“A strike that will tie up the trolley
system of Kai-Walk, is not expected
and will not occur," according to a
statementgiven out, this morning, by
Superintendent McLean. of the local
department. “This is only my own he-
lief." McLeanstated, “but I think it is
the same that is held and cherished by”
the 111:13ority of the men we have here.
and I know it. is the hope of the direc-
tors that a strike beaverted.” .
“Norwalk is not dissatisfied as much
:15 other towns," McLean said, "and I
don‘t believe that the men we have
here are the class of men that would
strike at a little thing. ’W’e are lucky
here in having some 01' the finest class
of men wor ‘ " for us.” In the large;
towns ‘jitneys ’are waiting for the
strike to start, and they will put‘out a
complete network of jitneys to relieve
the public. .
,Bridgeport is the town the men and
directors both tear, it was learned
from reliable information today, as
the small jltney cars and the zone fare
have greatly dissatisfied workers and
