WaterburianS In London Awaiting Great Spectacle

Fifty or more residents of Wa terbury and vicinity are now in London, England, to attend the coronation of King George VI or are on the ocean now nearing their final destination. This fact was disclosed today in a check-up of local travel bureaus. They will be a part of the 5000 American vis- itors to the coronation ceremony.
 It was found out today that peo- pie from Waterbury and vicinity made reservations through local travel bureaus as early as April 1st. Many of them have been in England for a couple of weeks and have witnessed the prepara- tions for the ceremony and have attended many of the social func- tions that ordinarily precede such an important event as the corona tion of the King of England.
 With the sailing of the Queen Mary" last Wednesday morning went the last Shipload of Ameri- can visitors to England and on board were at least 15 Waterbury persons. The "Queen Mary" was due to dock today at Southamp- ton, Englind, just two days before the coronation.
 The visitors will then proceed to London. Some of the Waterbury contingent will visit the continent after the coronation ceremonies are over.

The temporary memorandum was filed today in the civil action of Kostas and James Klaridis, owners of restaurant and grocery store in the building, against the owner of the building, Thomas Coleman. Damages of $15,000 which had been asked, will also be denied when the regular judgment is filed.
 Time Allowed
 Permanent judgment is being withheld to allow the plaintiffs to petition for further hearing on the question of lease of the building for their business occupations. If no hearing is requested within two weeks, Judge McEvoy will enter judgment in accordance with his conclusions. Their request to have the building moved again, and their plea for $15,000 damages will be de- nied in the permanent judgment, according to the memorandum filed today.
 Trial of the suit was held in the local superior court and required 8 period of more than three weeks. Attorney Maynard M. Lund of Sey- mour appeared for the plaintiffs, with Attorney Frederick M. McCar- thy of Ansonia defending. The agreement for removal of the build ing from its original to the new site was made in September, 1883 and the building was moved in September, 1884. The plaintiffs claim the building was not placed on the site agreed upon.
 Site Injurious
 They claim that the new site was injurious to their businesses and that it has caused them severe losses.
 Judge McE;voy in his memoran- dunn filed today says, "The plain tifS have not suffered any damages and they have no cause for action which would entitle them to rem- edy at law"
 If there is any material differ ence between the two locations, the present would appear to be more advantageous and beneficial to the plaintiffs than the original one agreed upon."
 'The building is between 50 and 60 feet from the corner where it was agreed to be placed. The present location has not caused the plain tiffs any loss, financial or otherwise. :"
 ''No complaint was made by the plaintiffs in regard to the new site until several weeks after relocation, although they watched the building of the new foundation and the re- setting of the building. Kostas Klar- idtS frequently expressed hi, satis-

military departments. Its potential
membership lies between 100000
and 100000.
Meanwhile there was plenty of
action elsewhere on the labor front.
In Chicago, the Chicago Federation
of Labor, an A. F. of L. associate,
ousted q local unions, comprising
a membership of 10000 to 10000,
charging that they had been active
in behalf of c. I. o.
Also in Chicago, Mayor Edward
j. Kelly ordered the plant of the
Republic Steel corporation evacuat-
ed. The company, in the throes
of C.. I. o. strike, was housing
non-striking employees in the plant,
that their work might continue;
such housing of employees is forbid
den by city ordinance. It was at the
Republic plant that seven strikers
were killed and 80 wounded when
they attacked police on guard short
time ago. It was reported that two
who took part in the strikers attack
admitted their group had been organ
lied on a military basis, and had been
drilled in practice for the drive for
two days before it was made.
