WHY STRIKES ARE DISLOYAL

TT HE RECENT disturbance among the machiniss and tool 1 makers of Bridgeport hardly amounts to a strike It rather suspension of work for the purpose of discussion and for the purpose of attracting sharply the attention of Federal authorities
 Nevertheless The Times regards this suspension consequence of poor leadership hurt the country gained nothing for the men.

QUESTIONS MEN
 CAPTURED UNDER LAW FOR LOAFERS

New York. July 1-Between.7 and 800 men were questioned, in what the district attorney described as the first of an indefinite number of raids for the strict enforcement of the states new anti-loafng law" in the White light district of the city be- tween midnight and 3 a. m. today. About 150 men were, subpoenaed to appear at the prosecutors office, as they had failed to give satisfactory reasons for their presence in pool rooms and similar resorts along Broadway and elsewhere.
 Not only does the state statute pro- vide that men between the ages of IS and 50 must be employed at least 36 hours a week at something useful, but the federal work or fight order, af- fecting men of draft age, also en- ables the district attorney, he said, to conduct crusades he has planned against idlers.

ASKS COURT TO
 STOP DAUGHTER
 SPENDING MONEY
Mother Complainant Before Judge Kellogg to Recover
 Estate Signed Over.

Judge Kellogg held a special ses- sion in the superior court this morn ing to dispose of several matters that were on the short calendar list and had been adjourned to this date. Prominent among them was the peti- tion for an injunction to prevent a daughter from disposing of $4O,0 given to her by her mother which was to have been returned on demand. When the demand was made the cash was not forthcoming.
 This was the case of Mrs. Frances Villas Carpenter against MT. and Mrs. Bertram Shapleigh. Mrs Carpenter attached jewelry and Liberty bonds about to be converted to the sum of 5000 belonging to the husband, CO., defendant in the case with his wife. Sannon & Wilder, attorneys for Mrs Carpenter, were before Judge Kel- logg, asking for a temporary injunc- tion restraining the defendants from using any part of this money.
 Attorney David Day, who repre- scented the defendants, argued that the plaintiff had already started a suit. in equity in the courts of New York and cited a number of decisions to show that the court in which an action is first brought, is the court which has jurisdiction and that no matter what proceedings were taken here it could step in and render them void at any time. He also said that the supreme court had decided that irreparable injury must be shown in order to get an injunction in a case of this kind.
 Judge Wilder argued that all three of the parties in interest were resi- dents of Connecticut and that the plaintiff, who resided in Darien, should be allowed to take such legal measures as were necessary to pro- tect her interest as the statutes of this statep rovided. He also stated that Mrs. Shapleigh had threatened to do away with the money and in fact her own husband had testified to that effect. Judge Kellogg took the papers.
