AUTO STRIKE IS
BEING QUIETED

Toledo, O., May SUPP
Threats Of further walkouts in the
automotive industry abated today
as the impasse in the Chevrolet
plant strike here was broken
Strike officials agreed to a poll OF
Toledo Chevrolet workers on ac-
ceptance of General Motor Cor
poration's compromise proposal
which provides a 5 per cent wage
increase and other concessions. Ma
jority sentiment among workers to
accept the offer was indicated. Ed
ward r. McGrady, assistant secre-
tary Of labor, will supervise the
poll, which probably will be held
this week. Workers will vote on
neutral grounds, with the federal
building here the likely polling
place.
McGrady and Thomas ]. Will
liams, also Of the department OF
labor, acted as conciliators in
breaking the deadlock. Previously
the plant union had refused to
end the strike until General Motors
signed q working agreement, which
among other things would have
provided for union recognition, a
maximum wage, general wage in
crease and improved working con-
ditions.

PAYMENT FOR sum
GIVEN OUT ASKED
City Seeks Reimbursement
for Welfare Care of
Richardson Children

The City Of waterbury today
filed q petition in superior court
In which II seeks reimbursement
for moneys expended by its well
fare department for the care and
maintenance Of several children Of
Mrs. and Mrs. William Richardson.
1t Is an unusual action, in which
the city raises the question of
whether are parents OF the chill
dren established legal residence
here. The superior court Ia asked
to order the Town Of Prospect to
care for the children.
The paper explains that the
Richardson's have six minor chill
dren and three married children.
In November Of 1882. the six chil-
dren became the public charges
Of the City Of Waterbury on the
claim of their father, and that
they were cared for by the welfare
department to March /, 1895. The
city paid $775.s2 for food, CLOTH
ing and maintenance and the
children are still receiving aid
from the city, says the com plant.
The application for their commit
ment was made by Albert T. AL
len, first selectman of Prospect, ac-
cording to the city's petition.
The city claims that the parents
ibid not gain legal settlement, in
| Waterbury Because some Of the
children were in the county home
as late as Feb. 10, 1882. The father
left the mother In Prospect in 1928
and has not resided with her since,
according to the city's petition.
Mrs. Richardson with her six chill
dren came to Waterbury on Nov.
15, 1894, the city alleges in its Pc
| tition.
The city asks that it be reim-
bursed from the trust fund for the
moneys it expended and the settle
ment and liability of the paupers
be established as to what town
shall be liable for their future
support and maintenance.

 America started the day with three points from Saturdays vic- tories. Paul Runyan gained the first singles triumph by defeating Dick Burton, 5 and 3; Gene Sara zen defeated Jack Busson and 2 and Johnny Revolta added sixth point with and victory over Reggie Whitcombe.
 Britain's only singles victory came after America already had won the cup, when Percy Allis de- feated Craig Wood, up. In the other matches, Henry Picard de- feated Ernest Whitcombe, and 2, w. J. Cox, England. halved with Horton Smith, and Ali Perry, Brit ish open champion, and Sam Parks, American open champion, also bat tied to a draw.
