ting of the union labels. the ordering
out. of which caused the present strike,

days. it was stated that a, number of
the manufacturers in question were

Pullingr‘SeIectmcn and Oyster Com-

Shell Fish Commissioners
llAli'i‘lt‘tlltl), Feb. ill—Several mat-
ters affecting the oyster industry, par-
ticularly from the. viewpoint of the
"natural growther," were. introduced
in the senate, yesterday. One estab-
iishcs a new natural bed, practically
covering the shore of New Haven
county. another provides a penalty for
selectinen and oyster committees that
grant franchises on the natural beds,
methods of buoylng and other regula-
tions are proposed. ,
Several of the measures, introduced
by Senator Courtney, of New iiuven,
by request, were: ' .
"Every person or corporation who
shall place upon or maintain on any
natural oyster. clam or mussel bed or
any part thereof, any buoy, stake or
other marker and shall fall to remove
some within 48 hours after rcqucstcd
to do so by any person interested,
shall be lined not less than Sltlfl and
not. more than $500." ‘
Another bill provided that the stoic

and control over all natural oyster,
claim and mussel beds within the fol-
lowing lilies; Within a line drawn from
the south end of the breakwater at
the mouth of the. liousutonlc river.

diction line to the south side of
Charles island, to Welch's Point. to
Pong Point, to Morwin‘s Point. to ()y-
stcr River Point. to South End Point.
easterly to Old Field Point. and Wes»
tcrly along liighwatcr mark to the
point. of beginning. No one may take
the natural set within the boundaw
res mentioned. it the bill passes, with-
out: a state license. The bill also pro-
vides for the appointment of an iii-
speclor for the new bed, and another
bill provides for the repeal ofthelaw
covering the taking of set in Milford
harbor.
Another bill provides that all stakes,
buoys or other markers placed by any
person, except buoys placed by the
state, so as to mark divisional lines in
part or in whole between any private

clam or mussel beds. in any of the
waters of this state, shall have the
name or initials of'the o‘wne‘r plainly
marked and visible ht high water. it
provides a fine of not less than $10 no/
more than $50 for violation. '
fly a proposed amendment to sec.-
tion 3,232 of the revised statutes, the
sclectmen v and oyster committees of
towns are. placed with the shell fish
commissioners in the prohibition
against issuing franchises on the nat-
ural beds under a penalty of $100 to
$5003 ,
An amendment to section 3,231 is of-
fered which would force the shell fish
commissioners to place buoys betwoen
the corner buoys of natural beds at a.
distance of not less than 600 feet. it
would affect the buoylug of the
Bridgeport, Stanford. ’Fairfleld, Fish
island and Roma Point beds.
Senator, Arnold introduced two
measures affecting the oyster industry.
one an act for the protection of py-
ster sets, fixing the size of mesh in
nets used on oyster dredges, which pro-
vides that no‘dredge now authorised
to be used upon the natural oyster
grounds of this state shall hereafter

The other bill provides that the con-
tracts for the buoylng of the natural
beds shall be let to the lowest bidder.

National President. John Moliitt, of

has given out a reply for the executive
board of the organization, to the re-
cont. stall-uncut of the Associated lint.
Manufacturers in reference to the
present trouble.
This statement of the

Iio other course was open to us. Brief.

and inisrcpresciitalions to the con-
trary uotwitiistnndlng. ‘ .
"About August 1, thus, the Gnycr
Company had culcrcd into a written
contract with our local association in
Boston, fixing the prices for work in
tliclr factory for one year, from Juno
1, liltlb‘. to June 1. liltlil. 'l‘hls ngrcc-
men! was not reached until August, be»
cause of certain questions raised by
tho luycr ,lonipany shortly before
pircd and should have been roncwr-d.
’l‘licsc questiOns rclntcd solely to pri-
ces for work, and were submitted by
the luycr Company and the local as-
sociution of Boston to a board of arbi-
tration constituted as provided for by
the government between the lint inan-
ufactnrcrs and the ifuitcd Matters.
The result of this arbitration was the
'll,li)\'(" bill of prices, to be operative
from Juno 1, Hills, to June i. 1000.
“'l‘lic said written contract. for pri-
ccs, made after long and careful dc-
iiberniion by the board of arbitration.
composed of iillllitlfht‘itil‘l-‘l‘s on the one
side and journcylncn on the other. was
accepted by the (layer Company and
our Boston local association, and it
thereupon became a binding agree-
ment, which theGuycr Conniauy and
the local batters were morally and le-
gully required to keep and pcrl‘oi‘iil. ac-
cording to its terms, until it expired
on June l. 1909. Neither party had any
right to alter or terminate that. con-
tract before that time without the con.
sent of the other.
”this was the situation of affairs on
the 22nd, day of December. 1908, when
the Gnyer Company sent the five or six
journeyman from their little place in
Catherine street, Philadelphia. to their
new‘factory in Snyder avenue. after
they had obtained from these men a
lower scale of prices for their little
branch shop than they had agreed to
pay by the terms of their contract
made in Boston, thus intending to get
this big factory started by these five
or six men on a scale of prices much
less than they were bound to pay llll-
dcr their existing contract. This ac-
tion shows the. deliberate purpose of
the Gnyer Company to violate. the con-
tract they had made for the current
year, and this fully appears from the
facts herein set forth. '
"it is manifest that the Guycr Coin~
pony never intended to operate their
new Philadelphia plant with the fFve
or six men they had sent there from
their Catherine street place, and if that
was not their intention ltnecessarlly
followed that they were guilty of mls.
representation and deception for which
no justification or excuse can be
found.

