IS TROLLEY STRIKE COMING HERE??

Within a day or two. it is believed, the trolleymen of the Shore Line Elec- tric Railway company will know whether they will have the sanction of the Amalgamated Association for strike to enforce the demands they have presented to the Shore Line Co. for a higher wage schedule.
 Officials of the trolleymen's union would have nothing to say Friday night when questioned as to the prev alent rumor that there had been a unanimous vote for strike. and President Robert W. Perkins of the Shore Line said the company had been given no notice from the employees that a strike was to be called. He ra ther thoughts. he said, that there would be no strike as at the last conference between the road officials and the committee from the employees, the at titude seemed to show desire to reach a settlement without resort to extreme measures, and there was a proposition now being worked out which seemed to promise a settlement

between the company and the em- pIoyes.
 The initial demand of the employees was for an eight hour day with max mum pay at the rate of 60 cents, which would be graded down to other rates, according to years of service. The answer of the company. it is un- derstood, was that they could not af- ford to grant such an increased rate and that they were in such finan- cial position they could only continue at the old rates.
 Following the receipt of this answer, it is reported, that a strike vote was taken, and is all ready to be enforced If it is given sanction by the Anal gamated Association of Street Rail- way Employes, one of whose national officers is expected here early next week
 Early this week it was rumored that boat race day would probably be se- lected as the date for the strike, but ii Is understood this could not be carried out because the vote could not be taken in time.

HARVARD WINS IN TWO
 HARD FOUGHT RACES

. Harvard won both the freshman and the second varsity two-mile races on Friday morning on the Thames river course, by the narrow margin of dozen feet. Both races were marked by spectacular spurts in the last few yards. after the boats had hung close to each other all the rest of the two miles
 In the freshman race, rowed at 1oS0 Harvard had the advantage of the start and drove away under 32 stroke, while Yale set her pace at 54 Harvard, in spite of her slower stroke forged ahead and soon had a half length the advantage. Yale put a lit tie more power into her swing and pulled up slightly. Both crews drop ped their strike slightly and Yale be- gan to fall back. At the mile flag Harvard was three quarters of a length in the lead and pulling 8 strong steady stroke.
 Yale made magnificent bid for the race in the last 100 yards. Both crews were pulling down from 56 to 37. but the blue crew was travelling much the faster and cut down Harvards lead until there seemed a chance that vic- tory might be snatched from defeat. The splendid effort came too late, however, for Harvard went over the finish with a scant quarter of boats lengths advantage.
 While the junior varsity eights were lining up for their race, immediately after the freshman race, the thunder began to boom in the northwest and the sky took on an inky blackness. Harvard had the better of the start but Yale was very little behind in l catching the water and the shells started off on practically even terms Harvard was rowing 34. while Yale managed to keep up her speed with g.
 At the mile the Crimson oarsmer had about 10 feet of lead. Both crews slowed their stroke. Harvard settling down to 31. Yale soon went back te l 34 and her shell gained until it was difficult to tell which was ahead, al the angle changed from the observa. | tion train.
 Almost at the finish Harvard made a gallant spurt and while the rair
 dashed down on the shoulders of tht
 tired oarsmen the line was crossed ant
 Harvards second victory of the da!
 was won by a narrow margin.
 The official time was as follows:
 Freshman Eights-Harvard 1o:
 2-5 Yale, 10:37 Is.
 Junior Varsity Eights-Harvard 10.40 4-5; Yale 10.41 4-5.

DIR. BROPHY IN LUCK
 SEEING THE BOAT RACE

Of all the Norwich people who travelled down Military Highway Fri day afternoon in their automobiles to see the Yale Harvard varsity race, it would be hard to beat Dr. E. J. Bro phy for luck. The doctor is an en- thusiastic Yale man, anyway, as all his friends know, so that his cup of joy would have been full just to have the Blue win, but when he was able to move down the line in his machine tbreast of the two struggling crews the whole distance, nothing could have been finer.
 It all happened quite by chance. Hun dreds of automobiles were lined up, one after the other, along Military Highway, just below Gales Ferry, where fine view of the start could be had. When the pistol cracked and the two eights dug into the water, the line of machines on the bank began to move along with the racing shells, and there was Dr. Brophy's machine in the regular observation train po- sition right abreast of the struggling oarsmen. Following along for the four miles, he had the crews under his eye all the time, and said that he knew almost from the start that Yale would win.

Lang had driven six or eight feet on to the grass at the side of the road to avoid hitting the child. The little girl had managed to get out of the car to a place of safety.

Omaha in its rich and central To-

the airplane building industry. Hun
dreds of flying men are coming home
from war soon, and many of them
are keen to continue their flying.
Omaha is to be on the air mail
