One party of 25, going in to the building at 1S7 Lafayette St., refused to listen to the pleas. Each side blamed the other for what fol- lowed but in a few minutes a general fight was in progress in which iron bars, stones and finally the razor was used.
 The man most seriously hurt was Patrick Cartone, picket, whose neck was laid open by the razor slash.
 The temper of both sides was de trouble trouble was believed certain.

 No progress has been made in ar bitrating the demands of the gar-| ment workers union and its allies T117o raIo pose the strike to a, finish. They de- clared, today, that they would close their factories and shops for months before they would give in to the de- mands of the workers.

 Russia

St Petersburg, Jan. 1O--A revoIu7 tionary plot organized by children has been discovered, it was declared by the police, today, when they arrested more than 60 little boys and girls, pupils in secondary schools
 r. The officials say that the plot was directed against Minister of Educa- tfon Sashou whose administration has been bitterly criticised and whose re- actonary measures against the univ ersftIeS have caused many of Russia s leading instructors to resign.
 Most of the children under arrest are from middle class working fami- lies and the police are energeticaIly raiding workingmen's homes and in terrogating the families regardless of age sex. A school adjoining the minister's residence was e1nptfed and thoroughly searched for explosives.

BRAVE FIREMAN STOPS RUNAWAY:
 SAVES CHILDREN
Occupant of Carriage Pain fully Hurt When Flung
 Into Street

Driving a highly spirited animal that was being exercised for the first time in a week, Stephen Lovejoy, 56 years old, of 94 Wolsey street, New Haven, was this morning badly bruised and cut when thrown from the vehicle at Mountain Grove street and Fair field avenue
 Possible injury to pedestrians was averted by Thomas Dwyer, a hoserna n who grabbed the bit of the frightened animal, 1t dashed past the quarters of Chemical Co., No. on MaplewoOd avenue, and chung to the reins until he had stopped the runaway.
 The horse is the property of the Ma tional Household Supply Company of Boston. It is ordinarily a gentle ami nal, and kept at the Wakelee Stables driven daily by the former resident collector who resigned on January 1. and this morning made his first trip. When turning the corner of Mountain Grove street it is said that the hind wheel caught in a frozen rut and the wagon tilted sufficiently to throw the driver headforemost in the street. The runaways approach was noticed by Dwyer, who was returning to the engine house from dinner at his resi- dence, 451 Coleman street Fearing that some children just ahead of the plunging horse might be injured he short run grabbed the animal by the bridIe. He was dragged for a. short distance but chung tenaciously to his hold.
 When sufficiently Quieted the horse was led to Chemical Co. No. 3 on Ma p1ewood avenue where it was cared for until called for by employees of the stable, who drove it back into the city.
 Lovejoy, who was unconscious in the gutter where he had fallen, was at tended by Dr. Curley of the emergency staff, and after Iacerations of the face and hands were dressed was permitted to return home by train, very much unneryed by his experience.
 Great credit is given by those who the runaway to Hoseman Dwyer for his prompt and fearless action.

AUTO DEALERS
 RAISE RATES
 FOR STORAGE
Minimum Charges of SIS Per Month for ''Live" Storage
 After Feb. 1
This Applies to All Cars Under no Inch Wheel Base-Others Up to $25'

Uniform rates for the storage of au- tomo mobiles, effective February 1, were adopted at a meeting of the Bridgeport Automobile Dealers Association in the Stratfield last evening. The new rates are, in general an increase over the current rates, due, the dealers say to the fact that their storage business has been conducted at loss The new rates, regulated principally by the wheel base of the cars, are as fol- lows:
 Live storage, all cars, up to 11O inch wheel base, $15 per month
 Live storage, all open cars over 1a0 inches, $20
 Live" storage, Hmousines, $aS.
 Storage, without service, all cars,
 Dead storage, $.
 The terms covering storage arc de-
 Live storage includes with the storage of the car, service such as washing and polishing the car, keeping it ready for use at all times |. Storage without service means the cleaning of the car only on order, and for extra charge.
 fDead'' storage means the housing of a car, not in use.
 The. dealers discussed the question of the storage of trucks but decided to leave the regulation of rates on this class of storage to the discretion of individual dealers.
 The meeting of the dealers last even ing was a special gathering called by President James J. Kerw1n to con- slider the gasoline situation, and the matter of storage rates came up in connection with the general discus sion
 The Standard OH Go. has declined to renew it's contracts with dealers to supply gasoline at 10 cents a gallon, rate that prevailed, under special con tracts entered into before July. 1912, with all dealers who cared to take ad- vantage of the rate. Since Jan. 1 the price of gasoline to dealers, at the Standard Oil Co.'S yards here, has been IT cents The dealers decided last night on a. uniform retail rate of 22 cents, which has generally prevailed in the garages throughout the city since New Years.
 A committee of three dealers was named by President Kerwin to confer with the Standard Oil Co.'S local rep resentative sto ascertain whether lower nFittee comprises w. E. Norris, s. T. Velie, and Erwin M. Jennings They will report at the next regular meet ing of the associa tion-
 tSThe question of storage rates, said a well known dealer today, has come to be serious with the garages I have kept careful account of my stor- age business and though I have been all the time, I find I have been losing money on the rates I have been accustomed to charge My ex- perience is the same as that of other dealers. It is not a question of com bining to hold up the automobile owner for exorbitant charges, but merely of getting enough from our storage to pay the expenses of that end of the business
 Speaking of the gasoline situation, the same dealer said there was not enough money in gasoline, even at 2 centS to make it worth while to han dIe it except as an ton to patrons of the garage.
