WOUNDED, WANTED TO REST.
A Ghastly and Mysterious Affair 1
 New Britain This Morning.


 New Britain, June 27.--Wath a terri ble gaping wound in his neck and the blood streaming freely from it, Chris topher O'Brien, about 25 years old, walked into the police station a few minutes before i o'clock this morning and asked Officer Seiple, who was in charge if he might sit down in chair and rest himself. The question came in gurgle, as the mans throat was cut from ear to ear, the jugular vein being severed, probably by a razor.
 At the same time Special Officers O'Keefe and Carlson brought in a young man whom they said they had arrested on complaint of a second par ty, who claimed that the man arrested had tried to cut him with a razor.
 The time was critdcal one, with one man In a dying condition in the station, 80 the man brought in by the officers was hurried into a cell with out being asked the usual questions. When searched a razor was found ID one of his pockets. Attention was then turned. to O'Brien. He was still sitting in the chair and conscious, but very weak. Drs Elcock and Hem were summoned While waiting for the physicians the chief of police ar rived at the station and after bandag- ing the wound as much as possible, O'Brien was questioned as to how he received it. At first the man was very reserved and would make no statement, but from what the officers managed to get out of him, 1t was in ferreds that the wound was received in a fght. When O'Brien was asked if the man just brought into the station was the one who had cut him, he wouldn't say.
 When further questioned O'Brien said that under no condition would he give the name of the man who had cut him, leaving the inference that he knew. He said, 1T would rather die first, for I'm not man who can be called a souealer.'' He was steadily growing weaker and suddenly fainted from loss of blood. The chief then sent hurry call for Father Walsh. who administered to O'Brien the sac rament of extreme unction. on the arrival of the physician, OBrten was placed on stretcher and artery for ceps were inserted in the veins and arteries which had been severed or in- iured. to stay the flow of blood.
 The doctors ordered his immediate removal to the New Britain hospital. They said that if the wounds didn't t open up on the way, there might be little hope for the mans recovery, but they were doubtful.
 Just before O'Bmen fainted, he made a statement to the police that the cut was made by a friend who lived in New Britain, but he would not say who he was. lit Is thought that he Is employed by the Barnum & Bailey cir GUS. 1

Compulsory Labor Arbitration.

stz
 What do you consider the most i'm tration of labor disputes2 Do you think the law could be enforced (made to operate effectively in respect to both labor and capital? If 1t does not op- crate effectively on both, would 1t not be class legislation and unconstitution- al? The first objection to compulsory arbitration is that, to the extent it sue ceeded, it would destroy all individual right in an industrial controversy. Under such a law, if enforced accord ing to the intention, if the laborers re- fused to work for the wages decided upon, employers could go to the courts and compel them to do so; and con trariwise, if employers refused to pay certain amount, they could be coerced Into doing 1t by the courts. This would destroy the right of either side to bar gain in the matter. The second objec- tion Is that even if the courts should decide the question it would be well nigh impossible to enforce the decision. For instance, if an employer could not without loss pay a certain wage, 1t would be impossible for all the courts, jailers and even soldiers to compel him to do so; and on the other hand 1t would be equally impossible, certainly fmpracticable, to compel laborers to work for given wage if they really refused to do so. The law may pre- vent them from working, yet there is no amount of law yet invented that could compel a man to work if he was willing to take the consequences of not working. g.-Gunton's Magazine.

TROUBLE IN FOURTH REGIMENT
Why Nine officers Have Sent in Their
 Designations.

why Nine Omcers nave Sent Tn Inelr
 Designations.
 Stamford June 27-At the close of last years encampment of the c. N. G., it was understoon that there was considerable hard feeling toward Col onel c. W. Hendrie of this city. There was talk at the time of serious trouble which would do much to disintegrate the regiment, but it was understood that the colonel intended to resign be- fore another encampment and matters Quieted down. The colonel announced to some of his friends during the lato winter that he was about to give up the command and it was thought that Major Gilbert L. Fitch of this city would succeed him, the major being Il very efficient officer and popular with Fitch has obtained leave of absence for and it is understood that he does not feel himself in position businesswise to accept the offer.
 Several of the officers have expressed their hope that they would not have LO go luLO CdLlp dSdlu uuuoE Iue pres ent order of things and they have been expecting a change from day to day. One date after another has been given for the expected change but all have passed with nothing doing" The sit uation has now reached a very critical stage. Brigadier General Frost. who has the matter of the bIgade's con- dition under his care, has been cogniz- ant of the facts but has done nothing. Hopes of improvement under the ., N. c. reorganization before camp also have bean abandoned; neither has the inspection by the regular army officer borne fruit, though it was believed that would cause General Frost to act.
 The announcement was made last night that nine officers-of B and K, Bridgeport, and D. Stamford, including Captains Leonard, Crona2 and Bloom CT respectively-have resigned and it is said that others will follow suit imme- diately. These officers, it is alleged hold that in self-respect they were com pelled to take such action

Labor Harmony Must Come.


 In recent interview published in Boyce's Weekly John Mitchell says:
 '"The industrial situation at the present time is causing no little ap- prehension on the part of the super ficial observer, who does not devote sufficient time or thought to such mat ters to enable him to obtain thorough understanding of the true status of affairs.
 Il have just returned from an ex- tended trip through the east and find that the sole topic of conversation in the hotels, on the trains, and where ever people congregate is the labor sit uation. Judging from comments, ar guments and discussion, one would be led to believe that a great crisis Is upon us, that the commercial su- premacy of the nation Is endangered, and, as a matter of course, that por- tion of society which neither works with it's head or hands, and which does not know the difference between a la bor union and a snake dance of the Fiji islanders, is loud in his protesta- tion that labor unions should be abol- ished and the walking delegate rele- gated into innocuous desuetude.
 4 <AS 0 41dItCI Ol IdGI JACIG GIG uO strikes, there are no more men on strike at the present time than there have been at this season in other years, but the immense growth of the trade unions during the past year and the great strength acquired by them has caused public attention to center upon their movements: as a cons&- quence every strike or lockout Is giv- en wide publicity in the columns of the press, and the idea thus conveyed to the public that we are verging upon industrial revolution.
 Nothing is further from the fact. It is true that there are some serious labor disputes and some knotty prob- lems to solve, but we have passed through like conditions heretofore, and the energies and resources of the people have not been overtaxed in finding solution to our difficulties. have no fear for the future. The ap- plication of common sense and busi- ness judgment, and the recognition of the fact that a great revolutionary movement is in progress, Is all that Is required
 The most serious aspect to my mind is not the differences between laborers and capitalists. but rather the the internecinine strife among a few Of the labor unions themselves These dissensions are unseemly, unfortunate and indefensible; they invite criticism and censure from labor, and from em- ployers who are friends of labor; they also place in the hands of the oppo- nents of labor unions weapons which are used with telling force against them.
 Such quarrels as these should cease forthwith, and the labor unions and their friends should unite in harmo- nious. intelligent effort for the amel. ioration of the workers and the pro- motion of proper relationship with the employers. The old slogan, "Unit' ed we stand, divided we fall,' should be kept ever in mind"
