Both Sides Issue Daily Conflicting Statements; Strik-
 CTS Parade Cow Through City's Streets

McElligott, president of Worden's MT. Tata claimed that shipments for the dairy were being ordered by the fuel concern. A large shipment of cheese, delivered at the fuel company this morning was loaded back on the truck and taken back to New York, MT. Tata sad. He asserted the action was taken by a union driver after being informed of the situation.
 Action by the state labor depart ment is expected if efforts to settle the strike are not begun soon. The department has as yet made no effort to arrange settlement.
 MT. McElligott claimed that the strikers were violating their former contract by soliciting business for other dairieS. He said that the union contract, the non-renewal of which led to the strike, pledged union members not to solicit Wor- den customers until six months af- ter leaving the company's employ He charges that majority of the dairy employees are opposed to a union contract.
 Cancellations
 It is claimed by the union that more than 4,000 quarts of milk daily has been cancelled by Worden cus- toners. MT. McElligott declared that cancellations were few in num- Der and scarcely affected the 22,000 quarts of business done daily. The union asserted that the firms daily business recently has been only about 11,000 quarts.

timony and under questioning by his own counsel, Attorney Harold Corbin. Kaufmann pointed out in sarcastic fashion that Phillips could tell Corbin even the color of the paper on which he wrote letters, as well as the color of the ink. He remembered figures accurately and cited facts long gone by.
 To this outburst Phillips replied that most of the papers and figures were ones he had looked at quite recently.
 Kaufmann opened the govern ment's attack this morning with a series of queries.
 e. You know CoSter had more shares of stock in McKesson's than you did2
 A. Yes.
 e. You know Coster owned a very heavy percentage of the stock?
 A. Yes.
 e. You know Dietrich owned more stock than you did?
 A. I didn't know that.
 e. You told us yesterday of sell ing stoci to your friends, even your relatives Were you telling us that to show your good faith or what?
 A. I gave it as a fact not to lend color.
 Made More Than He Lost
 e. You told us about the money you made. You didn't tell us about the $17,000 dividend on the McKes- son stock that you got, did you? Isn't it 8 fact in one year you re- ceived more than you ever lost in McKesson's despite your testimony as to big losses?
 A. Yes.
 Kaufman then went on to ques- ton the witness about an incident in which he alleged that Phillips tried to persuade Coster to put Will liam c. Codingham, at the time head of the Canadian branch oi Sherwin- Williams. on the board o1 directors of McKesson'S, Ltd.
 Phillips claimed he met Codtng. ham on a boat trip and was greatl. impressed by the man and thought he might be an asset to the firm.
 Kaufman said that the only busi. flees the Canadian branch of Mel

The strike at R. F. Worden & Sons dairy continued today, with neither side yielding any ground in the dispute. Striking employees maintained their picket line at the dairy plant on Cherry street while the management insisted that the strikers had automatically lost their jobs by walking out.

Rudolph Tata, business agent of the International Union of TeamSters and Chauffeurs, announced that plans had been completed for a parade and demonstration Sunday afternoon at o'clock.

talk by the board. I thought most of the charges were unfounded.

 A. No.
 Q. Do you remember that he solid his real estate?
 A. No.

 o Did you authorize, as a direc- tor, withdrawals by Jones with your other board members?
 A. I don't remember
 o. Do you know that from 1880 to 1883 nayments were made with Jones company funds to various clubs to which Tad" Jones be- longed?
 A. I only know that he did have a debit in the company.
 Couldn't Recall Details
 Pressed further along this line of questioning Phillips replied that he couldn't recall the details. It was at this point that Kaufman charged Phillips with having a faulty memory when the govern ment wanted answer, but with dis playing remarkable talent for facts and figures under his own lawyers questioning.
 Phillips stated that he never was connected with any firm where there was any dishonesty except McKeSScn's and that this was both a surprise anu a shock to him. He said he did not figure that Jones was wrong
 Introduction of the minutes of a meeting of the Jones company di- rectors on January 12, 1884, fol- lowed, but Phillips complained at their size, so tht question coupled with their introduction was held over until this afternoons session to allow the witness to read the minutes during the noon recess.
 o. You knew that Tad" Jones resigned as treasurer of his coal company after the charges brought by Fobes and stayed on only as president.

