STREET RAILWAY STRIKE
 FOR HIGHER PAY

Chicago, July 29-Fffteen thousand street railway employees went on strike for higher wages at o'clock this morning, completely tying up the surface and elevated systems of the city.
 The companies made no attempt to run cars, and workers depended on steam railways. automobiles and other vehicles to reach their places of business. Early last night heads of the unions and officials of the street railway companies reached an agreement to fix the wages of the men at approximately 65 cents an hour and grant an eight hour day with time and a half for overtime.
 It was thought this action would avert a walk out, but at a mass meet ing shortly before midnight, the men repud!ated the statement and em- ployes voted to strike at a. m. to- day

Bridgeport WiII Drink Near Beer Breweries Refuse to Sell Any Stronger
 Beverage. STOPPED SALE OF
 2.75 YESTERDAY Action Taken on Advice Of Conn. Liquor Dealers
 Association.

Bridgeport Is on a "noar-beer7 diet. With the breweries refusing to sell any drink containing more than one half of one per cent. Of alcohol, the saloons have been forced, in the in stances in which the proprietors de- rired to remain open. to put the non- intoxicating beverage on the shelves and today in upwards of 100 cafes in the city, customers were being offered the numerous brands of near beer" The sale of PTS per cent. beer off, cially stopped yesterday upon advice of the Connecticut Liquor Dealers Association.
 It took G considerable part of yes terday for Thomas F. Flynn, local president of the Liquor Dealers As sociation, to get the word circulated that the state association had decided ct New Haven to advise a. complete closing. Until the official word had been given out by the local head, many of the saloons were selling PTS per cent. beer and some continued business through yesterday and last night, serving this drink at the clos ing hour for the last time. This morning 1t was impossible to find a saloon in which drinks could be se- cured over the bar.
 In some instances it was found that
 dealers were today sending out stock
 for delivery through the city. In ex-
 blaming this move it was stated that
 the goods were being sent out on or
 ders received prior to the announce ment of Attorney Crosby for general closing and that due to the rush of business it had been impossible to make all deliveries. It Is the conten-
 ton of the dealers who have such or
 ders that inasmuch as the sale of 2.75 nprr3oittad hu a authorities until a decision had been
 rendered, all orders received for the goods will be sanctioned as well as the sales actually completed before
 the decision was made.
 Detective Captain Cronan stated this morning that following the re- quest of the United Statest officials
 for the cooperation of the local de- partment, evidence had been secured and this had been furnished for a large number of cases to the Dis trict Attorneys office in Hartford and would soon be presented to a. Federal
 Grand jury.

Danbury Gets Permission To
 Sue Railway For Paving Fund
WILL THUS PUT LIEN ON. TROLLEY PROPERTY AND CONSERVE CITY'S INTEREST-SOLE
 AIM OF SUIT.

On the ground that the Danbury & Bethel Street Railway Co. has no funds with which to pay for its share of street paving. the city of Danbury, this morning obtained permission from Judge Wheeler of the Superior court to sue the trolley company.
 It was explained that the suit will be brought solely to give the city a chance to put lien on the trolley company's property and thereby pro- tect the citys interests. It has been arranged by Reicever Ives of the trolley company and the city that the city shall pay all costs for the paving and later be reimbursed by the troll ley company for it's share of the work.
 As it is considered necessary to have the, paving done at thiss.time c the present action was brought be- fore the court.
