is unquestionably the worst thing that has been said of anybody since the trouble started and unless the press of New York enjoys unbridled license 1t would seem that MT Barrett has good ground for action against the paper. in which it appeared. Everybody in Waterbury knows that Paul Mendel ssohn was-a member of the police force couple of years before the strike started, and in any case, MT Barrett never gave out such an outrageous statement and knew nothing whatever about it until somebody sent him a copy of the Brooklyn Eagle to-day. After reading the scurrilous article MT Barrett consulted an attorney, who in formed him that it was libelous. He intends to take steps to find out if he has any redress. If there is no limit to what newspaper may say about a man and yet not have itself liable, it is high time law was passed which will insure some sort of protection to private individuals. All the union men and citizens generally are very indignant over the cruel attack upon MT Barrett and it goes without say ing that nobody feels it more keenly than MT Barrett. II
