 RESPECTS TO THE TROLLEY M0NOPOLY '

| '--f- |. a pr. Edwin F. Bowers. author, plsy- sician, pubIicist and magazine writer, was in Bridgeport few minutes. to- day To a representative of The Farmer he made a few brief and pass- ing remarks upon the trolley service between this city and New Haven. He saids
 "On behalf of my edified DeeIings. \ want to issue a sincere and hearty vote of thanks to the officials of the trolley company that serves New Ha~ ven and Bridgeport.
 They are gentlemen of high moral purpose, actuated by the most tender sympathy and humanistic aItrufsm- or, were it otherwise, they would not be so lutra- conSiderate of the bodily welfare of their favored patrons
 Tt is scientifically demonstrated that the lungs are more readily filled when the body is in an upright posi- tion When a fatu0ue individual sits down, or reclines upon the small of his back and attempts to read his paper while homeward bound-5ehoe- he forgets the gentle art of deep breathing. Not only that, but hfs eyes are subjected to strain, and ocu- lar defects and ablyopias frequently result From all these fell evils and confusions worse confounded we arc OCAtNSAS0 Dy slfiCf BEtHLAS DEA8 1AuQN WHO manipulate the interurban trolley sys- tenn HRex see t0.ttethat but q sum- cient ntfs 8f cars re provided 60 that only very old ladies and children in arms have seats. .t E.

 Tt is an inspiring sight to see the long, low, ra.kish craft-loaded to ahe gun'ales-with all sail set and packed from bow to stern, from lower to h1r- ricane and poop decks with cheering. happy humans, their manly and won1- anly bosoms filled with loving appre- ciation for the delicate ministrations of the trolley company.
 ''I also partook of the generous hos pitality of the aforesaid band of cor morants, standing up, last night. from New Haven to Milford. At the fme, I will confess, didn't apprehend was being benefited as much as was, but after having nay legs mas saged and flexed I was conscious of a great wave of peace, power and be- nightly surging through my being my mind and soul were keenIy aftun- ed to the harmonies of fheo spheres and I found myself bathed in an ef fulgence of light ethereal. SO, with heart overflowing with gratitude and breast beating with high resolve I extend my hearty thanks to thai low ing bunch of buzzards who make up the personnel of the Bridgeport trolley monopoly

Washington. Aug 13-Whether pos sal employees have the right to un- iorize and to strike If they so desire was the subject of bitter debate in xhe Senate, today. in connection with consideration of the postoffice appro- priation bill.
 Senator Smith. Dem., N. C..) con- Rended that no law prevented an Ann erican citizen from joining any orga- faixation. If postal employees were dis satisfied with their compensation. he ksld. or with the conditions of service they had a right to give up their po- sitf0ns at will
 ssNo oreanization under which a strike against the government by pos MaF employees could be arranged should be tolerated. said Senator Root, oi New York s.No organization must as- eume to coerce the government. StriK- ing is not illegal but it must not be turned against the public interest
 "It will be sorry day for this country when we grant the right of government empoyes to strike. There would soon be no government.
 Senator Sutherland. of Utah, de- scfared the provision permitting orga- rization was equivalent to an invita- Efion for the postal employees to affili- ate with the American Federation of Labor and that body will then be able 4o call out the postal employees on sympathetic strike

ALLAN LINER SAFE; MOVING UNDER POWER Struck Low Lying Berg, But Injuries Were Above
 Water Line Corsican Was Proceeding on Course at Low Speed or Damage Would Have
 Been Great

Montreal, Aug. 13-Wireless stations all along the Canadian coast, today, were on the lookout for messages from the Allan Liner Corsican, Mon treal to Liverpool, which reported her bows stove in by collision with an ice- berg. Captain Cooks wireless to the Allan Line offices said the damage to the ships stem was above the water line, that there was no danger and that he was proceeding on his way. The Consican left Montreal with 25 first class, -62 second class and 200 third class passengers.
 Despite the reassuring message from Captain Cook, the Allan official, re- membering the long delay in receiv- ing news of the Titanic disaster and the conflicting reports flashed from wireless station to wireless station up and down the coast were anxious to hear more from the Corsican and eagerly awaited news.
 The first message from Captain Cook said that the Corsican had struck a iow-lying berg in latitude 52-54 north and longitude 52-15 west. The steamer Lake chanaplain was the first to pick up the signal of distress and replied that she was hurrying to the rescue. Almost Immediately came other messages from the Corsican stat ing that the damage was slight. The captain reported that the stem of the vessel was only slightly Htove above the water and that she was making no water. He added that the Corsi- can would proceed to Liverpool. That the liner was not seriously damaged was attributed to the fact that the Corsican was under reduced speed. ;
 The Allan Company today announc- ed that another wireless message was received today from Captain Cook that the Corsican was not seriously damaged and giving more details lok the collision with the iceherg When the low berg was sighted, said Cap tain Cooks message, the ships en- zines were reversed, but not in time and she touched the iceberg. Her bow was slightly stove, all damage be- ing above the water line <
 Captain Cook said he was proceed ing slowly toward Liverpool. s
