LOCAL EFFECT OF
RAILROAD STRIKE
Putnam an Important Freight Transfer
Point
Preparations in Anticipation Of Tle.Up

From Maine to California the eiti-
zens of this country are looking on and
specializing as to the final outcome of
the controversy between the employees
and the railroads of the country. If
the railroad men quit their jobs and
traffic is tied up what is it going to
mean to Putnam? 1t is said that the
railroads are quietly working to meet
such an emergency.
1t is understood on good authority
that should the strike come next Mon
day the Putnam railroad yards will be
put under heavy guard to prevent any
possible trouble if trains are run
through this city. Putnam is one of
the most important railroad eenters in
New England as it is transfer point
for freight as here two divisions of the
New Haven road come together.
In common with other stations on
the line 1t was stated that a rule went
into effect at o'clock Wednesday af
ternoon under which no more freight
consigned TO foreign roads or to points
beyond transfer stations would be re-
ceived at the Putnam freight depot,
Another report in circulation We'd
nesday was TO the effect that in event
of a strike the railroad company will
make a strenuous attempt TO run the
early morning milk train to Boston.
The local dealers are watching the
situation closely but SO far rs known
no amount of surplus food stuffs have
been laid in in anticipation of an inn
possibility to get more provisions when
required. r. H Bradley, local head of
Putnam and surrounding town only
local meat supply says that his con-
Germ receives shipments semi weekly
and that after business is over Satur-
day evenings the refrigerators are
practically bsre.
Mr.. Bradley however believes if ne
cessity arises there would be a good
amount of local beef, poultry, and 9TH
er products available from the sur
rounding farming district.s
Edward w. Mullan says that while
he has his usual stock and reserve at
the store, he also has supplies of butter
and eggs in Boston sufficient to meet
his ordinary needs for period OF six
months. ii necessary these products
could be brought overland in auto
trucks.
Butter, sugar, eggs, cheese, and meat
would soon be exhausted if stocks
were not repIenished. While there is
little danger of food famine If food
stuffs could not be brought to Putnam
the above articles would be missing
from many tables.
Unless some understanding is reach
ed before Monday doubtless many peo-
pie who have made plans To spend the
holiday away will remain at home.
According to statement issued by
Howard Elliott, president of the New
Haven railroad, regarding the order
issued to temployes by the brother
hoods, the strike il il comes will effect
all trains. This statement issued on
Wednesday. concludes:
The public, the press, and the Con-
gress should understand clearly that
the strike order "affects the men VINO
man" the passenger, mail, milk and
express trains, just rs much as those
on the freight trains and that the pas
senger service also must "stand still
until their places are filled"

the funny story told by Mrs. Bertholf.
The quotations of the evening were
from various authors. the one given
by Mrs. Mark Coffin being a beautiful
poem written by the late Queen sylvia
of Rumania. The book review of Jane
Adams Twenty Years in Hull
House. given by Mrs. j. II. stofiel. was
very comprehensive, we'll rendered and
was thoroughly enjoyed by the circle.
This was followed by a description of
Mrs. Gardeners Palace Of Art, Fenway

The study hour was devoted to the
new book, American Ideals. Character
and Life" by Hamilton Wright Mabie.
The preface and first chapter were read
by Mrs. Bertholf and the first half OF
chapter two by Miss Carol Paine. This
portion of the book treats of the ex-
change of ideas between Japan and the
United States and the general discus
sion which followed showed that time

subject by the circle
