HARD TO KEEP IMPORTED MEN AT THEIR WORK Third LOt of Strike Breakers Now in
 City
Many Casualties Reported d Among Them -StapeIy
 Strikers Are Quiet

The New Haven road with it's strike in Bridgeport is having it's own trou- bIes Night and day they occur. By day it is the old problem of keeping a bunch of strikebreakers at work pull ing and hauling on the heavy cases which they are 10th to move and at night eternal vigilance is needed to keep anything not nailed down within the sheds. On top of all this is the natural instinct to fight which must be at once suppressed
 Life on the wharveS these days is not one of unallowed joy, as the ann bulance records of the emergency hos pital begin to show and as will be tes- tified to by Freight Agent L. B. Nick erson should anyone ask him.
 The last episode occurred at o'clock this morning when Charles HalIeran, of 523 Health street, Jamaica Plain, V. T.. got into trouble on the boat Fall River receiving a cut upon the head. His injuries were attended , to by the chef of the boat while await ing the arrival of the ambulance with Dr. C. L. Davis, who after further treatment had the patient put to bed
 Three lots of men have been brought to this city to take the strikers places. Those first brought here came in on the boat They came here with the understanding they were to work industriously but fin their own opinion if was for a laTE- AS soon as IhS1F intentions became known, according to an official of the company, they were permitted to depart and a second lot drought in by train. These men were similarly inclined and 1t is said con- hdently that they are of a. ca.liber to remain at the work and locate their homes here At any rate. the com pany has brought large enough number so that any unruly spirits can be discharged without affecting the service.

 Strike conditions at the -stapley factory in Railroad avenue, where 25 1nachinists and toolmakere went on strike Monday afternoon, remain the same as reported yesterday. With the return of William Larkin. business agent of the unions here it was said that no concessions would be made from the demands made for 50 hours work with 55 hours pay and that reg ular picket would be maintained and strike benefits paid
 Both al the morning and noon hours pickets patroiled before the gates but no acts of violence or intimidation twere attempted. A special detail of the third precinct station were on hand to cope with any troublesome situation thnt might arise.
 President Coe in an interview with a Farmer reporter, said that the sit 11ation in the factory was about the same as yesterday although he claim ed that between IS and 20 men had deserted the ranks of the strikers and had returned to work These were mostly press-hands He refused to say what means had been taken to fill <he places of the machfnists and tool Enakers. That men will be brought crom other cities could not be con hrmed.

 ATerfden as to whether oR not the citf- zens desire the road built.s He claim : ed that the road would menace the watershed of the town. Senators Neebe and Peck opposed this amend ment and the former said that Senator Stevens did not represent the people of Meriden and he objected to his bringing in any personal kbias. The amendment was lost and the bill was adopted.
 On the bill providing for two pages in the Senate and four in the House in place of the present messengers, Sen ator Perry made objection to section 1 which, would repeal all laws incon- SiStent with this one. Senator Mo Donough said that the measure was bad and he fought it vigorously, criti- cising Senator McNei1 for bringing in any such bill. Mir. McNeil, in reply, said that the object of the bill was to take the positions of doorkecper and messenger out of the political arena as plums. He believed that boys could do the work as well as men. MT. McDonough said that the state should not go into the business of hiring minors. A mans pay was called for ir the bill and men should be employed. Senator Landers' mo tion to indefinitely postpone was car ried and the bill was killed.
 Bills adopted included those incor- porating the Masonic Temple Associa- tfon of New Haven and concernine 2. taxation of Ridgeheld.

 Hartford, May 21.-The Senate, to- day, killed the bill which was drawn to increase the salaries of judges of the common pleas courts in Fairfield, New London, Hartford and New Ha- ven counties and the civil side of the district court at Waterbury. To the bill Senator McGrath offered an amendment to strike outN the words ''civiI side'' in relation to the district court at Waterbury and making the salary of the deputy judge there $1.- 900. The amendment was opposed vigorously by Senator McDonough and it was withdrawn.
 Senator Perry was sorry he could not vote for. the increase of salary for the deputy judge at Waterbury, but he was against the whole measure be- cause it showed favoritfsm to a few judges. If the idea, he said, was to increase the salaries all the judges should have been given a chance to be heard. After defeating the mo- ton to send the matter to the appro- priations committee, the bill was kill ed by rising vote of 15 to IA.
 On a bill reviving and continuing the rights of the West Peak Railway Company of deriden, an amendment was accepted providing that stock shall be issued for cash at not less than par. Senator Stevens tried to have an amendment added providing that a referendum shall be taken in

 Hartford, May 21.-Unless relief comes from the Senate, Connections will have another toll bridge thrust upon it, and the New Haven Railroad will be relieved of it's share of the cost of building a new bridge across the Housatonic River, between Stratford and Milford.
 The amendment offered by Repre- sentative Wilson of Bridgeport was beaten in the House, yesterday after noon 70 to 50.
 This amendment struck from the bill the provision making a toll bridge, and fixed the cost upon the state, New Haven county, Fairfield county and the Connecticut Company, twenty-five per cent. to each.
 Representative Lockwood of. Starn- ford made splendid argum ent against the toll principle.
 Representative Wilson said: Bridgeport has made large sums of money to get rid of toll bridges. The toll bridge is barb9rity. When the cost of a public improvement is in f1icted upon the users. a few people are compelled to pay for something useful to all the people, and the effect is to relieve wealth from that part of it's share of the cost of government. The present bridge is a free bridge. Make the new structure a toll bridge,

Hartford. May 21-When House Biu No. 996 came up for action this morn ing in the House. Representative Lynn w. Wilson of Bridgeport offered an amendment which was accepted and the bill as amended was adopted. The bill provides that the State shall pay the expense of maintaining all bridges upon trunk line highways of not over 40 foot span MT. Wilson objected upon the ground that the bill would relieve the trolley companies of the State from their share of the expense for the care of such bridges. He of- fered an amendment which provides that where such bridges are crossed by trolley lines the companies operat- ing such lines shall pay a. proportion ate share of such expense, and the amendment was accepted by the House and the bill as amended was adopted. This amendment win save many dollars for the State in the care of highway bridges crossed by trolley lines.
