Waterbury, June —Waterbu was outwardly quiet today after strixe riots vesterday which resulted in the death of one striker, serious injury to two police officers and minor injuries to scores of others. More than 300 armed state and city guardsmen were stationed at strategic points. Troops in Readiness. A strong guard was thrown abaut the plant of the Scoville Mfg. Co. in Bridge street, where the police and city guard fought with strikers and sympathizers yesterday. State guard battalions at New Haven, Hartford and Meriden were held in readiness by order of Major General Lucien F. Burpee of Hartfard. They were fl:b- ject td the call of either Mayor Wil- liam H.

Conditions A Improved. However. strike conditions here seemed to have taken a turn for the | better today. Luigi Scalmana, presi- dent of the New England Workers' association, the body of unskilled workers of the brass factories who have been on strike for ten weeks, issued a notice to the strikers that married men would be permitted to return to work, while single men must remain out Machinists Won't Return. This action on the part of the one man who has had much authority | over the unskilled strikers is expect- ed to decrease the number of unem- ploved by many hundreds. It may have no immediate effect, however on the strike of the machinists in the factories. The latter are naw receiv- ing strike benefits and claim to be able to stay out indefinitely. No Gatherings Today. There were no gatherings on the streets near the factories this morn- ing and an observer would not note anything out of the ordinary, except at several places state guardsmen were on duty. The entire city battal- fjon of the guard was still on duty, having been called upon last night for protective service. The details were at the armary, around the electric light plant, and at the municipal building. The rest were held in re- serve at the armory. Wouhded Will Recover. There have been no street disturb- ances or strikers’ gatherings since the one at noon yesterday in which shots were fired. A hospital bulletin this morning stated that the condition of Police Lieutenant Richard Lerov and of Lieut. John J. Bergin of the Scovill company’s force.was much im- proved. Both men are expected to recover. They were shot in the riot. Half a dozen other persons were treated at the hospital for iInjurios caused by flying missiles, and it is thought quite a large number of strikers were attended by their fel- lows for minor hurts. Offers $10 Reward For Return of Lunch Truffic Supervisor Clarence Lam- phere was called upon this morning to perform a piece of detective work when one of the truck drivers work- ing on a new building on Main street missed his lunch from the seat of | the truck. So incensed was he at the loss of the edibles that he reported the matter to the policeman and of- fered a reward of $10 for the return of the package. The driver said nothing to the officer that would in- dicate that the package contained unything wet—other than to offer the reward. Two White Men Arrested For Duluth Lynchings Duluth, Minn..
