STRIKE BREAKERS
WORK UNDER BIG
GUARD OF POLICE

New London, Feb. 17-Under a
heavy police guard, half a, hundred
or more strikebreaIzers brought in by
the Central Vermont Railway last
night to replace strikebreakers driven
out of town last Tuesday by the strik-
ing freight handlers of the company,
were at work on the company's wharf
in East New London today. A force
of private detectives were on duty.
No disorder was reported during the
early morning and owing to the police
patrol, few strikers, it was said, were
in the vicinity of the plant.
The strikebreakers are housed on a
large steamboat near the wharf.
The freight handlers struck last
week for an increase in wages. 1t was
said today that they were willing to
so back to work but wanted to do SO
in a body. The company, it is finder
stood. is not ready to do this, but may
re-e1npIoy them if they apply as indli-
cviduaIs or in small groups,
Several of the men arrested as a re-
suit of the clash last Tuesday 1etween
the strikers and strikebreakeISs were
arraigned in police court today but
the cases were continued because sew
era1 persons whose testimony was de-
sired were unable to be on hand as
they are still confined to the hospital
by their injuries, suffered in the riot.
