AWAIT RESULT OF POLL
Directors of Ne1o-Haren Road Take
No ActiOn.

The monthly meeting Of the New-York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad took place at the
Grand Central Station at noon yesterday. The
time was taken up in discussing the threatened

directors were present except Senator Depew
and Edwin Miner. Those present were Pres-
dent John NJ. Hall. ]. P Morgan, William
Rockefeller Joseph Park. William D. Bishop. of

and Nathaniel Taylor. of Boston; r. c. Taft. of
Providence; Charles F. Brooks, OF Ansonia,
Conn: Carlos French. George Brush. J. D.
Warner, A. E. Osborne and F. ". Cheney. Of
Connecticut.
President Hall said after the meeting that the
point considered was the appeal of the con-
ductors and trainmen to have their joint COM
mttee meet Vice-President Merrill. He has al
ready refused to do and has been sustained
bv President Hail. No action was taken on this
appeal.
Mr. Hall further said that no question as to In

None of the directors would add anything to
what President Hall said.
1t is assumed. however. that they are waiting
to see what strength is developed by the poll

be finished by Monday. After that there would
be time to act, since. If the men voted to strike
they would not do so until they gave the direc-
tors an opportunity to answer any specific prop
osition.
When President Hall was asked what would
be done in case the men went out. he said:
I'VE should call a special meeting OF the
board, but unless something unforeseen occurs
there will be no more meetings till April"
The action Of the road in granting - month
increase to oilers and hremen on Friday has en-
couraged the men.

A BOOMING ORDER.

Your correspondent has got one thing which deserves mention, that is in good, healthy condition, and con- ferred the third degree on three can- didates, last Friday evening. Now this is one of the things that live and move along without rain. If they are short of water the boys get hold and push, and that is just what they have done ever since the order was started here. Their numbers reach the half hundred mark and are still increasing. The 16th is ladies night and a good time is ex- pected, and judging by former occa- sions of the kind, the boys will miss it if they are not there and have the girls with them. By the way, just ask them if they don't always have good sup per and little fun.
