 In some of the small offices the en- tire forces have been taken down with the ailment In other offices anywhere from 10 per cent. to E per cent. of the operators are i'll and of duty and the operating staffs in the larger of flces have been considerably reduced by sickness and by the necessity of withdrawing girls from their work in the cities and sending them to the nearby small towns to take the places of girls who are ill.
 Figures gathered by the traffic off cials of the company clearly show what they are encountering as a re- suit of the spread of this disease In Hartford 25 per cent of The force is laid up In New Haven 31 operators were reported i'll. New London has 2l per cent of it's operators ill, Nor cent Meriden 35 per cent. Winsted 25 per cent, New Britain 50 per cent. Middletown 5 per cent, Bristol 20 per cent. Norwich 30 per cent. Wllli- ! mantle p per cent. Putnam 30 per cent, and in many, if not all. or the other exchanges the percentage is as high as the average in those men 1 toned
