SOME CHANGES 0N CONSOLIDAT- Fancy Striping of Locomotives Will Be Abolished and Plain Black Used. (New Haven Union.) It has been decreed that all the fancy yellow stripes on the locomo- tives of the Now Haven road must be removed by an application‘of black paint. Nothing but the initial letters of the road and the number of the lo- comotive will appear in color. The stripes on the whistle, sand and steam domes on the cab and tenders will all he obliterated and nearly total- ly black machines will soon be the rule on this road. The plan will be made uniform on the whole system. Some new engines which the road re ccntly received wcro without the stripes and whcncvcr an old one goes in the shops it will come out with a new dress of black point. That the freight locomotives of the New Haven road are not doing as much work as machines of their i-Iu- perior ability should, ls evidenced by the company's decision to increase the rating of all engines in this class of the service. 10 per cent. This means longer and heavier trains and in some cases an additional brakemsn. The increase in rating holds during the summer only. in case engines can not make schedule time with the addi- tional cars. the matter will be reported to the proper authorities and the poor pullers will be registered to work suit- ed to thcll strength and strontlcr ones now doing light work will be given heavier jobs. President Charles S.

An increase ili wages for II number of its tl-uillmcil is soon to ho annouuc. cd by the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, Semi'oiil- ciaily several of the trainmcn have learned that the company has decided to adlance tho wages of a number of the men. About Iii) per cent will of course not be increased. The increase Is to benefit principally the lowest paid iraiIInII-n. A short time ago the trainmen pre- sented It request for an Intci'pretatlon of their schedule. The officials of the company took up the matter with the men at once and have now completed the work. it is expected that some. sort of an announcement of the company's. decision will be made at the train- men‘s meeting to be bold in the Odd Fellows‘ building today. There is, however. a likelihood that nothing will be received officially until the next meeting. June 19. The ti'nlnmcn are greatly pleased over the fair spirit in which the com- pany has met the men. YALE ROWING SQUAD. Shells Shipped Today and Members Leave Tomorrow for Gales Ferry. NEW HAVEN.
