will inevitably result if the railroads
should be tied up by general strike :
'The right to strike has heretofore been
recognized in our laws, particularly in
certain provisions of the Clayton act
Those laws should be modified and strikes
of employees ON railroads engaged in inter

New London. Oct. 21.-The. New Lon- don police departmefft has, been very much in the fioodlight for the past two wears. occasioned by the removal ot two of the best heads the department ever had. the jumping of an officer to the captaincy over the heads of fully as competent and more experienced oiiccrs, the attempt of the police com rittee to fire one of the cops because he failed to report street light out on a certain night. the creation of three additional sergeants, and last but not least. an increase of substantial amount ia the pay of every man on the force. It was then that the flood light was dim1ned and the police work went on with apparent satisfaction to the officers, the mayor and the police committee.
 This week there was just a little ripple that indicated a feeling Of dis satisfaction in the department, as all hands wanted another increase in pay of about 4S1O a month, eight hours a day duty with a couple of days of month. in addition to a two weeks va. ation during the year. The men or 'he force held a meeting and appoint rd a committee to make their little wants known to the police committee, and the result was that the police committee of the court of common council turned down the proposition for more pay and less service. The committee ot the officers was then in structed to bring the matter before Mayor Morgan. The mayor listened He ;hen informed the committee that i7 view nf the big budget of the year it was not expedient to ask the tax, i,.yers to come across with additional coin 10 give the cops more pay.
