Men Declare Cost
 Too High Now
E xistin g Conditions,
 Says Report, Would
 Demand an Increase Rather than Decrease in R. R. Men's Wages.

New Haven, June 29 - The statement prepared by direc- ton of the adjustment commit tee of the Brotherhood of Rail- way and Steamship Clerks. Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and tho Central New England railroad against the application of decision number tO74 of the United States Rail- road Labor Board, was ready for presentation to General Manager c. L. Bardo today.
 Reasons Set Forth.
 The statement is signed by R. G. Stearns of Providence, General Chair man and says in part, after refer eTce to the decision in question:;
 '1 am authorized to advise that we respectfully decline to accept fur protest the application of the pro- visions of this decision of the em- ployes represented on said railroads for the resaon set forth below.
 After a careful review of the wage situation since the reduction in wages brought about by the labor boards decisions number 147 and number 426, taken in conjunction with the large reduction in the cleri- cal and station forces resulting in ad- didonal loss of pay, other that that authorized by the labor board; we maintain that there is no justification whatever for a further reduction in the rates of pay at the present time as the aforementioned reduction in the forces amount to nearly fifty per cent of the number of employees in the service on July 1, 1920 in the larger departments and stations, which means that the older and ex- per1enced employees are now perform ing additional work at reduced rates.
 Present High Cost.
 Existing conditions in New Eng land and New York territory are such as to demand an increase rather than a decrease in the rates of pay for the classes of employees represented

Some of these witnesses, he declares, were present at several transactions. He has signed affidavits and is prepared to push his charges.
 The policeman mentioned in con- nection with the alleged protection has not as yet been suspended, and whether or not he will be temporarily dismissed is at present uncertain. The city official mention in the case has not been asked to resign, and has not offered voluntarily to leave office.
 Many liquor raids have been made in the city recently and much home brew and mash have been seized, but despite these raids and seizures, Nor and there have been many men who. though not staggering because of liquor, have nevertheless been noticed to act as they might have had a drink or two. Whether liquor has actually been sold in the open is not known that bootIeggers have not starved in Norwalk.

keogh Instructed To Appoint New Trustee

The question as to the legality of the appointment of Norman S. Leeds as trustee of the Saltman-Dick com pany bankrupt, has been returned again to Referee John J. Keogn by Judge Edwin Thomas or the United States court, who instructs Keogh to appoint a new trustee and a new at torney for the trustee.
 The Saltman-Dick case will be re- before the bankrupt court for some time. Some creditors of the company claim that Dick gave money to some relatives and an attempt to reclaim this money and place it as assets of the company was made. When the company was declared bankrupt Leeds was appointed trustee. The legality of his appointment was brought up and the matter referred to Judge Thomas by Referee Keogh, who has been instructed to appoint a new trustee by Judge Thomas.

Charges of sensational character involving a Norwalk city official and a police officer of that city. in connection with alleged liquor law violations were brought to light today when a Norwalk man, whose name is withheld by the police, accused the officials of promis- ing him police protection in the manufacture of booze.
 Officials Accused
 The man further accuses the off, cials, saying that they disposed of some of the liquor for him. He says
 .ns promised to see that he was taken care of if he would make booze for a certain group of men in Norwalk.
 That the police officials of that city are stirred by the astounding charges Is evident, and every effort is being made to sift the matter and get to the truth, in an attempt to clean up the city Yesterday a conference was held by Samuel Keeler, police com missioner Of Norwalk. William R. Pennington. chief of police, and Fed eral prohibition agents.
 What transpired at this conference is unknown and will not be made public, this week at least. The affair has gone as far as the chief execu- tive of the city. and there was a con- ference later between Mayor GaIin L. Barton and these same officials As this conference continued for scIne time 1t is presumed that plans for probing the matter were made and that the city will push the case to the limit Just what action will be taken will be announced some time befoe next Wednesday,

A party of Free State forces on the watch for insurgents activities pour ed a volley into a public house in the vicinity of yesterdays ambush.
 One of the outlying places seized by the 1rregulars was the Sackville Street club, an old fashioned aristocratit Nelson Pillar. In addition to the various orga nized operations of the insurgents their sympathizers in sew eral parts of the city acting as snip CTS, made many attacks on Free State troops.
 All Roads Blocked.

The mind, having obtained a curi- cus fact, doesn't easily let so. The fashion is to ring the changes on the Hussian ruble. A letter came bear ing a stamp. which at the pre-war price of rubles. would have cost $2oo,ooo American. In fact that stamp bore a strict relation to the earning power of the person who mailed the letter. Money is merely a yard stick. The commodity is the thing.
