Joint Conference Board to Hold Ses-
 sion This Morning at Hotel OOpcO,

Although the situation in the trolley night and all Is quiet, with no mor" sign of strike evident. It begins to appear that the matter will be definitely cleared up Inside of very hours now. special meeting cf the joint conference board composed of the representatives of the fifteen divisions of the New Haven system, will he held at 9:30 this morning at the Hotel Oneco in this city and the pur- pose of the meeting Is set as the re- ceiving of the result of the vote on the strike, which was taken last night. The decision will probably be made at the meeting to-day as to just what will be done.
 If the strike vote Is found. as it Is believed it will be, to be emphatically opposed to the idea of striking. the fact will be announced, and the matter will probably be settled at once, with a decision not to force the matter any further, and the Issue dropped If the contrary Is found to be the result of the voting, the time for the inaugura- ton of the strike will probably be set. In either event definite action can be looked for inside of about twenty-four hours,
 Locally all passed off well yesterday. No attempt at trouble was made all the cars were taken out as usual, and there Is little talk of trouble. The situation appears to each side to be pho which bodes well for an avoidance of any trouble whatsoever.
