Waterbury Democrat., 1903-01-14

rom In0 l.lO LEdlA dAQ uAuCA AA direction marched to the lighting sta Etion. where MT SewelI was evidently lawaiting their arrival, for the first man who approached him from the crowd The greeted heartily. These were the non union men who were expected on lthe Il :12 train. There was the great lest excitement at the depot when the Imarch began, but no attempt at vio- Hence was made. The employees of the factories along the way hissed and ihooted the men and a great crowd fol- lowed them to their destination. They were taken into the lighting station with all possible speed, and MT Sewell immediately drove to the car barn. The men are directly the opposite of the neat and trim looking strikers. They did not look overburdened with intelligence or prosperity and under iother circumstances would be the last kind of men that MT SeweH would care to put in charge of trolley car.
 Tt is very strange" said one of the tstrikers, 'twhy the management of the road should be so careful about put ting men in charge of a car, and now they intend giving cars to men who evidently do not know the first thing about running them. 1 know that l had to work three or four days on a car before I got to be motorman. If any accidents happen it will not be hard to find out the cause
 The New York Quick Lunch at 343 Bank street has offered all the coffee they want to the strikers.
 The car barn and the police station were in almost constant communication with each other all this afternoon, the former asking advice as to the best way to get the men who came on the train at 1:3O o'clock from the power station to the car barn. Chief Egan said the best way was the straight way, up Bank street and over West Main, but the voice at the car barn did not seem to approve of that plan. No at tempt was made to run the cars this afternoon and none will be made until this evening. That was the plan at 3 o'clock There were rumors on the street all day that cars would be start ed in the afternoon and crowds gath cred on Exchange place to see them come. but they waited in vain. The police are ready to give protection.
 At 3:15 o'clock two cars came out and went direct to the power station to take the strangers to the car barn. Su perintendent Wales was at the motol on the first car and strangers were in charge of the other.
 The start was made without any bother, but the return trip was fraught with a series of interruptions. Wagons of all kinds happened to be pn the track and owing to the ice on the streets had difficulty in getting off. control of MT sewen, was blocked several times. A furniture wagon game near toppling over on it, coal cart was right across the track, an other wagon loaded with building ma terial kept the tracks for quite dis tance after the car started again, and all this time the crowds in the street were hooting and missing. It was the most sensational trolley trip ever seen here.
 This morning there was no change il hha strike of the trolley men. It ap Deared to be as firm as ever. But I Ewas observed everywhere that Mana ger Sewell had failed to keep his word Ito get the cars started, and that thl Twas the second time he had failed Il Etflis respect toward the public. Mon Eday he said he was positive he coult get the cars in operation Tuesda. morning. Yesterday he said he woul' without fail have them going thi morning, but yet not a car moved thi morning, and apparently no attemp kWas made to do so. Yesterday he sa1' he had all the men he could possibl. use. This morning he is quoted a saying the same exact words and tha he will have cars moving this after noon.
 The strikers say that no new mel fhave come to the city to take tnel Dlaces. while MT Sewel says ther have. and more than this, that ther are Pinkerton men also to. take car of the non-union men in case there i an attempt made to run the cars. Yes herday report was current that loca men out of employment would be en gagged on the cars, but this report wa secuted by the people in general wit the remark that men who would so dis tinguish themselves would make Twin here intolerable for themselves. Dur ing another strike in this city the sam words were used under the same cil cumstances almost, yet men did S make themselves prominent and the are living here to-day and as contente as those who remained with the ran and file. It is not doubted for mf meat that when the cars do nov
