 Can Do Nothing

New Haven, July 21 - Patrick F. O'Meara, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor and a member of the State Board of Arbitration and Consolidation. whose name did not get into the "red book" of the State Manual. today said he supposed the omission was a compiler's error, fol- lowed up by a printers error
 MT. O'Meara Is certain he Is a member of the board which he says neither arbitrates nor candidates or does aytning, because he has his commission from Governor Lake.
 He said that in view of the many labor troubles the popular idea might be that the board should or could 10 something. He said, that as a matEer of fact the board has nothing to do. "There are too many mays in the Connecticut laws regarding the peace able settlement of labor disputes ard too few 'shalls" The Connecticut Manutac cturers' Association does not favor the settlement. of labor disputes by reference to a board of arbitra- ton" he added. ''anad 1t has always opposed the enactment of a law with teeth in 1t"

No Danger from Sharks in Waters
 Near Bridgeport

Residents of Bridgep who enjoy bathing and swimming at the nearby beaches have apparently nothing to fear of the sharks. reported off the waters of the Milford beaches.
 No definite reasons for the absence of sharks in the nearby waters were obtaina ble, but some believe it due to the shallow water and others de- clare it is because of Bridgeport be- ing further away from the ocean we have not seen any sharks in at least five vears,'' it was said at the municipal bath house at Seaside park this noon. L. H. Corbit, general man ager of the Lordship bathing pavilion said that no sharks hsd been seen in the waters of Lorf1ship in at least eight years. Fairfield beach report ed we have never seen any.'' Harmless porpoises are frequently seen along the shores of the sound but these ''sea cows are as harmless as their name implies. A porpoise has @
 fin which to the average persons bears a remarka ble resemblance to the shak fin. Young fellows have been known to ride a canoe right among school of porpofses. That the fish were more frightened than frightening was shown by the fact that they dove under water and did not come up for considerable d.s- tance-

HENRY RHEINART 1 BEATS OFF SHARK AT MILFORD BEACH

While bathing off Charles Island a Sh ort distance from the Milford chan mel on Tuesday. Henry Rheinhart, proprietor and manager of the Strat-
 field Barber shop, was attacked by a
 monster shark.
 Tuesday evening Rhednhart re- turned from work and decided to en-
 joy a swim. He was in @ short while
 and began to dive from the float. On
 the way into shore the shark came behind him, and startled by the move
 and saw it. He beat the shark off af-
 ter valiant attempts. This was not
 done, however, until he had reached very shallow water and the shark When Rheinhart attempted to move he found that it was next to in1possi-
 ble for in the attempt to beat off the
 shark he had strained the fragments in his leg and had received numerous abrasions about the body. He finally
 reached shore and was carried to his home.
 Until yesterday he was not able to
 move but with assistance he was able to come from his summer home to Bridgeport in an automobile. Today he is about his work in the Stratdeld and feels none the worse for
 his thrilling experience
 When commenting on the affair this m orning he said:
 "Yestertiay my wife and several ot her friends were out rowing when a shark came in back of the boat. They became highly excited but rowed tc shore with all speed. The shark fol lowed them until they were in shal- low water and then with mighty plunges made his way out into deep CT water.
 eThe experience had Tuesday presents quite a contrast from the South. LA few years ago while en- toying a vacation in the South I saw l several tourists go on the floats and then throw coins into the water for the negroes to dive and get At that time there were several sharks 1T ! the water but the negroes were not ahashed.
 They dove in and after getting the coins came back on the float and waited for the tourists to continue tha practice. At that time won dered why the sharks did not attack the negroes but since have learned that the negroes swim in the south ern waters unmo1ested."

That David Fitzgerald, mayor of New sHaven, will not run for gOvernOf. on. the. Democratic ticket unless the ticket is prop erly balanced, was the deciara- tion of Town Chairman John A.

 Tut, tut,'' the little Napoleon of New Haven answered. SpeIIacy To Finish. It was learned today that when the time comes Mayor Fitzgerald will de- clare himself and when he seeks the nomination for governor he will get it. MT Cornell stated today that Mayor Fitzgerald does not believe that the ticket is properly balanced for him yet ''Spellacy is in for the senatorial nomination to a finish fight" MT. Cornell declared.
 If a majority of the Democrats of the state desire the mayor of New Haven for a candidate for governor Spellacy will have to step down, poli- ticaI observers here state. Spellacy

Fitzgerald has the following in New Haven and for that matter in nearly all the larger cities of the state. Little towns and hamlets are the ones that swing the election, it is said.
 It was hinted today that another ] Democrat will probably be nominat- ed for a high office. Though 1t was ! not said who this person is, it is thought that Mayor Atwater will probably, secure the nomination for | lieutenant-governor. If he secures l this nomination the aspirations ot | City Treasurer John H.

COMMISSION REPORTS TO
 PRESIDENT
Union Officials to Take Active Measures to Defend Interests at Hearing Before Judge T h o III a S - Deputies Still Serving Writs.

Washington, July 2l - (By the A. P.)-President Harding was advised today by Chairman Cummins and Senators Watson of Indiana and Kellogg of Min neSOta. of the Senate Interstate Commerce committee of the unavailing efforts made by them in conference with sev- eral leading eastern railroad executives last night to obtain a basis for settlement of the rail- road strike.
 The three Interstate Conl- merce committee members went to the White House shortly after 9 o'clock and laid before the President the full details of the conference last night at a Washington hotel with the railroad executives. They declined to discuss their report prior to it's presentation to the President.
 New Haven, July 21 - Union off, cials here will take active measures
 hearing which will be held July 29
 by Judge Thomas in the Federal
 court following the issuance of 5Z writs yesterday against national and local union executives as a result of
 the temporary restraining order
 granted Wednesday night by Judge
 Thomas at his home in Norwalk.
 Eight national union leaders and seven leaders on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad are re- ported to be among against whom the writs were issued. The score or more deputies engaged in serving the wr1ts have not completed the task and the names of those served have not been made public. In the case or national l union officials service of writs may | be made by mail and this will delay
 the process several days according to | the United States marshaPs office nera.
 The -Writs are reported to be di- rected against executives of the rail-
 way employees department. the | Federated Shopcrafts and System Federation number IT, as officers and individuals and specify that they will be held responsible for any acss con trary to law which may be committed
 by striking railroad men or their | agents. The writs also serve as a summons for the hearing on the 2eth and will give the unions an oppor- tunity to snow cause why the tenn porary injunction should not be made permanent.
 Chicago, July 21.-The strike of railway shopmen today bore interest ing external appearances of 8 finish fight and speculation turned to what might be the next step by the federal government.
 An abortive conference at Wash ington last night between several rail- road presidents and members of the Senate Interstate Commerce Commit tee only revealed strengthened deter
 imitation on the part of the railroads
 not to weaken in their declination to grant the demands of union men for reconsiderat tion of the instructions which abolish seniority rights of the strikers, destroy their pension status, and refuse creation of boards of ad- | jusment.
 The conference also revealed that l t was regarded as inpracticabIe to pass legislation to deal with the pres ent strike.
