Thomas B. Brown, chief of police,
delivered John Palidona of Westerly,
as 0 prisoner and deserter to the mili
tary authorities .at Fort Greble Fri
day 1 afternoon, in compliance with . a
warrant issued by the examining
board for Division No. 1. Palidona did
not appear; as ordered, to depart for
Camp Devens, with the Rhode Island
contingent last Wednesday, and had
previously informed the clerk of the
board that if he was wanted before
he was. ready to go someone would
have to come and get him. Clerk
Loomis issued a. warrant for his ar
rest as a deserter and gave the war
rant to Chief Brown for service. Pali
dona, who is a macaroni maker, was
not ready to go when the chief apr
prehended him, but he went, just the
same.
On arrival at Fort Greble, Chief
Brown delivered his prisoner . to the
commanding officer, and received a
receipt for the delivery. It was the
first case of desertion brought to -Fort
Greble under the select service law
and the military authorities were not
cognizant with the mode of procedure.
So, temporarily, Palidona was placed
in the guardhouse and. treated just as
if he had been a deserter from the reg
ular army, instead of from the na
tional army.
Charles B. Coon, superintendent of
Wilcox Park, has increased his force
to gather in the leaves as they' fall in
order to keep the greensward present
able until snow falls. Aside from
grading up to the new walk across
the park. Superintendent Coon has
supervised the .filling in of the small
pond that for years served as a re
ceptacle for the sewage that, entered
the open brook that flowed through
the park. This has been seeded over
and already, is covered with grass.
That open brook is open no. longer. It
has been covered with granite slabe
and over this has been placed a con
siderable lot of earth and loam, and
will be added to the lawn-like appear
ance of the sloping grounds when
summer returns.
The artificial lake has now its
patches of pond lilies, is stocked with
fish, and a large, white swan floats
gracefully on the surface. This swan
was recently presented to the park,
and Superintendent Coon is planning
to secure a mate, and some white Pe-
kin ducks to keep the swan company
and add to the attractiveness and the
beauty of the lake. .

The striking weavers of the Ameri

early in July are still on strike. The
matter in dispute Is not a matter of
Wages o.r working hours, but Just at
the present time has evolutionized to
a demand that every weaver out on
strike be taken back into the employ
of the company. At the - start some
weavers were engaged in what was
termed objectionable work . and the
complained not to the mill manage
ment, but- to fellow weavers who were
engaged in a nacre desirable class of
work. These latter complained to the
management and were practically in

the -management recognize -a s nop com
mittee to adjust grievances. JThe sup
erintendent said, he could enter, into
no such agreement until advised by the
owner of 'the plant in New -York, and
this could not be done until three or
four days, or perhaps more. This
meet was Monday, July 2, and the men
were asked to await a reply on the
following Friday. The weavers held a
meeting and decided to quit work un
til the question was settled,-and. it is
said, in the meantime they "organized.
The owner of the plant in the mean
time informed the weavers that the
union would not be recognize, that
the mill would remain an open shop
and rather than have unionism prevail
in the plant it would be shut down in
definitely. There has been several conferences,
and the shop committee grievance
plan were adjusted by having the
weavers and representatives of the
mill management on the committee. It
was supposed on the part of the mill
management that all was satisfactory,
but there came another hitch and the
strike is still on.
There were about 140 weavers em
ployed in the mill, and the owner in
formed them that since the strike was
commenced that there had been a mark
ed change in the raw material market,
with attendant increase in prices that
all go into the manufacture of the
goods, and that the mill could be op
erated satisfactorily, with 80 weavers,
but that he would give employment to
110, and with preference to the weav
ers resident of Stonington. It was -a
case of all or none with the weavers,
based on the belief that the men who
defended the weaver body and repre
sented their interests In the contro
versy were the on .s selected to walk
the plank. So the strike . that was
so near settlement has another set
back. ' Since the start of the strike to
the present time upwards of $250 000
in wages has been lost to the weav
ers and a good portion of it by the
merchants of Stonington. It has been
suggested that an effort be made to
arbitrate through a disinterested com
value to the town to remain even par
tially idle. When working to capaci
ty more than 500 are employed.
Home Guarders at Stoneridgs.
The battalion of the Third Regiment,
Connecticut Home Guard, commanded
by Major Charles P. Williams, of
Stonington and comprised of two
companies from Mystic and one each
from ' Stonington and Pawcatuck, en
joyed its second field day , at Stone
ridge, Major Williams' estate, Sunday.
They were the guests of Major Will
lams, who entertained them with a
pig roast, in the intermission between
the battalion drill and parade. This
battalion is the equal of any in the
regiment, and every member seems
intensely Interested in the endeavor to
make it the crack' battalion of the en
tire brigade. During the summer
months the four companies have giv
en strict attention to the weekly drills,
to outpost duty, guard duty and so on,
and B company, Pawcatuck, spent a
night in North Stonington having a
long hike and the life -of a poklier dur
ing the night. When cold winter
comes the opportunity for weekly
omitted, as the companies have no
drills will be lessened and perhaps
armory for indoor drills.
At the field day at Stoneridfre they
showed marked improvement end pro
ficiency in drill and ceremonial and
the visiting otficers - were favorably
impressed v.'ith the military demon
stration, while Ma.i':r Williams was
really dec-lighted with the evolutions
of his men. '
