STRIKERS DECLARE
 POLICE CONSPIRE
 WITH HIRED. THUGS

New York. Jan. 3o-.That the police are in a conspiracy with private guards hired by the clothing manu- facturers to persecute the garment strikers was the charge made today by the union leaders and organizers in charge of the garment workers strike, following the wholesale arrests during the past two days of groups of girl pickets who were doing 'noth- ing more disorderIy than walking up and down the sidewalks near the big ger factories and shops.
 In many instances, asserted Ger trude CorIiss, the Barnard College girl who is lending her aid to the strik- CTS, the arrests were precipitated by the "hfred guards" of the manufac- turers These so-called guards she said, made a practice of Jumping in front of a girl picket and stepping on her toes. When the girl pushed the guard away he would shout for a po- Iiceman and charge that the girl at tackled him without provocation.
 Rough handling by the police in rounding up the girl pickets was an other accusation. According to Miss CorIiss, a number of girls were ar rested yesterday with black and blue marks from being tapped with clubs.
 The referendum vote on the agree ment reached between strikers and manufactu Saturday, is scheduled to be taken today.

 LIGHTING MONOPOLY
(sneciaI to The Farmerl

Special to The Farmer)
 Hartford, Jan. 0-Representative e CIitus King of Fairfield, chairman of the committee on Cities and Boroughs has introduced a measure into the House which aims to wipe out the monopoly now enjoyed by the United Illuminating Co. of this and other Connecticut cities.
 MT. Kings bill which has been re- feTred to the committee of which he Is House chairman would repeal Sec ton 391 of the general statutes which was amended at the session of 1909 after a strenuous fight led by Stiles Judson in behalf of the Howland Co. of Bridgeport who contested the al legged right of the monopoly to the, ex- elusive privilege of purveying electric current to consumers which desired
 The electric lighting monopoly when it found things going against 1t at that time consented to a compromise which was accepted.
 Now other business men in Bridge port have decided that they too have a preference in the matter of pur- chasing current for illuminating pur- poses and they have waited upon MT. King and asked him to do what he could to have the bill repealed in so far as it gives to one concern what is practically a, monopoly in their field.
 MT King has agreed to do all he can to have the monopoIistic feature of the statute wiped out. He has been assured of strong support from many of the members of the House on both sides Of the. chamber

FARMERS ASSOCIATION
 AT PRESENT SESSION

Hartford, Jan. 30-1'he Farmers Association, which first graced the General Assembly in 1903 as an orga- nization of the farmers in the Legis- lature and which has with each suc- ceeding session had it's place as one of the fixtures, will come into being this session Its custom is to meet about an hour before the regular ses- sion each day and discuss the bile which are to come up. At the meet ing of the agricultural committee yesterday a committee composed of MT. Kirchberger of Morris and MT. BIakenan of Stratford was appoint ed to take up the matter of perpetuat- ing the organization during the pres ent session William c. Johnson of Newtown who was the president dur ing the last session will be asked to open the meetings this year!
 Senator L.. o. Peck, in speaking. of the Farmers association. said he be- lieved it was a good thing and that it would be doubly so this year in view of the fact that there are so many of the members of the House who are not in the best frame of mind over the committee appointments who would welcome the Opportunity of discussing the bills which are to come up in the open meeting.

KINGS LICENSE
 BILL IS PURELY
 A TAX MEASURE
Fairfield Legislator Introduces Several Pieces of Interesting
 Legislation
(specia1 to The Farmer.)


 Hartford, Jan. 3O.-Speaking of the measure which he has introduced into the House providing for an increase in the cost of liquor licenses Repre- sentative Clitus King of Fairfield said today:
 My measure provides for mini mum license fee of $500 for all towns under 5000 population and $750 for all towns over that figure. It is pure Iy a tax measure and is not introduced in the interest of any party or group or movement other than it is my be- lief that the measure is just and should become a law.
 ftIt will mean a gOodly additional sum to the towns, cities and counties of the state and there can be no ques tion but the additional revenue is cities and counties are constantly in creasing and the value of liquor li- censes has taken such a pronounced jump that if they keep on Jumping it will soon mean that the price will be prohibitiVe.
 s"Take a case in South Norwalk. I know a man who will gladly pay $4,- 900 for a license there and it is well known that there are no licenses to be had in the smaller towns at a fig ure much less. In Bridgeport, too, license in that city will probably bring today at least $2,5Oo and most likely $3,00O.
 This being the case believe that those who are fortunate enough to be the owners of licenses should not ob 5ect at paying the increased amount stated in the bill I have introduced" :"

HEAVY PENALTY FOR

Lawyers have found that it is exceed ing1y difficult to secure a conviction for other than simple assault in cases of this character owing to the appar- ent weakness of the statutes. The bill introduced by MT. King will re- move all doubt and will make these offences heretofore punished as as- sault come under the head of such crimes as mayhem.

ON-HEcFARLAND MATCH
 WOULD TICKLE THE FANS

Two years ago to-day, on Jan. 30, 1911, Packey Mcfarland and Jack Britton mingled in a ring at Meru- phis The stockyards champion eX- pected an easy victory over Britton. but, much to his surprise, Britton fought him to a standstill and Pack ey was lucky to get a draw at the end of the eighth round. Ever since then the fans have been clamoring for a return match. and it is now possible that Britton and Mcfarland will soon be seen in the same ring. Dumb Dan Morgan, Britton's manager, insists that Packey is afraid, and points to the fact that of late Mcfarland has been meeting only the easy marks. Britton, whose real name is William J. Breslin, is a very uneven perform er- At times he shows real cham pionship class, and in other bouts he looks like a rank amachure-" A few months after his fight with Me- Farland Britton went to the Pacific coast and was whipped by Jerry Mur- phy in four rounds A month later he took on Willie Ritchie for the same distance at San Francisco, and again lost Not long ago Jack met Jake Ahern of Albany at Brooklyn, and al many stages of the game was out elaSsed- Brftton was very disappoint- ing in this bout, but it cannot be de- nied that he is a classy man when he Is just right As Ritchie defeated Br1tton, Packey ought to, prove his class against Jack before demanding a match with the American light weight champion. Anyway, both Britton and Mcfarland belong in the welterweight division. A fight be- tween them would tickle the fans and would doubtless be a paying proposi- ton to the promoter Britton has lately been fighting in New Orleans- where he is immensely popular
