STRIKE WEAPON
 CLAIM OF ROAD.

New Haven, Aug. 1.-Attorney Ben jarnin Spoc1x, appearing for the Con- necttcut company before the hearing of the ordinance committee, last night, quir1ng every motornan and condnc- tor to be given fifteen days instruc- tion on city cars before being allowed to operate a car in the city, on the ground that it was a concerted move of the Tro1Eeymen.9 unions to block the hiring of strike breakers in case of striEee on the car lines. He accuses the local union of acting with Water bury fn an attempt to secure the enect- ment in line with the same ruling in White Plains, and Yonkers. N. Y. It was an attempt, he said, to force the company to take back the strikers in time of conflict, and argued that none but union xnen were in favor of it. Do you propose to deliver the travel ing public to the strikers ?'' he asked. There is time coming when these matters must be looked at from the point of view of the pVblSc's interest With this regulation in force 1t would not be possible to bring Str4lFe break CT here Strike breakers are comps- tent men, and as we'll able to run a car as any skilled man on our lines
 A sharp tilt between Martin Breen, president Of the TToaieyrnens union and Attorney Spock took place when the former stfribqIted various accidents on the lines to the Eaok of competency of the men engaged in running the cars, a condition which would be rena~ edfed, he argued, if the ordinance com polling a dfteen-day trial were in op- eratfon He mentioned part5oCla a.rly nishap on Chapel street when the mo- to11nan lost the air brake and two cars coIlided MT Spoci and Chief Motor man Donahue argued that the accident might be due to a, defective car
 .If 1t was,'' said MT. Breen, why was the motorTnan discharged the next day2''
 MT. spock said that the man had had fifteen days instruction, and Mir. Breen questioned the justice of dis charging the man for defective car.

hrexnpIe and going up to the broken water crock, set to work on 1t with a will and soon had it mended. So well was it mended that all Peach Blossom had to do do was to hH 13 with water.
 Then off she. went fns her poor torn clothes to the pScnic. She looked so beautiful so sad, so gentle that she attracted tho attention of every one there. and in spite of her step4no5her's ugly looks, enjoyed her self immensely.
 Time slipped awsy until another gala day came round. Once more the gtap- mother decided to betaaDe herself and her own daughter to the games and feast but this tfnns M1ne determined that there should not be any mistake That mo slip should occur betwixt the cup and the lip she would make certain Her despiSed little stepdaugh- ter should neither find her way to the feasttng nor distract the attention Of all from her own onspr1ng. So she called Peach-blosson to her and said:
 ..Come here! You see all this deTd2 ? You must hoe out every weed in dt' and do not let me sec one growing there by my return
 As soon as she was left alone, Peach blossom set to work to weed the field. The attempt was vain. It was tnpos- sibIe for her little hands to clear this one field in a great number Of days, let alone in one day
 While she sat down and wepf bitter Iy a great black COW came out of the woods and ate up all the weeds. Bid ding Peach blossom to follow careful Iy in her footsteps, the COW led the trusting and grateful little maid into the forest. Presently they came to a place where there was an abundance of beautiful ripe, luscious fruit. Ghe COW told her to gather and bo eat thereof and thence to wend her way to the febe-
 Peach-bIossom did as she was bid, and gathering abundant1y of the fruit, as she was very hungry, appeaSed her appetite to her hearts content. Then she bent her footsteps to the festival, where she was received by every one as a most welcome guest.
 She seemed bo have grown ten thou sand times more beautiful than ever she had appeared before. People were struck dumb with her beauty and won dered to see so marvellous a change Tn the gentle, modest little maid Princes and high officials surrounded her. Her fame became known far and near even even to the countries sur rounding the little, Hermit. Kingdom.
 After .the feast her jealous stepsisteT asked her how she had become so beantfful; but lfr1e Peach-blosom could not tell, for she did not know the great change that had come over 'sfar.

Many, many hundreds of years ago, even before Korea became the little Hermit Kingdom even before it was named the Land of Morning Calm, " Peach blossom, 2 the Cinderella of the East, was born
 Soon after her birth she lost her mother Her father. after the days Of mourning were over, took unto him another wife who had an only daugh- ter.
 This stepmotf1er was lznkind and cruel to poor Peach blossom and gave her all the menial work to do. On all the great festival and gala days she set her some almost impossible task to ensure her absence from the festival
 Things went from bad to woTise. From daughter of the house to rnenia1, from menial to drudge, little Peach blossom drifted. No one asked about her. nobody cared what became of her. Disffked, hated. every indignity heaped upon her, iu-fed, i1l-clothed, her lot was more than unhappy.
 Still time passed and things never seemed to better themselves, when one day as usual her stepmother started off with her own daughter to a picnic; but before leaving, she said:

 The poor little n1adden came quickly at the sound of that dreaded voice, and the wicked stepmothef continued:

She became suddenly unconscious of rushing sound of many wings and twittering, which, as the beating of wings ceased, became so ctamorous that she had to put her fingers into her ears until she could get more accustomed to it.
 Then looking around her she saw such a. flock of little finc1les all chat tering and fluttering about the rice that she ,rfeared that they would take 1t all away But mo- the little birds had come to take compassion on her, and in a thrice had hI1s1Ied all the rice and put it into the bag.
