Where the Officers Lost
Trace of Them

Woburn, Mass, April 2l.-For two
hours to-day eight policemen carried on
a running fight with three men who
had been discovered in an attempt to
break into the Boston and Maine raii-
road station at North Woburn. The
trio fled in an automobile but be-
came confused on the roads and aban-
doned the car near the Reading Viii
mington line. They took to the woods
and the officers followed, exchanging
shots with them several times. The
men eventually escaped. The automo-
bile was identified as one that been
stolen last night from Mary I. Pow
ers of Chelsea.
Patrolman Arthur Fay discovered
the men at the railroad station about
daylight. They drew guns and fired as
they ran towards the waiting automo-
bile. Officer Fay was joined shortly
afterwards by squad OF policemen
who had been sent to investigate re-
ports of suspicious men in the neigh
borhood, and all the officers gave chase.
The men headed for Reading but
sharp turn in the road apparently
caused them to believe they had taken
the wrong street and that they could
90 no further and they took toAthe
woods with the police close behind
Pastry found in the auto led to the
discovery that lunch cart at Will
mington had been looted. A break in
the Winchester postoffiee, where a win
dow was smashed and a quantity of
mail stolen, also was reported to-day,
but the police said it was doubtful
if the break was committed by the
same band.

Burlington. April 2l.-Smuggling of
whiskey across the Canadian border

On that date a Dominion law limit

gle quart becomes effective. While
beers and wines flow freely north Of
the line. United States officers do not
anticipate any food on this side be-
cause profits in these light liquors are
too small TO tempt the rum-runners.

tomobile traffic, formerly the princi-
pal underground source, Is less used
nowadays. but now and then a loaded

tor along the by-paths by parties that
were checked by vigilsnt guards.
Most Of the shipments, however,
have been made by freight car in re-
cent months False sides had been
built into lumber cars and vhiskey in

THRE4TEN TO USE
STRIKE BREAKERS
If Men on Eastern Massachusetts,
Street Railway Co. Quit Work I'm
der Company Proposal.

Boston. April 2l.--Two proposals
submitted by the public trustees OF
the Eastern Massac achusetts Street Rail-
way company, one providing for wage
reduction Of approximately 90 per cent
on MAY /, under agreement with the
union. and the other for submission OF
the question Of wages to arbitration
with elimination of any working agree
ment with the union, viii be voted
upon tonight by the company's $500
employees.
Union leaders predicted that both
propositions would be turned down, but
said the balloting was not in the ma
ture of strike vote. They were max
ing no preparations for a suspension OF
work at this time, they said. Company
officials. however, announced that they
were ready to meet any energy and
said cot beds. had been placed in pow
or houses and car barns in every dis
trict of the road, which would be OPP
Grated regardless of the action of the
carmen.
In letters sent by the trustees to-
day TO all employees it was said that
while the trustees would prefer to CON
tinue operations with the present force
thev would run the road with new men
If necessary.
They maintained that during the
past year the cost Of living had de
clined more than the amount OF the
proposed wage reduction and that the
public insisted on a lower fare, This
has been announced as a policy con
comitant with the lower wage.
Originally the Eastern Massachusetts
emploved about 500 carmen but dis
continuance of non-paying lines and
other reductions since the road went
under public control, has reduced the
number to approximately 2sOO.
