When the smoke cleared away thirty-one wounded and dead bodies lay on the pavements.
 There is contention as to who fired first, the soldiers or the rioters. That the troops were fired on is proved by the fact that of the fallen four were members of the company. Their wounds were slight

 Philadelphia, July 7.--Of the 1850 hands employed in the John Dobson Cloth and Blanket mill, Falls of Schuylkill, 1,400 returned to work to- day, terminating a strike of five weeks duration. The operatives went back on the old basis of sixty hours week.
 All the streets leading to Dobson's mill were thronged with union strik- CTS from other sections of the city who endeavored to dissuade the em- ploys from their intention of resuming work. The members of the executive committee of the Central Textile Workers union say the action of the Dobson strikers will have no effect whatever on the 5000 cloth weavers of the Kensington district, which is the textile center of the United States. Tn that sectfon not one of the weavers has returned where the 55 hour week has not been conceded.

Everyone is aware of Mir kennedys stand toward labor, and on the other hand he has been counsel for the trolley company and the Gas Im- provement Go in matters pertaining to Naugatuck. so that 1t is therefore evi- dent that he is a friend to both sides of this tedious controversy With full power to act'' in the hands of MT Ken nedy, those who know him should feel confident tlat the strike would be ad- jnsted with satisfaction to all.

Crowd Watched Him Take Train for
 Bridgeport


 Irwin Wolcott, who was supposed to cut such swath in the trial of the trolleyrnen charged with assaulting couple of strike breakers on the Water vile line was an object of much at- tentfon at the Naugatuck station this morning. He was waiting for the 11:15 south bound train and as soon as it became known that he was about the premises everybody wanted to see him. Even the women in the waiting room rushed out and desired to be shown the man they had heard so much about Wolcott bought a ticket for Bridgeport and as he boarded tue car he looked like some chfpper fellow who was starting for the shore. He was attired in a light suit and black hat and carried two small parcels. The hackmen and others tried to catch his eye, but this appeared to be out of the question He was always gazing in the other direction and when they sur rounded him he riveted his eyes on the floor and managed to get aboard and be whirled away without giving any body the satisfaction of saying that he pulled a face at Wolcott.
