 NEVER MISSED IT

While patroling his beat along Rail- road avenue about 10:30 o'clock this morning, Patrolman John Carroll of the Third precinct discovered a piano box lying in the road under the rail- road viaduct at the corner of Fair- field and Railroad avenues.

The box re- fused to budge, however, and upon closer investigation Carroll founps that it contained one perfectly good up- right piano. He telephoned the news of his find to the Third precinct sta tion, and requested that somebody get busy and hunt up the owner of the instrument.
 About 15 minutes later a large mo- tor truck driven by a wildly excited man appeared under the viaduct The driver inquired anxiously of the po- Hceman whether he had seen any, thing of a piano which he, the driver had lost off his truck somewhere be- tween Westport and the corner ot Fairfield avenue and Main street. The officer set the mans mind at ease concerning the lost piano, and in a few moments more men appeared and gave the driver hand in reload ing the instrurn ent, which was not damaged by it's fall.

MEN FEAR BLACK
 LIST
One of Driving Forces Steadily Breaking
 Strike.

New York, April 26-Fear of a black list which would bar them per manent1y from employment appeared to. be one of the driving forces today behind the steady breakup Of the ra1l- way workers strike reported by rail- road officials.
 Although no hint of such 6 plan has come from the managers, possiz2. bi1ity of it's adoption was discussed freely by some strikers after they 1earned at a mass meeting last night that nine locals of the Broth herhood of Railroad Trainmen in the New York-New Jersey district had lost their union charters by action Iot Brotherhood officials Some of the strikers predicted that the next act of the railroads which already de- prived strikers of their seniority privileges will be an edict against re- employment of those still out. Officials of the lines continued today their op- tin1istic statements of last week that tradice; was fast returning to normal and that the effects of the strike soon would wholly disappear.
 The predicted strike of engineers on the Lackawanna railroad failed to develop this morning, according to officials of the road, who stated that passenger service was normal and freight service improving hourly.

 Causes.

The fact that John H. Dellmuth, d Milford truckman, had his motor truck equipped only with oil lights on the night that John Price was struck in Stratford, does not. amount to criminal negligence, Coroner Phe- Ian reported today in his finding in the case of Price, who died April 16.

 On the night of the fatality, Price was riding a bicycle on a dark road in Stratford, near Hard's corner. II was raining at the time and Dellmuth claimed he could not see Price 1T the road until it was too late to avoid hitting him. Dellmuth said his gas lights had burned out and he was using oil lamps until he reached a garage in Devon. A companion of Price. who was IS years old, testified that Price was carrying a bundle of coal on his back and riding a bicycle. He shouted to Price when he saw the truck but the victim could not steer his bicycle to one side quick enough
