Sheriff Hugo Will Be Asked
For Deputies in Case
Some Strikers Return.

Ansonia, Feb. 25.-With torrents of
rain falling. the city's streets were

Business men and Mayor Schu-

will come next Monday morning when
the mills are re-opened and a part
of the strikers try to return. There is
one element among the strikers which
has declared that no one will be per-
grants the full increase. This element
is of one nationality and is composed
of about Is per cent. of the whole
number of strikers.
Because of the uncompronlising at
titude of the leaders of this element
Mayor Schumacher is preparing for
eventualities. Today it is understood
that he talked with High Sheriff Hugo
about arrangements for having an ad-
equate number of deputies here early
Monday or possibly Sunday night. The
company has brought in more guards
and it is probable that the volunteer
firemen,- who were sworn in as special
officers and have guarded the mills at
night will not be needed in that ca
pacity again
The company now has enough
guards to hold all the entrances to the
several mills Although there was
little evidence of strike conditions to-
dav it was known that the authorities
were quietly preparing for trouble in
case it should come with the reopen
ing of the mills.
