NO STRIKE PLANNED
New Haven Road Conductors Not to Raise Trouble About
 Union Recognition.
MANY ARE OLD EMPLOYES
Systcm's Announcement In Regard to Organized Labor Comes as
 Surprise.

The official statement given out by the New Haven road yesterday after noon that tho officials contemplate no actual termination of agreements with the unions on their system, came as a surprise to the union men of tho city. The conductors who were not received by the officials when they asked an audience few days ago. were especially surprised, and one of them last night expressed the opinion that the road was again play Ing for tlmc,
 ln regard to tho report that the conductors were to ask tho local lodges for permission to adopt stren- uous measures, if necessary, this conductor stated that there was not the slightest possibility of strike among the conductors for union rec ognltion, The conductors in the em- ploy of the New Haven road are for the most part well along in years, and men who have been in the service of the different branches of the system before the consolidation came. This ldtl VI ibllh lllil' 'liipl'A hithh ''" gether with the fact of the cutting down of tho number of conductors, will prevent any strike
 During the past six months large number of conductors have been laid off over tho system This is due to the fact that several trains have been taken off. but also 10 the fact that the runs have been heightened One of the reasons for tho asked au- dlence with the officials of the road was the shortening Of the different runs to what they had been before the change.

Rocks and beams were used to open up q way for the watsv 10 reach the heart of the fire, and when the launch came back 10 Gales Ferry it carried tired and smoke begrimed crew. The incident afforded an agreeable diversion to the oarsmen although possibly quite different from the owners point of view
 Professors Durfee and Farrar are at Gales Ferry now and exams will form part of the regular daily routine for some time.
 To-day the freshman crew elected It's captain, choosing Edmund pende- ton Livingston of Catskill, N Y. Cap tain Livingston is son of Herman Livingston of Yale '79.
 The oarsmen are to-day well set tied down in quarters and are adapt ed to the slightly changed conditions already. some minor alterations still remain to be done to the water sup- ply. but the whole system shows im- provements over 1907. The aspect of the quarters will, however, be chang ed when the old Yale men arrive Ad- vlsory Coach Julian w. Curtss, will no doubt be along in a few days, and his presence is one of the features of the annual training period Always genial, invariably courteous to all, and every inch a thorough sportsman l his influence is marked and he Is looked up to by every man in quar- ters. George St John Sheffield, too, who is one of the rellahles on rowing statistics, and is host of accurate information, will make his yearly visit to Gales Ferry soon, and others of Yale's old guard will be there by the end of the next week certainly.
 As to the form of the oarsmen 1t Is early to say much John Kennedy tonight said that weather conditions up to present date had not allowed any fine oarsmanship. Every man, however looks In the pink of condi- l ton and with MT.
