Factories in the outskirts of the town which employ many hands from the city, in anticipa ton of the trolley strike which went into effect at mid night Tuesday. have made ample arr engagements for the Transportation of their help to and from their york. Many of the factories own several large auto trucks which will be press ed into service this (Wednesday) morning, and those that haven't ma chimes capable of carrying their help will hire trucks or buses for their help. Some of the factories are plan ming to transport their help free of charge, while others will charge d nominal fare to cover the cost of op eratfon and hire.
 The Ponenah company of Taftville will have a bus run from the Falls down Washington street to Franklin square to the mill, and employees have been issued cards entitling them to ride. The company will also have a truck running from -Oecum to the mill
 The J. B. Martin company will have two trucks running from Thames square 10 the mill and. one. from Franklin square to the mill. These the trolleys A fare is to be charged on these trucks.
 As most of the help of the U. s. Finishing company live within walk maintain no means of transportation and those living in other parts of the city will have to get to work the best way they can.
 The Winchester woolen and the Woolen company will have trucks running from Washington square to the mills at Thamesville. They will leave the city about 6.45.

 President Perkins Statement.
 President Robert w. Perkins of the Shore Line road made the following statepent Tuesday night:
 The situation tonight in regard to negotiations that have been going on with our employees is such that we are confronted with a suspension of ser vice at midnight.
 We have endeavored to make per fectiy clear to our employees. as well as the public, that we have. for the past two years. been acting as agents for the collection of monies paid in for street railway service, and that every penny of this money has been turned | over to our employees and the various l from whom we purchase the 1 necessary material and supplies for 1 penny has been available out of earn | lngs for the payment of taxes. rentals, l on bonds or dividends on stock.
 Under these circumstances. we have | told the representatives of our en- ing we could do in the way of increase1 of wage, or increase of operating ex- 1ense, unless it was coupled with in- l crease of revenue. so that the strike | s against the people of this communi- y and not against the corporation for ve have no means of securing revenue except from the people of the territory we serve. and we believe that to raise ,ur rates. except in a very few in- 'tances, would defeat the very purpose or which the increase was made; namely, to produce additional revenue.
 Under these circumstances there vas nothing for us to do but to give to acts, and this we have done.
 In a discussion with the representa- ives of our employees today we offered join with them in presentation of
Norwich bulletin., 1919-07-16

they refused to sign because of q clause which bound both parties to abide by the decision of the board of arbitration, and another clause that would allow our Arbitrator to act as counsel. which is customary in cases of this kind. They wanted to draw an agreement to arbitrate with conditions attached which would prevent us from deriving any benefit from a favorable decision by the board So you see very plainly that it would be waste of conditions attached. tor we could never collect if the board awarded us an i1- crease in wages.
 We will say for your information that a man after three years service in this work gets about seven and a half cents an hour less than is paid for a common 1aborer. We are willing to let you be the judge if this class of work that we are doing docs not war rant better wage than Is paid for common labor
 After this agreement drawn by the company was examined by the com mittee it was. decided to poll the road for suspension of work. which we hope will not inconvenience you for any great length of time.
 Again, let me assure you that we did everything in our power to avert this situation, which was brought about by the company refusing to ar-I oibtrate according to a contract which i was signed by them on June 22, 1918, -o take effect as of. June l, 1918.
 This statement can be verified byl reference to our" contract with the company for 1918.ajsT1la

the case to the public. They with their needs of increased wage. and we with our needs of increased revenue
 for taxes. rentals and interest, and en- rates and patronage as would make it
 possible for the company to meet their demands and continue it's operations in a manner satisfactory to our pa-
 irons. That, we believed this was in-. , finitely more fair than to put the peo-- pie to the inconvenience that would result from a strike or lockout. for,
 after all. this is a quarrel with the
 people of eastern Connecticut and not
 with the corporation, for they are pay
 ing the bills, and. any increase of wage
 that we might grant, or any increase
 of wage that might be granted by an
 arbitration board would have to come
 out of the, people using the street rail-
 way system. It cannot be conjured
 out of the air. It must Scone out of
 earnings.
 We have also tried to impress upon
 our men that if they are. not satisfied
 with the wage that, we are able tc
 collect for them that they are at libeI-
 ty to take up any other line of work that offered better wage or better op- portuniy. We believe that there are many of our employees who are willing and ready. to. continue at the present rate of wage. until, such time as the changed conditions will admit of a higher rate schedule; that any in 1 crease is immediately passed on to the 1 puDltc, as evidenced DIV an award re- l gently made at Danbury. where, on the day following the change of wage, pas senger "a tes were increased to cents within the city and 10 cents outside, and the question of whether opera tions continue depends upon the way
 n1 which the, public accepts this in crease. 1'7ri 6t -T1fe -fs-
 As matter of fact. while the wage ate is. as claimed by the committee n a statement in the evening paper Tuesday, lower per hour than in other industries, the work is steady and the are affected by operating conditions to such. an extent that the | average earnings of our platform men. Or the past year are $2o.2B per week or a 62-hour week, which time may ,e partly waiting time. The highesi ate earned in any one week by T o1atform man was s5216. This. 6f .ourse, as a, result of working ovef. ime. It should be borne in mind tI.at very large percentage of the Ideu ,ave an opportunity for steady work, which results in much higher earnings Der year than in other occupations where wages are higher per hour. but We are not discussing so much the question of the rate of the wage as we are our ability to pay more. and. in. my event, the fact still remains that we are absolutely unable to increase he wage or agree to accept an award If increase of wage until we know vbere the money is to come from.
