MACHINISTS TO STAY OUT
Policeman wounded in Yesterdays Riot Expected to Recoyer-No Dis turbances Today-Condftions NOW Seem to Be Much Improved.

Waterbury. June 22.-Waterbury was outwardly quiet today after strike riots yesterday which resulted in the death of one st striker, serious injury to two police officers and minor injuries to scores of others. More than Soo armed state and city guardsmen were stationed at strategic points.
 Troops in Readiness.
 A strong guard was thrown about the plant of the Scoville Mfg. Co. III Bridge street, where the police ana city guard fought with strikers ana sympathizers yesterday. State guard battalions at New Haven, Hartford and Mcriden were held in readiness by order of Major General Lucien F. Burpee of Hartford. They were sub feet t6 the call of either Mayor Will liam H. Sandland or Sheriff Thomas l.. Reilly Of New Haven county.
 The strike of unskilled brass work CTS and machinists has been in prog ress here for several weeks. More than 14, 900 men are involved, accord ing to union estimates.
 Conditions Arc Improved.
 However. strike conditions here seemed to have taken turn for the better today. Luigi Scalmana, presi- dent of the New England Workers association, the body of unskilled workers of the brass factories who have been on strike for ten weeks issued a notice to the strikers that married men would be permitted to return to work, while single men must remain out
 MacIiniSts Won't Return.
 This action on the part of the one man who has had much authority over the unskilIed strikers is expect cd to decrease the number of unem- ployed by many hundreds. It may have no mediate effect. however on the strike of the machinists in the factories. The latter are now recetv- ing strike benefits and claim to he able to stay out indefinitely.
 No Gatherings Today 2;
 There were no gatherings on the streets near the factories this morn- ing and an observer would not note anything out of the ordinary, except at several places state guardsmen were on duty. The entire city battal- ion of the guard was still on duty, having been called upon last night for protective service. The details were at the armory, around the electric light plant, and at the municipal building. The rest were held in re- serve at the armory.
 Wounded Will Recover.
 There have been no street disturb ances or strikers gatherings since the one at noon yesterday in which shots were fired. 4 hospital bulletin this morning stated that the condition of Police Lieutenant Richard Leroy and of Lieut.. John J. Bergin of the Scovill company's force was much inn proved. Both men are expected to recover.

The Veterans Of Foreign Wars
of the United States, through its
national council Of administration,
has taken forward action in de-
claring in favor Of universal mill
tary training as the most effective
means, not only for national pre-
paredness for war, but as a pre-
ventive of future wars. It was to
be expected Of an organization of
veterans, whose members have
been under fire in every war in
which this nation has participated
in the last twenty-one years, that
its representatives would be
against war, for no real soldier
loves war for its own sake. They
have tasted Of its horrors to the
full and know the emptiness Of its
glory.
But as soldiers, who have fought
and campaigned in Cuba, the
Philippines, China, France and
many other places, they realize
that preparedness Is the best pre-
ventive of war. As Colonel F.
Warner Karling, Of Kansas City,
commander-in-chief Of the v. F.

The physician gave her a very

ex-service men, as a whole, want to

did our part when the country called
us; now II il our turn to call for the

rush into action would be the most
effective deterrent Of any inva-
sion of this country by any power,
no matter how large, in Europe
or elsewhere"
So, too, the sober second thought
Of the nation will indorse the
action Of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars council in opposing the re
moval of our hero dead from
France and the counter-suggestion
that their bodies lie where they
fell, while the nation establishes
there q great national cemetery,
like that at Arlington, with memo
rails to honor their sacrifice.
And we believe, too, that the
people Of the nation generally
will approve the stand Of the real
veterans Of recent American wars
in favor of memorial buildings as
. community's tribute to the hero
dead rather than the archaic and
unartistic statues with which the
country was cursed after the civil
and the Spanish wars. The me-
mortal building honors both the
living and the dead. 1t provides a
home and meeting place for the
former and tribute to the latter.
The soldier statue belongs to q
past age. The memorial building
is q combination of art and utility,
essentially American, that will
best honor the heroes who made
the supreme sacrifice and their
surviving comrades.
