BERLIN NEWS BERLIN FEELING - EFFECT OF STRIKE Freight Agent Can Send Through: Nothing But Foodstufls SELECTING A MEMORIAL Several Excellent Designs Have Been Submitted to Committee—Strike is Already Holding Up Some Local “Mail—Other Local News of Interest. The strike is being felt in Berlin and was very much in evidence this morning. Freight Agent Tomlinson stated that he had received arders to receive nothing in the way of freight, either carload or less carload, with the exception af foodstuffs. As far as help was concerned they were all on their jobs this morning and did not expect 10 be called upon to strike. The Amer- ican Paper Goods company will con- tinue their production as usual as business is good and orders will be pushed through regardless of the strike. It is probable that what can be forwarded by auto truck will be moved and the remainder held until settlement of the strike. The Berlin: Cfonstruction company will continue busipess as usual as they aiso have many orders to get out, so that the strike will in no way hamper produc- tion. As the orders are completed they will be held in readiness for ship- ment as'soon as the strike is called off. Passenger service is in a crippled cohdition also, trains having been taken off, six in each direction. There are now 14 trains running in the 24 hours, seven each way, with the pro pect of a number of these also being annulled before the day is over. Sev- era] passengers were obliged to remain at the Berlin depot from 8 o’clock un- til 11:08 as the trains in between had been taken off. The mail trains are being kept up, however, as far as pos- sible, only one being annulled during the morning. All parlor cars and din- ing cars are side tracked for the time being. Staps are being made in New Haven and Hartford so that the pas- sengers can eat at the station restaur- ants in the absence of the diners. Selecting Memorial. The sub-committee on the memorial design met Wednesday evening to con- sider the designs which have been submitted Dby the different bidders. Every one of the designs offered is of exceptional beauty which will mean a very careful selection of the fina] design. The committee plan to make their selection by the process of elimination, all the members of the committee acting as the jury and the judge. The things that govern the selection wil] largely decide which design shall be chosen. The first consideration is the appropriation, which must not be exceeded, and this fact will be one of the deciding principles. Another con- sideration is the aesthetic beauty of “the design which means much to the committee as their selection will have to withstand all the criticism of com- Ing years. It will mean some time yet before the final decision of the com- ttee can be published as a memorial which must stand to posterity must be chosen wisely. Gun Club Outfit Stolen. The Mattebesset Gun club will unable to hold their shoot as announced a short time ago. bers of the club went over to grounds the other day preparatory to making the range ready for the time Saturday and found all the equipment with the exception of the fraps stolen. The trapz were locked up in a strong place from which it would be almost impossible to break into, so they are all that remains. There was 600 feet of 2-inch ches nut plank on the range which w. to be used this week for repairs, but this has been cleaned out completely. Even the 3,500 clay pigeons have been stolen which the club had on hand. These pigeons are of no use to any- one except for trap shooting and it looks as though spite prompted the theft. Action to apprehend the thieves will be taken Thursday eve- ning when the club officials meet to take action on the matter. Judge George G. Griswold of Berlin is pres- ident of the Mattebesset Gun club and he intends to go right through to the finish to find the culprits Carload of Oil / ves., The long waited for carload oil arrived in East Berlin and work upon the roads will be commenced immediately. Nothing has been done to the highway since the last consignment of oil arrived. The sand which is to be used to cover the road after oiling has been par- tially washed a during the re- cent rains and will probably have to be replenished. It is reported that the roads will be treated with oil by means of the automobile sprayer as the previous pail tem was found to be unsatisfactory as well as too expensive. Kensington Items. The Foresters met last night at Foresters’ hall and voted to postpone the installation of officers until their next meeting. The Kensington postoffice did not receive the 9 o'clock mail, due to the rike. The train that brings this mail annulled Miss Elfreda Lounsbury, of Rev. E. F.

A man whose name could not be learned, was thrown from his motor- | a i short cycle last evening on Damon’s Hill, while on his way to New Britain. It is said he was making pretty fast time and had just made the corner by Woodruff's store when his rear tire blew out, hurling him from his ma- chine to the side of the road. He w scratched up and considerably lacer- ated besides spraining his ankle. George Ventres happened to be near- by and went to the man’s assistance. Realty Transfer.

It is the first time in years that lo- cal people have been unable to re- turn to Plainville from any town north of here on the same day and by train. Passengers desiring to go by train to New Haven and points north of this town have to go by way of New Britain, Berlin, and Hartford. The Waterbury division was not as badly affected as was the Northampton. Four regular p; nger trains on the Waterbury division did not run, be- ing Nos. 61 and 62 and the two through express trains from Pough- keepsie to Boston and vice-versa which arrive in this town at 11 and 11:30 a. m. respectively. Although the officials of the New Haven road stated that no schedule would be in effect, the passenger trains are on schedule time whenever crews are obtainable Thus far the government mails have not been affected except by de- Jay. Mail north and south by way of the Old Canal road must take the roundabout detour to reach its des- tination. The local freight rd force has not been affected thus far although the employes are waiting hourly for some word from the union of which they are members. An old railroad man stated this morning that he was of the opinion that his associates were doing wrong. His idea of results would be to have all traffic stop at once and mnot have small groups of men stop work here and there throughout the country. The effect which the men want would soon be forthcoming if ail railroad work ceased throughout the country at the same time.
