WILL EXPLAIN WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION. Professor Fisher of Middletown to Be Here Under C. L. U. Auspices. An invitation to an open meeting at the Davis theater next Sunday, at which the workmen's compensation act will be explained, has been issued by the Norwich Central Laoor union. The invitation reads: The Central Labor union of Nor wich urgently requests your presence at an open meeting for the explanation of the workmen's compensation act as presented by the Connecticut Federa tion of Labor at the Davis theater, Sunday, March 9th, at 3 p. m. Prof. Willard C. Fisher, late professor of economics at Wesleyan university, former mayor of Middletown, and one of the men to draft the bill of 1911, will be the speaker of the day. Professor Fisher has made a study of working conditions and is today one of the most thoroughly versed men on the proper form of workmen's compensation. He has appeared time and time again before the legislature in behalf of the bill he will explain. That this bill covers a class of peo ple that is far remote from organized labor, in fact, about everyone that works in any mercantile establish ment, should be sufficient reason for your attendance. " That the expense that you, as an employe, will have to stand, is the lowest in this bill of any presented, should also mean much to you. That for the protection of your home and family, if an employe, in case your father, mother or sister is hurt through perhaps no fault of theirs, indeed it does interest you and you should show your interest in the compensation act as presented to ouc present legislature, to attend for a few hours and be made thoroughly con versant with its making. We desire the presence of the ladies of our city and most especially thos who will be liable to come tinder the provisions of this act. The meeting is free to everyone, no cards or tickets being necessary, and for the convenient seating of th-5 audience, the doors will open at 2.30. Music by union orchestra. GIFTS TO CITY MISSION.

DAIRY AND POMOLQGICAL INSTITUTE Board of Trade Invites Two State Organizations to Come Here April 2nd and 3rd Votes $150 For Expenses of Moving Cordage Manufacturing Plant From Turner ville Industrial Building Thoroughly Discussed. The crying need of Norwich for lo cations for manufacturing plants in a building at which visiting eeekers al ter new locations will not turn up their noses and the futility of attempting to get new industries or expecting them to locate here until this city could match what other cities could offer i-i the way of modern manufacturing buildings formed the chief topic on Monday evening for the March meet ing of the Board of Trade at the Buckingham Memorial. President James L. Macpherson called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o'clock with about 50 members present. Secretary Henry W. Tibbits read his minutes of the previous meet ing, which were accepted. Two New Members. The names of F. L. Newton and J. Harry Shannon were recommended for membership and voted in. McKay Cordage Comoany Coming. Frank J. King reported for the new industries committee that the McKiy Cordage Company of Turnerville would like to change location and that a Norwich man was putting capita! into the concern and that the Board of Trade committee Ifad made an of fer to pay their expenses of moving, amounting to about $150. after the concern has located here and has made good. The expenditure for that purpose Was voted by the committee. Through Train Through Here. Secretary Tibbits read copies of let ters to the railroad company and their reply in the effort made by William A. Norton of the transportation com mittee to get the New Haven company to put on at least one through train between New York and Boston via Norwich, indicating that the company would give the matter consideration. President Macpherson mentioned that main expresses had gone over this line, so that it appeared the road bed could stand the traffic, and he thought a united effort from the cities interested north of here might result in the thing that was tasked for. Endorsing New Haven Road. E. C. Jewett, now of the American Thermos Bottle company, but former ly freight agent here for the New Haven road, offered the following res olution, which was passed: We, the Norwich Board of Trade, deeply deplore the malicious and un warranted attacks that are being made against the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and its most efficient officials by certain interests whose sole aim appears to be to de stroy rather than to build up. There fore, be it Resolved. By this Board of Trade, that we believe the New Tork, New Haven and Hartford railroadj with Its New England lines industry bureau. H by far the greatest of all developing factors for the best business interests of all New England: and be is further Resolved, That wo will do all in our power to put a etop to the unwarrant ed campaign now being waged which so