Norwalk trolleymen, at a meeting

to reject the offer of the Connecticut
company of a ten per cent. reduction
in wages. it was learned this morning
by the Evening Sentinel from good
authority. It is understood that the
vote was practically unanimous in the
negative.
Local trolleymen do not look favor-
ably upon any suggestion of a further
reduction in their wages such as the
offer of the Connecticut company en»

an hour for operators of two men cars
and 60 cents an hour for one‘ man cars
for men in the employ of the company
for more than one year. On the other
hand, the present rate of pay is 55
cents a hour for two men cars and 65
