With all Europe ablaze with terrible

prevent this country tiling sucked in-
to the vortex of the Great War. Amer-
ican patriotism is running exception-

this. Flag Day, which is to be ob-
served on Monday of next week, is of
particular interest.
The day is to be observed as the
1341b anniversary of the American

Railroad men in Norwalk and es

BIotherhood of Railway Clerks. are
awaiting with intexest the final meet-
ing of President Elliott and the fed-
eral councillaiors regarding the griev
ances held against the New Haven
railroad by the members of the
Brotherhood. The meeting Will be
held in New Haven on Monday or
next week ,nnd the chances are if a
Vsatisfactory settlement is not ar-
rived at, a general strike will be
called. V
That Norwalk will not be seriously
affected should the strike be called is
evident by statements made this
morning by H. L. Hayes, agent in
icharge of the South Nor-walk railroad
1fre1ght depot. succeeding R. E. De-
1Witt, who some. time ago was pro-
moted to Stamford.
A prominent railroad official, in dis-
Vctissim.r the situation unofficially. said
:thut in his opinion Norwalk members
of the Brotherhood would rather re.-
sign from that organization than ”go
Vout on a strike. He said before the
mic was taken to call a strike if the
demands of the Brotherhood we1e not
exaggerated.
Agent Hayes, asked if he thought
any of the local Brotherhood mem-
bers would resign should a strike be
called, said with the possible excep-
tion of one or two. the local clerks
would stay on the job.
The interest, therefore, is Very keen
1locatly. It is generally hoped, and
thought, that. a strike will be averted.
The outcome of Monday's meeting
will be awaited with much anxiety.
