 Employers accepted the arbitra- tion plan at meetings last night at Providence, Hartford. Conn. Wor- cester and Springfield, Mass.
 The strike spread to Springfield today with 25 drivers walking out at the M, & P. Transportation com- pany on grounds that the concern had failed to keep its word to sign a new contract.
 At Taunton, Mass, President Ar hold F. White of the Chamber of Commerce, said he had been au- thorized by the chamber to apply for a writ of mandamus to com- pei the mayor and police chief to halt picketing on public highways.
 The strike was called by the h. ternational Brotherhood of Team sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers, an American Federation ot Labor affiliate, in an attempt to yin a three-year contract providing for a 75-cent maximum hourly wage in contrast with present varying rates averaging 60 cents an hour.

A. don't think I talked to him about it at all.
 @. Were you asked those ques- tions and did you make those ans-T A. Yes.
 Record:
 o. Did you get your certificate of stock from Mr.. Leary2
 A, The 1000 shares came from MT. Leary.
 Q. Came from MT. Leary? A, I think 1t was mailed to me. e, Mailed to you from MT. Leary. wasn't it?
 A. Yes.
 c. Did you receive any money from any other source for what you did on that Sterilizer Company? A. No, sir.
 o. We will now pass to the next subject of legislature you were in- terested in. What was it at that ses- sion?
 A. The chain store.
 Chain Store
 @. Who first contacted you in behalf of the chain store?
 A. That came through Mr. Leary and Adams of Boston.
 @. Mir. Leary?
 A, No, MT. Leary sent the man around to see me.
 Further on.
 Q: Did you split with him on anything else2 "
 A. No.
 Were you asked those questions and did you make those answers? A. Yes. c. And when you answered it, you understood the question, didn't you?
 A. Yes. I never got the split. e. Just a moment, l asked you if you understood the question? A. Yes.
 From the record:
 @. Well, now, before you had A. That is the only check, the only money, ever passed of any kind to MT, Leary, in any way. shape or manner.
 Off the record:
 ~. DiQ you make tIlat anSWcrr A. Yes, and 1t Is true.
 @. And you were conscious of what you were saying, weren't you? A, Yes.
 From the record:
 e. That takes care of the chain store proposition. Now what other proposition were you interested in, in that particular session of the leg islature?
 A. The City of Waterbury.
 Meets Leary
 o. How did you happen to get it? A. Well, I often wondered myself, MT. Leary looked me up at the cap- itol when he was up there in 8 very early session of 1895. I had these matters-and MT. Leary lock- ed me up and wanted me to take charge of the legislature program for the City of Waterbury. Where he got nay name--that was the first time I ever met him--the first time I had seen him, l had heard of him as candidate for controller in 1880

that he admitted calling on pres ent U. S. Senator John A. Danaher at Hartford, after the extraordin- ary grand jury investigation started.
 q told him the whole story" he told the grand jury. According to his testimony he said he had to talk to some one, and he admired and liked Danaher.
 For hours, Murray read into the court record, the testimony which Williamson gave before the grand jury. As his voice grew hoarse, he oft-times looked longingly at the clock, awaiting Judge Inglis' signal to halt the proceedings.
 Met At McKesson Co.
 Williamson admitted before the grand jury that he had met Mac- kenzie many times at the McKesson & Robbins company, and said that he believed Mackenzie to be on the McKesson payroll.
 Mackenzie, in the courtroom yes- terday, was called upon by MT. Murray to stand up for identifica- ton by Williamson. His face was an impassive mask as he rose from his seat to be pointed out by his brother lobbyist.
 Did you ever know your pal (Mackenzie) in the crows nest to have any compunction about the na- ture of the bills he killed or pass- ed?" Murray asked.
 Williamson said he had known Mackenzie to refuse to work on bills and brought from Murray che query "Why--not enough money?"
 Crows Nest Wig-Wagging
 The crows nest, Williamson iden- tified as a small room on the fourth floor of the state capitol, where referred to Mackenzie as lurking in the shadows" and "wig-wagging from the crows nest to the com- mitteemen-becau he got paid"
 Musica Subp0enaed
 Seeking to show more clearly the connections of state witnesses in the Waterbury conspiracy trial with F. Donald Coster, late arch swindler and head of the McKesson & Rob- bins company, defense counsel have subpoenaed George Musica, alias George Dietrich, brother of Coster- Musica.
 Dietrich, who was arraigned in New York federal court with Row. ley w. Phillips, head of the board of directors of the R. F. Griggs com- pany of Waterbury, Wednesday of this week, will not be called until after the state rests its case, a per- iod of some weeks.
 The principal reason for calling Dietrich -Musica. It is understood, is to bring to the fore allegations of payments by McKesson & Rob- bins and Coster-M -Musica to Charles E. Williamson and Harry Mackenzie. The former was on the stand yes- terday and the latter will he witt ness later.
 Fair Trade Bill
 Both Williamson and Mackenzie lobbied for the fair trade bill in 1885, which Murray described as "the most dastardly piece of legis- lation ever enacted in the state created in the crooked brain of Cos r-Musica."
 In anticipation of Mackenzie $ testimony, the defense have also obtained Danbury hospital records Mackenzie. who has pleaded guilty spent several weeks in the hospital shortly after the grand jury in- formed against him.