seriously- misrepresents the tru conditions and detards the develop ment of business In Connecticut and elsewhere. Mr. Jewett said that he knew the New Haven road was planning exten -sion of Norwich freight facilities and the putting on of more freight trains in this division. Norwich might get this extension of freight yard facilities and if it should It would mean much for the city. , Frank J. King seconded the motion and President Macpherson spoW strongly in favor if it, saying that the New England industrials bureau had brought into New England industries valued at over $2,500,000, and this all meant prosperity and better conditions for this territory. A motion offered by Town Clerk r Charles S. Holbrook was passed de claring that it was the sense of this meeting that in consideration of the fact that this through train would be of great convenience to this and other towns in this vicinity, that the trans portation committee use all their Influ ence to have this through train put on. It was suggested alos that the sec retary get into communication on the subject with the towns north of here. Business Men's Lunches. President Macpherson gave out some words of advice against knocking, and brought up the subject of the business men's lunches at the Wauregan house, which are to be a feature of the board of trade this year. The next Is to be next Monday. The president announced that the next meeting of the board of trade would take up the matter of highways, and he had already Invited the new state highway commissioner for the April meeting. Dairy and Pomotogical Institute. For the advertising committee John Mi. Lee reported that the committee had been considering a possible two day institute to be held here on April 2 and 8 by the State Dairymen and Pomologlcal society for a joint, gather ing which would bring 200 to 300 men here. They ask for a hall to be sup plied for the Institute and also that a banquet be arranged. The whtle would be at small expense to the board of trade. The matter had been brought to the committee's attention by G. Warren Davis. President Macpherson gave the addi tional information that rentals for space for exhibitors, if the corridors of the town hall could be secured, would largely make up the expenses. The Pomologlcal society Includes fruit growers, peultrymen and seedmen. Chairman Lee said that ho had heard from the presidents of both or ganizations that they would be glad to come here, if invited. The vete to invite the Institute here was unanimously passed. An Industrial Building. : An Industrial Building, the special topic for the meeting, was introduced by President Macphereon and Chair man Kinv of the new industries com mittee. Both said that Norwich was behindhand in the buildings it could offer for the new manufacturing plants desiring to loeate here, Factory build-: Ings, like the Norwich Nickel and Brass Co., were what is wanted. At Mr. King's suggestion, a motion was offered to see if the cit could not deed to the beard of trade a plot 256x360 feet on the so-called dump for the purpose of creating an indus trial building. Fire Chief Howard L. Stantea raised the point that we already had an in dustrial building company here which has room for two more buildings on land on the dump granted to it by the city, He said he believed the com pany was given the land with the understanding that they were to erect four biiildiags. So far they have only erected tw, he said, but hovu smiw smaller structures n fiurt u( the laud. General Hill Speaks. 6Ua.t'l WiliiaM V, HiU ai hersng fame was called for liia opinion, on the subject of an lndusuiai build ing. - Referring Te some of his exper iences before ti Thwnias campaign, Mr. Hill read the following, for which he was applauded: Mr. President and Gentlemen: It is hardfy necessary for rue to state my poeitiea in regard to as inaustxial building for Norwich, for I believe I made myself pretty well understood over a year ago on that subject. But it will do no harm to Just say at this time that I do not believe it is possible for us to make satisfactory progress . unless we have industrial buildings ready to move into. Over a year ago, before Thermos was thought of, I tried my best to secure from the New York, New Haben and Hartford railroad. 