TROLLEYMEN TO
ACCEPT OFFER OF
CONNECTICUT co.

Announcement has been made that
the controversy over wages and
working conditions between the troll
leymen and the Connecticut Company
has been practically settled by ac-
ceptance of a compromise offered by
the company.
This compromise offers a wage
scale of "a to 40 cents an hour.
There are a few points regarding
working conditions yet to be settled.
BY vote taken Tuesday last the offer
was accepted by a majority of about
IFS
The men asked for wage scale of
40 to AS cents, as against the present
scale of 26 to 80 cents. They claim
ed that conditions brought on by the
war made this advance necessary.
The men first rejected the compro-
mise, because it was attached to an
agreement for a term of years. When
( it was changed to an agreement for
one year it was again put to vote and
accepted by the men.
1t is expected that the remaining
4 differences will soon be adjusted by
conferences.

one, for example means that the en-
CINE crankshaft makes four and a

not difficult to understand that a car
so equipped will have a faster get

and on hills, in high gear, than a car
with three-and-a-half-to- ratio,
The latter car would have a greater
maximum speed than the former be-

june a. NAMED
AS FLAG DAY
BY GOVERNOR

Governor Holcomb issued a pro-
clamation designating Friday, June
IA, as Flag Day. The proclamation
follows:
at hereby designate Friday, the
14th day of June, next, as
FLAG DAY
upon which day suitable exercises in
commemoration of the adoption on
June 14th, 1777, of the Stare and
Stripes as our national flag shall be
held in all public schools. The chill
dren should be taught the principles
and ideals represented by our flag;
that each of it's 4S stars represents
sovereign state and that combined
they repreent the greatest republic
in the world. They should be taught
that this republic was established
with the sacrifice of lives and suffer-
dng. They should be taught the sig
nificance of the service stars which
we see all about us, and that the
owner of each gold star appearing in
increasing numbers has paid the su-
preme sacrifice in this war which is
to determine whether liberty shall be
preserved to humanity. They should
be impressed with the fact that sac
rifice is the price of liberty and that
the responsibility rests upon them in
their day and generation to preserve
the liberty they inherit for the gener-
atoms which shall succeed them.
Every day should be flag day with all
Of US, and we should pray to our God
to give us an enduring peace founded
upon righteousness.

the state at the Capitol. in Hartford
this twenty-ninth day of May, in the

would be necessary to shirt to a lower
transmission gear earlier, with such
car, than with a four-and-a-half-to-
one ratio. This is so because the
gasoline engine depends on it's speed
for it's power-it generates greater
power at the higher speeds.
The Importance of quick getaway
in a car used a great deal in city traf-
f1c, or pulling ability on high gear in
rough and billy country, almost die
tates lower gear ratio. The owner
who drives mostly in level country, or
who prefers occasional gear-shifting
to any sacrifice of speed, probably
would choose the higher ratio. The
safest course, for the average owner
looking for good all-around perform
ance rather than mere speed, would
be the lower ratio.

GEAR RATIO IMPORTANT
TO GOOD PERFORMANCE.

Among more or less technical motor
car terms the rear axle gear ratio is
probably as puzzling and meaningless
as any other to the average car owner
or layman. 1t applies to the number
of teeth in the rear axle gears which
transmit the engines power to the
driving wheels. In other words, it
governs the relative speed of the en-
CINE and the rear wheels. as that re-
lation pertains to maximum and min
imum car speed, getaway and pulling
ability.
