PIttsfleld, Mass., May 23.— When 

 President Charles S. Mellen of the New 

 Haven road went out for his morning 

 walk in his gardens at Council Grove, 

 Stockbridge, today he discovered that 

 the men employed under William Don- 

 aldson in the gardens were working 

 only nine hours and getting $1.75 a 

 day. Mr. Mellen protested against 

 these hours, saying he had supposed 

 they were working ten hours for that 

 pay. 



The result was that Mr. Mellen told 

 Mr. Donaldson to quit at once, and 

 likewise the others. Working under 

 Gardener Donaldson were ten men. 

 The men claim that they have been 

 working for the past three years nine 

 hours a day and they say that Mr. 

 Mellen was apparently perfectly satis- 

 fied. They are looking for other jobs, 

 and Mr. Mellen Is looking for a new 

 foreman. — Boston Journal.
