|DONNELLY SUING. CITY OF BRISTOL
Former Police Clerk De- mands $3OO--MayOr Is
 Named Defendant

Damages of $500 are sought from the City of Bristol by Francis Don- nelly, Bristol, through his attorney Joseph c. Guilfoile of Waterbury, for his discharge as clerk of the Bristol Police department last June. Donnelly claims that Mayor Joseph w. Harding acted beyond his rights in dismissing him from his job as a city appointee.
 Papers in the case, which is re- ttirnable to the Court of Common Pleas at Hartford the first Tuesday in October, were served upon City Clerk Rolfe E. Rowe by Deputy SheriH Daniel Riccio.
 Still Appointee
 The plaintiff, according to papers in the case, claims he is still an ap- pointee of the city and that the city owes him $150.43.
 He further claims that "On June 2, 1897, for reasons known to him. self, the then and presen mayor of Bristol, Hon. Joseph W. Harding surnmarily discharged the plaintiff from his duties in the Bristol City hall.
 "A few hours later on the same day, plaintiff went to the Police De- partment where he had been em- ployed. Finding him there Mayor Harding again notified him ard warned him that unless he went o,lt of the building atonce he would be arrested
 Offered to Work
 Plaintiff then retired from the premises and although he has been willing and ready to complete his weekly service to the city and has at different times since offered to return to work he is by the &C., tions and demands of Mayor Hard- ing unable to resume his work for the city"
 The writ served upon the city further states The mayor of the city of Bristol, Hon. Joseph W. Harding, in discharging plaintiff acted beyond his rights and usurped the power and authority designated by the legislature of the State of Connecticut to the City Council of Bristol. He exceeded his own de- fined legal power and authority and did not follow the prescribed forms nor did the Bristol City Council follow the prescribed forms and legal steps requisite to the discharge of an appointee of the city and did not follow the charter of the City of Bristol"

Local CIO Members
 Seek Recognition,
 Increase In Wages
Two Local Concerns Affected By WaIkout Yesterday; Tickets Inform Public of Strike Negotiations for
 Settlement Now Underway With State Assisting

Workers of America, a CIO affili- ate, who are now out on strike at the Metropolitan Cleaners and Dy- CTS Co, and Hart's, Inc, for a minimum wage of forty cents per hour, a forty-hour week and recog- nition of the union.
 In the meantime, as the result of report of the girls out on strike at the Metropolitan to their or- ganizer, Leon Saginor, investigations are being made in regard to what the union considers direct viola ton of the Wagner Labor Relations Act. It is the claim of the union at the present time that two girls are working at the Metropolitan from ten to twelve hours per day and are getting paid "spot cash for the work. Saginor also claims that this is not strictly in accord- ance with the Social Security Act.
 Neither Max Hart, president ot Hart's, Inc, nor Joseph H. Green blatt of the Metropolitan, had any statements to make this morning in regard to the present situation
 It was also reported today that pickets had taken up posts in front of the Metropolitan company's es- tablishment in Torrington.
 Conferences Held
 The strike was called yesterday after several conferences with the managements of the concerns had failed to establish terms which were agreeable to both sides. At the present time 20 of the strilers are from the Metropolitan Co., and the remainder are from the Hart con- cern.
 Tickets continued to carry their signs today. signs which stated that both firms were unfair to organized labor and the CIO."
 Statement
 Alex Cashin, speaking for the In- ternational Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers. of which or- ganization the Waterbury Brass Workers union, local 25l. is a mem- Der. reiterated his statement of last night:
 "It has always been the policy of our organization to GId mem- bers of any other organize ton who are seeking to bet- ter their conditions and due to the situation now prevailing in Wa terbury I am certain none of our workers will pass the picket lines in front of these two cleaning and dyeing establishments" .

BRIG. GENERAL
 CROzIER IS DEAD

Walton on Thames, Eng, Aug. 31 UP)-Brig. Gen. P. P. Crozier, 58 whose book, Men I Killed" created furore throughout Europe because 1t described how some army of- ficers shot their own men during the World war in order to make them fight, died today.
 Crozier devoted his life to the military service. but recently turned pacifist.
 T killed a good many men in war to end wars by fair means or foul" he said in his book. T called a battalion to follow me. Not man moved. I told them I would shoot Words worked wonders with the aid of a ready revolver. It is most doubtful if the most highly trained troops in the world will stand up in a modern war unless the shadow of death looms over them"
 Crozier's book described how he personally shot a terrorized and fleeing junior British officer in or der to halt a panic and a general retreat.

Knife May Cure Boy CrirninaI'

By NEA Service
 Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 31-Because # is felt that pressure on his brain resulting from a train accident when he was a boy is responsible for a long list of petty crimes and dere- lictions, physicians here are con- sidering an operation on Benny El- liott, 2l.year-old problem boy" El- liott has been in constant hot water over petty thefts and other delin- quencies for more than 10 years. 4 month ago, after escaping from the state insane asylum, he attempted to kill his sister-in-law wren she took steps to surrender him. When- ever caught at various pranks, like attempting to light pool of gaso- line he drew from filling station pump, Benny always says: You know my head isn't right"
 Doctors, inclined to agree that he has the right diagnosis, are studying X-ray plates to determine if an operation would relieve brain pressure and make Benny nor- nal boy again. "The state has spent thousands of dollars prose- cutting Elliott and treating him n state institutions" says Prosecutor Dixie Gilmer, "and if an opera ton might cure him, I'm in favor of using some state money that way" Benny agrees that if there is a 50-50. chance of such an oper- ation curing him, he's ready.
 T don't know why I get this way" Elliott explained. But don't like living in jails, and might as well be dead as this way. So If they think they can cure me, I'm ready for it." Doctors who have examined Benny believe that if a segment of bone pressing osl the brain is removed. there is a good chance that Benny might turn into a normal, obedient, use- full boy,
