The amount Of money to be relnvested this

unusually heavy interest payments and the
recent break In prices has obviously given
investors an opportunity that Is not often

day was not continuous. being interrupted
By drive against Brooklyn Rapid

A NEW GRIEVANCE
Conductors on the Consolidated
Road Want New Wage Scale

A new grievance committee has been
formed on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad, among the con-
ductors, although other trainmen are
upholding it. Leaders in the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen and Or
der of Railroad Conductors, had a
meeting in New Haven recently, and
it has been a matter of conjecture as
to what business was transacted. Yes
terday train official who runs through
this city from New York, said that
the new president of the road, John
M. Hall, will receive a petition within
few days, asking for a new wage
schedule for overtime work.
The grievance of the conductors is
the result of being ignored by the rail
road officials in demand for increased
wages. The firemen, engineers and
conductors presented petitions for more
pay in a bunch. The former were
made contented by increased wages,
but the conductors demand was not
considered.
Firemen have had an increase of IS
cents per day, and engineers a raise
in wages amounting to So cents per
day, and conductors ON the Harlem
division of the road have been grant
ed a new wage schedule which gives
an increase of 25 cents per day. In
view of these advances, the conduct
ors believe that under President Hail.
their new petition will be given con-
sideration

FIREMEN'S NIGHT WATCH
City Council Committee Thinks 1t
Should Continue

Indications are that the night watch
in the various fire stations will not be
discontinued in the immediate future.
The city council committee on fire de-
partment held a long meeting last
night, fH consultation with Chief En-
gineer E. L. Vaughn, and after conSi-
derable discussion, for and against. it
was voted to recommend that the reso-
luton to abolish the night watch sys-
tenn ought not to pass.
On the order providing that firemen
shall be recompensed for all loss of
time occasioned by death in their
families, 1t was voted to recommend
the adoption of an order instructing the
committee on ordinances to consider
the advisability of amending the ordi-
nance relative to firemen so that they
will be paid for time lost in case death
or serious illness in the families.
1t was voted to report recommending
that b. l.. James, John Bruso and Will
liam B. Spooner be paid for time lost
on account of sickness or injury while
engaged in the performance of duty.
The committee will recommend the
installation of fire alarm boxes on the
following petitions: H. B. Belcher and
