ton to Service Account of Retirement Plan

Naugatuck, Dec. 23-The U. s..
Rubber Company has authorized
an Appropriation of $4,000 to the
Service account Of the Retirement
and Savings plan as Of Dec. 81,
1885, to be available to holders of
Service shares on April ], 1887, 1t is
announced In statement issued
today by F. B. Davis, Jr, president
OF the company, and received here
By the local plant Of the company.
The news is Of interest to hundreds
Of local and Waterbury persons who
are employed or who have been en-
pIOyed in the plant.
Early this year the company ap-
propriated $4,000 the Service
account so that the total amount
available April /, 1887 will be about
ez5l,OO0. 1t is estimated that the
Number Of Service shares outstand-
ing on April l, 1887 will be 271, 900
with q value Of one dollar each for
the period beginning on that date.
Feature Of Statement
One feature Of the statement by
the president Is the following: "the
most important part of the pro-
gram is the maintenance Of wage
level equal to or higher than that
ID similar lines of work In the
Communities IN which the various
p1nnts are located, and steady, all

side Of East Main street from the
Meriden road east to q point OPP
posite Calvary cemetery. For years
he was member Of the Mattatuck
Drum Corps, and was prominent in
its affairs up to short time ago.
A historian in world and city af-
fairs, Mr.. Miller's exceptional
knowledge has been sought upon
numerous occasions by people in
terested in this particular branch
Of study.
The house was built In 1892 by Mr..
Miller himself.
Praises Firemen
A defective chimney Is blamed
for the fire.
"Fire In the night season when
families have retired is a terrible
thing" observed Mr.. Miller. I'VE
are indeed lucky. And let me say
publicly / never observed better
work on the part Of fire depart
ment before. It seemed only 0 min
ute or so before they were here
after our telephone call. I doT my
hat In appreciation of the excellent
work of Deputy Chief Cavanaugh
and his men. Their alertness and
action easily proved their worth to
the public Of Waterbury"
Oil Fire
At 4:45 o'clock this morning,
smoke filled the four story building
at 226-228 North Main street on the
ground floor by The Tower OIL
Burner Home Appliance Co. and
by three families above. Mrs. Louis
Cchiiff, occupant of Bird floor,
smelled smoke awakened her hus-
band, who in turn notified the fire
department by telephone.
The cause of the fire was an over
flow of oil running along the line
to the steam boiler. Hot carbon
dropped down and ignited the sur
plus oil in the pit. Several hand
extinguishers were used to stop the
fire. The burner itself was also
stopped by the firemen. Whatever
damage resulted was from the
smoke. The building is owned by
the Waterbury Savings Bank.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-23

in the strike, denied he was net
sincere in seeking to end the strike.
He said the owners had attempted to
disrupt the program Of cooperation
among the striking unions and as
serted no smoke screen is "big
enough to conceal those really re-
sponsible for prolonging the strike"
The word battle ended all appear
ances of good will between the war
ring factions and increased the re-
sentiments Of both groups.
How this outbreak between the
owners and strikers will result was
doubtful. Heretofore the strike has
been conducted without violence.
There have been no outbreaks such
as marked the 1884 trouble, when
men were killed and skulls cracked
in pitched battles.

the extent that it can be provided
through careful planning"
The statement points out that d.
rect cash expenditures for the ben
eft IF employees during 1886, aside
from wages and salariec, total well
over $1,2O0,0 900. The items include:
$565, 900 for pension. and disability
allowances under the company's
pension plan; $4,000 for unem-
ployment Insurance under the fed
eral adm various state laws, SIS, 900
first contribution to the Service
fund; $4,000 second contribution

There are many holders Of Ser
vice shares here, Charles T. Nc
Carthy, company official, said to-
cay. The statement Of Mr.. Davis
adds that expenditu es during 1887
will ..lude the usual pension
pa. ments, a contribution for I'M
employment insurance and an ad-
ditional payment If approximately
$3.50, 900 for Federal Old Age PEN

volved in what police claim was a
wholesale series Of car thefts last
spring.
Schuster has been in jail in Phila-
delphia for the past several months
and local police were informed yes
terday that his term expired today.
Chief Inspector Joseph p. Stevens
at once detailed Lieut.. Pollard to
claim custody of the youth when
he is released from Jail.
Schuster will be arraigned in
city court December 28 together
with Edward Root, Is, Of 81 Grand
view avenue, and william Walker,
20, of AZ Washington street. All
three are charged with theft Of
automobiles.
Police claim that the trio was re-
sponsible for Is or more car thefts
here in March and April Of this
year. According to detectives, the
three had a shack in Middlebury, to
which they drove stolen cars,
stripped them and looted them Of
equipment.
The cases Of Walker and Root
were continued in city court here
in May after Schuster had been
arrested and sentenced to jail in
Philadelphia.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-23

The first floor was occupied by
Charles T. Miller, his invalid wife,
Mary c., and her nurse, Mrs. Mary
Payton. The second floor occupants
were Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Voghel,
and their two children, Theodore,
Jr., aged 6, and Janette, 2h.
Hasty Exit
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Voghel, who, when she awakened
found the room full of smoke, and
the kitchen a mass Of flames. She
uttered a cry Of "fire", aroused her
husband, and the two caught up the
children, and going to the Miller
apartment notified them of the sit
uation. In the extreme cold, Mr..
Miller ran as fast as possible to the
home Of Nicholas Hapenney, east
erly to send in a call for the fire de-
partment.
Engine 5 soon responded under
Captain Charles Booth. So did
Truck 3 under Acting Lieut.. James
Mcdonald. A line was quickly laid
by Engine from the hydrant at
the corner, followed by another line
from the same hydrant on the part
of Engine 2, under Lieut.. Frank
Finn. Deputy Chief Thomas Cav
anaugh, in charge, had the lines run
inside to the upper floor, where all
the fire seemed to be. In the mean
time, Mrs. Miller was bundled up
and carried to the Hapenney home
by Private Harold Parker of Engine
2.
The entire upper part of the
house was badly damaged, but for
tunately, the fire was held there,
and at no time was 1t allowed to
reach the first floor. Covers were
laid to protect the household effects
of both floors.
Estimate Damages
The entire damage will not ex-
coed $4,000, we think.
Mr.. Miller's valuable historical
volumes escaped damage. No man
is better known In the eastern part
of the city than Mr.. Miller. He
has lived out that way all Of his
life, and at one time, his house was
one Of the only three on the north
