NEW AGREEMENT IS SOUGHT BY
 TROLLEYMEN

At the coming conferences of general officers of the Connecticut company and the members of the state confer ence board of the Trolleymen's union, who represent the trolley workers on every line in the state. one of the chief matters to come up for discussion is working agreement covering all lines controlled by the Connecticut com pany.
 At present each city and town is working under a separate agreement covering wages. hours and other con- ditions and to consolidate these agree ments would be a difficult task.
 The men are not going to ask that the employees in small towns and cities shall be paid the same rate of wages as paid the men in this city, Hartford and New Haven and the other large cities.
 The uniform agreement would relate only to working conditions, treating of matters pertaining to the methods fol- lowed in permitting the men to select runs, actions of division managers in ordering suspensions and the numer- ous other little rules and details of work which surround trolleymen dur ing their working hours
 Furthermore it is desired to have the division managers in the event Of a uniform agreement being made, inter pret the rules alike. In the past rules in force here for instance, which are Identical with rules in Hartford, have been interpreted in different ways by the division managers. This causes discord in some instances which can only, be settled by appeal to the higher officers of the company.
 Although some changes are to be asked for by the men in certain work ing rules of the company and perhaps a request will be put forward for an advance in the wages of the men work ing in some of the small towns, there is little doubt that the conferences to be held here, the dates for which have not been fixed as yet, will be harmoni- ous. No break in the friendly relations between the company and its men is expected
 affairs of the Trolleymen's union are conservatively handled and one of the best moves made by the organization in years was the formation of the state board.

FOUR PERSONS DEAD SIXTEEN INJURED
 IN FRISCO FIRE

San Francisco, April 16.-Four per sons are known to be dead and six seriously injured, one fatat1ly, as the result of a tenement fire here early today. Fifteen other persons are miss ing and it is feared that they also have perished. The firemen are searching the ruins of the tenement for their bodies.
 Three hundred persons were asleep in the St. George, a big lodging house on Howard street between Eighth and Ninth streets. when the fire broke out at 3 a. m. The building, a three story frame structure, was completely de- stroyed. Many received injuries in 1eaping from windows or in being trampled in the crush at the exits The building was occupied almost en- tirely by laboring men.

For the fourth time in 15 months the Bridgeport Fire Department extin- guished a blaze in the factory of the Electric Cable Company, at Central and Crescent avenues. When the ar duous labor of checking the confagra- tion was over, this morning, Fire Chief Mooney said: ''We could get rid of the trouble at this point if whoever is set ting this building on fire would stop it.
 The fire was discovered between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning. It did damage upon which the concern will probably collect in the neighborhood of $20, 900 insurance.
 It will probably not be the last fire as the concern is engaged in the handling of very inf1amable materials which burn like finder.
 The company is engaged in the man. ufacture of an electric wire insulation, a large part of which is composed of oily substances and any little fire in it will spread with great rapidity.
 Supt. T. J. Seward of the company announced that the damage would be principally by water.
 Fire Chief Mooney said to-day there would be no loss at all if someone would stop setting fire to the building. The chief favors locating more hy- drants near the plant in order that any fire in the structure can be checked before the flames get through the roof as the plant of the Bridgeport Chain Go, nearby is 5eopardized by this dan ger spot.
 The firemen kept the fire confined within the walls of the building this morning and would have stopped 1t sooner if hydrants were closer. No. 6 engine company under Capt. Ed. Fo- ley which did the most effective work in suppressing the blaze laid one line of hose that was 600 feet long and was unable to lay a second line at once as only 400 feet of hose remained in the company's cart.
 For a time the fremen sprawled about upon the oil soaked floors which were covered with an inch or more of paint which is q product of.

WALL STREET TO-DAY.
fsneciaI from United Press.)


 New York, April 16.-11 a. m.-The general tone of the market continued reactionary at the opening and early trading, but strength in several issues caused irregular changes owing to the lack of uniformity that has been a feature all through the week. Most of the gains were in the lower-priced issues both in the railroad and indus trial group, with the leading active ing downward. The disturbing influ- ence of the wheat situation was the most important market factor and part of the selling at the opening was attributed to uneasinesS over the out look in the manipufa tion of the May opening today. As the first half hour ended a moderate improvement deve1- oped.
 New York April 1e.-11 a. m.-The market generally went heavy after the opening, influenced at first by the liberal supplies of Union Pacific and Steel Common. There was enough special buying though. to cause irregu- larity in prices. Erie was strong ad- vancing 1 point and Chesapeake & Ohio scored about the same advance, but realizing sales caused this latter stock to lose all of it's gain. Apparently the only incentive for the change in posi- tion by active speculative interests was the wheat situation.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds firm and active.
 Noon.-In the last half of the fore noon steadier tone developed with indications of support in a number of leaders and Union Pacific, Reading and Steel Common recovered part of t'>eir loss

 EXCORIATES
 SEN. ALDRICH

Madison, Wis, April 1e.-United States Senator LaFollette continued his attack on United States Senator Aldrich in this weeks issue of La Follette's weekly magazine which will be out tomorrow. In an editorial un- der the caption ""The Aldrich Ruler ship, LaFollette declares:
 '.Aldrichism must be a local issue everywhere if it is to be beaten. He (A1drich) is the Senator from the smallest State in the Union in point of territory and from any viewpoint except MT. Aldrich's influence in gov ernment which alone makes it pre-emi- nent.
 He rules. but the sceptre would fall from his hands if the people living in other States than Rhode Island would awake and drive from public life the Senators who bow to his leadership.
 ''The rule of Aldrich may or may not be a disgrace to Rhode Island. Let Rhode Island look to that. Aldrich will drop out of the Senate one of these days but in his place will arise another who, no matter what his name or abil- ities, will rule just as respectfully, just as completely for good interests as he, unless the people in every State, Dem- ocratic and Republican, arouse them selves and fight
