Both animals were severely scratched and bruised. A strike occurred at Cotton Hol- low yesterday where the c. w. Blakeslee Co is working on the trol- ley improvements. At an early hour three laborers were found defending the temporary bridge which crosses the river at that point forbidding any of the workmen to cross to get to their work. On investigation it was found that they desired to have their wages increased to $1.75 per day from s1.25. and s1.50. Most of the men were willing to go to work at present wages, but the three men seemed to have sufficient moral or physical influence to keep the others back, Mir Blakeslee was called from New Haven In the afternoon and paid of about twenty-five of the men who wanted an increase of wages and later in the day a large number of others were discharged. The incl dent created some little excitement in the borough.
