 HIS GLORY NOT

Pleading Women Gather Around the Youthful Sen ator from Bridgeport To- day.

(From Our Special Correspondent.)
 Hartford, April 5-Young in years but wise in his choice of a commit tee, Senator Archibald McNeil, IT,, this afternoon saw gathered before him he greatest aggregation of plead ing women that ever deigned to pay attention to one mere man since the days of Solomon.
 The women were the leaders and ad- herents of the Woman Suffrage move ment in Connecticut, and they out lined their cause before the Suffrag ge committee of which the young Bridge port Senator is chairman.
 Sitting jointly with the Suffrage committee were the committees on Excise and on Constitutional Amend ments Of the latter Senator McNeil also is chairman.
 A number of women of State wide prominence, including several from Bridgeport, were among those who pleaded the cause of woman's suffra ge before the sympathetic Senator this afternoon.
 By his avowed championship of the suffrage movement, Senator McNeil has become the lion of the hour among the ladies of Connecticut.

 CLERK TO FIGHT
 FOR HIS RIGHTS
Charles Quack e enb u S h Claims His Dismissal is Due to Treachery of Rail way Associations Presi- dent, Who Fears Defeat by Him.
Especial from United Press)

Stamford April 5-Charles H. Quackenbush said, this morning, that in his opinon his dismissal from the railway mail service by order of the postmaster general was the result of transformation given to the depart ment at Washington by the present President of the Railway Mail Clerks Association whose defeat by Quack- enbush, at the general election which takes place, next Tuesday, is predict ed by those in close touch with the organization.
 Tt is my belief that A. c. Walton, the present president of this division, and J. T. Garfield, of Syracuse, the general president of the order, have sold us out,' he said. 'I believed this for some time and my campaign for the district presidency has been based upon it.
 ''The official reason given for my dismissal is conduct detrimental to the service.' For IA years I have been in the postal service and the rec ords of the department show a per fectly clean record for every day of that time. There is not a single mis- demeanor which can be charged to me and the only reason that I can see for my dismissal is political.
 ''Mr. Walton, the present presi- dent, has know himself beaten for over a week. I am the successful candidate and this can only be a move emanating from him.
 MT. Quackenbush was in New York. all day, yesterday, working for a hearing on the matter.

PLUMBERS' STRIKE
 PETERS OUT IN SOUTH MANCHESTER
Especial from United Press


 South Manchester, April 5.-The striking plumbers sustained a severe setback, today, in the announced in- tention. of the union carpenters to work with trikebreakers. The plumbers, who are out demanding a Saturday half holiday, are not union men and the carpenters state that if the union plumbers are taking the strikers places the union carpenters cannot refuse to work with them.
 The boss plumbers acclaimed the carpenters decision a victory and said they were having no trouble filling the places of the striking plum bers. The announcement of the carpenters, too, means that the plumbers strike will have no bearing on other trades.
 New London, April 5.-The local carpenter strike situation was un- changed, today. The 250 union car penters on strike comprise practically the entire trade here and work is at a standstill. A. few employers have secured non-unfon men but no at tempt has been made by the bosses to bring in strikebreakers on a large scale
