BELIEVE SALOONS
 WILL OPEN MONDAY
General Impression That the Bar tenders Will Be On the
 Job as Usual.

At the time of going to press our trade unionist brothers of the Bartend- CTS locals throughout the state, and throughout the country for that matter, are indu1ging in considerable speculation as to whether they'll be called upon to ring up the time clock Monday morn inging when July 1 and bonehead pro- hibition are scheduled to make a simu1- taneous apearance, or if they are really to be out of a job.
 There appears to be a strong feeling of optimism and it seems to be the gen era1 impression that the cafes will open Monday morning and endeavor to con- tinue in business on injunction proceed ings until President Wilson shall de- clare demobilization, which everybody appears to believe he will do as soon as the peace treaty is signed. If it is sign ed before Monday and the President makes the necessary declaration, then, of course, the injunction course will not be necessary
 In any event there seems to be strong belief that any man who desires to buy a drink July 1 will be able to do so in his usual place and manner.
 John F. Crosby United States District Attorney for Connecticut, has notified William A. King of Wil1imantic and Arnon A. filling of New Haven, coun- se1 for the Retail Liquor Dealers of Connecticut, that it is his duty to pro- ceed with the enforcement of the pro- hibition statute as of every other and that violations will result in prosecu- ton.
 The district attorney says he cannot make any agreement to suspend pro- secution pending decision on the bill He also says that if an injunction is secured i'll one jurisdiction the depart ment of justice will make no agree ment as to prosecution in other juris- dictions.

POLICE PETITION.
New Haven Peace Guardians
 Want an Eight-Hour Day.

A delegation of New Haven police men will attend the meeting of the police commissioners next Tuesday night and petition for an eight-hour day. There has been an agitation for this for a considerable period and one of the reasons is the high cost of living, which hits the policemen just as it does ordin- ary folk. The New Haven police work 10 hours day and they are about the only ones in New England that have such long day. According to some of the police, the chief of the depart ment has been opposed to an eight day but as he has had his pay just jack ed up to $4O0O year he may relent in his opposition to the just demand of the men.
