(By Our Staff Correspondent. )


 Shelton, Jan. 19--Offfcials of Shell ton, Derby and Ansonia, the mill
 guards. the strikers and in fact every
 citizen of the towns surrounding the strike zone at Shelton, are looking forward with the greatest anxiety to- day to the result of the strike confer ence,. which is being held with Sidney Blum menthal, present in Shelten today.
 So sure are all those concerned that some way of settling the present diff culties by having, as the Farmer has heretofore intimated, a committee from the I. w w. strike board pres ent, will be found, that Secretary John Kuzznoski awaits in SokoI Hall at the press hour intimations from Mayor Sullivan that Sidney Blumenthaf, owner of the millss has consented to meet the strikers in preliminary nego-. tiations for arbitration, or other sst- t1ement
 When it was learned, through Pros prietor Kennedy, lessee of two local moving picture houses in Derby, that the officials of the town had notified him the strikers could not be address ed there yesterday9 Mayor Sullivan was strikers. where he was asked what he meant
 In all fairness Mayor Sullivan point ed out that the town of Derby feared rioting and disorder from the meet ings. Miss Matilda Rabinowitz, head of the 1. w. w. movement there, ask ed where the strikers should meet, and when it was pointed out to the executive that more trouble would be brewed by public demonstrations in the streets rather than in halls where all heretofore had been quiet and orderly, the order was at once res cinded and the meetings permitted.
 T ff7xaf A 1esTa der Havrilla. the farmer who received the terrific beating over the heaDd a week ago Saturday, had yesterday gone violently and to all a3peaIances, permanently, insane, a result of his experience. The authorities, ye6ter- day. upon learning from the Evening Farmer the extent of his injuries at Griffin hospital, at once ordered the re-arrest Of his alleged assadlant. Frank Pinto, who had heretofore been at large under bonds of but $200, and though his lawyer, Alfred c. Bald win, suggested sSQnds or $500 for his rlease, Judge Dilfe@ after conf ference with Dr. F. A. EaffSc~ set the bonds at s3, 000 which up to the hour of press had not been furnished, though l monentari1y expected.
 To a, reporter for fhe Evening FSar-.l mer, Dr. Elmes stated that HayriEla, l while appar ently recovering his phys icaI health, was hopelessly and vio- lently insane, constantly crying out | in fear Of his life: Don't Init me! Don't hit mel
 As there is no adequate quarters in | Griffin hospital where he can longer be kept in a straight jacket, as has l been necessary since yesterday morn | ing the authorities have been asked ! to appoint a commission to determine | his insanity and commit him to an asylum.
 As result of the dance given by E the Central Labor Union at Ansonia, Saturday night, the treasury of the f strikers was today increased by $f5. | A ball for the benefit of the strikers Is to@be given by the SlaviSh society, r. on January 24.
 One O'Brfen Guard, named Kemp, + to have inspired the beating F of Havril1a by the statement There goes the man who threw the rock,'' is today said to have left Shelton, ac- ,ording to authorities who have sought him to ascertain the facts in he case.
 Another factory emp1oye. last SatuI-- lay night is reported to have passed through a most trying experience, and had 8 narrow escape from beating at the hands of a number of trikers armed with hickory clubs. Cornelius O'Brien, engineer. at the mills, is said to have been on his way lonne when a pedestrian noticed that trikers awaited him at all thorough ares-Third, Fourth and Fifth Sts- eading to- his home. Notification was ,iven the local police, with the result hat O'Brien was conducted home un- Ter escort and none were found to vaylay him.
