Absence OF "Red
Ink On Warrants
Holds Up Meeting

Accountant James r. Purcell,
Of the ONCE of Controller Sher-
wood L. Rowland, forgot his red
ink yesterday At the meeting of
the board Of finance.
Seems that the controller,
since the first Of the year, has
been calling to the attention Of
the board my new system Of
lining the warrants payable
sheets with red ink so that no
items can be added after the
board signs approval Of pay
ments."
Commissioner John II. Goss
was signing the sheets at the
conclusion Of yesterdays meet
ing.
Hello" he exclaimed. what
have we here?"
The commissioner had found
that the sheet he was about to
sign was not "lined" Is Con-
troller Rowland had indicated
would be his iron clad system
Of presentat ton Of the listings Of
city accounts.
"Any red ink?" asked Ac-
countant Purcell Of a secretary
in the boards meeting place.
There was no red ink. SO the
controllers right-hand aide
rushed downstairs to obtain the
rudy fluid, returned to present
the sheet to Commissioner Goss,
who was the only member Of
the board to remark the omis-
sion until that time.
"Wow!" exclaimed one COM
missioner. did sign that
sheet? Why, the controller
might even have added the
claim presented by the corpora
ton counsel II we'd noticed that
there was no red ink at the
bottom of the sheet"

Discharge Of Woman EN-
ploye Leads to C0n1pli.
cations With Clio

Discharge Of a union stewardess
from employment at the Waterbury
Buckle Company may lead to q
strike Of other union employees Of
that company. Union officials
claim that the discharge Of Mrs.
Marie Thibeau was "unjustifiable,"
and employees in session at the Wa
terbury Brass Workers union head
quarters last night voted to hold o
strike referendum Monday after
noon at O'Donnell's hall.
Jerome r. Lavigne, secretary and
general manager Of the company
refused to comment ON the situa-
ton this morning.
John J. Driscoll, executive secre-
tary Of the union, an affiliate of
the g. I. o., said today that the
action Is the result Of long series
Of unsatisfactory relations with the
company. In addition to seeking
the restoration Of Mrs. Thibeau's
job, the union will seek 10 per
cent wage increase, minimum wage
standards, a preferred hiring List
and q closed union shop.
According to Mr.. Driscoll, COM
pany officials charge Mrs. Thibeau
was interfering with plant oper-
atoms. "This charge is unjustifi-
able" said Mr.. Driscoll. A meeting
Of company and union officials was
held yesterday but no agreement
was arrived at
Mr.. Lavigne said today that he
did not know Of any other confer
ences being planned.
The union has referred the ques-
ton to the state board Of mediation
for consideration. No action Is ex-
pected to materialize until the

tive committee Of the Waterbury

OF the 1854 deaths In Connecticut
In 1887, the last year in which COM
plete figures are as yet available, L.
218 deaths were due to accident, ac-
cording to William c. yelling, di-
doctor of the bureau Of vital Stats
tics Of the state department OF
health in a summary Of accidental
deaths for 1885 and 1887 In Con-
necticut IN the departments current
monthly bulletin.
In a. breakdown analysis OF ac-
cidental deaths for the two years,
Mr.. yelling showed that home ac-
cidents causing 1872 per cent of ac-
cidental deaths was second to motor
vehicle accidents causing 1851 per
cent of the accidental deaths. Mex:
in total we're accidents In public
places with 1854 per cent and acct
dents In industry with 4.3 per cent
Of the accidental deaths.
Mr.. yelling warned of falls in
the home for these caused more than
two-thirds of the home accidents,
others being due to confiagration.
burns and explosions.
The motor vehicle Is now the chief
cause Of accidental deaths in Con-
necticut. Deaths of pedestrians In
collision with motor vehicles account
for almost exactly so per cent of all
motor vehicle accidental deaths, the
saddest part Of which is that most
of those killed were crossing the
streets at places other than the reg
ulation crossing.
Drowning as case Of death heads
the list Of accidental deaths in pub
lie places. Mr.. yelling commented
on the seasonal aspect Of such ac-
cidents. These being greater In June
July and August, though November
and December also take heavy toll
on account of skating.
