Eeuer1 Concerns Here
 Affected By Strike
Produce Concerns Involved in Latest Labor Difficulty = No Statewide Demonstration Planned for Present.

Striking employees of Il local wholesale produce concerns, includ- ing truck drivers, helpers, mainten- ance men, mechanics and utility men, picketed their various places of employment today. No conferences had been arranged as means of settlement, according to Attorney William J. Larkin, counsel for the companies and Rudolph M. Iata, business agent for the local truck drivers union.
 75 Out!
 Approximately 75 men went on strike last night upon the failure of union representatives to reach an agreement with company officials concerning new contract governing wages and hours of the workers.
 An official of the union said to- day, that the only possibility of the strike extending to statewide pro- portions was in the event that out of town companies attempted to service local dealers affected by the local strike. No other reason for a statewide strike of produce work CTS was apparent, he said.
 The only company to sign a con- tract, and only company which op- erated was Musante, Berman and Steinberg, according to statement by Tata.
 Companies Affected

MAYOR M'LEVY IS
 SILENT ON CROSS

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 9(UP)- Mayor Jasper McLevy, head of the State Socialist party, refused today to cross swords with former Demo- cratic Gov. Wilbur L. Cross who charged at a Jackson Day dinner that the ambitions of Connecticut Socialists parallel the totalitarian state such as we have in Soviet Russia.
 pr. Cross declared it a strange phenomenon" that Socialism "has flared up here in Connecticut, known as the land of steady habits"
 "Does this mean," he asked, That Connecticut is destined to play leading part for 8 time in an at- tempt to overthrow all those prin- ciples of Democracy embodied in the Constitution of the United States and in the Constitutions of the For twilight States comprising the union?"
 Various Socialisns, he said, "ap- peared in some of the Northwestern states. But all of the red heads got their heads knocked off in recent elections"
 The platform of Connecticut So- cialists, he charged, "goes further than the National Socialism of Ger many, where property private prop erty rights still exist for the so- called Aryans. It seems rather to indicate the totalitarian state such as we have in Soviet Russia"

Service!

Downtown crowds got some ex- citement Saturday afternoon when police converged on Bank street from every section of the city after a hold-up alarm had been set off at the M. A. Green jewelry store. The alarm, it turned out, had been set off accidentally.
 The alarm system is part of the American District Telegraph Sys- tenn, and the latter firm flashed a call to police when the alarm reg istered. A radio call over the police system brought five motor patrol cars, several squad cars, while de- tectives and reserves rushed from headquarters.
 Police had the entire area sur rounded when it was learned that the alarm had been sent in acci- dentally.

 He claims, however, that the i'm juries resulted in the loss to him of a contract for the designing of a theatre. Specifications were to have been completed by October IS, and because of the accident he was unable to meet the require ments.
