Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-17

Sa1u you nave uOu6 IOOAASA thing, Judge Peasley is behind me and will make a laughing stock of you.' There is no apparent increase in the passenger traffic' In fact, the busi- ness done at the busiest hour, noon, has fallen off if there ds any change in it at all.
 According to his promise to the rep resentatives of the national headquar- ters of the strikers, Judge Burpee tele- graphed the directors of the company in New York about 11:30 o'clock, but had received no reply up to the time he left for Hartford, 12:3O o'clock. There was great deal of surprise expressed this morning when it be- came known that the unions involved in the injunction had decided to retain Attorney Danaher of Meriden, because, 1t was sadd, he represents the company in that town and vicinity. Inquiry into the matter, however, revealed his connection with the company to have l been nothing more than his presence l in few sales of land to the company. The semi-monthly meeting of the Central Labor union, which was held Monday evening, was largely attended l and proved to be very interesting session. A large amount of business was transacted. Nineteen delegates from the Burnishers, union were seat l ed, four from the Brass Workers and | two from the Butcher Clerks. The l union voted $50 from their treasury l to aid the Waterbury trolleymen in their strike, and motion was made and carried unanimously that all dele 1 gates report back to their respective unions that it is the sense of the Gen. tral Labor union that all members of any of the unions shall not patronize the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company's cars. that is not to ride on them under the penalty of fine, or expulsion, or both. There was consid- erable discussion over Organizer M. J. Hanlon's stand over the incorporation of unions and it was decided to ex- tend to MT Hanlon an invitation to at- l tend the next meeting of the union, to be held Monday evening, April 6, and give his views to the members on this important question. Meriden Record. Mrs Gary of Naugatuck, who is hay- ing some trouble with the strike breakers, came !, to Waterbury this morning and slapped the conductor on car 26 in Exchange place. She meant to whip the motorman, but claimed | that she was deceived in her man on account of the motorman changing caps with the conductor. The motor man is the same fellow who had the l row with Officer Schlepfer which re- suited in the officer resigning from the force. Mrs Gary said that the man insulted her this morning again and that she reported the facts to MT l O'Neill, who promised to see Manager Sewell about it. While the woman was standing in Exchange place car l 26 came along and whatever passed between the men and the lady, the lat ter walked across the street, boarded the car and slapped the conductor in the face, adding that she was taught to resent insults offered her and that while this mode of defending the dig nity of womanhood might not be l looked upon with favor it was the only course open to her seeing that she had Hailed to get redress from the com pany. The man didn't strike back and the Woamn left the car after tell Ing him a thing or two She is a southerner and says that in her home l all she would have to do in such a case would be to call an officer. Mrs Gary was very much worked up over
 the affair, but after listening to the ad vice of parties to whom she stated her
 grievance she calmed down somewhat
 and left for her home. She was told to make it point to be looking tie I TrroVy r1lo1, 1I,1
 her way and that there was no likeli-
 hood of anybody getting off the cars
 to interfere with her.
