DANIELSON.

| The selectric line from Central Will ] lage to West Thompson was like a
 path through the woods Wednesday.
 as far as traffic was concerned and ftoYns all along the route were de-
 pending on. Jitney service for getting
 about.
 There was no lack of jitneys. but lehaes prevailed so far as routes or orranizatierl- or schedules were con ceFaed. One might go anywhere at any time. if he had, the price, but it was not the kind of service that pro- Iyides fer a ear to leave a certain ain some other particulaF place. And in
 most instanees the fares charged
 were -exerbftaHt. in the sense that one
 had to really hire a car to go where considered unusual. for the public is usually the geat in such situations as the one this section is now experi- eHeing.

But East kiliingly, WauFegan and Central Viii iage, not to Hentian Putnam. were cut off fFan all service with Daniel son expecting g Fagged jitney ar rangeHlent.
 With Danielsea and the territory along the trolley line that feeds bus mess into the borough cut off in this fnanaer from transportation facilities that the people of the territory have become accustomed to in the past. 20 years, and the prospect of the strike being long one. in so far as reces- sion. from it's position by tic trolley company is concerned. the problem facing Danielsen is an important one to business men, to Iaanufa cIurers l and to many other interests, and this l fact vas sinking in "Wednesday, > NefEithstandiRg the incoHwenience 1 being suffered there was no enthusj- asm at aii an,eng the public ever the 1 plan to increase fares as means Of i solving the question. The present l rates are regarded as too high for the 1 distances tFayeied between Central | Village and West Thompson, but they l nave been endured rather than ap- 1 proved.
 One of the bad results of the strike was the closing of the Rhode Island eempany's line between East I<illingiy 1 md DanietsoH, the section that liesi within Connecticut. This is an inn 'ertaht express freight route used a sFeat deal for ma nufaeturers' ship | nentS, for foedStuffS and many otheFi hings. No freight was being accept d in Prevalence on Wednesday nor It any ether point along the line for oanielson. Elmyjlle. Dayville or Put lan, territory that is reached each lay by several express cars of the Rhode Island company. Neither were hippaents being received here or in Putnam for Providence or stations be- ween. The line was in operation, leweyer, between Providence and last Killingly, Rhode Island company rews, who are threatening to strike 'riday, operating.
 Several mills in this section found unnbers of their employees absent on Wednesday morning when work was tarted- These workers could not get } their employment because of the trike. At the Connecticut mills here nd during the day the company was to arrange for the daily of their people affected '. the trolley tangie. Of the towns in this section. Put am was taking the lead on Wednes- ay in getting it's jitney service or anized on a regular scheduled basis l 3 as to protect it's business interests l-c l all of the surrounding towns. This ( Ian is also regarded here as the pro- CT r4ethed of dealing with the pres $ nt situation. though little along that 2 ne had been done on Wednesday. T Few of the striking trolleymen were . l evidence on Wednesday. Most Of l lem have their homes, it was rainy, | r copy day. which they evidently en-d ( wed as day of rest. worrying lit V c about the strike.
