising cost of cotton and the falling off of the market for the finished product has cut deeply in the revenue of mills"
 The manufacturers association, with headquarters here, repre- sents 9,000,O00 of the 100000 active spindles in New England.
 Fisher said most northern New England mills would open Tues day.
 Mill homogeneous declare that they wish to do all in their power to furnish employment insofar as they are able to sell goods" he said. Members generally say that they have obeyed requirements of the cotton textile code as to wage scales and other requirements, both in spirit and letter."
 Because of Fishers statement regar ing unemployment of strikebreakers, it was believed a form letter. circulated by Bos- ton detective agency, offering to supply strikebreakers. would be ig- nored by most manufacturers. Both police and UTWA leaders were wary of the activities of com munist agitators who already have injected themselves into the strike situation. UTWA officials have cautioned local leaders against al- lowing the communists to assume direction of the strike.
 Reversing their previous deci- sion, officials of the Amoskeag Manufacturing company at Man chester, N. H., employing some 13,000 and the largest textile unit in the nation. have announced that the plant will not open Tuesday.
 At another important textile center, New Bedford, however, it was announced that 2S cotton mills will open Tuesday. Union leaders there predicted that 100 per cent of the city's operatives would strike.
 Lowelps mills also will open Tuesday.
 The situation at Fall River was puzzle. There are some 22,000 operatives in that city. The UTWA claims a membership of 5000. It is estimated that the American Federation of Textile Operatives, regarded as a conservative union, has 1000 members. The other op- eeratives are unorganized.

LABOR BOARD IN
 IMPORTANT RULING
tcontinued from Page 1.)

The decision was hailed as q great victory for the American Federation of Labor, which, ac- cording to John T. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, would have suffered it's most serious setback had the ruling fav- ored the minority.
 The ruling of the three-man labor tribunal, headed by 3S-year old Lloyd K. Garrison, had been yanxiously awaited.
 It reverses the decree of Presi- dent Roosevelt, in the automobile strike, that If there be more than one group. each bargaining com mittee shall have total membership pro-rata to the number of men each member represents" Howe ever. it was recalled that MT Roosevelt's action had been only an emergency expedient.
 The board declared President Roosevelt, on February l. 1894, had held in favor of majority rule.
 Victory for Federation
 Today's decision. represented a victory for the American Fedora ton of Labor since that body has consistently contended that where its unions represent majority O. employees in plant, they must be recognized as the exclusive repre- sentatives of all employees for col lective bargaining.
 The country's major industries had awaited the ruling with inter- est. Steel firms were reported considering abrogation of the Steel Code if forced to recognize unions not to their liking.
 The board held that:
 When a person, committee, or orga anization has been designated by the majority of employees in a plant or other appropriate unit for collective bargaining, 1t is the right of the representative so des- ignated to be treated by the em- ployer as the exclusive collective bargaining agency of all employees in the unit, and the employers duty to make every reasonable ef- effort, when requested, to arrive with this representative at a col lective agreement covering terms of employment of all such em' ployes."
 Major industries have expressed unwillingness to deal with A. F. oi l., unions exclusively. Their claim has been that company unions should not be ignored.
 Must Bow to Majority
 Under the decision. if 8 company union loses an election, it must bow to the victorious body or or ganized workers. In the present case, the Houde Engineering Com. pany was found to have violated section TIA. by interfering with the self elf.oreantzation Of It's employees 'ampairing their right of collec- tive bargaipiHs.r and refusing tc bargain exclusively with United Automobile Workers Federal La
