Through Attorney Thomas F. McDonough, Supernumerary Po- liccman J. Edward Hayes has served notice on the board of po- lice commissioner of his intention 10 fight the charge of conduct un- becoming an officer, on which he was suspended by Chief W. c. Hart Monday afternoon.

 Dear Sirs:
 Joseph Edward Hayes, mem- bcr of the supernumerary force of your department, has been suspend cd on charges Of conduct unbccom- ing an officer.

 Respectfully,
 "Thomas r. McDonough."

 Officer Hayes suspension follow cd report 10 Chief Hart by Ser gcaut Matthias Rival that on Sun- day evening, May 16, the officer was insolcnt to Prosecuting Attor- ney J. G, Woods and the sergeant at police headquarters, following the arrest of a motorist. The officer is said 10 have preferred charges of violation Of the motor vehicle laws against the man and, return ing to the police station little later, ordered that additional charges of violation Of the same laws be made.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods is said to have told the officer the orig inal charges would suffice, but the officer disagreed, and when Sergeant Rival took a hand in the argument, the officer is said to have been in- solcnt. Sergeant Rival ordered Of- fcer Hayes to report to the chief Monday morning, and before the officer would leave the station, Omi- cer Thomas J. Feeney is said to have been called Ipon to eject him. It is said that Officer Hayes admit ted to Sergeant Rival that he had one drink of wine. He was not on duty in uniform at the time. Lawyer May Cross Examine Woods

HOD CARRIERS IN HARTFORD STRIKE
Building LaboTerS' Union Men
 Demand Dollar an Hour
WALKOUT OUTLAW ACTION

Other Building Unions Refuse To Support Move - At Present Men
 Are Being Paid S7.2o For Eight Hours-Contractors To Fight,
 Hartford May % LP-The bod carriers and building laborers' union. consisting of more than 500 masons tenders, hodcarriers and mortar mixers, went on strike this morning following the flat refusal of con tractors 10 grant them an increase in wages from $I2O a day 10 S8 q day on an eight hour day basis. The strike is characterized by union off, cials as an 'outlaw" action and for that reason it is not being supported by inc masons and bricklayars union or by the structural and building trades alliance.
 Renewed Demands
 The tenders had agreed last week 10 withhold their demands indefinite ly in order that their conflict with employers might not interfere with an agreement between the building trades and the contractors. But when the demands of the other unions were met by the contractors on Monday morning, the tenders de- cided 10 renew their claims despite the warning of the alliance that they would not be sanctioned, and when the contractors firmly refused to meet Their demands, the threatened strike was called.
 Claim Agreement Broken
 The tenders broke their agreement, according to Charles Hulyar, busf- ness agent Of the masons and brick layers union, and for that reason the strike will not ho supported by allied unions. NIr. Hilyar said that the masons, hricklayers. plasterers and other building trades worlmen will remain on their jobs even if the contractors engage non-union tend CTS to take the places of the strikers.
 Contractors To Fight
 Tho masons and plasterers con- tractors are organizing today 10 fight inc strike, More than 50 contractors met this afternoon 10 form an as- sociation tn be known as the masons and plastcrcrs contractors associa- ton. It is their intention Of nego- 'iating with the strikers as q body from now on.
 The employers are opposed to common laborers receiving $6 a day when they are now getting union lahorer's wage Of $7.20 a day. The tenders have been prospering during the last two years and the average wage now is around S45 q week.

Chicago Produce Market
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, March 3.
Active buying on the part of houses
with eastern connections had much to
do with price upturns in the wheat

eastern sources appeared to be OF q

ferings which came out on the bulges
and which brought about numerous
