The suit is closely related to the one In which MT. Gallup was the defendant on the day previous, inaSmuch as the assault is claimed to have occurred while Mitchell was at the BorgesSon place at the request of officials of the town of Plainf1eld and in his official capacity, to see that men who were removing a stone wall barricade for the town were not interfered with The plaintiff claims that while trying to protect the fence from destruction the alleged assault took place and that she was seized by the arms by the de- fendant and shaken violently. This Is denied by MT. Mitchell, who, in dis cussing the case, says that he was threatened with a shovel by one of the Borgesson boys.
 Attorney Charles V. James of Nor wich represented the plaintiff, Attorney A. G. Bill of Danielson and Attorney Charles E.. Searls of Putnam the de- fendant.

FIFTY-FVE HOUR SCHEDULE.
Becomes Effective in Silk Industries June 2nd-Confornns to New Stat ute.

Commencing Monday. June 2, a 55- hours per week working schedule will become effective at the plant of the Hammond KnOwlton company, the Eureka Silk company, the Hampton Silk company and the Putnam Box company, allied industries in the silk business in this city.
 In response to an inquiry as to whether this action was anticipating the coming of the proposed new fifty five hour law, Superintendent John c. Johnson of the Hammond Knowlton company said Wednesday afternoon that in certain sense, it was, but the action would have been taken any way. The talked-of law is not yet on the statute books of Connecticut.
 At present all the plants referred to work on a schedule of 5S hours a week. The change and reduction in working time does not indicate that business is slack, for just the revers is the case. but is a step forward iI the generally progressive policy of tho management of the concerns
 Under the new working arrange ment the operatives will go in at ' a. m, working, with the usual time for lunch. ten hours on each of thG five first working days of the week. and five hours on Saturday.
 The silk industries here give em- ployment to a large number of young woman operatives so the change will be appreciated by them.

NEW OIL WAWoN.
Used on the Streets Wednesday,
 Gives Prime Satisfaction.

The eity's new wagon for eiling the streets was used under the direction of Street Superintendent Sullivan for the first time Wednesday. The streets in the center of the city running off Main street to Valley street were given an oil dressing; the new oil wagon giving splendid satisfaction The first oiling is of a heavier spray than will be necessary on subsequent treatments. The relief from the dust is greatly appreciated by the mer- chants and citizens. With the flush ing of Main street in the business center twice a week and the additional sprinkling by the street car company to the city line, if the city council should insist that the trolley company should comply with the provisions of the statutes, will in a large measure, solve the dust problem of Williman- ties main thoToughfares.
