NEW HAVEN, March 5.—~Tl1at the ‘
executive board of the local trolley-
men's union has decided to ask for 8' ..
maximum wage of thirty cents all"
hour when the present agreement ‘be-
tween the men and company expires.
June I, 1912, is the report circulated
in trollye circles today. At present.
the men work on a sliding scale, begin-1
ning with 21% cents an hour and end~ ‘
lng' with 27. They also receive live 3
cents additional to their regular pay
for overtime work.
Although it is understood that the
executive board has taken up the mat-
,ter of wages, it is known positively
that nothing has been done up to the .
present by the men as a body. At no ‘ ” ' '
regular meeting has the subject come
11p fo‘r discusslon. That the men will
be asked to speak their minds on the
subject at the' next meeting seems .
probable, In view of the fact that title 1
