Through the press department of
the New Haven road the following oili-
icinl statement was issued, tOday:

“The telegraphers of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
prove served notice on the company,
requesting an increase ill wages and
changes in working conditions."

Edward J. Monica, general chair-
man of the telegraphers employed on
the New Haven, informed a press to
preetentati-ve that the increase vde
mended by“ the men would average
about ten per cent. He stated that
the men now average about 817 a

'week. They work seven days a week.
anywhere from eight to twelve hours
a day. The maximum pay. it is un
dorstood, is $21 a week.

Among the working conditions
which Mr. Manion ‘says the telegraph-
lors want changed is a. .ten hour day
for the operators, who now work
twelve hours. There is it rule that any
office kept open-both night and ‘- day
must have three shifts of eight hours
each, but where an office is not open
both night and day some of the men
have to work as much as twelve hours
a day.

Nearly all jobs, according to Chair-
man Maniou. pay different rwtes. For
