Hat Shop Co., Inc. of Norwalk to prevent the union matters from stopping the delivery of hat bodies to the Norwalk factory will be car ried to the Supreme Court of Errors, it was announced today.

SOLDIERS WHO RISKED LIVES TO FIND FEVER CURE GET NO REWARD
Had Been Promised High Honors and Compensation Mine Bridgeport Boys Among Those Who, It Is Charged Were Misled

Promised the Distinguished Service Medal and other high honors and rewards by gov ernment officers if they voIun- teered to subject themselves to trench fever inoculations, it is charged that Connecticut sol diers, among them being nine Bridgeport youths, after sacri- ficing their health for the wei fare of the army, were left to shift for themselves, given no adequate compensation and discharged from the army un- rewarded.
 It is alleged by Harry Morley, son Of e New Milford publisher, that many of the soldiers-they all be- longed to the Yankee Division, have, since their discharge. suffered a re- lapse of the disease. At least one of the soldiers. John ElIiano of this city, has been compelled to seek treatment at St. Vincent's hospital.

 He ran a high temperature but his condition improved to such an extent on July 29 as to permit his discharge from the hospital. He is under ob- servation by Dr. Trecartin and Major M. s. Smith, director of the United States public health service for the district including Connecticut The former said that the fever was still in Ellfano's system, but that 1t might wear out in time. The government says he is only 0 per cent disabled.

LAvIT'S FATE WILL BE
 DECIDED WHEN TRIVIAL
 BODIES HOLD MEETINGS
Those Loyal to Ousted Strike Leader Will Meet in Colonial Eall-Believe New Union of Workers Will Result Tonight.

Tonight's meetings Of the Machinists will determine whether the members of the old lodge No. 30 are still loyal to Business Agent Lavit or have been won over by the Grand lodge officials who have been hard at work for the past week trying to get the members to join the new local No. 116.
 The old local No 30 will hold it's meeting at Colonial hall on Fairfield avenue and the new Local No. 116 will hold its meeting at Eagles hall.
 At the meeting in Colonial hall a new financial secretary to succeed David Clydesdale who has gone over to the Davison camp, and recording secretary to succeed H. L. Smith, who also has left No. 30, will be elected for the balance of the term.
 The status of No. 30 will be legally defined by it's attorney, Hugh J. La very, who has already given the opin- ion that Local No. 30 Is the only legal Machinists' Union in Bridgeport, and that the members cannot be dropped from the organization until their ap- peal has gone before the entire mem bership of the union throughout the country.
 Lavit is still in possession of the Machinists' headquarters and local No. 30 intends to hold on until the expiration of their lease on March 1, 1920.
 Two members, Ernest Prouse and John Hartz, slept in the quarters last night to ward off any surprise attack and a number of the members have agreed to sleep there nights until matters are settled.
 No injunction was issued yesterday to the Grand Lodge as it was discov- cred that the members who had sign ed a lease to the Grand Lodge had exceeded their powers and that under the original lease of the property they had no right to sub-let the premises.
 Although the officials of the Grand Lodge had announced that the charter of Local No. 30 had been revoked the local was recognized last night by the same officials when they re-

 Passed By
 His Signal
Coroner F'inda Freight, Fla tality Caused By Drowsi-
 ness of Brickley.
FLAGMAN GAVE
 EXTRA WARNING

That the action of Engineer Henry Brick1ey in passing two signals set against him and driving his train into another freight train at East Port chester, N. Y, on July 31, was due to the drowsiness of the engineer while on duty is the finding of Coroner Phe- Ian made public today.
 No witness could be found who ac- tually saw Brickley sleeping but two witnesses said they observed him re- clining back in his seat with his head in a position as if he were sleeping. He was found in that same position after the wreck.
 In view of the evidence the coro- ner finds that Brickley came to his death because of the joint gross neg igence of himself and Gates B. Rust, an instructor who was riding in the electric motor and was also killed.
 Brickley was 39 years old and lived in New London. On the night of the fatality he drove a freight train from Midway to New Haven and from there an electric motor displaced a steam locomotive At New Haven Gates B. Rust was placed on the motor as in structor because Brickley was not fla miliar with the route to New York.
 The train was going at Q speed of about 20 miles an hour when it passed through Greenwich. It passed a yell low caution signal and a short dis tance beyond that passed a red signal get at danger. About roo feet beyond this last signal the train crashed into another freight train on the same track. Brickley and Rust were killed but there were no other fatalities.
 John J. Braz, a f1agman from the train which was struck by Brickley' s motor testified that he waved a red lantern and shouted he saw the train coming but the oncoming train did not slacken speed.

Boston. Aug. 12-Confidence that the end of the mechanics strike and the consequent re- sumption of normal service on the New England railroad would be brought about within few days was expressed by railroad officials here today.
 Strike leaders would make no comment on the action of the shop men in Manchester and Nassau, \. H.. to returning to work, other than to declare that the men will act finally a body and that there will be no return before Saturday, if a ma aiority of other locals took a sinil- ar stand.
 Under the balloting arrangement the real sentiment of the men will not be known definitely until Friday when the results of all the New Eng land voting will be reported at joint meeting here of the locals ex- ecutive boards.
 New York, Aug. 12-Passenger ser vice into New York over lines of the New York. New Haven & Hartford R. R. today was unchanged, and 1t was said that the public was appar- ently adjusting itself to conditions. Commuters continued to crowd al local trains but other travellers are using the Sound boats wherever il Is possible and the congestion on the railroad has been relieved.
 The service on the Harlem River branch of the line has been partly re- sumed, the shutting off of these trains on Sunday having been due to the enormous holiday rush which made opera tion fmpracticable.
 The embargo on non-perishable foodstuffs for human consumption and feed for live stock was lifted las. night and they may now be shipped over the lines of the company.
