Meeting.
TRY TO SEE MELLEN
Agreement Ends With June First and
Men Are Anxious for a
Renewal.

Contrary to expectation. when the
week ended In the railroad yards yes
terday afternoon no more men were
discharged, Some time ago the few that
were left had been informed that they
were soon to get their release and last
night was commonly believed to be the
time chosen. But the eight boilermak-
ers, their helpers, the twenty machn-
lists, and the twenty-seven car workers
all were retained
Last night there was a meeting OF
the allied employees and plans were made
for a final demand on the roads ofilciu =
for a new agreement. Under the pres
ent agreement the men work nine hours
a day on regular wage scale. The
men desire that this agreement be con-
tlnued, but the road up to the present
time has refused.
The plan Of the road apparently is
to let all the men go by June /, when
the agreement expires, and then to en-
gage them at any agreement which the
road likes This Is the piece work
scale, which the men have fought
against. and which has led to the dis
chargeof many Of them.
An effort will be madeto get the de-
mand for the continuance of the pres
ent agreement before President Mellen
in the coming week so that by June l.
the matter will have been Strengthened
out The men have practically given
up hope of success, owing to the large
number of discharges,

Traffic returns OF the New York, New

pany for the first two weeks in May,
show about the same condition Of rail-
road business In Southern New Eng
land industries as in April Gross
freight earnings compared with last
year In actual operation show a loss
Of somewhat more than 2 per cent,
passenger gross earnings, however,
holding up we'll with a loss of only
about or per cent The trolley sys-
tenn In Connecticut Is about holding
Its own while the trolley system in
Massachusetts, is showing a small, but
positive gain. The best indication OF
improved business on the system is on
the Rhode Island trolleys of the COM
pany where heavy net losses early In
the year have been considerably re-
duced. Slight improvement in produc-
tion is indicated by the reports from
various factory centers of New Eng
land which later It is hoped will ex-
press itself in railroad traffic.

GUARDING HOSPITAL
Trouble Arises at st. Raphael s
Over Plumbing Con-
tract.
TWO PATR0LMEN THERE
Attempt of the Firms Worlsmen to
Enter the Building Is Frus-
tratcd.

Considerable trouble has arisen at
st. Raphaels new hospital building
over the carrying out of the contract
for the plumbing work at that inst-
tuition The contract for this work
was awarded to local firm, but some
friction has arisen which has caused
a suspension of operations. While
the exact details of the trouble could
not be learned yesterday, 1t Is said
the contract has been abrogated on
the part Of the hospital authorities
and that new bids will be accepted
for the work. Architect Won Beren
who drew the plans for the hospital
said last night that he did not feel
that he could discuss the matter
Asked IL new bids had been received
he replied that they had not been re-
ceived yet. Attorney Pigott, repre-
senting the hospital, also stated that
he could not discuss the matter.
The breach seems to have assumed
serious proportions, Thursday night
two patrolmen were kept at the build
ing to watch 1t and prevent any one
from entering the structure They
remained on duty until called off dur
ing the day by the chief, after which
arrangements were being made for
guarding of another sort. 1t is un-
derstood that the object is to prevent
any workmen from entering and
working, or taking any materials
away Some Of the men appeared
yesterday morning, but on being met
by the patrolmen, departed without
creating any trouble, Further at
tempts were feared, so attempts are
being made to thoroughly guard the
building day and night
