 One man who pays pretty well fpl trolley service says he hopes the strike will last long enough to convince his family that they can reach the stores where they are employed on foot with out any great effort. He says it costs him on an average of $1 a day for cal fare on the street railway cars, al though one can reach the center iron where he lives in less than twenty min utes He believes if the strike lasts { week it will be long time before tht company will be able to show the same earnings per day as it did before the tie up, because many will have become accustomed to walking to and from their work and will be apt to conclude to put their nickels to some other ust besides paying them out to ride shor distances. The shoe dealers are il their glory and look upon the snarl aS

 the healthful practice of walking thei
 occupation will be gone and they'll
 have to move out.
 Horsemen who operate about tn, :" thickly settled portion of the cit, never felt more to home at their worl
 than since the trolley cars stopped running. Notwithstanding the effort Of the company to keep the tracks clea

 like to get along without the trolley
 and it is amusing to note how folk
 differ about it. Horsemen claim tn
 company never should have been per
 m1tted to use the public streets; but O
 course pedestrians who travel long dis
 tances think differently and hope tn
 cars will start again some day. Peo pie who have not walked to their nlace of employment for years can be seer
 hurrying along afoot as usual, and
 bus rattled along South Main stree
 last night putting residents in mind O
 the mode of conveyance between her
 and Naugatuck before such things a
 street railroads were thought of in Wa terbury. ''We can't go quite so fas , without the trolley" said an old time ? to-day, but we'll get there inst th
