 Jitneys on the Job.
 The jitney brigade rushed to the rescue of marooned citizens, however. As early as 6 a. m. cars were on hand to take mill operatives to their work in EImville, Dayville, Williamsvil1e, Wau- regan or any other place where they wanted to go. Later in the morning more jttneyS put in an appearance, and by noon there was surplus of cars in the service. The same was true in towns and villages all along the trolley line. The jitney men were not at all fussy about meeting the trolley com panys copper zone rates, which repre- sent slight advance over the old nickel for fare limit scale, but went to it strong, asking, for instance, a dollar a passenger from DanieIson to- Putnam. The trolley company's rate is J8 cents.
 Paid What Was Asked. Rates of different drivers varied, there being no fixed schedule of charg- ing but in every case the prices were high above what is charged on the electric cars. The many who must travel paid what was asked, though, and got to business in more or less style. For Hire signs continued to fash on additional cars throughout the day, So there is no reason to doubt that there will be plenty of means dur ing the strike to get quickly from town to town if one is willing to pay the price.
 Student Transportation Cost increased. An interesting phase of the strike situation was it's effect upon what l might be called the student service. A large number of Kiliingly High school students come into Danielson every morning by trolley They represent all I the villages of the town, other towns and communities, some few coming from Poster. R. I. They travel on school tickets, at special rate. Thursday morning 31oSe who came to school had to be brought here in au- ton1obiles. This cost five times and In some cases ten times as much as the trolley ticket costs, and the stu dents were on the verge Thursday of that will mean quitting their studies until such time as the troileys are again in operation or the town sees fit to meet the cost of their transpor- tation. Incidentally some of the stu dents seized upon 5Iae trolley tfeup as an excuse to cut scheol-claining lack of transportation facilities.
 Road Kept Mail Carrying Contract.
 The trolley company managed dur. ing Thursday to comply with its mail- carrying contracts over the line be- tween Danielson and East KilIingly. Walter Card was appointed by the company to carry the malls by auto mobile between the places mentioned, and he performed the service during
 Milk Sent by Teams. More than 1000 quarts of milk were also sent out of the town in the morn ing, teams taking it over to East Kil- Hngly, where the milk car was run to take the milk into Providence. this car in charge of a Rhode Island company crew.
 Stopped Freight Service. The strike cuts off Danielson's trol- 1 ley communication with Providence and intervening towns along the old Providence and Danielson road, which I is in operation, however, between Prov lidence and East Killingly. This means | that Danielson's quickest service for perishable goods is put out of conn mission for the time being Officials of the Rhode Island company, knowing ] Wednesday night what was coming, notified concerns here that they would be unable to get their cars through to l Danielson on Thursday.
 Kept Power Up. I At tn epower houses in this section I the usual force of men was on duty l and the power was kept on the line all I day Thursday, the company being ready to put out cars at a moments | notice.
 Guards at Power House. l At the carhouse in Dayville Special | Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw was ih charge of guards placed on duty 1 there. The strikers did not create any l disturbance whatever, though, and i there was nothing for the guards to do except remain at their posts.
 Heavy Loss to Business.
 DanieIson's business houses suffered from loss of out of town trade Thurs | day, but other trading centers were at the same disadvantages, if there is any consolation in regarding the matter I from that standpoint.
