 The invaders pushed their way past guards at the door, and ran to the second floor whree the meeting was in progress. Appar- ently without warning, the visitors opened fire, and began swinging bludgeons and knives. The screams of the surprised workers and the shrieks of women sounded over a fusillade of shots. Thousands in the teeming district thronged to- wards the union offices. Witnesses said they heard 75 or more shots, ''and then men began jumping out of the windows" Some lay on the sidewalk and some lifted and dragged themselves away.
 Thirty mounted police and hum dreds of patrolmen and detectives were dispatched to the scene be- fore a semblance of order was re- stored.

 When visits to the stores proved to the most doubtful of the skep- tics that the merchants were not bally- hooing, the shoppers were pleased beyond description, and engaged in an orgy of purchasing that recalled more prosperous years.
 We'll, ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls, next Thursday IS Waterbury Day! That should be a sufficient announcement for all you who plan your spring shop ping to get in line and be among the thousands who will parade through the stores on Thursday.
 Larger plans are being effected by the committee arranging next Thursdays affair than were made in prior years. Newspapers, the aters, and utilities will carry an nouncements of the big event in attractive styles. A novel idea will be running of a trolley, posted with signs announcing the event through the central streets of the city.
 once the announcements have reached the people, it is no idle fact the idea will catch like wild fire and everyone will be anxious. ly awaiting the day when the stores open for the sales.
 The new deal will be carried oui to the letter. Merchants are pre- pared to offer the latest in spring modes in every conceivable styie of wearing apparel while those business men engaged in other lines will have something special in their respective branches.
