HARTFORD. March il.-——The Comley
liridgcport Judgeship was the main
otiestlon before the general assembly
last week, and it managed to stir up
lliu most serious. if not sensational,
tight over a court Judge's election in
the recent history of the Connecticut
legislature. Charges of various kinds
were buried back and forth between
the contesting parties early in the tight
and some very bitter things were said
_ . by the leaders In the debate in both
" houses.
Prices range from 25c to $25.00 each, Last week. it will be remembered.
the House rccommitted the report ap-
pointing Judge Comiey to committee.
'l‘uesday of this week the Republican
leaders in the Senate took up the mat-
ter and rushed the election through, in
spite of strong opposition from the
Democratic senators. This sent the
matter back to the house on Wednes-
day and after a prolonged and bitter
debate. in which the Democratic oppo
sitlou was stint off by the previous
question. the election was confirmed.
.ludge Banks, of Fairfleld. the leader of
the Republican side of the house, did
not rotnain in his seat during the tie
bnto. and so did not vote. Rt first R
question which Democratic opposition
attempted to make a non-partisan of-
fair, it became at the final vote. a

in that branch, and concurring with the
House in referring the measure to the
judiciary committee. The expected
tight in the legislature over this mat~
tor will therefore come before the in-
diciary instead of the railroad commit-

In spite of the favorable action of the
House this week in passing a bill ex-
tending tholate date for the election
of a representative from any town from
the 1st of February to the 1st of April.
in order that Bethlehem can seat a
new representative in place of Mr.
Hayes, deceased. it is not at all can
lain that this step will be taken. Sen.
ator Walsh held It on in the upper
house on Thursday. claiming that it
was altogether too general a provision
to pass without, investigation. and it is
expected that when it comes up for
. final action there will be some discus-
sion in the Senate.
The committee hearings are being
urged along rapidly now by the var-
ious chairmen. with the end in view to
bring the session to a close by the mid
die of May. Something like a third at
the measures before this legislature
have now been disposed of. and. unless
the general railroad bill and the repre‘
sentation matter take I. great deal of
time. the outlook is for an unusually
t'lii‘ly adjournment.
The legislature will this cominc
week get down to 10:30 session. a mo-
tion to that effect having passed on
Thursday. Tuesday. as usual, the ass
slons will open at. 12:30.

‘ Oiiicials Are Willing to
The situation rcgnrding the attitude
who are threatening to strike it their
demands are not acceded to remained
unchanged yesterday. no new features
having developed in the case. Th0
railroad authorities express a willing-
ness to [real with n conunittco of any
branch of its employees but decline
to meet it joint committee representing
tiili‘ercnt branches or an outside com-
tuittee.
President .Iohn M. Ilnil. of the Corr
solitlntcd itniiroatl company into Sut-
ttrtiny afternoon sent a letter to Third
Vice Grand Master Val. Fitzpatrick ol‘
the lirollu-rhtmd of 'I‘r‘lumun, and to
Second Senior Conductor W. (’3. Wil-
kins of the Order of Railroad (‘oudutw
tors who are in New llaven, stating in
substance that the road will not rcct-dt-
from tho position that it has taken with
reference to the reception of a joint
committee to discuss the proposed new
wntzc and time schedule recently sub-
mitted by the trainlncn and‘ conduc-
tors. ' .» -
“ The conclusion which the head DI the
road has arrived at was reached after
an all~tluy conference Saturday with
Vice President Merrill. (letternl Supt-In
intentlcnt (3. Peter Clark of the eastern
district and General Superintendent C.
II. Plait. oi the western district, and
other high officials of tho‘system. This
confcnmco was held at the general of:
lien building of the railroad in New
l'lavcu.
it is stated that this labor movement.
of the railroad employees takes in
about tit) per cent. of the conductors
and trainmen of the company. the re-
maining large body of employees being
loyal and pacific.
Judge Hall said yesterday that the
road could not recedc from the position
it has always maintained. anti break a
rule that it had always upheld. This
was as above stated. that while it
was at all times ready to treat with a
committee of any one class of its em-
ployees it could not. meet a Joint com~
mittcc of such. as for instance. of the
tralunwn and conductors. Nor could
it receive a committee which included
outside members of the organization.
like the general officers now in the
<ity. as was requested in the loin-r oi
Messrs. Fitzpatrick and Wilkins rc-
ceivt‘d by him Saturday morning. The
road. he said. would treat with its cm-
ployees. but could not treat with out»
sitters. This was its original posi-
tint] and was-still maintained.
When asked if he would give out a
copy of the letter sent tonne outside
oiticcrs of the organisation. .ludae Hall
said that the whole :cprrespmnlence
would be made public this week.
Messrs. Fitzpatrick _ and Wilkins
when seen at their quarters at the Ho
tel Grade said that they could not in
fairness make public the letter sent by
President Hull. and would not be able
to do so until after it had been submit-
ted to the grievance committee of the
railroad employees which will resume
its sessions have in the insurance bull-
ding today. Many of t e‘tncmber's of
the. committee wenthomc Saturday
night to spend the Sabbath. Mr. Fit:-
natrick refused to say anything touch-
ing on the matter. stating that he
would not be in a position to talk until
after the meeting-today.
