 SEEKING WORK
Fred A. Fish Was Member of Well Known Bridge
 port Family.

Fred A Fish of 2.750 Fairfield ave- nue and Frederick R. Fish of 26 King street, father and brother, respective iy, of Irving c. Fish, the young man who died at St. Vincent's hospital Thursday as the result of internal in juries received in falling under a train in the East End yards Wednes- day night, were surprised to learn this morning when reading the public prints that the victim was a man of mystery.
 The dead man as well as his rela- lives have been residents of Bridge port for many years. Frederick R. Fish, brother, is a well known public accountant and bookkeeper, residing at 26 King street, and Frederick A. Fish, father, is a resident of 2,750 Fairfield avenue.
 Irving c. Fish, the victim, has been employed by the Remington Arms Company for the past three years as engineer, except of a period of about six months during which time he was in the army. He was recently dis charged from the army and returned to his position with the Arms Com pany. On last Tuesday he left the Arms Company and on arriving home told his brother with whom he was living that he was going to apply for a job with the Lake Torpedo Boat Company. He left the house at 26 King street in the afternoon and was injured early Wednesday, morning in the railroad yards as he was riding a switch engine.
 Fish told his relatives at the hos pita1, who were all with him before he died, that the accident occurred while he was on his way to interview the master mechanic and apply for a job. He stated that some protrud- ing obstacle knocked him off of the switch engine under the train.
 The deceased is survived by a wife and child who were with him at the time of his death.

It confirms des- patches of June ', expressing the de- termination of the allies to end "use- less bloodshed," and determining that the Hungarian army fighting on Czecho-Slovakian territory retire inn mediately behind the frontiers fixed for Hungary. The Hungarians were given four days from June fl to obey. the telegram to Bella Kun saying that the allies twill consider themselves free to take any proper measures to assure just peace" if the ultima tum is not complied with.
 Bella Kun, replying, under date of June 16, says, according to the des- patch, that the Hungarian govern ment has suspended hostilities as re- .quested, but that in view of the present situation on the Czecho-Slo- vakian front, it is impossible to fe- call attachments of Hungarian troops and evacuate the territory in the time fixed by M. Clemenceau. In order to satisfy the entente, however Bella Kun says he has asked the Rumanian and Czecho-S1ovakian governments to send military delegates to Hungarian headquarters or elsewhere to discuss reasons for the evacuation. The re- Ply of the Soviet foreign minister con- cludes with a request that the entente take steps with the Rumanians and Czecho- -S1ovaks to stop b1oodshed and end the conflict on the frontier.
