The plaintiff futher Uws that it has been delayed in fulfill- ing contracts and has lost a large smount of money and is. unable to accept new business by reason of the aets herein complained of. It further shows that unless it is permitted to operate its said plant in the al way according to law and without molestation, the damage accruing by reason of said acts will be irreparable. The plaintiff {urther shows that, despite the efforts of fhe deputy sheriffs as aforesaid, the acts of intimi- dation herctofore mentioned _continue, and that the situation has become 80 acute that the piaintiff cannot be given adequate protection unless this Court in- terposes its decree a® hereinafter prayed.

The plaintiff claims: An injunction eestraining the @:fend- ants, their respective agents, -associates and 'employes and all nersons acting in concert with the aforesaid defendants. or any of them o in their behalf whether or not specifically named as_defendants in the complaint from (1) inducinz or enticing any person now ‘or hereafter having a_contract of employment with the plaintiff tn hreak the same: (2). mo- lesting intimidating. theeatening, annoy- iug or hindering, either by - violence, hreats of vi decent talk and abusive epith ying language, acts or conduct, otherwise, any per- son now or hereafier in the employ of the plaintiff. or willing to enter or desirous of entering the same or 50 acting n-any manner whatsoever as is - calculated to coerce any such persons from. remaining in or entering said employment; (3) molesting, interfering with or. otherwise annoying any such nersons, in any man- ner whatsoever, in nroceeding {o and from his or her place of abode upon the plAintiff’s reemises or in-pursuing his or her way about the streets; (4) picketing, loitering. assembling. or ' congregating, cither singly or in squads, or establish- ing or maintaining any patrol or patrols or wick Kets o causing others {o picket, assemble, congregate of pairol either in the vicinity of the prem. ises of the plaintiff or in.the vicinity of the abode of any employe or nerson will- ng to become or desirous of beg; ming an er_loye of the plaintiff, or on auy street, highway or sidewalk along or across ce by which sald emnloyes or persons pass n going to or from. the nremises of the plaintiff and their respective abodes; (5) entering intoor continuing ,in _ any scheme. designing or conspiring among themseives or with others organized oF acting for the puroose of interfering with or_injuring the plaintiff's business. will or property. by molesting, intimi- dating. obstructing, “annoying or othe: wise interfering with any person or: per- sons now or hereafter in the employment of the plaintiff or agreeable to cr desirous of entering the same: (8) committing any act of violence whatever or tres: passing in any way whatever upon the premises of the plaintiff Charles B.

