NO DIFFICULTY IN
 STRIKE SITUATION
 AT LOCAL STATION

There is no serious trouble at the local railroad station and from pres ent appearance there will be no seri- ous difficulties, was reported today The statement that police protection has been asked for the power plant at Cos Cob in Greenwich is false as far as could be learned. E. J. Flick of the local station declared that he had heard of no trouble The old employees, he declared, have caused no trouble whatsoever.
 At the local station men were be- ing hired to fill the positions left va cant by the striking carmen and ma chinists. They are being sent to every locality where there Is va cancy, but practically all of the sta tions in this section are well taken care of. If any more men are hired they will be sent to stations in the northern part of the state.
 If the electrical workers who are now in Stamford go out on the strike that is planned for o'clock tomor- row morning there will be a chance to hire a great many local electri- clans to fill their places. Stamford is the only city in this part of Con necticut where electricians are em- ployed to repair the electric engines which travel between that city and New Haven. The closing of the cleo trical plant in Cos Cob will mean a serious tie up on the New York, New Haven & Hartford line.

CHARITY FUND IS GIVEN BOOST BY
 BASEBALL GAME

IA substantial sum of money will be divided between the Elks and Bridge port firemen for charitable purposes from the ball game stages Saturday afternoon at Newfield Park, which was won by the f1remen by a score Of to 3. The E1ks saved themselves from a shutout by scoring thelr three runs in the ninth.
 Al Jennings, the oldtime catcher, who was in the firemen's lineup was struck in the nose by one of LaveryS curve shoots. The injury was pain full but not of a serious nature.
 A lively argument ensued during the game between the opposing play CTS and umpiTeS. The kick was over a balk. The umpires, MeSsrs. Dewey and Whalen. were in the dark on the issue, but a rule book was discovered and the tangle straighten- ed out satisfactorily to both sides.
 Lavery, Gallagher and Robinson was the battery for the Elks, while Bowden and Butler were in the points for the fireulen.

MAYOR WANTS CITY
 CHARTER REVISED

 s Mayor Atwater will ask the charter revision committee consisting of Ju- Illus MeltZer aEd William IA ReddIn, appointed nine years ago to revise and codify the city charter ordinances and manuals, to make a report to him at their earliest possible con- venience.

Board To Consider
 Longer Year Tonight

At tonight's meeting of the Board longer school day and year will be definitely settled, it was stated by a member today. The question of the "staggered' system for the High school may come up, but this has not been definitely settled. Acting Su- perintendent of Schools E. Everett Cortright is out of town today, and it is rather doubtful whether the ques- ton will be acted upon without his advice.
 Other routine matters ara expected to come up for action. The question of selecting a new school superintend- ent will not come before the board, it was stated.

ADOPTS
SPRING SHACKLE
New Design Permits of Easy
Adjustment to Avoid
Side Play.

Peerless engineers have appar-
emily eliminated what has always
been a great source of worry, the
shackle bolt nuisance. At least
that is the opinion of many who
have become we'll acquainted with
the new Peerless eight which was
put on the market about a month
ago.
For years, it is said, the annoy
ing rattles caused by side play in
the spring ends have perplexed the
automotive engineers who sought
to overcome them.
Various methods have been tried
In some cases the annoyance was
lessened temporarily by drawing
up the shackles, and in other cases
it was necessary to add shims.
With the new Peerless. however,
both shackles and shackle bolts
are of special Peerless design
which calls for extra large dimen-
sions and allows an amazingly easy
external adjustment for side wear.
without the necessity OF removing
a single part
The adjustment of the Peerless
spring shackles for the prevention
of side pay Is accomplished merely
by loosening the nut on the lock-
ing bolt through the head of the
spring bolt. and by inserting a
screw driver in the locking cup to
relieve the tension from the nut
Thus the side play is taken up with
the tightening of the nut
This. it would appear. is Infinitely
easier and less annoying than hav-
ing the car laid up while the
shackle bolts are pulled and new
bushings fitted.
