SLUMP IN NEW
HAVEN ROAD STOCK
CAUSED BY REPORT

New York, Oct. 6-Opening-Price
gave way sharply with the beginning
of the weeks trading. The favorite
stocks were under heavy pressure and
no effective support was offered to
stay the decline. Traders were de-
cidedly bearish and though there were
some forms of real stock pressure it
was due chiefly to professional sell
ing. Steel was again the principal
object of attack. The opening trans
action was a block of 1000 shares the
stock, on succeeding sales, falling to
Sc rs. New Ravens annual report,
showing a deficit of over 81, 100000,
caused a slump of more than a point
in that stock.
MONETARY p1ungfng on the
short side uncovered a Number of soft
stocks in today's market. Clearing
out of margin accounts was a consid-
cradle factor in the&widespread break
in prices. Bear traders operated with
boldness in the absence of scale buy
ing orders and the recent declines.
Stocks came out in abundance from
all quarters and there was liquidation
although it was conceded. that short
selling made up the 4bu1k@of the offer
ings. Tariff uncertainty, the unex-
pectedly poor. bank, stat ement, trade
unsettIementg and DECREASING earnings
played a part in fostering bearish
sentiment. While steel was subjected
to the most conspicuous pressure,
weakness was shown in Union Pacific,
Canadian Pacific, st. Paul and 3sthe
copper and coal groups. Bonds were
eaSV.

COMRADES FOR AZ YEARS IN
BRIDGEPORT BRASS co, TWO
MEN ARE HALE and HEARTY
Ellsworth II. Thorpe And George H.
link Have Seen Several Manage
ments Come And Go In
Big Plant

Compa Mons, friends and fellow en-
ployes in the same room of the Bridge
port Brass Company for almost half
a century, is the odd distinction ac-
corded two citizens of Bridgeport who
have recently celebrated their 47th
year Of employment ii = one factory
here. 4-
El1sw orth H. Thorpe, 159 C1aren
street, and George H link, of 80 Will
Iston street, are the satisfied and hap
py members of one of Bridgeports
landmark factories. Both are ST years
old and by coincidence both came from
other cities to locate here. With the
exception of a few years both have
been in the same department continu-
ous1y since the inception of their SER
vice During all the years they have
been thrown in each others company,
1t is said that not one word of dis
agreement has ever arose between
them, and forming an early friendship
for one another they have ever been
companions.
Thorpe was bornzin 1847 in the little
old brick house at North Haven, but a
few hundred yards Distant from the
scene Of the recent wrecks At the age
of 16 he entered the toy shop in Dur
ham where he became expert SOL
derer.' A couple of years was spent in
Meriden when with the fame OF
Bridgeport spreading about the state
ne came Will -Olh0fS 70 ILLS city d11o
opened a small confectionery store in
Bank street opposite the post office
(now the Bridgeport Public Market)
At the age of 21- he entered the. lamp
burner department of the Brass Com
pa.ny where he still remains.
I. Mr.. Thorpe during. his many years
of life has never smoked or drank
With the exception of a slight physf-
cal defect in his gait which had its IN
ception at his birth he is a hale and
hearty specimen of manhood. Though

a wife by several years. One daugh-
ter lives in New Hampshire. He has
been a devote attendant at church
since the age of 49, having regularly
attended the Park Street Caongrega-
tiona1 church in this city. .a-
: George H. link, likewise ST years old,
was born In New York CITY in 1847.
He was employed in that city until '67
when he sought employment with the
Bridgeport Brass Company. He per-
formed all the various duties ASST gned
to him in what is now known as de
partment IS, the lamp burner and SOL
dering division. He was later made
foreman of the room. At his ideal cot
tage on WiI1iston street, surrounded
by arbors of grapes and a we'll kept
garden he told of the many changes
Thorpe and he had witnessed. in the
plant. When first he came here there
was but a, small building. compared
with the size many additions to the
plant have been now imposed.
Several managem have come and
gone, and many fellow employees have
been carried to their last resting place,
but through summer and. whit ter, rain
and shine, both Thorpe and he, with
few exceptions, have been found at
their daily task
Married shortly after his arrival in
Bridgeport, link has reared a large
family of girls, all of whom are mar
ried though two still remain domici1ed
with their parents. Unlike his friend,
link enjoys a pipe when through his
daily work. He is, a regular attendant
at church and a healthy specimen of
manhood.
At the factory it was said that both
are veteran employees and well liked
both by management and fellow work
ers. But one other employee can ap-
proach them in length Of service, Thos.
Halpin, foreman of the. wire. drawing
department, who comes within few
years of their length of service.

+. STRIKE, 3,l75 TO IS

. Co. :
According to- unofficial figures, the
vote just finished blythe engineers and
hremen of the New Haven road stood
3, ATS to So in favor of strike, which
shows that fully rs per cent. of the
nen favor d strike if necessary. An
nouncement of the result of the vote
has been sent to General Manager G..
L. Bardo, with a. request for another
conference between him and the adj
justment committee of the men. Des-
pfte the overwhelming character of
the vote, it is stated that the men
have no intention of calling a hasty
strike and the men will certainly not
be called out by the committee until
all other methods of setting the mat
ter have failed.
Present indications are that both
sides will be forced to leave the ques-
and the company have too much at
stake to permit a strike if there is
any possible method to prevent it.

Cooperation Among Insects.

The wonderful intelligence OF ants
has often been described, but It 10
not generally known that the common
black ant keeps large colonies OF
green fly, known scientifically az
"aphides." The ants protect the flies
from beetles and other enemies who
would devour them. and the flies In
return furnish the ants with honey. Of
which they are intensely fond. The
ants extract the sweet fluid from the
bodies OF the flies by strOking them
with their antennae.
