YARDMEN LEAVE THE
 CENTRAL VERMONT.
Passenger and Freight Trains Are
 Movins-Wreok at Stafford.

The Central Vermont road in New London was left without a yardmas- ter Thursday when Bernard A. Wynn, day yardmaster, and George Fisher, night yardmaster, did not report for duty. Mir Wynn was called out by the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors, Of which he is a member. He has been on duty since the strike went into effect, discharging his own duties but not being allowed to do any other work than his own. Thursday morn ing, however, he was called out and will not be allowed to remain in the employ of the company while the strike is on.
 George Fisher resigned his position Wednesday night night yardmaster. The exact cause for the resignation is not known but it is surmised that it was because he would not work with strike breakers, although he is not a member of the Brotherhood of Con- ductors.
 The freight steamers are still mak- ing their regular trips between New London and New York but very little freight is being either taken from or brought to this city.
 Several more strike breakers re- ported in New London Wednesday y night two of whom were sent to White River Junction to report for duty. Others are remaining awaiting orders to report and be assigned to work somewhere on the line The
 
 it requires, and although many of these leave after remaining day or two others are quickly sent to take their places.
 Passenger trains are being run into and out of the city without much dif- ficulty and with one or two exceptions the trains are making scheduled time.
 A freight train that left the East New London yards Wednesday came to grief when there was a rear end collision at Stafford with a train in the yards there. One car went off an embankment and will probably be a total loss, while several others were badly damaged. No one was hurt
 A freight train of several cars was being switched in the Sard at Stafford when the northbound freight came in to the yard. The front freight was backing into a switch when the other freight came around the curve and before the engineer. who was on the outside of the curve, could back the train in front, the collision occurred The impetus threw one of the cars in to the river while the front and side of the engine was smashed.
 A slight accident occurred at Staff ford to a freight in charge of Super intendent Costello. A green hand threw a switch while the tender of the engine was passing over it, there by throwing it off the track. Some de- lay was caused by the accident, which was not serious however.
