, sistant Superintendent Bookings and posse of strike breakers came rush 1 ing out of the barn, all armed with switch bars. They made line for the store where the boy was taken. Bookings at the head. At the door he turned to his followers and ex- claimed, Go i'll and clean out the (us- ing a vile epithet.)' It happened there was a number of men in the store and the invaders were forced out without much effort or violence. A prominent citizen of the west end, who saw the incident, stated that if he were the proprietor of the store MT Bookings would be arrested and prose- cuted. big success. Although there are some irregularities at present, we hope in a day or so to have all our lines running on pretty fairly good schedule time. The latest fad is to enjoy a safe and wholesome ride in one of the ''overfands."
 We are receiving complaints of the strike breakers on the North Willow street line insulting ladies along the line by waving hands and making ges- lures in endeavors to fiirt with them. Somebody will get into trouble if this thing is not stopped. We would sug- gest that the police watch out for this trick. Our men who wear the white badges have also been insulted i'll va rious ways by some of the strike breakers, but so far have paid no at tention to them, thinking contempt was about all the attention they should receive. These insults, how ever, will have to be stopped it trou- ble is expected to be avoided.
 Court Wolf Tone, No 28, F. of A., held a very enthusiastic meeting last evening, and after the regular business the trolley strike was discussed at con siderable length, after which the fol lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted: N@
 Whereas, The Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co being among those great molopolies of this peaceful com monwealth, and like all other monop- olies trusts and combines, are day by day endeavoring to curtail the freedom, rights and liberties of the American people, therefore be it
 Resolved, That we, the members or patriotic organization, the Foresters of America, do hereby condemn the management of said railway monopoly in not agreeing to submit the present unpleasant difficulty to a committee of arbitration; be it further
 Resolved, That we extend to our brothers and citizens of Watrbury now on strike for justice and principle, our sympathy and financial assistance; and be it further
 Resolved, That we, the members of Court Wolf Tone, do hereby agree to continue to walk, and that if we ride we do so in the union overland buses.
 At a meeting of the Patrick Sars- field club held last evening resolutions of sympathy for the trolleymen on strike were voted.
 Some of the trolley strikers say they saw two of the non union men under the influence of drink on their car last night. They were making their last run when the strikers saw them on Elk change place, and they say there was no mistake about their condition.
 MT Sewell stated to-day to Demo
  men have already been placed on the regular pay schedule. The others have not yet been asked to sign, and MT SeweN said he could not tell what they will do. He said he has had no bother about getting men, but the strikers do not believe this.
 The non-union motorman who was in the city court this morning told lie %n T,rI ID |, Farley had won all his money and did not leave him with $10 to his name. In the police station the man told Chief Egan he had SIP and he offered $10 to the chief in payment of his fine, but it was not sufficient and he went to jail.
 Not a passenger has been taken from the large number of employees of the Waterbury Manufacturing Go since the second or third day after the cars be- gan running. This is one of the signs of thetimes, ,atleast it is taken for such, for this factory was one of the very few where the machinists did not quit work when the great strike was called few years ago.
 A member of the Clerks association says that he can see no reason why the stores should be kept open another ulSld III CutA Weeh. It WOulQ De pTdC- tically useless to do so as business has been almost dead since the strike began We are hanging over the coun- ters large part of the time waiting for customer. There is no need in the least at the present time of keep ing the stores open another night dur ing the week
 Some of the school teachers would Hke to have the 'buses run in the direc- ton of their schools on such mornings as this morning. They don't care to ride in the trolley cars, yet they feel that they are running great risk in walking such long distance to the'r schools during such stormy weather It is not pleasant to sit for several hours during the day with clothes damp and feet wet. One young lady who lives near the center and teaches in the Bank street school said this morning that it would he nice thing if a bus would leave Exchange place about S:15 in the morning and run into the Brooklyn district and thus accom-
