Uhe Incorporation of Labor Unions Bill
 tWin Come Up-The Constitutional
 Amendment Question Will Also
 Have Another Inning-The Railroad
 Repeal Bill Is Another of the Meas
 ares That Seems to Hang Fire.
 Hartford, May 9.-The house broke up in an uproar yesterday when ad- 1journment was forced by MT Wakelee of Southbury in order to cut off a pos sibflity of the reconsideration of the New London Gas company's amend ment, and on Tuesday there will be, it Is expected, some results. From the talk in the corridors of the capitol yes terday afternoon after the forced ad- sjomnmen!t it was evident that an at tempt will be made on Tuesday to re- open the discussion of this measure as also of the vaccination repeal bill. Next week will therefore open with some interesting developments, and from the reports of various committee chairmen the week will not end before ksome other interesting questions come 3 up for decision. One of these will be the report of Ehe labor committee on the incorpora- tion of labor unions bill, which was given an extended hearing and which ahas aroused both strong support and vigorous opposition. This bill pro vides for the giving of 15 days notice by both employers and employees as to lockouts and strikes, and is the first attempt also in this state to force the Issue of the labor unions and the mi aitia. A report is expected some time During the week.
 This coming week will also see the Constitutional amendment taken up which replaces the present document with the revised constitution as pre- pared by the late convention. As sent o tihe house this will have no refer ence to representation, it being left to ine house to so amend the report as 10 bring up again the question of a ehange in the complexion of the lower body >of the legislature. The railroad Repeal bill seems now as far as ever from final decision. The Judiciary eommfttee cannot come to a decision

Week Day Games May Also Be Stop
 ped at Riverside Park.
 Chief of Police George M. Egan stated to-day that he would continue to send police to the different baseball grounds on Sunday to see that the or der Of the board of public safety In regard to Sunday baseball being pro- hibited shall be carried out. He could see no other way of enforcing the or der. Furthermore the chief stated that it was possible that week day games at Riverside park would also be stopped unless the people who patron ize these games cease to annoy the passengers on the trolley cars and the strike breakers. SHow can you stop week day games if the boys are allow ed to play on the grounds a reporter asked. "Of course if the grounds were rented by the players the games could not be stopped. But it would not be 8 difficult matter, possibly, to have the owner post signs about the grounds, prohibiting trespassing. The owner would no doubt think that 1t would be better to have the game stop ped than to have the disturbances. continued
