NEW YORK, sept 12 -The danger
ployes seemed remote today in view
likely to be involved in such a move-
ment were those directly concerned
with the operations of the street cars.
Hugh Frayne, state organizer for the
American Federation of Labor, who
made this assertion, said that if a
sympathetic strike were called it
probably would not involve more than
60, 000 workers. In this class he
named engineers, firemen. longsbore-
men and teamsters.
in other respects the strike situation
today showed no mitigating features.
The strike now involves three coun-
ties. and the residents of Yonkers,
Mount Vernon and New Rochelle are
entirely without street car service.

Assembly met in special session at
the call of Governor Marcus H. Hol-
comb today, to provide statutory uu~
thority under which National Guards-
men of Connecticut. who are on Mea-
icnn border patrol duty. may vote at
the November election should they be
‘in federal service on that date. and
to authorise towns and cities to give
financial and national aid to depend-
ents of such soldiers.
To find a precedent for the session
the state archives were examined as
far back as Governor Buckingham'Is
time in 1864. when a special session ofI
the Assembly was held to provide
“draft legislation." The votes of 003-. '
necticut soldiers in the field at thatl
time were taken under constitutional
provision which became inoperative
