nected with the gang of violence plotters, and their arrest thec6ed any plans which they may have enter tained for starting trouble in this city. It could not be learned today whether any more arrests have or will occur in Bridgeport in conn ection with tl1 e alleged Red" roundup.
 According to the nleagre informa> ton which could be obtained, last nights raids were planned in Wash ;lGlon a number Of weeks ago, and n=pped in the bud any schemes to celebrate the second anniversary Of the establishment of the Soviet gov ernment in Russia.
 The largest cleanup of alleged Reds in this state occurred in An. sonia, where 27 persons were arrest ed by Federal men last night. Six people were taken in Waterbury, and others were arrested In New Haven. Hartford and New Britain.

ZONE SYSTEM
 FINDS FRIEND
 GOODWIN KIND
Want Safety Zone E'stab- lished at Pickett's Switch
 Fairfield.

Reports by Manager Joseph Good win, Of the Connecticut company, this morning stated that cars under the zone system were running close to time and at no time during the rush Of the early morning hours were any cars on the principal lines more than five minutes off their schedule.
 It was reported here this morning that the Connecticut company would abandon the zone system in New Ha- ven this afternoon owing to the rush expected at the Yale bowl for the football game with Brown but Man ager Goodwin says that this Is untrue and that while the bowl Is in the two fare limits that owing to the big rush of traffic and to aid the public one payment cars will be run on this line for the football game.
 Rumor this morning also had 1t that a petition is going the rounds in Fairfield to establish a safety zone around Ptckett's switch. While the Connecticut company Is to q, certain extent in favor of such a thing they have not been asked to co-operate with the town authorities In having t established.
 Manager Goodwin stated this morn ing that the service was improving and he expected to see the improve ment in the system so marked that within a short time things would be running as smoothly as under the prepayment system.
 Asked what traffic reports were and how the public were riding on the zone system as against the extent of traffic under the old system he could not say but indications are that traf- fic Is lighter here now than it has been in some time. Against this the company points out that many pay
 more money so the returns are not less.

As permanent preventive of strikes which the committee con- cedes, ''are apparently the only way for labor to secure even it's just de- nlands if employers refuse to grant then,'' it is recommended that Con gress authorize the establishment Of some such mediation agency with well defined powers as the recently dis solved war labor board.
 This board would have the power of compulsory investigation" the re- port adds on this subject, but not to the extent of compulsory arbitration. 4 just decision of the board would be endorsed by the public. There is good sense enough in the American people to bring about an adjustment of these difficulties".
