most unanimously voted in favor of in-
_slsbenoe of their demands made upon
,the Connecticut 00., and vice Presi-
dent stairs of the company having an-
nounced that arbitration had been
offered 'by .him on May 29. the trolley
dispute is now believed to be headed
toward arbitration as a means of set-
.flement. The question has arisen
whether the arbitration will include
all the unions in the state or only
those that may refuse the compromise
On this point officers of the
Connecticut Co. say that this is a mat-
ter for the unions or their national
officers to decide. The only obstacles
, now to some form ofnrbltratlou is a
possible disagremnt on the terms and
~conditlons of the arbitration itself.
The company, it is understood, will
want the arbitration limited to wages
and not to embrace discipline.
Delegate Frederick W. F. Andrews.
president of the Norwaik Trolloymen's
union is today delivering the answer
