The railway executives here today
in letting their decision he known.
made no concealment of their feeling
that government operation is a step
toward government ownership and
made clear they felt the public and
the stockholders would demand it,
AT the same time it became known
the railroads had refused the BROTH
erhoods' demands 1t was learned that
the railway workers had decided not
to press their request for a period Of
at least thirty days or until~it is .seen
just what the railroad situation will
be. KAY
The railroad brotherhood chiefs al
ready have assured the president that
under no circumstances would they
tie up telephone while the wage ques-
ton was at issue.
Railroad executives here today ex-
pressed their feeling that the trans
portation system never will go back
into private hands. gave two reasons:
First, they do not believe the stock
holders will agree to it with revenues
guaranteed under government oper-
alton, and second, they believe that
the formation of a continental railway
combination will make 1t impossible
to go back to the old competitive sys-'
tenn.

securities proba bly, will be provided

geSt to congress It would pass on
all securities proposed and would buy

THOUSANDS GET GREAT REWARDS
 FOR CONFIDENCE
Implicit Faith in Tanlac Has Been Brought About by
 Circumstances

Sound statements are based on ex- act knowledge and such knowledge can only be gained by experience. The great faith hundreds of thousands of people have in Tanlac, the National Tonic, has been brought about by circumstances.
 Most people judge Tanlac as a man judges an old friend, not by a quick impression, but by what they have actually seen 1t do.
 Beyond the evidence of any one locality stand tens of thousands of people in all parts of America. who are ready to vouch for Tanlac. These are people who are grateful for the relief Tanlac has given them in stomach, kidney, liver and catarrhal ailments.
 Tanlac's healing and strength -giv- ing qualities are derived from roots herbs, flowers and berries, gathered in many parts of the world.
 Many say they actually have not known what it was to eat with com fort for years before they took Tan lac. Others say it has restored their nerves and brought them peace full, restful, healthy sleep. Still others extol its merits as a blood purifier, a remedy for catarrh, and the many ills which arise from a catarrhal condi- ton of the mucous membranes.
 Tanlac is being introduced in Nor wich at Smiths Rx. Store, POS Main street It may also be obtained in Jewett City at Germans Drug Store, and in Colchester at Otis Pharmacy.

SHEPARD EMPLoYES
 GO OUT ON STRIKE.
Half a Thousand Men Want an Eight
 Hour Day.

Between 400 and 500 men in the en- pIoy of the United States Steamship company at the Palmer shipyard Noank went on a strike Tuesday morn ing for an eight hour day. Carpenters, b1acksmiths, ironworkers, electricians, steamfitters, painters and all the help CTS in these departments are out A Sabbath quiet hovers over the village and there is not the least sign of a disturbance in any section The men are quietly gathering in groups or re- maining in their respective homes, talking things over, with no show of excitement The shipyard is closed and the big gates are padlocked.
 The trouble started over the posting of signs in the yard several days ago stating that on Feb. 1 an eight and a half hour day would be the working schedule, with pay and half for over time.
 On Sunday the men met in New London, where many of them reside, and a committee was appointed to draw up a paper telling the company what the men desired. This was to the manded, with double pay for ov&time, Sundays and holidays, with the Same wages as at present.
 It resulted in the immediate dis charge of the entire committee and in sympathy and also to show their de- mand was meant the men struck Tues day morning.
 Those going into the village on cars of the Groton and Stonington line were met by mates at the waiting room and promptly joined issue with the strik- CTS.
 The men have been dissatisfied for some time and the decision of the company to give them an eight and a half hour day only added to it.
 It is expected that MT. Morse, presi- dent of the company, will arrive today.
