Delay Action AgainstHll Hunter
 Until tuesday

Because of the crowded condition
 | of the short calendar in Superior 1 court Judge Isaac Wolfe was com | pelled to delay the hearing of the quo warranto proceedings today, that were brought against Town Manager R. H. Hunter of StratfOrd, by Frank h.. Co-
 nine, First selectman. The hearinS 2 has been assigned for nine o'clock, Tuesday morning, which means that Hunter will still be Town Manager of Stratford over the week end.
 With opposing counsel marking time and ready for the first oppor- tunity that presents itself to appear before Judge Isaac WolF9 in superior court; with Frank E. C.onine in wait ing to personally watch the work of his attorneys; and with Judge Will liam H. Comley, Jr., ready to argue the demurrer filed several days ago in the Stratford quo warranto mat ter; 1t seemed certain that before the day was over the action that has been troubling Stratford for good many weeks, would be in the hands of Judge Isaac Wolfe, for decision.
 Frank E. Conine, Stratford First selectman, brought quo warranto ac- ton against Town Manager Hunter, who has refused to leave his post all though the Town council has made every effort to oust him from office. Represented by Israel Cohn, Judge Edward K. Nicholson has also been 1 called in the case by Conine, and will
 make the arguments for the plaintiff. Short Arguments.
 He announced that his arguments would be short, inasmuch as briefs that will be filed with the court are quite lengthy and cover the entire matter Judge Comley had no special comment to make, excepting that he was ready. Stratfordites feel that no matter which side wins in Superior court that the matter will eventually reach Supreme court, for aside from Hunter, the very charter of the Town itself. and interpretations of several inn mt sections in the charter are involved
 Should Judge Wolfe find that mat ters on the short calendar session that have the right of way are to take too much time, an assignment will he made later in the day for a hearing ] next week or the week following.

volved in a collision with a trolley ex- press car.
 Each Others Fault.
 Concrete road construction at the point caused a portion of the road way to be closed, making a distinct element in the action which Kelly and the Connecticut company each claim to be the fault of the other. Whether a passenger in a bus should make certain that he is riding in a register ed machine, duly licensed. or whether it should be taken for granted that a bus in public service, allowing to proceed over the highways by the au- thorities is vehicle safe to ride in, is probably to be one of the impor- tant angles that will develop during the hearing of the suit.

WalkOut Quiet,


 The walkout was quietly effected and was the result of a meeting held by the moulders last night. They called another session for this fore- noon to consider the situation.
 The moulders claim that the Farrel company has employed an efficiency expert who has inaugurated a plan by which a school of instruction has been set up in the moulding room.
 This school we believe is simply & cover for an attempt to enforce the open shop in our opinion" declared spokesman for the moulders today They have been taking an occasional laborer, usually a foreigner, and teaching him one part of the mould CTS work. Then another man would be taught another part of the work. We believe it an attempt to supplant us with non-union help. We are strik- ing in protest at what we consider an attempt to undermine our organ fzatton.'
 Many Boys Out.
 There are a number of helpers and apprentice boys out with the striking moulders.
 At the factory no statement was forthcoming. Whether an attempt will be made to operate the plant with non-union help could not be learned. But unless this is done the strike will eventually result in the closing of the factory.
