PUTNAM LOCAL WAS
 CANCELLED, STRIKERS CLAIM

Railroad men in this vicinity are awaiting the result of the strike ballot which is being tabulated Nothing off, cial has yet been received at the office of the New London Division on the vote figures. However. reports indi- cate an overwhelming decision in favor of a walkout. Divisional Chairman Moses A. Savin had nothing official to report, but stated that they had been advised on good authority that the re- ported action of the labor board in or dering their privileges restored, pending final decision in the matter was authen- tic. The privileges referred involve Sat urday afternoons and holiday pay. sick leave and annual vacation allowances.
 At the quarters of the striking shop men at Carpenters hall in New London there was an unmistakable air of conf dence Thursday, concerning the ultimate result of the strike. The men asserted that the railroad equipment was running down hill fast. despite statements issued by the road to the effect that traffic was moving along in satisfactory fashion. The strikers maintain that the freight service Is being sacrificed to keep up a pretense of normal passenger service, but the strikers insist that despite con- centration on the latter, that the power is going to pieces fast.
 It was asserted that train No. 3so4, N. P. ?, eastbound. with one of the most powerful engines in the service of the New Haven, was sent to the repair shop because of an accident which developed as result of faulty inspection alone. It was stated that the engine is rated to pull $500 tons, or 50 cars of potatoes pig Iron, or anything else. and that a small nut which had dropped from a wrist pin, allowed the latter to drop out 1 and become damned between the guide yoke, which caused damage that will keep the locomotive in the repair shor for six months to come. Had the engine | been properly inspected, they declare, the damage would not have resulted.
 The strikers further declared that while the accident happened at a. m Wednesday morning, 1t was o'clock when the locomotive was dragged into
 Midway, that 1t was so badly damages i that 14 hours were required to get the
 locomotive back where repairs could be | undertaken.
 By way of further proof that the DOW.
 CT is slipping the strikers pointed out that train No. 778 was stalled at Grot on Wednesday when the engine broke down and the crew sent back to Worces ter when there was no other engine avail
 able. The engine was taken to Eridwa,
 for repairs 1t was said.
 The strikers claim that train No. 776 the Putnam local, was cancelled Wed

 One of the interested proberty owners pointed out Thursday evening that if the building is so constructed it will be out of line with the other buildings on the street which set back several feet from the sidewalk line.
 The property owners have talked the matter over among themselves and now there is being circulated a petition asking the court of common council to establish a permanent building line for upper Mo kinley avenue and that part of Broad street which joins Mckinley avenue. It is understood that there are already some 40 to 50 signatures onthe petition which will probably be presented to the common council at it's next meeting.
