BUS OPERA TORS
 FAVOR STRIKE
Only Ten Cast Ballot in OppOsitiOn--Ne
 on With C. K. &L. Co.

All but 10 of the more than 400 drivers of the c. R. &E L. lines in i've cities voted to strike to back ID their demands on the company, union officials at Bridgeport an- nounced late yesterday. Strike votes of drivers in Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Britain, Derby and NorWalk were tallied yesterday at Bridgeport.
 The basis of the claims against the company, upon which the strike vote was motivated was not disclosed P. J. OBrien, international oficer of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway and Motor Coach Employes, A. F. of L., will seek to arbitrate with the company, backed by the force of the strike vote.
 A. J. Drummond, local superin- tendent of the line, said today that from year to year an agreement has been in force between the company and the employees. Discussions this year concerning the agreement con- cerned wages and working condi- tions as well as other incidentals, he said. He said he did not believe the workers were "resentful' toward the company as result of the negotia- tionS.
 It is understood that the dispute centers about wage increases and the objections of the drivers to pro- posals of the company that they buy their own uniforms.

SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSED BY HOOP
Youngsters Prank Termi- mates Electric Service in
 East End Section

A small boy threw a metal hoop over the high fence around the Connecticut Light & Power Go. sub- station on Silver street last night, thereby causing 8 large section of the city to be without electric cur- rent for almost a quarter of an hour. The hoop shorted main lines carry ing 13OO0 and 4,600 volts, causing high voltage insulators to blow out.
 Crowds were attracted to the scene as flashes went high into the air, accompanied by noise like that of a gigantic fireworks display.
 Repair men went to work imme- diately, and lines were switched to restore service until the insulators had been replaced.
 Lights in the eastern and south- ern sections of the city were of from about 8:05 to 8:2O. Radio broadcasts from local stations were halted due to the power failure.

MORE RAIN SOON HOPE OF FARMERS Worst Drought in States History Makes Crop
 Losses Serious

More rain is needed soon if seri- ous crop losses are to be averted, farmers said today, though the rain fall yesterday and Tuesday night offered some relief. The drouth is one of the worst in the states his- tory.
 Showers Tuesday night and yes terday resulted in 8 total rainfall of close to one inch, more than had fell in the entire previous four weeks. The month of May was one of the driest ever recorded in vest ern Connecticut.
 Some farmers said today that much of the hay crop is already ruined. This may result in an in- crease in dairy prices in the fall. Fruits and vegetables were aided by the rain yesterday, but much more moisture is still necessary for any appreciable harvests.
 The steadily blazing sun and the absence of rain has resulted in lawns and golf courses becoming scorched badly.

Many projects such as the digging of snake pits, building of aquariums, animal boxes, bird houses and so on, collection of butterflies, insects. minerals, leaves, woods and the construction of @ na- t,ire trail with its hundreds of little interesting tasks will go long way toward the certainty of @ real happy and worthwhile summer for campers at the club site in Middlebury.