100 feet in width extending the whole length of their land known as the New Dock, agree ing to raise the money to build indus trial buildings. It was on one of those visits to Boston that Mr. Seeley first put us wise to Thermos. I induced Mr. Seeley- to come to Norwich and look at the site, and he admitted it was the finest in New England and he tried to secure It for us, but his greatest opposition . comes from the necessity of the company needing, larger freight house and yard in the near future. But t oeiieve they could well spare 100 feet of its width and still have enough for all needs of the railroad, and I should like to see our strongest men call on Mr. Mellen and just show him what an immense income would go to the railroad, if such a building as that was erected there. it must be painfully evident to the men who have worked so hard on our industrial committees that we are sadly short of good sites for indus trial buildings and .1 would suggest a siogan that we adopt at once and it is "We must have our water front for our manufacturers." We like a beau tiful city to live in, but we don't care to go broke in it, so let's have bus iness. : , ; if we will put up industrial build ings to rent and sell to manufacturers I will pledge you my word we won't nave to ofwr any other inducements to get new industries here, fo our won- aerrul facilities will do the rest. Gentlemen, I have given up most of the last year and a half trying to get new industries, but I firmly believe if we dropped the whole business and just went to work on the new indus trial building, that we would get along very much taster in the end. We should do both, but if we must neglect eirner, aont let it be the building. I would suggest that a powerful In dustrial committee taken from the Business Men's association, bodrd of trade, and any other organizations or individual take up this industrial building matter. But, gentlemen, we must have our buildings on the water so that in the industrial fight our 'manufacturers will have the best we can give, and that helps them in competition. What a wonderful ad. we can gibe to the world when we advertise our industrial buildings, situated on tide water, two trunk line railroads, 13 miles from the Sound, cheap water, cheap gas, cheap electric power, a healthy city with suburban trolleys running in all directions, free from labor troubles with a number of sum mer excursion boats so that our work ing peonle can find pleasure as well as health. j; Who says w can t fill an industrial building? Well, I will guarantee to fill one as large as you will build, and I don't care if you have to move New London to build it. For there ar.e thousands of manufacturers who are seeking new locations and when they move they want the. .best, and wc have the best. , Mr. President and gentlemen, it is now time to work and let tonight be a rousing starter and we will shortly have a city that will take its place in the manufacturing world where na ture int-ended it should. : Past President Haviland also spoke earnestly in favor of the new indus trial building, saying that he thought there would be 100 or 200 men who would put up $100 shares for build ing which would pay suitable interest to its stockholders. Norwich Industrial Building Co. Chief Stanton said he was not op posing an industrial building, but he brought up his point to ask if the Norwich "Industrial Building company had been asked or been given a chance to build another building. Frank H. Smith explained some of the points about the Norwich Indus trial Building company, which secured land from the city in 1891. on the con dition that if in 20 years they had not erected four buildings specified the land should revert to the city. Mr. Smith said he did not wish to antag onize the company, but he thought they could be shown it was a good business proposition to erect another building now. President Macpherson further ex plained that the Norwich Industrial Building company had issued $25,000 in bonds on their first building, $20,000 in bonds on the second building, and still had the right to issue $40,000 more bonds. He said he had been In con ference with the mayor, and the may or was to confer with the corporation counsel as to whether some small buildings erected by the Norwich In dustrial Building company had fulfilled; the conditions of the deeds underj which they held the property. ' Fanning Property at Harvey Lane, j John E. Fanning showed a plan of I property on the corner of Harvey lane and Franklin street as a site for a small manufacturing plant, and called attention to ,its advantageous location. Committee on Industrial Building. Frank J. King withdrew his previous Suggestion and moved ,that a commit tee or five be appointed to handle the matter of industrial building. The president named the following com mittee: William B. Young. Frank H. Smith. George W. Carroll, John Eccles, J. D. Haviland. Thorpes River Drawbridge. " Mr. King spoke upon the acceptance of the Thames river drawbridge ; by the State, as offered by the New Ha' ven road for a highway bridge, and he Offered the motion that the board of trade be represented at the hearing at Hartford and that its sentiment was against accepting the bridge with any string on it. The motion was passed. Suggestion for Advertising Committee. Frank A. Bill read extracts from some of the inviting offers made by other cities to secure new industries, and he handed the literature over to the advertising committee. Thames Street Improvement. . In answer to a question from Frank H. Smith regarding the expense of oLtt jrresiaent j wiaening Thames street. Macpherson answered that there could Thames street, which he designated as