TrOIIeymen Kick On Readjustment
 Of Tripper Runs

Following the. readjustment of the runs of the employees of the Bridge port lines of the Connecticut Com pany, the Bridgeport division, Anal gamated Association Of Street and Electric Railway Employees have al1- pointed a committee to confer with Supt. Charles H. Chapman in an ef- fort to adjust a matter in which some ly treated. The rearranged runs cut out the overtime tTipperS and these trippers have been added to the runs of the early day men.
 Before this new order of things went into effect many of the men who are old in the service of the company, and by virtue of this service, have sought and received the early day trippers. Under the old system these men received double time for running the trippers. In the new order of things the trippers have been made part of the runs without the extra pay.
 Naturally the men who had these runs have registered a. kick, and the kick has taken tangible form of a complaint to supt. Chapman. At the last meeting of the association held Thursday night afn Concordia hall a committee of which Presid mt James Dooley is chairman, was appointed to wait on Supt. Chapman in the mat ter.
 The present wage scale agreement with the men expires 1n June ana a read justment of this wage scale is at present a concern of the organizaz tion. In fact, the matter has been under consideration at a recent meet ing of delegates of employees of the company from various parts of the State.
 It iz said that the members os the Amalgamated Association are not a unit on the protest that is to be made t0 Supt. Chapman. The early run men in the past have had the best runs as far as hours went, as we'll as the best pay, and 1t is said that the change in the system was made be cause the old system gave dissatis- faction to the men working the late runs.
 Supt. Chapman said this morning that as yet he had not been visi ed by any committee from the trolley mems union and the appointment of the committee and the action of the Amalgamated Association were all news to him. He admitted that the change in the runs had been made and was in effect Feb 1, and said that the change was considered neceS- sary to good raiiroading.
 It is said that the trolleymen have accepted the change in the schedule under protest pending hearing before the officials of the Connecticut Com pany.

 Columbus, O., Feb. 5-If Senator LaFoIlette wtthdraws from the Presi- dential race, it will mean that the progressive Republican League of Ohio, according to John D. Fackler, of Cleveland, its chairman, will inn mediate.y swing into line for Colonel Roosevelt.

 eff Senator LaFollette's illness ne- cessitates his withdrawal from the Presidential race it will bring sincere sorrow to thousands of his devoted friends and followers in Ohio, who are wiling to support him regard ess of the probability of success by reason of his well known and consistent devo- ton to progressive principles
 Fortunately, the Republican party has another consuicious and able lead CT to whom 1t can turn and I believe that Colonel Roosevelt should be drafted into the service

He made and kept a large number of friends outside his professional relations, while his duties at one time or another brought him into the homes of almost every family within a radius of five miles of his home, in Tashua. Advancing years caused him to relinquiSh most of his professional duties of late, and during the past two years he had lived a life practi- caIly of retirement The inroads of his disease latterly made him take to his bed. pr. Hills death had been expected for a week.
 He is survived by a widow and one sister, living in this city.