 Questioned further as to Jones selling his stock in the company Phillips declared that it was not done secretly and many knew about it.
 o. How did you decide the charges against Jones were un- | founded.
 A. I can't remember. It was toe long ago.
 o. What check-up did you make as director of the company.
 A. An audit of the books was ordered.

 Vague In Answers

Kesson's was supposed to be engaged in then was crude drugs and all this was being handled through Bridge port. He said there were six direc- tors on the board of the McKesson, Ltd, SO why put Codingham on? Why an extra director? Why ask Coster to put him on? Wasn't it for window-dressing?
 Phillips response was Certainly not"
 Weren't you trying to curry favor with Codingham?" asked Kaufmann.
 "No," said Phillips.
 You told us you never knew any, one in McKesSon's who was doing anything wrong" said Kaufman. If you knew there was anything wrong going on would you have tried to have the person responsible re- moved?"
 Certainly" said Phillips, "even the president, of the firm himself"
 Switches to Jones Co.
 At this point Atty. Kaufman switched to the Jones company af- fairs, a line of inquiry that appar- ently was as much of a surprise to the defense as to spectators and court attaches. Tad" Jones ap- peared in the court about ten days ago as a character witness for MT. Phillips.
 o. You were a member of the Board of Directors of the T. A. D. Jones Coal company in New Haven.
 A. Yes.
 Q. Horace Merwir of Bridgeport was also a director?
 A. Yes.
 o. You knew Jones made unau- thorized withdrawals from the com- pany amounting to $201 ,000.
 Objection was raised at this point by Atty. Corbin on the grounds that Jones was not on trial.
 Phillips answer to the question, however, was that ne didn't know of any withdrawals that were unau- thorized. To the best of his knowl- edge he said they were authorized.
 Before or after" quickly shot Kaufmann'S question. Battle of Jones Directors Phillips then admitted that in 1883 there was battle among the Jones company directors. It orig mated, he recalled, with Stanley Fobes of New Haven who was an equal partner in the firm.
 o. Do you know we subpoenaed the books of the Jones company?
 A. heard about 1t last week. An effort to introduce a letter at this point failed when Judge Grover M. Moscowitz upheld the License objection.
 o. Did you get copy of the let ter sent to all the directors of the Jones company?
 A. I only remember one vaguely
 Through further questioning then it was brought out that Jones and Fobes both owned 40 per cent each of the company stock.
 Q. Do you remember that Fobes called special meeting to hear charges against Jones? Do you re- member Fobes wanted Jones out as president for using company funds! Do you know he was in- debted to the company to a great extent? Do you know he was with drawing funds for his own benefit?
 A. I can't recall the details, but I do remember there was some

BIG SWAP
 APPROVED
Believed Congress Ready 10 Adopt Any Sug-
 gestion by FOR

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT. = Re- liable political observers are of the opinion that Congress is ready to make any swap which President Roosevelt may recommend in order to obtain from Britain some of her Western Hemisphere possessions to be fortified by the United States.
 One of the most likely of the British possessions is the island of Trinidad, lying off the north coast of South America. Trinidad and other islands of the West Indies form key positions vital to American defense, especially in the rather poorly protected Panama Canal area.
 The only opposition to annexation of British territory in Congress is coming from a small group of isola- tionists who are tenaciously holding out against popular demand.
 Che Senator suggested that the United States cancel Britain's debt from the last World War in return for strategic military and naval To- cations along the coast of Canada and in Central and South American waters.
 The State Department and the White House at press conferences declined to quote the price which the United States will be willing to pay for such concessions.