A. Frankly it wasn't . con- fidential talk. It was only ak between two men who were inter- ested in the same problems. Frank ly have been very much interested in this business.
 Q. It has worried you?
 A. Of course, it has worried me o. Did he seem worried about its A. I don't think there was any doubt but what he was.
 O. Did he make any suggestion to you about keeping it covered:
 A. No.

counts of violation of SEC regula- tions. The government alleges that the accused, with Coster-M -Musica, conspired to deceive and defraud holders and purchasers of McKesson & Robbins stock.
 The probe into the sensational case began in December following the suicide of F. Donald Coster, Mo- Kesson & Robbins president, when he was unmasked as Philip Musica, an arch-swindler.

to the pharmacy commission office?
 Retail Druggists A. For two sessions had repre- sented what they called the Retail Druggists association and that is the only time I had represented the druggists.
 Off the record:-
 o. Here in court Tuesday, you testified that some of the trans actions were up in the Crows nest. Is that right?
 A. That's true.
 o. Dow, the Crows Nest wasn't in any Say connected with the Phar- macy Commission was it? A No.
 Q. And is there any time in your testimony before the grand jury that you mentioned the fact that any transaction happened in the Crows Nest?
 A. As far as I can recall, no. Q. Even when you went back the last time to testify before the grand jury you didn't indicate that you had any transaction in the Crows Nest?
 A. think not.
 Record:-
 Q. When we took a recess we were talking about the 5000 check that was given in March, 1885 which. understand, you say one half of it was given to Harry Mac kenzie?
 A. That's right.
 o. The same as the half of the $12,0o0 check?
 A. That's right.
 Q. Did you deposit your half of the 5000 in the bank? A. No. I paid over some of the deducted expense. The same thing is true of the $3,400.
 o. It didn't go into the same account?
 A. Yes. 'That portion of it less expense.
 o. Did MT. Willis know where that money came from?
 Willis Did Not Know
 A. want to say, MT. Alcorn, that MT. Willis didn't know any thing about my profession connected with the City of Waterbury. There is nothing unusual about that be- cause he handled many matters that I knew nothing about MT. Willis did many things I knew noth- ing about and I did many things that he knew nothing about.

 A. I think he knew nothing about the matter.

 @. How was that paid?
 A. The same thing and the same way.
 e. Did you split that with Mac Kenzie?
 A. did.
 Q. Where was the split made? A. My impression is that it was all done in the Pharmacy Commis- sion office in the state capitol. @. Have you seen MT. Mackenzie since this matter became public?' A. Yes.
 o. Talk with him?
 A. Yes.
 o. Talk about the split?
 A. Generally. felt that no doubt I would be called before the grand jury.
 Q. Did you tell him that?
 A. Yes.
 o. Did you talk with him about the money he had received?
 A. No.
 Q. No mention was made ol that?
 A. Of course, the whole thing was talked over. dahingt T5 shrdlu fwyp otot Q. Between you and he?
 A. Yes.
 No Cover Up
 Q. What did you talk about? Just tell us frankly about it. I know that it must have beer very con- fidential talk.