Citizens Will Have Opportunity to
\ole on Project
I
I" Judge. John H, Light, who drew up
the bill giving the. city the right to
condemn property for public parks
and municipal buildings, and to issue.
bonds to pay for the same. gave out
an interesting interview this morning
on the motive of the citizen's commit ‘
tee in taking its present course with
reference to the project to erect a. new
city hall. , ,
The bill was introduced in the state
legislature til. Hartford, yesterday. and
according to present plans the citi-
zens, in city meeting, will have an op
portunity to go Into the whole. subject.
Judge Light said this morning, in
reference to the bill: , .
“Yes, the bill was intrmiuccdat my
request. I am chairman of the legis-
lntivc and finance committee, and after
a conference with the chairman of the
general ('lilillillilcc, Thomas i. Ray-
mond, we decided that in view of the
fact that the time limit for the intro-
duction of‘new business in the legis-
lnturc expired yesterday. it. would be
wise to bare the measure introduced
and permit the council and tho citi-
zens generally to Bill“ further action
in the premises, in case thcy'shonld
desire to do so.
"The committee of fifty is made up
of our representative citizens and
their unanimous action should be con-
sidered as a fair expression of public
opinion and treated accordingly, until
the contrary appears. it isn‘t the in-
tention of the committee. however, to
force any public improvement. on the
citizens by means of legislation. or
otherwise. They do desire. though. by
means of the. resolution introduced in
the. legislature. to give the citizens
an opportunity to build a city hall if
on careful consideration they may
deem it advisable to do so. The res-
olution in question limits the sum
which may be expended for city build
lugs and parks to $200,000. This does
not mean that the city must expend
that much: it may expend any Iosscr
slim, but there is no reason why the
city should not be permitted to c»
pend a large sniu if thought desirable.
"It is quite obvious that without the
proposed legislation, the city cannot
build a city hall or a public library
undcss it should lay a tax sufficient
to pay for the some at once. and of
course no one would recommend such
ction.
"lint. imlcpcudcut of thc city hall.
e. legislation will be necessary to
iablc the city to take advantage of
Mr. (‘arncgic‘s gift for a public li-
brary. and. thcrcl'ol‘c. lhc resolution
introduced in the legislature. in its
present form. or in some modified
form. should lu,-‘passcd,
"Sonic of our citizens seem to be.
licvc that. nothing can be done with-
out the authority of the city council,
but i think this is a mistaken idea.
The council has no more authority
than so many other citizens to salt
the legislature for legislation on behalf
of the city. lg. is, after all. for the
people themselves. in a proper meet-
ing. called for that purpose. or at the
polls, to say what. changes. if any, they
desire to have made in the city chur-
ter or in the law governing their
own actions. We believe that our
people want. a new city hall and s
Carnegie library, but we are not pre-
pared to say just. how much they want
to pay for the same. We believe that
present conditions are disgraceful and
tend to retard our normal growth and
prosperity. .
“Some people seem to feel that it
is the greatest. duty of public officials
to save money. but they should to
member that a wise expenditure is
often the greatest economy. One 'of
the greatest blessings of government
is the power and ability to purchase
and enjoy collectively advantages be-
yond the power and means of the in-
dividual. Nature has done a great
deal for South Norwalk. and it is
about'tlme that We should do some-
thing for ourselves."

ller attorneys. Keogh and Candce.
have filed notice of an appeal to the
Supreme court.
it was claimed by the plaintiff that
in April, last. year, she alighted from a
trolley car in North Main street, near
Edward W. Kelley, Jr.’s drug store,
and as she turned to go to the side-
walk she fell over. the rear fender of
the. car. which was down, disiocatlng
her shoulder and causing other Injur-
ies. '
it was brought out that it had been
held in Massachusetts. in view of no

company could not be held negligent
for falling to keep a rear fender up.

Another local suit for deniages
against the Connecticut Company has
been brought. by Albert A, Arnold, of

He states in his bill of complaint
that on January 6th of last year, while
he was employed in East avenue on a.
work car he was badly injured by being
thrown from the t0p of the car on ac-
count of a wire slipping from an in-
secure “sleeve," which would not have
occurred but for the said sleeve having
been neglected. The. plaintiff received
a broken wrist, an injured shoulder
and various bruises. The case is to

to be held a week from last. night.
A condition that was attached to
the donations from the residents will,
however, have to be. overcome before
the. money collected can be used for
hand extinguishers. The sum of $194.50
has been contributed toward a chem-
ical engine. and on theirrcccipt; it.
states that if the engine is not bought
their money will be refunded to them.
In view of this. at the coming meet-
ing the donutors will be asked it‘ the
committee may be allowed to use the
money for extinguishers instead of an
engine. _ .
The. members of the committee are
in favor of the cXtinguishcrs. and one
was interviewed today he stated that
with fifteen or twenty of them scat-
tered about. the houses in the. neigh-
borhood. they could be used: more
quickly and effectively than a large
machine. '
Enthusiasm over the project is as
high as when it was first brought up.
