GRANT UNION HOURS
Futile, Warehouse & Taylor Employees to Work Eight
 After January 1.
OTHER HOUSES MAY FOLLOW
Price. Leo & Adkins Not Certain Vet - End of Thrcc-Ycar Struggle
 Is in Sight.

The statement from the Labor Her aid and printed in yesterdays Jour relative to tho granting of an cight-hour day in some of the lead ing printing offices of the city has been confirmed by one of them, and will probably take action very soon on the matter
 The firm of Futile, Warehouse & Taylor has decided to grant all their employees an eIght-hour day beginning on January l.
 Price. Leo & Adkins. when inter- viewed on the subject, refused to af- firm or deny the report, saving that they had tho matter under considera- ton and were not vet ready to make any statement in regard to the matter. The union printers seemed to be of tho opinion, however, that if this ac- ton was taken by the one firm the other would also grant union hours. This will not necessarily mean, how ever. that either of the firms concern ed will become union shops" al- though they will tnen be running un- der regular union conditions In prac- tlcally all respects.
 For the past three years the Typo graphical union has been demanding an eight hour day In these shops, but their demands have been resisted and tho firms nave remained non-union. although following union usages in nearly all other respects The adop- tlon of the eight hour day has been made voluntarily by Tuttle, More house & Taylor and not in response to any particular demand of their men, although there has been moro or less agitation in that direction for several years.
 Should Price, Lee & Adkins adopt the union hours of labor 1t will mean that practically all the printing houses of importance in New Haven will be run under union conditions.

Deputy Game Warden Vollmer Shot By Italian Whom He Then MOrtally
 Wounds,
AFFAIR OCCURS IN HAYDEN
Italian Had No License to Hunt Resisted Arrest-Recently Married-Vollmer in
 Custody.

In an attempt to escape from arrest at the hands of Deputy Game Warden Charles A. Vollmer in Hamden about 4:30 yesterday afternoon Domenico Pasquello, young Italian of Hamden. aged eighteen. shot Vollmer in the left wrist and was in turn shot by Vollmer In the breast and lung so seriously that he lies in dying condition at the New Haven hospital and no hope is entertained of his recovery. Vollmer was out scouting for violators of the law requiring licenses for hunting. The game wardens have been experi- encing great trouble from hunters who persist in hunting without procuring the licenses which are required by law. Vollmer came upon Pasquello hunting with double e-barreed shotgun, and, finding he had no license upon him and did not possess any. he promptly placed him under arrest
 The trouble occurred when vollmer attempted to put the handcuffs on the Italian, In trying 10 effect this Voll- mer dropped his revolver and the Ital- ian swooped down upon 1t and fired at Volmer on the instant The first shot missed him. but the second was aimed well at his left breast and would prob ably have gone near the heart but for the fact that Vollmer threw mp his left hand in self-defense and the bullet entered his forearm just about the thumb bone and penetrated through to the under side of the wrist couple of inches further Up the arm
 Vollmer then struggled with the man, and. capturing one of the shot guns. he fired at the Italian to subdue him. The charge of buckshot entered the Italians breast and pierced his left lung. The Italian fell, and as soon as possible aid was summoned and he was taken in the ambulance to the New Haven hospital There his con- dition was recognized as being prac- tically hopeless and the coroner was notified. What could be done for the Italian was done. but it was felt that he would die during the night
 The coroner went to the hospital early last night and secured from Pasquello an ante-mortem statement It is understood that fin the statement he made the claim that he was shoot ing woodchuck. The young man. who in fact Is but boy. lives In Hamden near the place where tho shooting oc- cured. known as Cherry Hill, and to add to the pathetic nature of the case he was married only Sunday.
 As soon as the seriousness of the case was recognized the police were notified to apprenend Vollmer and Detective Koble Bawlor was detailed to get him, This he did in short or der. and Vollmer was brought to cen- tral station and held there. In the in- terim between the shooting and the time he was arrested Vollmen went to

Says Police Forces Arc Inefficient and That State Cor-tabulary Should Look Out for Reckless
 Drivers.

The many recent automobile acci- dents in New Haven three of which within forty-cight hours of each other resulted fatally ono in the killing Of Edward S Tlnstacdt by the machine driven by Senator Alton Farrc, the second in the Killing of Rev Dr. C. Brinlcy Morgan by the machine driven by samuel Campbell. and the third in the killing of Fred rick T. Case by the machine of David II. Clark, have aroused the people of the city and of the state as well against reckless driv- ing and steps win probaly be taken toward the curhing of rccklessness as the result The incoming legislature, 1t is believed will be asked to amend tho automobile law, and there is a great deal of discussion in Nv Haven toward having the board of aldermen pass city ordinance further limiting the speed with which machines can go within the city limits
 Representative Joseph w. Alsop of Avon. who had a good deal to do with the present automobile law, was in terviewed over the wire by the Journal Courier last night and he said
 The present state law Is far from perfect one of the principal objections to lt is thnt t is not specific enough. IL provides that a machine must not he driven recklessly, but does not put any limit to tho speed This, think Is well enough, but the law does not put the responsibility for seeing that the ruling is carried out on any particular person ar set Of persons Naturally the sup. position is that the police in tho cities and tho cunstabes in the country towns will look out for the observance of the law But the police have shown that they arc inefficient I think that members of 2 state police should he delegated to look out for observance of the rule. and that the state police force hc enlarged for the purpose If neces. sary