the dirtiest and most fiserable street in town and a reproach to the city. Fire Apparatus Has to Stop. He asked an upiniun frtm Chief Stanton, wlit replied by saying that he Ilrkw uf nuthing that would im prove Nurwich more than the widen ing of Thames street. At the present time the fire apparatus has to come to a full st wp when meeting' a ti alley caf opposite the Rugers-shop. Altrenative Routes' Suggested. Mr. King called attention to the fact that the city was not left only to Thames street if any big obstacles, such as an exorbitant valuation nt p'$- erty . should arise. The way around from Trading Covo and past the Fair Grounds to West Main street at the Backus corners could be devo'.oped, or the effort centered on the roa3 on the east side of the river to Grotcn as an other way of entrance to the city for travelers from the south. Others spoke along the same line, and Presdent Macpiieraon said that he would be In favor of making an im provement here that, would - last for all time, and if the property owners along this street could not see that the widening of the street would enhance the value of their old property and thus be a cause for reasonable valua tions, he would be in favor of dropping the plan and taking up the road on the east side of the river to Groton. On Montville Telephone Exchange. F. W. Cary, who had arrived late, re ported for a special committee ap pointed to consider the matter of the new Montville telephone exchange. He said that the committee had been in consultation with. General Manager Knight of the Telephone company and hart learned from him that on account of the strong oppostion that had devel oped in Montville against the institu tion of the exchange, although there was also strong sentiment for it, the Telephone company had decided not to do anything about the exchange just now. But it had the new switchboard ordered and would hold it in reserve, expecting that it would come into use at some future time when the opposi tion to the exchange was not so strong. Mr. Cary explained that when the ex change was put in telephone subscrib ers in the Norwich exchange would be able to make Montville calls without calling for "toll line." Mr. Cary was thanked for the re port by the president. Buffet Lunch. The meeting then adjourned for :i social half hour, in which a buffet lunch was served by the Wauragan house. The tasty menu consisted of golden consomme in cups, chicken croquets, bechamel, bread and butter sandwiches, chocolate eclairs and cof fee. Chairman A; S. Spalding of the entertainment committee was in charge of this part of the evening. LONG WAITS AT THAMES RIVER BRIDGES Pretests of Masters and Pilots Receive Attention from Railroad. Long waits for the draws of the two bridges of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. will be avoided if the promised remedies by the company work as intended. Eureka harbor, No. 8, Masters' Mates' and Pilots' Protective association, pro tested to the public utilities commis sion against the tardiness with which the Thames river bridge and the Shaw's cove bridge were -opened in response to steamers' whistles. It was suggested to the railroad company by the commission that prompt remedies be ayplied and today the committee of the association was notified of its Intent to do so. Eureka harbor took up the matter directly after steamer Tasco w&s held up for tbout 45 minutes at Thames river bridge. This delay happened during the fire aboard tug Gertrude at Riverside shipyard. The Tasco was called by wireless from Seotts' and as she was entering the harbor crowded on full steam. Long before tne steamer reached the required dis tance from the bridge she signalled for it to open. It was alleged that the draw not only did not open but that the whistle on the bridge did not respond. The inference was that there was not enough steam up on the boil ers to blow the whistle and that as soon as the whistle sounded the draw began to operate. Regarding the Shaw's cove bridge the protest related that tugs, yachts and smaller boats were delayed for long periods. Capt. Frank Johnson and Capt. S. M. Marsters, the com mittee from Eureka harbor, ointed out that the bridge tender was a crip ple who was not able to get about rapidly and besides had to fill lamps and do work at remote parts of the Fort Neck freight yard. They believed they said that he was performing his duty to the best of his ability but that he had too much - to do. The railroad company has agreed to station an operator at the Thames river bridge and to relieve the tele graph operator of the responsibility for opening and closing the draw. Be tween May and October the company will assign a man to the Shaw's cove bridge, who will attend solely to the operation of the electric motors by which the bridge Is opened and closed. A bell will also be provided by which the bridge tender may answer signals and signal steamers when it Is im possible' to open the bridge on the ap proach of a train.
