A LITTLE RUMpUS AT THE GAR BARNS

McIntyre's badge, punch and buttons
 which were handed over. Not satis-
 fled with the rapidity with which they
 were turned over, Farley took hold of
 Mcintyre, as also did his clerk and the
 car starter. They tried to drag him
 into the barn, according to McIntyre's s
 story, but as he is muscular fellow,
 he stood them all off. Then Farley
 gave some sort of a signal for help and
 about ten of his strike breakers came
 rushing out and they literally tore the
 clothes off Mcintyre who finally es-
 capped on account of the crowd that was
 being attracted. Farley then went into
 the office and paid Mcintyre $S, al-
 though he says that $15 should have
 been the amount paid him. This morn-
 ing he consulted "a lawyer, and it Is
 quite likely that the affair will be aired
 in court.
 Mcintyre says that although the
 company advertised for twelve conduc-
 tors and twelve motormen,. and al-
 though over twenty-five answered the
 the advertisement. only three agreed to
 come to work when they found out the
 places to be filled were in Waterbury.
 He said he was suspicious from the start that he had been lied to, but being out of work, finally took a chance and
 came here.

 Boss Farley was called to the end of the East Main street line last night to superintend the hauling back onto the rails of car that, had been run out farther than the tracks and embedded in the dirt road. The arc light at that point which the city pays the company $100 year for so that its passengers may be enabled to get on and off the cars in the night time

 Here Is work for the members of the Citizens alliance, which is so strongly opposed to" the un-Americap boycott. One of the striking trolley men visited the plant of we'll known factory yesterday and secured work as casters helper. 1lhis morning he went to the shop to begin work at his new employment. He was asked few questions by one of the bosses and when it was ascertained that he was striker, he was told thate his services were no longer required. This is boycoting or blacklfsting in the strictest sense of the word.
 A pamphlet has been issued from the office of the American Federatipn of Labor containing the appeal Of :. President Mahon of the algamated Association of Street Railway Em- ployes of America, to President Com ] pers of the American Federation of Labor on behalf of the Waterbury striking trolleymen. Mir Mahon re- views the history of the trouble in Wa terbury and considering that he speaks for the men, gives very impartial account of the whole affair. The ex- ecutive council has approved the appli- cation. which means that the fight is now on in earnest, and he would be wise nam who could tell at fhis time when it will end.
 , "Is the Boycott Coming?" asks the New Britain Herald. and then this pa- per goes on to say it is stated that an effort is being made to have meet ing of all the union men in New Brit ain called for the purpose of taking some action toward helping out the trolleymen of Waterbury. The scheme, as it has been explained to the Herald reporter, is to have the union men in New Britain refuse to ride on the trolley cars and to also, use their influence to prevent others from riding on them. As 1t is the same company that operates the trol. ley lines in the two cities, the idea of this new move is to force the company to make terms with the Waterbury strikers. The movement is not suf- ficiently advanced to warrant the statement being made at present that the meeting will be called, or that if if is called. any such action as contem- plated will be taken. As far as the local trolley employees are concerned, It may be said that on the average they are an exceptionally fine body of work men and have but one grievance. That arises from the supposition on the part of certain employees that vacancies where choice runs occur are not always filled by regular promotion for length of service.
 New Britain. March 2S.-But little Is known as yet as to what will be the result of the proposed attempt to boy colt the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co.'S trolley lines in New Britain. 1t Is stated that each of the local unions has received circular that no union man shall ride on the cars. Some unions did not take any action. and what action, if any. was taken by the others was not made known. Some union men are 1uoted as saying that they do not ap- prove of any such action against the company. The trolley company's en- oloyes are not organized and have no grievances against the company.
