ADDITIONAL WATERBURY.
Continued From Page s.

ago, which he said he had been study ing up-that there was in law nothing to this claim of the manufacturers that a clause in a contract between an em- ployer and his employee, to recognize a union or combination, to which the employee belonged, in it's rules and demands governing it's members, in cluding such employee, was in law void This counselor said that the em- ployee, as a member of such union, where his contract rights and duties with his employer might conflict with his contract obligations to his union had right to have, as a part considera- tion for, and a limitation of the terms of his labor contract, such clause and condition as a recognition of his labor union in it's rules and govern ment of all it's members on questions of their labor; and that, in such case, a failure or refusal by the manufac- turer to observe the rules of the union, such as if he hired non-union men, etc., it was violation of the contract for which the employee could sue in a court of law. This attorney however, said-and The Examiner man states it only as he gave it, not being lawyer enough to decide on it's weight or re- liability-that he had grave doubts whether a simple labor contract be- tween employer and employee, into which as a part consideration for the contract of labor itself condition of recognition of a union or combination between this workman and multitude of other workmen, did not make the whole contract a void one and, as against public policy, unconstitutional, as being, in the whole, a contract in restraint of trade'." On this point, however, the lawyer was, as stated, rather in the dark and undecided as yet In general, as a rule, however, he remarked that the law and the courts aim to let people make their own con- tracts, however unreasonable or pecu- liar they may be, and, as far as pos sible, enforce such as the parties them selves make.
 The workmen of Waterbury-even to it's common laborers-are not and have never been unreasonable in their de- mands. And, likewise, to their credit be it said, most of Waterburys manu- lecturers have been uniformly just and fair-minded towards their help. There is today, with possibly one or two ex- captions not the slightest ill-will be- tween them and their employees on strike. Both sides fully appreciate each others position. The situation thus is hard one in which both of them are placed. If there is to be a compromise among fair. thoughtful and eonsid derate men, where they differ hon- estly on several questions, each from his own point of view feeling himself wholly in the right, there should be some mutual yielding, some conces- sion by both-else there is no com promise.
 The Examiner man predicts a speedy settlement of the present strike, honor able and satisfactory to all concerned, and, as mutual result, a still better understanding between manufacturer and workman than before has existed.

 The Boer who designed this fam tastic breastplate must, it is believed, have been of a poetic disposition, for the numerous pouches could have been of no possible use and only served to impede his movements while on commando.

ROBBED
Canode's and Riess' Places on
Twentieth and Twenty-third
Streets Entered.
ONLY SMALL AMOUNT SECURED
Burglar Unable to Get Into Bic
ber's Pharmacy--LocaI
Talent.

Two bold burglaries and another
attempt which was foiled alone BY
the strength of door fastening have
given the police knotty proposition
to unravel.
The jobs were done last night, the
places entered being Canode's and
Riess' drug stores and the attempt
being made al Bieber's pharmacy.
The total value of the property taken
will not exceed $50.
At Canode's store, which is located
at Twentieth street and Fourth ave
nue.. the burglar entered through the
transom over the front door, prying
of the frame of the screen and break
ing the hook that held the sash from
the inside. The exit was made
through the rear door, which was bar
ricaded from the inside, and the
raider took the trouble to shut it be-
hind him. Between S. aud SO was
taken from the cash register, together
with a dozen razors aud q book of
tickets for D 900 pounds of ice.
Panel Pried on Door.
At Riess' store, on Fourth avenue
and Twenty-third street, panel was
pried out of the rear door after the
screen had been cut and opened
from the inside. Here about SO in
cash and 200 cigars were ST secured.
At B!ebeT's store, which is on Fifth
avenue and Twenty third street, q steel
rod was used in an attempt to pry
open the side door opening TO the
east. The strip against which the
door shuts was torn off and after
futile attempt to break the lock, an
was begun to saw off the
bolt. The thief was evidently scared
away before he had time to complete
his operations. If an entrance had
been effected about $50 in cash would
have been easily secured.
burglar Probably a Boy
There is good evidence that the
wo'k was that of boy. At both
Canode's and Riess' the opening made
was scarcely large enough to let an
ordinary sized man in. Much valu-
able plumber was passed over in both
places that an experienced thief would
have secured. IL seems likely also
that the thief had some assistance,
in climbing over the tran
som at Canode's. In neither case was
the evidence of the robbers visit dis
covered till this morning, when the
places opened for the business of the
day.

.EQUINES HAVE GRIP.
Disease That Has Been Raging in
the East Has Struck
Rock Island.
VETERINARIANS ARE KEPT BUSY
Eight Horses Under Weather in
One Stable--Symptons
of Malady.

Veterinary surgeons are just now
busy doctoring the many equines sui
fering with the grip, catarrhal fever
in fluenzs, or whatever it is that is al
present raging among the unfortunate
beasts.
The disease has not shown itself tC
be particularly fatal, but in som {
cases is so serious that owners have
had to stop working their horses and
put them under the best of care. The
malady is said to be much the same
as the influenza that attacks the hG-
man family.
The chief symptoms are high fe-
yer and severe coughing. 1t seems
to be highly contagious among the
horses, but there is said to be no dam
ger from it to the human family. Hot
weather is credited with bringing on
the disease.
Fever and Sore Throat.
According to local veterinarians,
months ago the equines of New York
and other large cities near the Allan
tic coast were afflicted with it and
only recently it has been discovered
that most of the stables in Chicago
were affected. In the east the pa
tients are said to suffer from a high
fever and sore throat. The appe-
tite is usually good, but the animal
becomes listless and has q severe
cough. The disease very seldom
proves fatal unless complications
arise, but il is not wise to work an
animal that is affected.
The first cases were noticed here
only about week ago and they differ
in some respects from those reported
from the east, although the main
characteristics are different from any
thing heretofore known to the equines
OF his neighborhood and sufficiently
resemble the grip" as it is de-
scribed, to leave no doubt in the
minds of veterinarians that it is the
real thing. The cough is wanting,
but the patient becomes listless and
refuses to eat, There is high fever
but there is little evidence of sore
ness in the throat.
Puts Animal In Hospital.
There is no doubt that it renders
the horse very sick, just as the inilu-
enza does the human, and utter
ly units to perform any labor.
IL is said that the disease will not
affect human beings.
In the cases treated here the Ordi-
nary course has been rua in a weeks
time. Animals of all classes aud
ages appear to be equally affected by
the new malady, and where it has
started in other places it has run
through the entire equine population.
Eight animals in one stable in this
city are said to be afflicted with it.
