Joseph Lyons, chief wireman in the
East Norwalk Electric Plant, was bad-
ly shocked and burned yesterday at 4
o’clock. Mr. Lyons was engaged in
straightening and repairing the wires
on the telegraph pole in front of .\:.
iii. Dunne's hardware store, when his
pliers‘came in contact with the 550
and 11th volt wires, thus forming a
short circuit. which severely burned
him about the waist.

The commissioners had entered into
an agreement with the Connecticut
Kiompany by which Connecticut Com-
pany and plant use the same poles
for their wires, thus doing away with
one set of pdles. The wiremen were
engaged in the work of changing the
'wires from one pole to another. and
also over straightening the when
when the accident happened. Mr.
Lyons had shut off the circuit which
connects the stores on East Washing:
‘ton street with the plant's wires. When
he went‘ to remove tbowiros. how-
ever. his steel pliers which he carried
from his leather belt. cams in‘contaot
twith the 550 volt wire belonging ’.u
the Connecticut Company and with
the, 1100 volt wire owned by the plant.
rl‘lao high voltage of juice burned
through his thick belt and his cloth-
ing. severely burning his body. He
descended from the pole. and walked
' to the office of Dr. R. iii. Perdue, where

he collapsed. After giving the suffer-

ing man treatment. Dr. Perdue remov~
. aid blmtc the hospital in his automo-
bile.

Dr. ‘Perdue said that Mr. Lyons was
lucky to have escaped with his life.
and that it was the leather belt that
had saved him. “The burn." he said.
“was what is known as a third degree

_ burn. that ls,'the electricity had pane
trated through the skin, tissue, and
burned the muscle."

At the hospital it was said this
morning, that Mr. Lyons had spent
a comfortable night. and was resting
easily. He will not, however. be
around for some time to come. All
expenses in the case according to. the
Employer's Liability Act are covered
‘by insurance.

Dr. John Torrington Black, secre-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—After the
committee of railroad managers had
another conference with President
Wilson today, it became known that
a proposal was under consideration
by which the railroads would accept
the principle of an elghthour day and
leave the. working out of its applica-
tion to the interstate Commerce Com.
mission or some body formed for the
purpose.

Whether this plan can be worked
out will not be known until President
Wilson presents it to the brotherhood
leaders.

The railroads are understood to be
ready to concede the principle of the
eight-hour day providing concessions
be made by the employer so too heavy
a burden will not be placed upon the
railroads. .
