T0 GUARD PAPER.
PLANT TODAY
Strikers Claim Murphy Will
N at Arbitrate -- To Take
Matter Up With World.
Fearing an outbreak of trouble,
members of the Norwalk Police de- '
partment were detailed tOday to
guard the St. George Paper Mill in'
Smith street. the employee of which
lite on strike. This development in
the strike situation follows a. refusal
of Charles A. Min-phi. assistant nonn-
ager of the plant. to accede to the
request of a representative of the
strikers for an interview in hope of
eflecting a compromise.
“Murphy has taken such an auto-
cratic stand that there is nothing we
can do except to, go over his head
and take up matters with the New
York World. owners of the. plant."
declared aMtthew J. Burns. secretary
of the International Brotherhood of
Papermnkers. ”The New York World
has always been fai rin its attitude
toward labor. This strike arose.
more or less from s. misunderstand-
ing as I» understand it. I feel that.
we can easily lron'out the trouble so
that the men can return to work in
the near future."
Burns. whose headquarters is in
Albany. N. Y.. spent the week-end in
Norwalk reviewing the strike situa-
tion. At a. mass me held yes-
terday morning in ‘ Hall and
which was attended y twenty of the
forty-five strikers. i was decided to
attempt to arrange a meeting with
Manager Murphy at which the strike
situation could be talked over. Burns
declared that he had gotten Murphy
on the telephone and that the latter
had refused an interview.
“There was no real reason for the
strike." said Mr. Burns. "The plant
enployes asked Mr. Murphy when
the new wage schedule for 1928-
1024 would go into effect and were
unable to obtain a satisfactory s an-
swer. As the result. thmmployes Bot
hot-headed and walked .3 out. . Inas-
they were .unablq to get together and
agree on a compromise. settlement
of the strike is simply.)- probleu of
adjustment of wages and I feel sure
the. libs matter can be easily ar-
ranged with the New York World."
.Pstrick J. Cannon .of s North
avenue. one of the striking employee.
disclosed today what the actual de-
mands made by the strikers are. Cau-
non said that the strikers were ask-
ing for a maximum general increase
of 12 per cent. in the wage scale.

noon by John W. Davis. former am-
bassador to Great Britain and senior
counsel for the exchange. when bear-
ings are resumed on the government

strain trading in sugar futures unless
backed by actual ownership or con-
trol of the commodity. The govern-
ment‘will answer Kr. Davis’ argu-
ments before decision is made by the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. ‘

BOY BLEEDS FOR
WEEKS-DEAD
13-year-old Stephen Hornick. son
of Mr. and Mrs. James Hornick, of
Sound View avenue. died at the Nor-
walk hospital yesterday. following
his confinement there for the past five
weeks. during which time he has suf-
fered from s hemmorhage of the
nose, which physicians were power-
less to check. The boy was suffering
from hemopbella. and was what was
known in medical circles
"bleeder."
The boy was first seised with nose-
bleed at his home and physicians
were called to attend him. The
bleeding could not be checked and
he was finally removed'to the hospi-
tal where he received tF‘eatment. The
bleeding was not as profuse as at
first. but was constant. and this drain-
ed the lad's vitality until death came
yesterday.
Besides his parents. the boy is sur-
vived by several brothers and sisters.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning at 0:00 o'clock from St. La-
dillus' R. C. church. Interment will
be in St. Mary's cemetery.
So far as could be ascertained the
bleeding started some five weeks
ago following an attack of gripe,
Hornlck had an ulcer in his one

There were three pool tables in the
