 Back In 1886, when the present railroad station was built on Church street, there were two railroads serving the city. the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and the New York & New England lino' Since that day the latter no longer exists, having been gobbled up by the former.
 Travelling required considerably more thought and study than 1t does today. The railroads were many in number, some of them little lines, and through trains were not oper- ated over them; consequently in travelling any distance the kind ot "connections" possible was almost as important as the time of the trains departure from the point oi embarkation.
 But there was good train service i between New Britain and nearby cities, perhaps as good as that OK isting today. At least, there were no horde of automobiles and nc 1 trolley cars to take away some O. the traffic, and people took tt wheels they perforce had to go or | the steam cars"
 In the New Britain Observer 0 March 27, 1886, were railroad ad vertisemcnts. The New York anC New England E. E. advertised the following high marks of it's time table;

We told her of our mission and she, holding strangely, went inside to communicate with those dining. A few minutes passed, and then the door opened, slowly, cautiously.
 Three heads, one above another, appeared simultaneously, and three mouths whispered in hoarse unison, How much do you want?"
 Then We told them of our mission for news and not for trade, and with a great burst of laughter the door was flung open and we were ad. mittcd.

SOFT COAL OUTPUT
MAKES STEADY RISE
SINCE LAST MARCH

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-The production
of bituminous coal which was dull
during the early part of this year has
been rising since March. In August
the daily output went above 100000
tons daily average. The prospects
are that there will be further gains in
the industry
There are several reasons for the
increased production,
The first reason, of course, is the
shutdown in the anthracite field.
This already has increased demand
and mines have been speeded up in
anticipation of further increase.
However the fact that the production
of soft coal was increasing before the
anthracite strike was anticipated
shows that this is not the only reason
for the gains.
Industries and households in mid
summer had particularly low coal
stocks and the replenishing Of these
in anticipation of winter has increased
demand.
Then, too, there is the fact that in

URGE MINERS
In Kentucky and Tennessee
to Cast Off Operators
Chains

By international Labor News Service.
indianapolis, Ind-Offcials of Dis
trict 19, United Mine Workers of
America, have addressed circular to
all the miners of southeastern Ken
lucky and Tennessee directing atten-
tion to the starvation wages being
offered in this district and the addi-
tional fact of an increase in demand
for coal. The circular calls on the
men to demand an increase in their
wages.
The circular says, in part: "The
starvation wages the coal operators
are now paying you are such that you
are making only a bare existence,
while the coal operator is piling up
profits through the low wage he. is
paying you and sucking the last ounce
of vitality from within your bodies;
IN many instances they have deprived
you of your constitutional rights to
exercise your prerogatives on election
day. Are you going to continue to
bow to the dictates of these coal oper-
ators and live under the conditions
they are and have been imposing on
you these last two years
We, the United Mine Workers of
America, are still here and will be as
long as coal is mined in this district
