AGENTS HERE WORKING
 ON THE QUIET
Fail to Report to Police or Make Themselves Known
 As They Visit Saloons

If there were federal agents in Bridgeport today to inspect the sa- looms of the city and see that they are living up to the prohibition en- forcement law they kept out of sight remarkably during the forenoon, but the liquor dealers said today they were taking no chances and were selling nothing stronger than PTS per cent.
 While it was rumored' yesterday that federal revenue men would visit every town in the state today to se- cure evidence of violations of the law none could be found here today. Su- perintendent of Police John H. Red gate announced that none had been to see him during the morning and he had not received any reports of there being any revenue men in Bridgeport.
 It was reported that fifty had been assigned to the Park City to search for violations but liquor men believe that if there are any here at all there are not more than ten.

 FOR INJUNCTION
Claim Property Damage From Alleged Diversion
 of Water

As a result of the alleged diversion of water from the Frenchtown res ervoir of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co.,, two more petitions by North End residents asking for injunctions against the company were filed in the Superior court today.
 Ada K. Whyland, who owns land on Woodside avenue, which is about 5000 feet from the reservoir, says that the company has uniawfully di- verted the water and that a stream has covered her land to a depth of two or three feet. She wants the court to enjoin the company from continuing to divert the water. Dam ages of S1,500 are also asked.

OPPOSED TO ZONE SYSTEM
 SAYS EACAN
Denies Connecticut Labor Press Is Official Organ
 of Union Labor

John J. Eagan, president of the Central Labor Union of this city de- nies that the Connecticut Labor Press of New Haven, is the official organ of union labor, in this State, as was stated in an advertisement published in the Times yesterday.
 '~rhe Connecticut Labor Press is a or controlled by the labor unions of the State, nor does it represent the sentiment of the union men through out the State on the matter of the zone system and increase of fares by the Connecticut company said Pres ident Eagan, today, "the publication of the editorial from the Labor Press is camouflage and bunk and an at tempt to try to create the impression that the labor unions of the State are in favor of the zone system, when as a matter of fact the editorial who'll ly nisrepresents the sentiment of un- ion men on this question"
 Labor unions in Bridgeport are unanimously against the zone system and increased fares as will be shown at the monster protest meeting against the trolley zone system which the Bridgeport Central Labor Union has arranged to be held tomorrow after noon on the Plaza, at the foot of John street immediately after the parade of the police and fremen.
 "As this is a local protest all the speakers will be local men identified with the labor movement in this city and they will show that the labor unions are unanimously opposed to the zone system"

TO SIGN DEED IN 1878
 CAUSES A SUIT

A failure to properly sign copy of a deed away back in 1878 has made it necessary for Frank Miller and M. J. Jordan of this city to bring pro- ceedings in the Superior court to quiet title to a tract of 20 acres of land in Newtown. The action is started against Francis Coughlin of this city and the widow, heirs and representatives of James Coughlin.
 Miller and Jordan, who are engag- ed in the real estate business say they bought the property from George Stapleton in 1911. They later discov- cred the flaw in the title because James Coughlin signed a previous this land has since been made by deed instead of Francis Coughlin. It is said that no claim to interest in anybody representing the Coughl1n heirs.
