LOCAL MEN NOT
 TO ATTEND MEET

Railroad workers in the Bridge port yards and shops will not be rep resented by local delegates at the hearings today with officials of the New Haven road on the proposed wage reductions. Announcement was definitely made this morning, coun- termanding previous action that had been contemplated.
 It was explained that practically every railroad worker in Bridgeport is a member of a railroad union or brotherhood and almost without ex- ception are members of New Haven locals Separate locals have not been established in this city because of the comparatively small membership with the result that all railroad men are in the New Haven locals which will name the delegates to represent all members, irregardless of location.

But now it was midnight and
Belle lying in her little bed was
feeling very sick indeed. She was
now sorry that she had eaten the
pie. She began to cry quietly so
that nobody could hear her. She
cried until she cried herself to sleep.
She dreamed that a big black
goblin stood, before her gazing at her
with his piercing black eyes. Sud-
denly he picked her up, placed her
on his back, and flew through the
air. Belle was very frightened but
dared not cream.
At last they arrived at a big black
marble palace. Here the goblin ar
ried her into a big hall. In the
middle of the hall stood a big throne
and on the throne sat the king of
the COLLINS.
The goblin that had brought Belle
here, and whose name was Raven,
now set her down on the floor, and
fell on his knees before the king and
said:
Your majesty, I have brought you
another of these unfortunate mortal
children who do not obey their par
ents. What shall we do with her?"
The king gazed at Belle sternly,
and cried out in a loud voice,
Bring her into the Black Dun
geon."
Just as he said this the hall began
to shake and Belle, who was just go
ing to cry, found herself on the floor
in her own little room.
She.was very thankful that it was
only a dream and resolved that she
would always do as mother and
father told her to.

SIMILARITY OF NAMES
RESULTS IN COURT SUIT

Suit has been instituted In tne
United States District Court BY
American Hosiery Company of Con-
necticut to restrain the American
Hosiery Company of this city
the further use of the name. Inc
plaintiff is represented by McCarter
and English of Newark and the de-
PENDANT by Counsellor Jacob s. kar-
kus of this city.
According to the plaintiff the Con-
necticut firm was incorporated on
July s. 1868. for the manufacture OF
underwear and hosiery. On August
8. 1920, the Perth Amboy concern
having the same name was formed.
Although the Connecticut firm pro-
tested in the use of its name by the
local company the company has not
changed the name and this brought
about the present suit.
The defendant in its answer alleges
that although the names are alike
the labels are entirely distinct o
the other concerns, and that it does
business wholly in the counties OF
Middlesex, Monmouth. Union and
Somerset. The defendant also denies
that any confusion and loss will oc-
cur in the future by reason of the
similarity of names.

STORY WRITING
BY THE CHILDREN

Little Miss Dora Omanson, or 1913
Fayette street, has written a story
for publication in the Evening News.
1t is entitled Bellies Dream" and It's
interesting plot gives great promise
for this youthful author. The Even
ing News will be glad to publish
other stories and signed by little
BOYS or girls residing in the city.
These may be mailed or brought to
the Evening News office at n time.
The following is Miss Omanson's
story:
Bellies Dream
Belle had been a very naughty
little girl that day. Her mother had
baked a pie and had told her not to
eat it until it cooled off. She ex-
planned to Belle that hot cakes and
pies are not good for little girls
tummies.
But Belle had not paid any atten-
ton to kind mammals advice and
when had gone out of the
kitchen, had broken off a piece OF
ME and nae eaten it.
The pie was very good and Bellies
conscience did not prick her for dis
obeying mamma.

WHAT DOUG SAYS:
A mans first duty is to himself.
! By developing himself to his great
est possibilities he is enabled TO
more fully serve others.
Walking three blocks sometimes
tires me out. If it is in a crowd l
never for a moment relax my
muscles. Let O small boy feel my
arm and find it flabby and he would
turn from me in disgust. The small
boy conceives me as a strong a
an athlete, and it is my obligation
to him not to disillusion him.
The larger a community grows,
the smaller the development of the
individual. The buildings shut in a
mans perspective of life. A man
getting out into the open where he
can realize just how big and how
small he is.
Children should be allowed to
grow up naturally. They should be
taught what wonderful things flow
ers, trees, cows and bees are.

shrewdest man I met in Europe.
Sir James Barrie reminded me of
a frog as he sat with elbows bent
and hands to his face.
It's a fine thing to exercise in the

Portland, Ore, Jan. "a
To the people and my friends in Mid

l want to say to my patrons, friends
and residents of Middlebury, that my
troubles and the unfortunate condition
of my affairs in Middlebury, are due to
my unfortunate investments and mis-
management in money matters.
And l want to say that it is my
fervent desire to pay my debts, all
of them, and if l have fair health and
am given chance, 1 sincerely believe
will. 1t is also my wish to come
back to Middlebury and practice medi-
cine, if there is a possible way that I
can do so. l am writing this because
of wrong impressions that have been
formed, on account of hard luck and
poor health, and again confess, my
own bad management of my business
affairs.
