Litigation grows with prosperity
and it is certain that the entry of new
cases in the Superior Court. for the
first Tuesday in September will break
all previous records. One year ago
the total of writs returned to the
first Tuesday in September was 157.

Already this figure has been ex-
ceeded by three and the total to 160
with the back counties to hear from.
At this date a year ago 124 were re-
turned. If as many more come in
during the next few days it in ex-
pected that the total will not be far
from ‘200.

All this means ntuch business for
the judges during the next court year
‘ which will open in the Superior Court
the second Tuesday in October.

Among the cases returned is an ac-
tion brought by Martin Heller. it
years old, through his father, dictu-
Heller of Danbury. against the New
Haven Kailroud. It is charged that the
company’s etnployes burned up an old
freight car which contained explo-
sives. An explosion occurred which
hurled a piece of iron througlt the air
breaking young Heller's left leg. It in

clairned. too. that the concussion
ruptured the boy‘s right ear drum.
The boy was in the hospital six

weeks anti his father paid out ‘200
for expenses. The accident is alleged
to he dtte to the negligence of tho
defendant's servants who failed to
properly examine the car before set-
ting it on fire. Damages to the
,amount of 82,000 are claimed.

The brotherhood representatives
were heard first. At the request of
Mr. Garretson it was agreed that the
brotherhood leaders should address
the committee two hours in opening

two periods representatives of the
employers and shippers have six

probable that in the strike which now
seems inevitable. Norwalk would sut-

' From a survey of the situation mode
by The Sentinel this morning. it does
not appear that Nurwalk. either in thet
line of food supplier, or in fuel and
raw material for the factories will
suffer immediately, that is not within'
a month. but should a paraliztng'
strike continue for more than four.
weeks, it is evident that quite a'sere

been devoting her entire attention to
