STRIKERS
ARE FIRM

New Haven. Conn, April as.--Meetings
OF the car workers and machinists em-
pioyed here by the New York. New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad will be held to-
night when II is understood reports will
be received from the grievance commit
tees which have had conferences with the
railroad officials regarding the demands
for shorter hours and increased pay
The car workers committee arranged TO
meet the railroad officials this afternoon
for what was expected to be q conclusive
conference. The machinists arc said TO
have received a 1nal answer from the
railroad officials yesterday. Members OF
the committees would not intimate today
what the nature OF their reports would be
but, IL Is understood that the question OF
a strike will depend upon their action.
Among union men outside the commit
tees II has been said that concessions
from the original demands would proba-
bly, be made so that a strike would be
averted. The committee members, how
ever, refused to talk about the matter. The
situation as far as the strike OF the boiler
makers In concerned remains unchanged.
Many Of the union boiler makers have
left the city 10 secure work elsewhere and
those who are still here have attempted
no demonstration against the strike
breakers who are working in their places.
The boiler makers say they expect no
help from the machinists or car workers
I'm the way OF sympathetic strike and
that n there In q strike OF those craftsmen
II will be over their wage demands.
