 The handling of freight in the city of Bridgeport today is practically at a standstill.. While officials of the com pany- refuse to admit that such is the case g. close observation of the ground shows that the Water street depot is practically abandoned and bat littie freight is being loaded at the Whit ing street yards. J@pon good authority it is further stated that plans have already been made whereby for the present Bridgeport will be abandoned as a transfer point for shipments com ing over the Berkshire, Naugatucks and other divisions, and 1t is believed that even now these transfers E@re being made in the Harlem yards of the New Haven road at New York city.
 Officials of the company today as- serted that with the indulgence that had been shown them by the various manufacturers in this city, they were able to handle the situs ton, and had even returned to Providence a, numb Der of negroes imported here to break the strike On the other hand it is said by the strikers that the reason for this move was the general belief that the appearance of the colored men would at once precipitate trouble which would hinder settlement be- tween railroad and men.
 Although no leaders for the strikers could be located by reporters for The Farmer, it is estimated that proposals have already been sent to the head

quarters of the International Workers of the World, at New York, inviting them to come here and direct the strike.
 That the situation is assuming such proportions that radical measures must now be taken, was admitted on both sides today and tonight will see the tracks and yards filled with men coming from all points in New Eng land. They will be experienced hand 1ers of freight, and although it could not: be definitely ascertained wheth CT they would be supplied from other freight stations along the line, follow ing the custom usually employed by railroads, it is believed that they will be sent under the direction of profes- sional strike-breakerS.
 Estimates secured from both of f1cials and strikers who have regularly maintained pickets along the water front concur in the fact that less than 100 experienced men went to work this morning, although it was later asserted that 30 of those who went on strike at the boat-Ianding last night had returned.
 The greatest fear is entertained that the strike will not only spread to oth- CT cities along the lines, where the scale of wages is the same, but that traffic here will be tied up for some time to cor1e. The developments of the night will indicate the strength of the strikers.

DR. TOWNSEND IS PROUD OF
 BRIDCEPORT'S HEALTH RECORD

Hartford, May I-Frob1ems of sew age disposal and public health are dis clnssed at some length by Dr: Joseph H. Townsend. secretary of the. State Board of Health, in the monthly buI- letin of that board, issued today. He refers to recent lectures by Dr. Osler at Yale saying that that physician very rightly stated that the typhoid cation of the efficiency of it's sanitary administrations He continues: E
 t'It Is true also that there are three raQuisites for an efficient health or ganization, sanitary Legislation fin har- mony with the latest progress in hy- giene, efficient organization and ade- quate applications to bear the expense involved. While we are proud of the fact that the lastsreportaof the United States Census bureau states that Bridgeport, Conn. had the lowest death rate from typhoid fever for that year (1910) of any large city in the country, 1t is true that the LOST cases with 1a1 deaths reported in the State last year were all preventabIe, and to a much greater extent than in the case of most of the infectious dis -eaEes.''
 Every case of typhoid fever, says Dr. Townsend, comes directly from some other cause, because of failure Ito take proper precautions. He de- clares that a proper system of sewage disposal is as much a. public necessity as a police and, fire patrol. and should not be treated as If intended as source of revenue. He continues:
