CHARGE IS MADE THAT
 MEN IN UNIFORM OF
 SOLDIERS ARE IN SHOPS
Railroad Officials Disclaim All Knowledge of the Facts as Alleged, but Men Declare the Uniform Is in Evidence in the
 Hartford Shops.

The so-called American Plan' was shown up in it's true light here during the past week when it was stated that among the strike breakers employed by the New Haven road in it's repair shops at East Hartford where three former German soldiers imported to this country by the sec retary of an open shop organization in Hartford.
 The men cannot speak a, word of English and when they reported for work they wore the familiar gray fatigue uniform of the German army. That the news created a sensation is putting the matter mildly, and 1t is doubtful if the now famous Daugh. erty injunction case caused more in dignation and resentment among the shop men.
 A great many of the men who are now on strike saw service overseas and recall a great many former pals who went but never returned. They recall also the number of posters of various kinds placed i'll the yards and the shops only short time ago, a matter of five years, appealing to their patriotism and urging them to fight Germany to a finish so that democ- racy might not perish from the earth.
 Now these same men find them selves without work and claim their places are taken by the very men still wearing the uniform of the country which they were urged to wipe out of existence, imported to this country in violation of the laws of the land to help the railroad fin it's fight against the former employees who are only asking a living wage.
 Frantic denials of any knowledge of these cases were made by several officials of the New Haven road and when questioned General Manager C. L. Bardo expressed great surprise and pleaded complete ignorance of any such practice when Informed that Secretary of Labor Davis had insti tuted an investigation of a report that Germans in German army uniforms were working in the East Hartford shops of the road.
 "I don't know anything about it. It's the first I have heard of it," Mr. Bardo said. "It's against the law and we know it, and we wouldn't do such a thing"
 It is said that the Germans who are alleged to be working in the East Hartford shops are unable to speak English, but MT. Bardo said that the road had no regulations gov erning the speech of a man accepted for employment.
 q have no idea how many men there arc on the road that can't speak English" he said We accept them if they are qualified mechanic ally, that's all:" i
 Vice-President E. G. Buckland of the road refused to comment on the by Secretary Davis or

had been annulled because of no mo- tive power.
 There is no coal in Hartford" stated MT Gilhooly, "and no prospect of the town receiving any Hartfords only salvation lies in a barge of coal tied to dock at Saybrook and if the Connecticut river freezes that coal will will never reach the Capitol City.
 Merchants and business men in the city have united in a protest to the New Haven road and are demand ing that they get the service that the franchise of the road requiIes 1t giv- ing"
 The outlawing of two train crews on a train running between North ampton, Mass, and New Haven, was reported to local strike headquarters. Strikers claim that the distance of 70 miles between this city and North ampton should require freight train but four and one-half hours to nego- tiate.
 This train of freight was on the road more than 40 hours," stated MT. Gilhooly. This is a common occur renee during these days. Train crews are regularly outlawed and at Cedar Hill crews are being turned away II OIII "OIk DGCduSG IS no motive power to haul trains"
 Strike leaders further stated that there had been no coal moved over the New Haven road in some days. Most of the coal that New Haven is burning, 1t is claimed, is coming in to the city on barges and boats.
 Senator Joseph M Tone, who has just returned from Maybrook, N. Y, stated that motive power in this northwestern gateway to New Eng land was so poor that instead of the 700 cars of normal times but 300 cars are now being moved in the yards
 Some days" said Senator Tone, mot single car is moved Various engineers tell me that there isn't a trip that they make but what some accident occurs that will cause hours of delay. The weather conditions of the past two days should bring out many of the concealed defects in the rolling stock of the road"

NEW HAVEN ROAD APPEALING TO PULPIT
 TO WIN BIG STRIKE
THE METHOD ADOPTED.
 THE WORKERS CHARGE Men Declare Road Has Finally Resorted to Ask ing Preachers to Urge Support of Road From the Pulpit in Last Effort to .
 Provide Service.

Charging that officials of the New
 Haven road were attempting to com- bat their efforts to win the strike by inducing preachers to present the roads side of the strike from the pulpit at Sunday services, local strike leaders denounce the devious meth ods which the New Haven road is using to force propaganda upon the New England public"
 Edward Gilhooly, secretary of the local shop craftsmen's organization, stated that while coming from Hart ford to New Haven on late. train he was approached by a clergyman and asked what there was "in this pro- paganda which the road is sending out to the clergy of the state of Con- nectlcut asking that they denounce the strike from the pulpit"
 It was stated at strike headquarters today that other ministers and priests in New Haven have received pam phlets from the New Haven road and signed by both C. L. Bardo and President Pearson asking that such denunclatIon of the strike be made bv the ministers.
 Quoting a Boston newspaper, Err nest Schleifer, international repre- sentative of the International Ma chinists' association, stated that New Haven road officials in Boston have admitted that 'the service given the community by the road is rotten"
 The newspaper account of condi- tlons in and about Boston cites the alleged fact that it required one train two and three-quarters hours to ne got1ate a distance of I2 miles. Strikers said that one of the gaso- lene engines running over the Canal division was one hour and 3o minutes late i'll leaving New Haven, and has been been even later than that part of the time.
 Train S was 50 minutes late in arriving i'll New Haven from Hart ford Thursday night at midnight, it was added.
 MT. Gilhooly, who was in Hartford Thursday on strike business, stated that I5 trains running into Hartford

 II the little cold snap we had here last "Wednesday can tie up the mail service the way it did a real cold spell will surely bear out the claims of the striking shopmen that the first time the New Haven road has little real cold weather the service will fall to pieces.
 The local postoffice got so sick of hearing complaints about the poor service that they decided to post all the mail trains coming into th1s city which were reported late.
 On Wednesday morning the Dul- 1et;n at II o'clock gave the 1nfor11d- tion that train 6o which brings mall from Boston to New Haven and due here at 5:15 had not arrived at this is station up to that hour and a as fra,r5 tnrs t,a;r carreis the bulk of the mall rom no;nts north great many People nau P po1Ii'S do without the mail for that day i least.

LOCAL CIGAR BUSINESS
 VERY GOOD; 6oo ARE
 NOW EMPLOYED HERE

That New Haven cigar manufac- turing is now experiencing a good de- gree of prosperity is evident from the statement made by Frederick Grube, for many years secretary of the New Haven local of the Cigar Makers Union. He said that there are 500 cigarmakers and 100 shippers em- ployed in the New Haven factories, while at this time one year ago, there were at least 100 cigarmakers out of employment.
 Mr. Grube says this is not only an indication of good cigar business, but also of better general businesss for when the times are good, the cigar business IS also fourishing.

The dilapidated broken down service was officially admitted by the New Haven road officially recognized by the state department and officially condemned by Mayor Edward T. Si- moneau and a score of Marlboro citizens at public hearing in the Massachusetts state house, says the Boston American.
 The admission that the service IS bad was made by R. D. Fitzmaur1ce, the general superintendent ot the New Haven road He said lack Of motive power was to blame:
 "The road is i'll bad shape and there is no use denying it," said Com missioner Everett E. Stone of the tate Department of Public Utilities "It is bad all over the system ne New Haven is just beginning to feel the real bad effects of the strike and is doing it's best to overcome it.. :,
 "The strike is an alibi," declared C;tv Solicitor Winfield Temple of Marlboro. "The bad service on the New Haven began long before the
 Mayor Simoneau declared that the service is wretched and rapidly gong from bad to worse.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STARTS INVESTIGATION OF EMPLOYMENT

TO MAKE NO CHANGE
 IN OFFICERS NOW
No Election Till After Strike-No
 Coal in Hartford, the Report.

At the meeting of the International Association of Railroad Machinists, just held, 1t was decided to make no change of officers until after the strike has been ended Although the cleo ton of officers for the coming year should have taken place at the meet ing according to the regular routine, nevertheless 1t was deemed that a change in the leaders in such crisis would materially injure the chances of the success of the strike Thus, the old officers will stand until the strike has been brought to a con- clusion. Chairman John C. Ready re- mains i'll charge.
 Onei of the strike leaders here made a trip to Hartford this week. He reported that there were Is train crews annulled there Thursday, be- cause of lack of engines. He also re- ported that there is not a single car load of coal in the city of Hartford. There IS one coal barge coming into Saybrook and unless this is unloaded immediately, the capitol city will be unable to carry 1t. All of the mer- chants and manufacturers are pro testing over the situation, according to the strikers.
 The strikers say that the gasoline engines, which were introduced on some of the short runs such as the one to Derby, are rapidly deteriorat- ing Steam engines have been sub stituted for many of them. The steam engines are breaking down regularly, as was indicated by an hour and TO- minute delay on the Derby line, yes terday morning, so 1t was pointed out by the strike leaders. .-...-

to be going altogether too far In the

under a governmental grant for re-

live chicken to every egg. With be-
coming modesty he describes the con-
traptlon as "the most comprehensive
machine in the world" That the pro-

respecting his invention would seem
TO be proof positive that there Is no
agricultural bloc in Japan. Possibly
we have arrived at an era of yarns.
