Is to be relieved of that duty and placed on the street as a patrol man. After a discussion "of two mis haps which btieil tne car wmle 1 'river Jujnth was at the 'wheel, the three members ot tne Pplice Bourd ' present at the meeting lust evening concluuea that another unver - had better be appointed. It was left with t resident Hill ot the loard and riu- r-f rlntenucnt Birmingham to arrange, for the asstKnment of another driver. 1 President Hill said last evening the' choice would be one of three. I'u- . trolman Dallwig's chances ar . the . best of the three. Commissioner James J. Hurley-was absent. President Hill said he had consult ed with the city attorney about the t legality of taking .Driver Lynch from the patrol and putting, him On the' street as a regular patrolman. The answer from the city attorney was that It was within the pv. wer of the j commissioners to do so. James P. Kelly of: 142 Hanover street, foreman for the Vincent Bros. Co. was elected a special patrolman last evening but was hot sworn In. It was learned when the usual Ques tions were put to hlra that he was not a voter. Mr. Kelly has lived here for 22 years. President Hill will look further Into the law and if Mr. Kelly is eligible President Hill will swear him in without waiting for another meeting. If he cannot be sworn in, his election will be Invalid. He gave as a reason for not being made a voter that he had been too sick to do so. H. W. Chandler.- of. JT7 Maple' street, who has yharge of the ship ping and stork department at the Bridgeport Motor Co. was made a special patrolman. Edward J. Kiely. the plumber whose application to be laid on the table was present.

A sliding curtain will be placed! on ine rear oi tne auto-patrol to pro tect the -patrolmen from the dust which rushes into the car on a windy dusty day. Commissioner Kershaw proposed the plan. Another attempt was made to .have an extra man at police headquarters so that the driver of the auto-patrol would not have to mo ot alone on a call. Nothing was done - about it nowsver because of the lack of men. Tne commissioners have been trying w gei mis extra man at headquarters -or lour years.

EVICTED STRIKERS : RETURIUO WORK rEXDIXG SKTTLEMEVT OP fTAGE DIFFICULTY BY STATE BOARD OP ARBITRATION. (Special from tTnited Press'.) r y Springfield, Mass,, Dec J. -The strike of the 2,000 Polish operatives of the Ludlow. Manufacturing ''As sociates which began ' about ..two months ago and which was featured by wholesale evictions of the strikers families from the company's houses is ended. By an almost unanimous ww urn nruing operatives, in a mass meeting last night, decided to declare the strike off pending a .settlement of -the wage difficulty. This morning -another meeting of the strikers is being -held at which the details of the. return to work, will be arranged. - - Tha strikers gathered last night to listen to a report on tha conference with tha state board of ' arbitration held in ttlA AftArnnnn . Tti - was made by four of the strike lead ers, who were present - at the after- : noon conference of Central Labor Union officials, under Bernard F. Sup ple and Richard P. Barry of the stata board. According to the understanding the strikers, as soon as necessary details have been ' arranged,' will return to , work in the mills at the wages paid , when the strike occurred, and wilt remain afc work m thla i-nta until a settlement of the wage difficulty has ' been reached, either through arbitra- . tion by .the state board -or by con-i' c illation. The company wfll arrange to have the strikers return to the houses from which they were evicted during the strike. It is probable that the bulk of those who have been out on strike will be back in the mills by the middle of next week and it is likely that quite a number of them will be back at work by the close of this week. One week will be given era may return to work. this, being given so that the strikers who have secured ' work elsewhere may ' hae time to return to Ludlow if they wish. Both Mr. Barry and Mr. Supple of the state board will rem-.u in the ., city this morning in orde- to keep in, touch with developments in the situa- tion. Good Beer and Ale. : M. J.
