, WORK OF HATTERS CONVENTION.
National Death Benefit Fund is Es-
tablished.
The convention of the batters of
North America which came to a close
last week in New York. proved one
of the most Important that the organ-
Ization has ever held. and a resume of
the work done shows many important
steps taken.
Probably the most important. which
is of Interest to all workiugiuen, is
that the organization has placed itself
on record as favoring; a common union
label for all union made gods.
Under present conditions there are
eighty-two different labels of different
union organizations, and the result is
.that there are many times confusions
resultant from that stale of affairs.
The common label would obviate most
of the difficulties at, present attending
the use of the union label.
Another important action taken by
the convention was the establishment
of a national death benefit and mori-
uary fund. Hereafter. instead of each
local maintaining separate funds. the
claims will be paid out of the common
fund.
. A member of the trade who has ser-
ved five years is entitled to $100 at
death, and an increase of $10 is made.
for each additional year he serves IIII-
til the amount. reaches $300.
The hours of work of the batters rt»
mains the same, a nine hour day for
five days In the week and a five liour
Saturday making 50 hours per week.
The old board of officers was re-elcc-
ted and their salaries fixed at $1.600
per annum, with eat-fare to and from
their homes.
The convention is pronounced by
Deputy Sheriff Sculley who was one of
the delegates to have been the most
successful in the history of the organ-
Ipatlon.

HANSON. MASS. SUMMER
RESIDENCE BURNED
Household of Albert C. Burrage,
Consisting of Twelve Per-
sons, Had a Narrow Escape
HANSON, Mass, May 27.—-'l‘he sum»
mer residence of Albert V. Barrage. of
liosiou. the well known financier and
copper mine owner. was burned to
the ground today. Mr. and Mrs. Ilur»
rage. their four ehlltlrtn. Mrs. Iiur~
i‘age‘s sister. Miss Haskell and six
servants managed to escape from the
burning building with what clothing
they could lay their hands on. The lOSH _
is estimated at upwards of $75,000.
To the heroism and presence of
mind of Mlss.Sally Haskell. sister of
Mrs. Barrage, is attributed the safety
of the twelve persons who were at The
Needles, as Mr. Burragc's residence
was called. The fire. apparently caus-
ed by an overheated furnace, broke
out when all the household were in
bed. Miss Haskell. awakened by
smoke and the cracking of flames,
found the rooms and halls filled with
smoke. but she groped her way
through the mansion and awakened
every one In it. All escaped and no
one was injured. but the only things
saved Were such scanty clothing as
each could snatch in their hurried dc—
pal'lili‘t‘.
The house was a two story stone
structure and was valued at $25.000. it
stood about two miles front the center
of the village and was richly furnish-
ed. The furnishings were estimated
to be worth more than $25,000. and ten
trunks filled with, expensive clothing
that Mrs. llurrage had just brought
back from Europe also were, destroyed.
The. family had been at The Needles
for only eight days.
The town has no fire fighting appart
ins and it. was impossible to check the
fire. that was raging through the man-
sion almost before it was discovered.
The stable and garage were saved by
neighbors who formed bucket brigades

BRIDGE AT LYHE
Governor and Legislators on
Inspection Tour Want to Save
Structure
The Idea of using the railroad
br dge at the mouth of the Comioctb
eu river tor a highway bridge still
seems a good one to the governor
and members of the legislature who
visited the locality Friday and tamil.
iarized themselves with the situation.
As a result of the trip the commie
ice on roads, bridges and rivers. to
which the matter has been referred.
will have a session this afternoon and
take steps to ascertain. through a
competent engineer. the probable cost
of making over the bridge Into shape
suitable for highway purposes. The
general sentiment of the legislators
at the locality was that the oppor-
tunity was not to be lightly tl.‘
garded.
A majority of the members of the
committee on roads. bridges and riv~
crs met in New Haven in the. morn-
ing. Governor Woodrufi’ meeting them
with auttmiobllcs and giving them a
pleasant whirl. Then they took an
aceonuutxlation train to Lyme, view"
lug the new railroad bridge as they
crossed the river on the old one. At
Lyme station Representative Caulkins
of Old Lyme. member of the commit-
tee and selectman as well. joined
them. and the whole party had dinner
at the Old Lyme lnii.
Landing on the west side of the.
river the whole party Went on to the
bridge and crossed it Back to the east
side. On the way they examined the
condition of the flooring.’ and timbers.
dodged a train or two, measured the
extreme width that could be avail-
ble for vehicles, speculated as to what
would happen if a trolley line was on
the bridge or if two hay carts tried
to navigate it in opposite directions
simultaneously, saw where a new pier
would have to b'e built and where an
old span would have to be moved
and, in general, teamed all they could
in the time at their disposal.