Ayer served summons on various individuals and members of Industrial Union, No. 24, in‘a civil action instituted by-the Aldricn Manufacturing. company. The. defend- ants, are ordered to appear in the super- for: court. for ‘this county onthe first Tuesday in. September to answer to the manufacturing company on - its . com- plaint that the deféndants or .certain of them, otgethier - with ,other. persons unknown to the plalntiff company have conspired _ogether, by .uniawful ameans, to hinder, delay and _ impede. -the com- pany's employes and to prevent .persons desirous of entering the employ.-of - the company or- continuing - in-“its ~employ from so0. doing. % i Service of the papers in.the case by Sheriff Ayer came like the_ explosion of 2 bomb to the strikers generally, as well as to_the people of Moosup as 2 whole. The temporary injunction was authorized and ordered Monday at New Haven by Judge James E. Webb of the superior court sitting in_chambers, :following ‘2 complete review of the strike-situation at Moosup by Attorney. Harry E, Back of Danielson, counsel for the’Aldrich Man- ufacturing company. Not -an_ inkling of the fact that the company was seeking an - injunction” became known. until. ser- vice of summons began by Sherift Ayers. Those who are made defendants in the action are, Albert Wilson,” Joseph Rochefort, Rhoades Paine; . Michael Smola, William Carroll,” Albert LeClair, Henry Parr, Adolph Monty, John Flan- nigan, Henry Wood and- Blanche Good- reau, all of thé town of Plainfiéld, both individually and as members of indus- trial Union, No. 24, all the . remaining members of Industrial Union No. 24, and the attorneys, agents and -employes of the afore-mentioned defendants. and Peter Rouleau” and Abraham Binns, also of the town of Plainfield. The full details - relative to. the junction and the representations which it was.ordered together mention of the fact that employes' lives have ben thratnd is set forth elsewhers in this issue of The Bulletin, in the legal notice required by law in all such cases. 1t was stated Tuesday that' additional hands were at work at the mill, the num- ber having increased over the number working Monday and the gain during the past week has been mateérial, though the great majority of the strikers are still remaining away from work. Tuesday afternoon it was indicated at Moosup that the directors of the strike were greatly surprised at the action of the mill company in obtaining an in- junction. There .is reallzation in strike heddquarters and in the ranks of the strikers generally that the injunction must be obeved and that violation of it will bring penalties up to $5,000. No par of prize beaules ever were gazed upon with more longing looks or were the inspiration of a larger number of sighs than a pair-of clumsy, khaki- topped motor trucks standing side by each in the vard at the-state police bar- racks on North Main street - during Tuesday. : Added to the wistful ‘looks .and .the unabridged sighs, was a long enumera- tion of parched throats, for inside of these trucks 7,200 bottles of beer were reposing, and the trucks were there be- cause the state police believe.it is real beer. Calmly watching all = of ‘those who came to look was an_armed guard, never moving out of smelling range of that pair of trucks, which, some hoped, might shimmy a bit so that the onlookers could hear the cargo splash about a little if nothing more. Armed guards had relieved each - other all. . through Monday night—in order that the- trucks might not be lonesome, mor the . beer spoil, for the trucks were a long way from their New York home and, some- how, unguarded beer does not keep weil this’ summer. Up at the barracks, Officer Albert S. Fields, in charge of the station; was re- ceiving all Kinds of good-natured offers to relieve thée state police of-all further work in disposing of the beer. The of- ficer could have hired 500 men fo help dispose of that beer-at a lower rate per hour than anyone hereabouts is paying; in fact many offered to do. the work for nothing. Down at the police station, Barnett C. Hart, Provience, held to answer to a charge -that he had attempted to bribe Officer Fields and Officer Merrill R. Keith, and Charles Taylor, colored, and Thomas Walsh, the New Yorkers who were driving the trucks when they wers seized near Jewett City, Monday after- noon, were patiently waiting until they could be taken to Plainfield and Jeweit City for hearings. Hart is the man to-whom the drivers telephoned in Providence, after they rad been ordered under arrest by Officer Keith. He arrived from Providence in about two hours after being notified of the drivers' troubles and by that time Officers Fields also had arrived at Jew- | ett City from Danielson. said Tuesday that Hart immediately made known his idea that it.might be possible to adjust the situation and, ac- cording to the officer, there was much conversation _about a money considera- tion. The officer-listened so- attentively that Hart apparently believed his plan would be accepted and on the way to Danielson with the trucks, Hart then be- ing a passenger in Officers Flelds car, he took a roll of bills from his poczet and slipped one to the officer. This was near the little school house east of Bish- op's crossing in the town of Plainfield. Officer Fields drew his car up beside the highway and stopped, signalling to Of- ficer Keith, who was following behind the trucks on his motorcycle to come for- ward. Officer Keith no sooner _had heard about the “gift” to Officer Flelds than he also was made a similar “gitt” by Hart. The officers each had been given $100 bills, and once in ossespsion of the ‘money they informed Hart that he was under arrest for attempted brib- ery. The bill given to Officer ~Keitn was marked, Hart condescendingly tell- ing Officer Fields that he would put the marked one onto Officer Kieth. Officer Fields sald Tuesday that Hart mot only had given the officers $100 each, but had promised them $100 each every week if they would just allow the beer trucks to run through this territory unmolested —nothing - more ! That ‘Hart is closely associated “with some of the biggest bootleggers in the country is indicated by the manner in which he’ began to get active as soon as he was allowed to use & teléphone -here in Danielsom. He- boasted to Officer Ficlds that last vear ~we lost a ship load of liquor worth $150,000," and that at Christmas time last year another loss that was'suffered by the outfit was two carloads of Scotch:and rye'whiskey, worth $50,000, “while ‘it was. .en route from Canada into- New -England.

The advent of the motor car makes business poor, but John Keeps his hand in and even at this day and date no one wants to try to put over a horse on him whose eyes are “biue,” Re- cently John started a little store but, he says, the business is mostly for his little girl who likes to “tend store.” In the meantime John walks about the city and visits favorite haunts and tells “hoss” stories of the long ago. But it was a new one that the oldtimer was teiling Tuesday afternon. Last Satur- day Mrs. Jarvis was operated on for appendicitis at the Day Kimoall hospi- tal. Tuesday afternoon John wanted 1o g0 up to the hospital and call on his wife. Charles Dumas. a close friend of John, volunteered to take him up in his car. For some time Dumas has suffering from abominal pains and ha: had suspicions of an appendix gone wrong. John knew this and feeling pretty good himself at the excellent re- covery of his wife he was telling Dumas that an operation wasn't much anyway and that he had better have it over with. As the pair drove into the hospi- tal yard Dr. S. B. Overlock. the house surgeon, was coming out. John told his friend Dumas that if -he said the word he, John, would stop the doctor and have him make an examination. Be- fore Dumas had a chance to say “No” it was all over and within a few minutes the friend had become a patient in the institution where an operation was de- cided upon. John had to call up his brother to drive the car home. as he. while quite able to handle a pair of reins over a fast stepper knows little about the round wheel that steers a mo- tor car. John thought it was a pretty good joke on himself, having to driven home. and also one on his friend. “providing he comes out all right. John put it, at going along as chauffeur nd being left behind =s a patient. ‘When it's all ‘over he'll be darn glad of it” said John. “you see he didn't quite have the courage, and 1 wouldn't either. but T put some into him by act- ing quick! T think thal's a pretty good one on us boh, don't you?" he queried. CENTRAL VILLAGE Louis Jodoin of New York is the guest of his son, William Jodoin.
