ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIA- TION. New Haven County Members Hold An- nual Session at Gaylord Farm. WALlJlNGFORD, May 26.——The an- nual meeting of the New Haven Conn ti Tuberculosis Association, was held t is afternoon at the Gaylord Farm unstorlum, and a large number of , members from New Haven, Waterbury .and other places in the county were in attendance. Prof. Irving Fisher, the secretary. re ferred in his report to the gift by Prof. and Mrs. Beebe, of the memorial to their son, the construction of a house for the medical director, and the secur- ing of an appropriation from the state. Prof. Fisher attributed the increasing interest in the work to the report of the special Connecticut state commis- sion appointed to investigate tubercu- loals, the chairman of which, Dr. Fos- ter, is also chairman of our executive committee; and partly to the success: ful international Congress on tubercu- losis held In Washington. Touching upon statistics, Prof. Fish- er said tuberculosis show; a decline in the state, although New Haven coun- ty's average is about the state aver- recommendation of the state clmmission that there shall be eaten lilhod throughout the state reception homes, will. if carried out by the legis- lature, mark the greatest step forward fat“ made in the fight against tuber-cw it is planned now to establish in New Haven in connection with our as~ ~sociation. and under the direction of ' Dr. Harold 8.

The under- standing locally is to the effect that the efforts to bring about a settlement of the question are continuing un- abated, but that it is not the. policy to aaymuch about the progress. in order that the negotiations may not be unfa- vorably affected. There also seems to be a feeling that the season for fall work, which is right at hand, is bound to bring about a de- velopment. As one man of the trade said this morning, there must be an end to everything, and certainly there will be an end to the present trouble. Hat Note. Locally.

There were two stories today, about as contradictory to each other as they could be. One was that the manufac- tiircis had virtually co li' to an introv- meiit to issue within ih next few days an'otllclal notice fixing a date for the opening of shops on the open shop plan. The other was that the move- ment toward uniting upon the proposi- tion formulated by the Rev. it‘llllli‘l' Kennedy for an adjustment of the tie» tip had received fresh impetus. and that it was likely that there would be definite announcement of action along that line in a few days. There was nothing official today in the way of either confirmation or denial of either story. Officers of the local trade associa- tions said that everything remained unchanged so far as they knew. and that they had no definite information that would throw light upon matters. A meeting of the advisory board is being held in New York today, and I‘. H. Connolley is in attendance. The tloup, now in its fifth month. has already continued twice as long as the great lockout of 1893 did. Today is the one hundredth and thirty-first day. 'l’hcre apparently is no doubt that the present week will pass without ro- ‘sumptlon of operatiousvln the factor- Ics, and how much longer the pros- eiit conditions will continue is purely a matter of conjecture. The conditions in this city are begin- ning to attract more or less outside at- tention, and wherever anything is pub lished about the tieup, there is some- thing laudatory to say about the per- fect quiet and order that prevails here. Strangers who come into the city re- mark in astonishment at the absence of unusual numbers of people from the streets and other outward signs that anything out of the~ordinary is trans- plrlng.
