TROLLEYMEN OPPOSED TO WAGE REDUCTIONS Sentiment Here Seems to Be That of Entire
 State

John kenney, representative of the New Britain trolleymen to the Hart ford division of the 'Trolleymen's union stated this afternoon that no official count Of the votes cast yester- day on the wage question had been received in this city today.
 It is estimated, however that of the so men in New Britain who were eligible to vote, about 90 per cent were opposed to the reduction in wages as' planned by the Connecticut company. It is also stated that about every man on the local lines voted as being in favor of the working con- ditions in this city.
 The trolleymen had until o'clock last evening to cast their vote on the question of reduction in wages and the acceptance of working conditions The ballots were taken to Hartford where the voting ceased at 9 o'clock and several local men waited until late last evening but did not secure the results of the voting.
 Meriden, May 24.-No definite fig ures could be secured here today on the result of the balloting of the Meriden trolleymen last evening on the wage situation but current re- ports are that the motormen and conductors almost unanimously voted to turn down the proposal of the Connecticut Co. for a cut of cents an hour in their pay.
 South Norwalk, May 24-Norwalk trolleymen almost unanimously re- jected the proposed ten per cent wage cut offered by the Connecticut Co. at a special meeting here. The results of the ballot were not officially an- nounced here, the returns being sent to New Haven, k.
 Waterbury, May 24-The Connec- ticut company's proposal of 10 per cent decrease in the present wage scale has been defeated by a vote of the troleymen here, it was learned to- day. The ballots have been taken to New Haven but the figures are kept secret for the present. Trolleymen here say the vote against acceptance of the proposal was more than two to one.

can be banished from use by any band
OF crusaders, while or where people
remain free. Mr.. Ingrsoll proclaimed
the virtues of tobacco as follows:
These leaves make friends and
celebrate with gentle rites the views
of peace. They have given consuIta-
ton to the world. They are the COM
panions of the lonely. the friends of
the imprisoned, of the exile. of work
ers in mines, of fellers of forests of
sailors on the deep seas. They are
givers of strength and calm to the
Vexed and wearied minds of those who
build with thought and brain the tenn
pies of the soul. They tell of hope
and rest. They smooth the wrinkIed
brows of care; drive fear and strange,
misshappen breads from out the mind,
and fill the heart with rest and peace.
Without their magic warp and wool
some potent, gracious spell imprisoned
lies, that when released by fire. doth
softly steal within the fortress of the
brain and bind in sleep the captured
sent1nels of care and grief. These
leaves are the friends of fireside, and
their smoke like incense rises from
myriads of happy homes. Cuba is the
smile of the sea-"
La Vueita Abajo Leaf
In POLITICALLY naming Cuba the
smile of the sea-" Ingersoll, in this
instance, was referring to its fields of
wonderful tobacco, that grown in the
Nuelta district being the finest cigar
leaf on the planet. But, as all old
smokers are aware, too much tobacco
in any form, is plenty. The world
has many well, happy, efficient and
prosperous men who know not the de-
lights of the fragrant after-dinner
cigar But regardless of this fact
millions of virile men of action, men
who rule the destinies and who pro-
vide the commerce of the seven seas.
will tell us that Mr.. Ingersolls picture
of my Lady Nicotine as painted in
Cuba tobacco smoke isn't a bit over
drawn.
