when he fell from his bicycle in front
of an automobile. Witnesses state
that hold the automobile not been un-

.He attempted to turn directly. in

on the wet trolley rail throwing him
directly in the path of the machine.
The autoist put on all the brakes and
merely pushed the boy a few feet be-
for stopping. Witnesses state that. it
was entirely the. boy's fault.
The auto owner is not known and
information about the affair is dlfll‘

be C 6501. which is listed in the 1011
book as belonging to Charles A Mona-

stated this morning however that the
man's face appeared familiar to him.
The ‘boy's face was badly scraped

DANBURY. June 12.-a~lt is under
stood that there is a chance that there
may be trouble in the hntlndustry
here if a settlement is not made in the
near future between the soft hot. clear!
of the [gas Mclmhlan Hot company
and the officials of the company. One
hundred steers have been out since
last Thursday and it was rumored to-
day that it qnlght be possible that all
the 1.100 employee of the plant might
walk out.
The trouble came through the mak-
l ing of a certain brand of felt hats last
January. The men claimed that they
should receive $1.38 a dozen for sizing
while the company claimed that its
price should be $1.08 a dozen.
The matter was placed before a
board of arbitration and a decision giv-
en in favor of the men. This was
three months ago and the company
have not yet made a settlemhlt on the
8l.38 a dozen basis as they wish to
have a new bill of prices made before
the settlement.
The men it is understood, objected
to this, claiming that if a new bill was
made that the company might want to
make a settleent on that basis and
not on the one the board of arbitra-
tion decided upon.
