Road Renews
(Continued from Page I.)

year ago last summer, still appar-
 ently exists among some of the form
 CT workers in the East Hartford shops of the company and although time | has softened this feeling to some ex- tent occasional outbursts of temper and hatred disrupt the neighborhood
 in the Bidwell avenue and Holland street sections of the town where
 many railroad workers live, accord
 ing to employees of the shops.
 "In some instances there appears
 to be "a studied effort on the part of former strikers to make life
 miserable for those who remained loyal to the company or came from
 other places to fill vacancies caused by the defection of the shopmen
 Charges that former strikers now
 engaged in road construction and re-
 pair work have made her life almost unbearable and driven hex to the verge of nervous breakdowfha are made by Mrs. Samuel Raymond of 56 Bel den street, short street between the railroad tracks and Park avenue and it's eastern end abuts close to<the ! Eroundhouse and car shops. Mrs. Ray
 1nond lives in little house near the end of the street and her husband is employed in the mill room. They have four small children She says she IS not only subjected to sneers
 and curses by neighbors, families of former strikers who in many cases 1 have since returned to work in the shops, but to constant annoyance by
 men employed in the road gang She
 says while her husband is happily ,, employed in the railroad shops and apparently indifferent to the slurs and insults of those whose enmity they have incurred, she and her children are at home and under constant fire. l Mrs. Raymond says that it is the l things that are said to her children 1 by the road gang and others in the
 neighborhood that have driven her
 nearly frantic and caused her to com plain both to the railroad officials and l the town authorities She says po- 1 licemen sent from East Hartford to Investigate have told her that they could do nothing to aid her and she
 has made three appeals to the rail- road authorities at Union station.
 "Men employed in the car shops have little. to say concerning the trouble and i'll feeling that has been 1 bred as result of the strike, declar- ing they have received official inz structions to say nothing. Foremen
 were more outspollen, but maintained
 that much of the i'll feeling had worn off within recent time. Foreman French, who has general supervision
 of repair work, said that the only re- cent manifestation of trouble occurred
 some few weeks ago when a shop
 workman was beaten by three men. | The assault occurred after dark near 1 the freight house as the man was leaving the yard and to date his as- sailants have not been identified.
 Foreman French lives in Hartford
 and says for that reason he has eN- perienced less of the neighborhood feeling than those who live in the shop district.
 Foreman William J. Benton of the
 can department said he had been sub jected to considerable abuse during
 the early days of the strike and that
 efforts had been made to terrorize his
 wife. She was called on the tele- phone and told of threats against her
