DOES NOT HOLD RAY
 FOR FATALITY

, estimated between 30 and 45 miles an hour shortly before the crash, that Ray slowed down approaching the corner, applied the brakes when 45 feet from the trolley, tracks in the roadway proving this, and was travel ing at a moderate rate of speed when the collision occurred. The fact that a pleasure ride was being taken, the continuation of an all night party that had started at the Algonquin club, progressed to the Elks' ball, thence to the Greenlawn club, and finally to Miss Kolb'S home, caused the coroner to make an exhaustive search into the facts of the party.
 All evidence introduced failed 10 show that any of the men in the party, which included MT. and Mrs. c. F. Kolb, had taken any intoxicat- ing liquor, although Miss Kolb ad- n1itted to one drink and under the circumstances shown, testimony of fer,ed as to sobriety, Rays reputation as a careful driver, and the fact that the corner sa puzzling and danger ous one, no criminal negligence upon the part of anyone involved was found.
 Ray will appear tomorrow in the Fairfield town court to answer to the charge of manslaughter, but in view of the coroner'S finding it is improb- able that he will be held for further trial.

Ray was driving the ma chine, the rear seat of which was occupied by Steen and Miss Marian Kolb of 3 sherman court, Fairfield.
 The accident, which Ray stated was caused by a slight misjudgment on his part in estimating distance, was 8 very peculiar one. The rear left of the machine struck the left front of the trolley, the latter coming from Bridgeport, and the contact was so slight that Ray did not stop at the time, felt practically no jar himself, and did not know Steen had been in- jured by being thrown to the side of the machine until Miss Kolb called to him to stop. Steen was taken to Dr. W. H. Donaldson, Fairfield, who or dered his immediate removal to St. Vincent's hospital. where he died inn mediately after admittance.

 After the consultation between the transport workers and the railroad men J. H. Thomas, a leader of the ference room, appearing much dis treSsed.
 "A triple alliance strike has been decided upon he declared. 'It will be controlled by the joint executive committee of the three bodies which will meet this afternoon to take charge and make necessary arrange mens."
 The miners in refusing the pre- mier'S invitation, declared they wish ed to meet without being hampered by any restrictions on the subject of tneir discussions. They said they wished the meeting to be entirely free from limitations, especially regarding the question involving the return of the pump men to work.
 The mine owners had acce pted the invitation with the condition that the matter of the pumpmen returning to work mus be the first question settled at the proposed conference.
 The mines reasse bled at 2:5O o'clock to consider the governments reply to their refusal to confer
 It was understood that in his reply the premier asked the miners to meet the owners at D. m.
 The prime minister, in his reply, it developed. had reiterated that the safety of the. mines must be discussed and disposed of before other matters were taken up-
 The transport workers declared the strike order will become operative when the miners give the word for c sympathetic strike.'' This put a new aspect on the situation, placing the "big stick'' of the final decision in the hands of the miners rather than of the triple alliance executive.
 It is now up ito the miners to say whether they want the alliance to go out. Their 'tyes'' will be promptly followed by a general strike cali.
