Settlers Village. Waterburys so- called wonderland" in Chase park, is being rapidly dismantled. All the exhibits which have been on dis play ct the exposition since its formal opening Independence Day are being removed under the super vision of committees representing the various nationalities involved. The insurance on the exhibits ex- pires tomorrow and the corporation is desirous of their removal by that time.
 The exhibits will be stored away until next spring probably in May when the exposition will be re- opened to the general public. Watchmen will be on duty through out the winter months to safeguard the buildings against fire and varl- dalism of any degree.
 Over 65,O0O
 The total attendance at Settlers Village since 1t was opened in July reached 65,080 before the stockaded gates of the settlement were swung closed for the season last Sunday evening. This total represents the paid attendance and does not in- clude thousands of school children, under 12 years of age, who were ad- mitted free. Over 50,000 of the grand total visited the village since Sept. l, an admirable record for ap- proximately 40 days.
 William M. Harris, manager of Settlers Village, informed the Dem- ocrat today that the grand total would probably have reached 120.- 900 if the village had been com- pleted by the time the gates were thrown open in July.

Wage Agreement For
 Scovill Co. Employees
Five Per Cent Increase Petition Dropped-Time and
 One-fialf for Over 45=fIOur Schedule

Skilled workers of the Scovill Manufacturing company will not re- ceive the five per cent raise in pay they asked for two weeks ago. Also, they will not receive time and one- half for time worked over eight hours, daily, as they requested. A compromise between the employees and officials of the Scovill company has been reached. The demand for the five per cent raise in pay has been dropped, for the present at least, and the time and one-half will be paid for all time worked over AS hours week.
 The demands for the pay raise and time and one-half over eight hours day made a couple of weeks ago resulted in several meetings last week of employees of the Scovill plant, the last one taking place last Friday afternoon following the days work.
 Original Plan
 When the time. and one-half pay for over eight hours a day was orig inally presented the Scovill company countered with an offer of time and one-half for all time over 48 hours a week. Finally the compromise figure of 45 hours per week and time and one-half over that amount of time worked was reached.
 The discussion concerning the pay increase and the time and one-half matter was carried on between the employees and the company officials in a peaceable manner. E. o. Goss and John H. Goss, president and vice-president respectively of the Scovill company, conferred with the employees representatives last week and heard their side of the problem.
