MANY NOW IDLE
ON ACCOUNT OF
SERIOUS STRIKE
FIFTEEN THOUSAND MEN HAVE
ALREADY BEEN THROWN OUT
OF EMPLOYMENT
Passenger Trains Move on Irregular
Schedules, While no Freishts at All
are Running on Account of Strike
of the Switchmen.

St Paul, Mimi, Dec. Fully $4,000
men have been thrown out of employ
ment by the strike of firemen on the
13 railroads entering the twin cities
and the situation is growing very ser
ious
Passenger trains were able to move
today on irregular schedules, but all
freight trains were at a standstill.
Flower mills were compelled to close
tonight, owing to the fact that there is
no wheat on hand, and 500 men were
thrown cut of employment.
Many of the commission houses have
been unable to ship perishable goods
to small nearby towns Neighboring
states have reduced their force consid-
erably as a result of the strike.
The strikers do not seem alarmed
over the report that the railroads will
at once import strike-breakers Pres
ident Hawley, of the Switchmen Union
said today that there would be no vio-
lence unless the service was renewed
soon.
The copper mills of Montana have
been closed on account of the strike,
adding to the large number of unem-
ployed.

PAVING WORK IS
TO Be CONTINUED
THE COMING YEAR
PROBABLE THAT VlTRIFIED BRICK
WILL BE PLACED ON PART OF
GLOUCESTER STREET.
Property Owners on Norwich Street
will Have to Lay Sidewalks Under
an Ordinance Passed Some Time
Ago But NotEnforced.

Although 1909, now rapidly drawing
to a close, has seen more paving both
CT sidewalks and streets, in Bruins
wick's history, the coming year will
it is believed, see this good work con-
tinued, and even a greater amount of
paving is expected.
The ordinance introduced at the
meeting of city council last week, pro-
viding that Newcastle street tie paved
with yitrified bricl from Gloucester
to G will no doubt be passed at the
next session of the body, and this
means that the city will, within a few
months, have the four principal blocks
in the business section of the city paw
ed with vitrifed brick
But this is not all Before the COM
ing year has progressed very far it is
more than likely that Gloucester street
will also be treated to some vitrified
Brick 1t is more than likely that this
street will be paved from Newcastle
to Union within the next two months,
and the work may even extend from
Union to Bay.
The paving of this section of the
city has been much discussed lately,
and as Gloucester is rapidly becoming
to be an important business street it
is believed that council will pass an
ordinance providing that two or three
blocks of the street be paved as soon
as the work is completed on New
castle.
Sidewalk paving is to continue as it
! has for the past year or two, as there
: is now in existance an ordinance pro-
viding that Norwich street be paved
all the way from Gloucester to l.. Only
a small portion of the street has been
paved, and though the city has not
rushed the property owners in the
past in the work, they will be forced
to comply with the ordinance. Realiz-
ing the hard times during the past
several months no effort has been
made to force the property owners on
this street to comply with the ordi-
nance, which was passed early in the
year, but the city thinks the people
have been given time enough and they
will now have to pace in front OF
their property.
1t is expected that the work OF pay
ing Newcastle street from Gloucester
to Mansfield will be completed by
February, and new contracts for an
extension of the work win probably
be made by that time.

THE THEATRES
POLI'S

One of the most delicious "bits' in Lovers Lane," now playing at Polls is that of MT. Skillig,'' the village busy man. He is the manager of the town opera house, the city bill poster and somewhat of an actor. In the play he appears for a few moments as the bill poster, and those few mo- ments almost cause the audience to fall off their seats at every perform ance, true to nature is the portrayal Of this role. It is in the hands of MT. J. Hammond Daley one of the most popular members of the stock company.
 Little is known about the Man Be hind,'' or the stage director. The reg ular stage director of the stock com pany at the Bridgeport house is MT. H-~Percy Meldon, well known and re- garded as one of the very best stock directors in the business. Owing to some changes at the Poli house in Waterbury, MT. Meldon had to be sent there. During his short absence MT. Harry Andrews, also well known and talented, in the theatrical world is the Bridgeport Man Behind" MT Andrews is one of the best also, and has shown by his careful stag ing of Lovers Lane'' that he too is master of his profession. MT. An drewS is also a first class actor.
