Truck Strike Ended
 WithoutA Trouble
All Local Concerns Sent Out Shipments To-day Witl1- out Guard-Real Losers Are the Drivers
 Who Have Lost Their Jobs

Trucking facilities in Waterbury functioned normally today with the second state strike of drivers temporarily q closed incident. All local concerns directed shipments today without police protection or. molestation on the part of sympa- thizers of the drivers, who were ordered by union leaders to return to their places of employment. The eleven men arrested here yesterday and charged technically with breach of the peace after allegedly attempting to. intimidate Q loyal driver, had their cases rolled in police court today. ,y Five Lose Their Jobs 9A Five of the eleven, however. gave notice to officials that, they had been fired" by their employers. James +. Corrigan. representative of the Central Labor Union. im- mediately entered into negotiations on behalf of the five men to have their employers reconsider their actions and re-employ them.
 The tense feeling no evident in police circles yesterday were. great ly relieved to-day. Some of the strikers apparently discovered yes terday that Superintendent of Po- lice Joseph H. Mclean can be as hard boiled as any police official in the country when the occasion necessitates it.. When word was received that some out of town "boys" were going to fight the bat tie with gangster methods, the s,i- met the challenge by ordering the motor patrol force double in number and equipped with riot guns.
 Police Blocked Plans
 With the police vigilant and ready for trouble there was ap. parently nasty reorganization of campaign methods and as the day passed instances of actual interfer- ence became less frequent.
 The walkout of the truck drivers was a "dud" from the start. for as 1t has been pointed out prominent labor leaders of Waterbury and Connecticut were opposed to the drastic action. The fact that lead- ing officers of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor through its secre- tary, John J. Egan of Bridgeport, refused to endorse the idea of a strike and declared that they in- tended to abide by their agreement with the state arbitration board. sounded the knell of any hopes of q general strike.
