ROAD TO ANSWER
 TROLLEYMEN SOON
Demands Presented by Mems Represen' tatives to New Haven Officials
 at Conference.

The meeting between the conference board of the Tro11eymen's union, rep resenting 2,S00 trolley wage workers in this State, with Calvert Town1ey, pres ident of the Connecticut Company, and John K. Punderford, general manager Of the company, at New Haven yes terday afternoon, lasted but little more than an hour. Messrs. Townley and Punderford heard the presentation of the demands of the men, and announce ed that they would take the matter up further with them at some future date. Their reply, or a counter proposition, may be looked for within a. short time.
 None of the officers of the Connec- ticut Company would discuss the at titude of the street railway company towards the demands. And none of the members of. the Trolleymen's dele gation would state just what was ac- coInplished.
 The tro1Ieymen's union in Springfield. Worcester, Providence and in this State are said to be closely affiliated and a. joint conference of delegates from these men and from this State was held in New Haven last evening to discuss the situation.

Here Are the Replies of Two Com
panies Involved.

The answers of the Denver e. Rio
Grande railroad company and the Utah
Fuel company to the notice sent to them
by Secretary of State c. S. Tingey two
weeks ago notifying them to withdraw
from the alleged combine within thirty
days or by failing to do SO render them
selves liable to revocation of their
corporate franchises, were fled with
the secretary of state Monday after
noon. In the replies both companies
aver that they are not parties to any
unlawful trust, combination or associa-
tion having for its purpose the regula-
tion of the retail price of coal.
An answer to Secretary Tiugey s
communication has also been filed BY
the Western Fuel company, in which
it likewise denies absolutely that il is
a party to any unlawful combine. I'm
till last night only three companies had
been heard from. Here are the re-
plies.
