 Many Freight Handlers Quit.
 In common with other corpora tions, the New Haven railroad is ex- periencing considerable difficulty in getting enough help for the transfer station in the local freight yards. Many of the men employed at the place have recently resigned, over twenty of them having given up their places last Thursday. The men do not appear to be keen over sleeping in the passenger coaches which the railroad has converted into portable hotels and the demand for labor is SO great that they get work elsewhere without trouble.
 The company is having a hard time keeping it's force intact and if the labor scarcity continues it is feared there will be a return of the con- gested conditions which existed a few months ago.
 New Cars in Use.
