Board of School Visitors Will

The greater portion of the time of,
the town .board of school visitors held}
last evening in the high school lib-
rary, was taken up with a discussion

dency, and although three candidates
were present and expressed their fit-
trees for the position. no decision was
made. Dr. Tracey has one candidate

that he thinks should be further confi
sidered and the board seems to have

simmered down the contest to three
men. Chairman Wheeler stated lash
night that the selection will probably
_ lire made within ten days, at a special

meeting to follow the meeting of the

With-Day Men, and Insist on
30 Cents an Hour

 

 

 

NEW HAVEN, May 22.-At the
close of the meeting of the night men
of the Connecticut company last night
with reference to accepting the half-
cent-an-h'our‘lncrease offered. the men
were as unlnanlrnous in turning it
down as had been the day workers.

After the meeting the members of
the executive committee escorted John
Ill. Reardon, the chairman of the gen-
eral New England executive board to

' -. take his train for Worcester, Mass,

his home town.

Last night's meeting was also ad-
dressed by P. J. O'Brien of Spring-
field. vice president of the New Eng—
land oint conference hoard.

Various stories were told today
among the men interested in this wage
tight. and it was said that following
a Joint conference with the New Eng-
land Joint Conference iboard, which
would be held either in this city or
Hartford. the men would again present
their demand to the road for a wage
rate of 30 cents an hour. allowing the
old iivecent-an-lrour rate for overtime
to continue.I The demand for a uni-
form day of nine hours has been aban-
doned, The company now gives a ten-
hour day for all men who are not re-
gularly attached.

, As it now stands, it seems very like-
ly t-hat arbitration will have to be re-
sorted to. as was done three years ago
when David E. Fitzgerald. Clarence
Deming and Judge William 8. Case of
the superolr court settled that dispute.

The New Haven men are very dia-
satisflod with the terms that the road
he. offered them, and look for a much
further prolongation of the dispute.
The addresses ol'Me‘ssrs, Reardon and
O'Bridn _are said to have been of-a
Very stirring character.

NEW HAVEN, May 22.—-There is
likely to be a very interesting hearing
before the Public Utilities commission
at Hartford on Thursday with refer-
ence to the petition of the New HaL
ven trolley union to that body seek-
ing to have the commission issue
orders that will prohibit the carrying
of passengers on running boards of
the "two-step” trolley cars in this
city.

This move was heartily endorsed by
the night men of the local union last
night, as it had already been by the
day men of: the Saturday night prev-
ious. There were conflicting stories
regarding the attitude that the Con-
necticut company was to take regard-
ing the matter. All doubt as to this
was dispelled by the following receiv-

tlcut company.

Question-Jpn“ the Connecticut
riding of people on running boards of
open trolley cars as suggested by the
trolley men at their meeting Saturday
night? Would it be practical?“

Answer~“lmproctlcai as well
impossible."

This indicates that the Connecticut
company has no desire to abandon the
idea of the two step cars. so called.
which has been ordered by the Public
Utilities committee and that whatever
inconvenience the conductors may
have to encounter will have to be suf—
fered by them.
