STRIKE AT WINDSOR LOCKS Whittlesey Paper Mill Employes Ob.
 feet to New Schedule of pav.

Windsor Locks. July 1.-The em- ployes of the Whittlesey paper mill went on strike and refused to work yesterday. The trouble was caused by the inauguration of a new system of paying the help which went into effect Monday. For the past few weeks the mill has been running five days and four nights a week, there fore requiring practically two gangs of workers. The night shift worked fifty-two hours a week and the day shift ffty-four hours.
 It was decided by Mir WhittIesey to pay the night workmen for only four days work and the day work men were to get the full five days pay. The officers at the mill hold that if the men worked one week day times, and one week nights. it would even the matter up. The men de- manded pay for ten hours. whether they worked night or day. and. upon Mr WhittIesey's refusal to accede they quit work They also say if they accept the proposed scale of hours, it will interfere with an agreement which they have among alternatives

RIDING WITH VICTORIAN.
Front of Closed Cars Barred to the
 Smoker.


 Smoker.
 No more riding on the front of closed cars. The rule of the trolley company forbidding the same went into effect to-day and will be strictly enforced from now on. Of course this will do away with all smoking on closed cars and what the smokers have feared for long time has come to pass. For some time they have been expecting an edict forbidding smoking on the front end, but it was not thought that all persons would be prohibited from even standing with the motorman.
 Although the rule will not be felt mucA at the present since very few closed cars are operated during the warm months 1t will cause much re- gret with the coming of the cold weather. For a long time this has been about the only city in the state where smoking was allowed on the front end and men accustomed to have a cigar in their mouth a goodly part of the time will find the new rule anything but pleasant.
 There is a rule which forbids per sons from riding on the rear plat forms, but 1t has never been enforced. The crews of cars have been warned thet the new rule will have to be firmly enforced.

OFF FOR QUASSAPAUG
Trolley Cars Began Running To.
 Day For PopuIsr Resort

Electric communication was estab- lished to-day between Waterbury and Quassapaug. The road has been ready for traffic the past few days, but the Connecticut Go thought 1t better to not open for business until the line was cleared up and made presentable To-day at 6:30 o'clock the first passenger car ran to the lake The schedule is as follows: Between 6::30 and 12:30 in the fore noon cars will run every hour on the half hour. From 12:30 to 9:30 p. m. cars will run every half hour, and from 9:3O every hour.
 The last car will leave Exchange place at 11:30 o'clock and the last from Quassapaug at 12:07. The fare is 15 cents from any point with in the town lines of Waterbury. The distance is eight miles and all tickets and complimentary passes are good only to the Country club.
 The ride is delightful one and will certainly become one of the most popular about Waterbury.

Gaelic Associations Order Not to
 Compete for England.

Should the Gaelic Athletic asso- citation, the controlling body over Irish athletic sports, remain firm 1T it's present intention to compel the Irishmen entered in the Olympic games to compete under the banner of Erin, a victory for America ir the international games is practical ly assured.
 Connor, the worlds champion broad jumper; Con Leahy, the great high jumper: sHoran, the hammer thrower; Hynes, the distance run ner, and all the other Gaelic cham pions, have been notified by the president of the association that they must not compete in the games unless they receive official recogni- tion, and are permitted by the of ficials to compete for Ireland.
 Hynes, Morgan, Leahy and Con- nor were counted san to score for England in their respective events, ard if they represent Ireland 1t will be difficult for the English to se- cure sufficient number of points to defeat Uncle Sam's athletes. Un- der Olympic athletic rules Ireland $ athletes are listed under Great Britain and probably will have to compete for England or remain out of the games.
