POSTING OF WAGE SCALE CRITICIZED
 BY TROLLEYMEN

The Connecticut Co.,. yesterday morning, posted the new wage scale in all of it's division barns. In New Haven, where the union men are not satisfied with the increase, there is a loud protest against the action of the company in posting the schedule, up- on the ground that the New Haven union never agreed to the proposi- ton of the sliding wage scale with 26 cents an hour as the maximum.
 It was learned today that the un- ion was to have made a reply to the company, not later than Thursday night, and as no reply was received, the company took it for granted that the new schedule is satisfactory.
 The local trol1eymen are apparent 1y satisfied with the wage scale, but there is a sentiment in favor of sup porting the New Haven men in their claim, and there is a possibility of the entire matter being submitted to a vote by ballot throughout the sys- tenn.
