MILL OPERATIVES UNEASY. Threatened - Railroad Strike Would Mean Disaster.. for. .Many Thou- sands. More than 10,000 mill operatives 'In i plants along the “Norwich_and Wor- § cester branch of the New Haven sys- % tem were among those who on Satur- 3 day could ot see anything noprishing fin the railroad strike cloud looming so ominously at that- time.. They know that a strike means the closing down of the factorles that give them em- §ployment, and that closing down f means, for many hundreds of them, % facing the high cost of living without § money to meet that cost. The prospect fon saturday was a Dblack one, for Fthese operatives know they must suf- ¥fer on account of wrangle and turmoil ¥in_which they have no concern. § Here in Killingly a railroad strike Sof-any length would mean temporady £industrial disaster for the thousands of mill workers and the concerns that employ them. Mills in Danielson, Eim- Cville, Dayville, Attawaugan, Ballou- £yille, Pineville, Williamsville and at East Killingly could not long remain $in operation with the railroads—the farteries through which flow the in- fwara tide of raw materials and the £ outward tide of finished products—idle, § or nearly so.

Strike talk filled the air here Sat- urday afternoon, but through all of it ran a current of comment expressive of a general belief that there would be S5 ast. hows, aitewhent ane thas 1ne strike would never take place. publie showed unusual interest in \h. acute situation that had developed be- tween the trainmerfs brotherhoods and Wflmfl managements, this in- St chiefly due to the fact that a strike would bring home, directly or in. disectly, to about eéveryone, some ;mplnasant inconvenience or monetary Trainmen and other rilroad employes were pestered with questions as to hourly developments and at.the station here there were anxious onlookers, ‘waiting for something “to break.” State of Maine Express Suspended. Traffic on passenger trains through this city was unusually heavy, and numbers of strangers who were await- ing trains for home points admitted that they were hurrying out from un- der. though there appeared to be no need of such hurry, as there has been no threat of immediate suspension of passenger service. It was significant, however, that the State of Maine ex- presses through here were ordered suspended after their Saturday night A freight embargo also went in- orce here Saturday on all ship- ments, on account of the imminence of a strike. Saturdéy afternoon at the ticket of- fice a% the station a notice, ordered by the division superintendent, was post- ed to the effect that owing to the im- pending trainmen’s strike., passengers were to be notified that tickets were being sold only subject to delays of tranms. Special Police Detail. ““CaPtain Joseph A. Ryan, of the city department, received a request diring Saturday for four special officers for duty on railroad property and two of them went on for night duty at 6 p. m., Officer Welch at the railroad:sta- tion, Officer Gagne at the coal chute in the railroad yards. Two other of- ficers went on duty Saturday, and this guard arrangement was, according to_Saturday’s plans, to remain in force until the strike situation clears. Students Leave Early. The.last of the students at Pomfret school,- most of them resident in New York and points farther west, got away from Pomfret Saturday. Many oth- ers left Friday afternoon and even- ing. The voung men were not to leave for the Haster recess until Tuesday of this week, but owing to the strike pos- sibility led the school management to order an endingz of the winter term at once, so as to allow time for the young men’ to get home before a tie-up be- came effective. St. Patrick’s Party. At the home of Mrs. John Sabin on Saturday evening, Misses Elizabeth Donovan, Bertha Lewis, and Agnes Os- borne, teachers in town, gave a St Patrick’s party for the teachers. and the members of the faculty of the high school and trade school and their wives.
