WILL SERVE SENTENCE. Orrin .I. Stockfdrd of the Tteamsters’ . Union. “i guess I will go down the line for three months." said Orrin J. Stock- i’ord. formerly state organism of the ’I‘ramsters‘ international linlon in )onnccticut. when asked what he was going to do about the decision of the supreme court in affirming the deci- sion of the lower court in the case of tho lstate against Orrine .l. Stockford, ct u . The decision of the court was pri11t~ ed Saturday. Stockford could not be seen Friday evening, as ho was firing on an engine of the Central New Eng- lutl railroad. Stockford said ytwtcr— day that be had not communicated with either of the three New lluvcn lawyers who Wcrc engaged by the defendants, but he did not think that the case would be carried any higher. He said the case had cost the unions :1 good bit of money as it was. Stocktord was the only ilarti’ord man arrested during the tcamstcrs‘ strike, in New linvon last spring. He had worked for llill Ilrotin-rs and oth— er trucking firms and be had charge of the, strike of truckmcn in Hartford two years ago. This strike failed. Stocki‘ord said he believed the truck— Iucn in Hartford were justiilcd In their demands, but they struck at the wrong time. There had been several strikes in other branches of work and there were a good many mcn out. of employment. After the strike in Hartford. Stock- i'ord became state organizer of the un- ion. llc formed a union of trucknicn in Winsted, South NUI walk and other places. At the time of the trouble in New Haven he Went there to see what he could do. He said the conditions in New lluven were very bad. The men got from $8 to $10 a Week and they were obliged to work a good many extra hours without compensa— tion. lie said he wont there to sec if he could effect a Settlement hctwctcn the teamstcrs and their employers. and he was able to hold the inch 00' from the strike for two wr-cks, Stockford said that a committee consisting of Colonel N. G. Osborn, oi‘ the ”New Haven itt‘glsicl‘.” President Kendall. of the National Brewing As- sociation and Mayor Studley tried to arbitrate the tliil't'rcuccs. but the en1~ players would not listen to the com- mittoe. The men wanted an advance of $2 a week and a day of ten hours and if they could have got these conces- sions they would not have insisted on the employers hirinr.r only union 111011. The hackmcn struck first and thcy were foliowcd by the tcamstcrs. There were 1,100 men out at one timc. The strike failed and twenty-one nicn Were arrested for conspiracy It was cluiuud that the strikers used threats and tried to intimidate thc bosses. The men were bound over to the superior court and when the cases: came up before Judge Shumwny and a jury in the superior court in Janu- ary, but nine men were tried. It was understood that the cases against the ohers would be nullcd. The nine men were. Stockford, us tbc state organizer, the officers of the union and some of the members of the committees. The jury found each man guilty and the court sentenced each in thrcc months in jail. The case was appcaled to the su— preme court on the ground that the court erred in charging the jury. The The pris- oners were originally placed under bonds of $1,000 each. When the men were bound over the bonds were re~ duced to $300, and after the sentences the bonds were raised to $500. Stock- ford said his bond was furnished by a stranger, who spoke to him in the court room, and asked him it he would like to have u bondsman. Stet-kiord ladly accepted the offer. He does ot know the name of the man who befriended him. Stockt'ord said he. did not think that the decision of the court was just and if it was law he did not have much use for the law. He. said he went to New Haven as an arbitrator more than anything else and he certainly did not attempt to intimidate anyone. E. l’. Arvine, of New Haven, made. the prin- clpal argument for the defendants and Lawyers Maher and Sullivan, of New Haven. were associated with him. Stockford said he did not know when he would be called upon to serve his sentence, but he would be ready whenever he was wanted. He is a member of the First Section Machine- Gun Battery, of Hartford and played on the indoor baseball team of the He is married and lives, at No. 53 Walnut street. STUDENTS RAN INTO TROUBLE. CHICAGO, Aug. 18.——Because he wanted to study the strike situation, two Harvard students, William Pas. tor and Blaine Evans, ran- into serious trouble today at 28th street and Ash- land avenue and were nearly killed. They were carrying small packagest that looked like luncheon boxed and therefore were mistaken for strike breakers. A mob gathered and the students tried to board a passing car. "Hurry on there" cried members 'of the crowd, and at full speed the car went forward. A garbage wagon was ‘ struck by the car and upset and the drivers arm was broken. In the ex- citement the students escaped tempo- rarily but were overtaken and beaten by strike pickets. to whom they ex- plained their purpose. They said they did not enjoy their rough experience.
