STRIKE LIKELY
General Conference Board
Votes, However, to Back
Providence Men in
Contest.
CLAIM UNFAIR TREATMENT
Rhode Island Admitted Into Union,
Which Now Embraces the
Entire New Haven
System.

The quarterly session of the general
conference board of the union of troll
leymen on the various systems con-
trolled by the New York, New Haven

cance In the first place the scope OF
clude the Rhode Island trolley sys-
TENS which are under the charge of
the New Haven road, but which have
never been represented at all in the
union and which have never had any
delegates to the general conference.
Frank T.. Hannah of Providence,
was the delegate sent mere by the
union in Rhode Island and he was
voted is an a member of the confer
ence board and his division of the
union which has been recently formed
was made part of the system which
now includes the lines in Connecticut,
Massachusetts. New York and Rhode
Island.
The union which has just been
formed in Rhode Island has been beset
by difficulties being opposed by the
management of the road in Provi-
dence. Feeling reached n high pitch
in that state on account of the dis
charge of n large number Of men
whom the union men say were fired
for no other reason than that they
were active In the formation of the
union. The condition which this
brought about has become such that II
was decided to have the union affil-
lated with that Of the other states,
thus combining the entire system and
also bringing the questions which per-
plex In Rhode Island, before the gen.
eral conference for advice.
Thomas Deskin, who with Charles
Minnix makes up the representation
OF two which the New Haven lines has
on the conference board stated last
night that while the matter of the
Rhode Island grievances had beer
brought up before the conference they
had only been treated for the pur.
pose OF giving advice as the local mer

an Outing.

There Is chapter regarding the ac-
tivity of the state police at the west
short that did not come out at the
hearing of the Sunday liquor law v.o.a-
tion cases in the borough court Of West
Haven yesterday The chapter Is a sad
commentary on the methods used by
the state police and it is party respon-
sble for a very bitter feeling against
them by many persons in all walks OF
life, who have been made acquainted
with the facts.
Said a prominent citizen yesterday
and one not connected IN any way tn
the saloon or hotel Interests at the
shore: Il have heard the inside facts
regarding some Of the work Of the state
police at the shore and II Is about time
that the Christian leaders Of the state
should take a hand to stop some OF
the methods used. when the reputa-N
tions of our respectable young women
are viciously jeopardized. as in this
case, TO catch two or three saloonkeep-
ers selling beer on a Sunday then II Is
about time to call a halt or make an
investigation"

ment 1t is alleged that man by the
name Of Foley In the employ of the
state police, having two addresses in
Hartford, one at 1l2 Hungerford street,
and the other at 173 Russ street, and
also another In Rockville at / Law
renee street, and state Policeman VAL
kyrie, alias Frank Wylle. of Bridge
port, took advantage OF the formers
friendship with respectable girl liv-
ing in New Haven and used her and
another New Haven girl as innocent
tools to get intoxicating drinks at the
Rock on certain Sunday In June.
Both OF the young women are em-
ployed in one OF the big department
stores In this city One Of them had
known Foley well In Hartford She
knew his family and when he came to
call upon her here early In June she
accepted an invitation to ride to the
west shore and have dinner. She first
invited him to her home but he in
sisted upon going to the Rock and as
her mother was Ill she decided to 60

plete the second young woman was In

Without the slightest suspicion that

policemen the young woman, both of
whom come from highly respectable
families and both Of whom have the
very best Of characters, started out for
the shore. They went to one of the
most prominent places and before any
objection could be offered one Of the
mon ordered wine.
Later they left and during the af-
ternoon were inveiglel into two other
places, having refused to go into fully
half dozen others
Early that evening the girls went
home and II was several daes az er that
they heard that Foley and valkyrle
were state policemen. Both were ter
