 Kill Anti-Strike Bill.
 The anti-strike bill of the .Connec- ticut Manufacturers association which was adopted by the, 1921 house and rejected by that senate was rejected by the senate today, as it had been withdrawn. There was a conference last week which resulted in an agree ment between Ralph o. Wells for the manufacturers association and Sem ator Tone (dem.) representing or ganized labor, by which not only was the anti-strfke bill to be abandoned but the bills of Senator Tone concern ing trade disputes" and "intimida- ton" were also to be withdrawn. The latter two bills also were rejected by the senate by reason of withdrawal, thus completing the terms of the agreement and eliminating three in- dustrial labor bills which promised to produce much debate. This practi- cally leaves before the assembly as la Dor measures only those relating to hours of labor of women and minors iil industry and the 4S hour bill ask To rlyo in he eastern part of the state.
