TROLLEY UNIONS GRAND OFFICERS
 HOLD CONFERENCE
Orr and Fitzgerald to Put Final Wage Demands of Men Before
 Connecticut Co.

New Haven, April 23.-Rezin Orr,
 the treasurer of the Amalgamated As
 way Employees of America, and Dennis
 s. Fitzgerald, another member of the national board of that body, held a. secret conference here last night with the members of the general conference board of the worknen in the employ of the Connecticut company, and as a result, it is expected that the final demands Of the trolleymen will be put before the company today or on Mon day at the outside.
 At the meeting last night, which was somewhat unexpected, MT. Fitz- gerald was called in from another line of duty which he was following to help to negotiate the New Haven situation from the labor standpoint. Both Orr and Fitzgerald will now remain here, until this labor question has been dis posed of. The demand of the grand for 27 1-2 cents per hour as a maxi mum, is insistent. Their casting aside of the 26 cents an hour maximum wage, as voted here, is apparent.
 } The Worcester and Springfield men have voted to strike on this latter con- tention, out of hand, and they will meet, through their representatives, next Monday the officers of the New England Investment company there, which is the counterpart of the Con- necticut company here, both being Bridgeport is said to be willing to stand by the company's offer of 26 cents. Other small cities have prac- tica11y agreed to this, but the major ity of the votes, it is claimed, from all of the members of the roads cov- cred by the general conference board will be overwhelmingly in favor of a strike in case the increased demand is not granted.
 The trouble here has now passed out of the local committeemen's hands, it is declared, and is one that the grand officers of the organization only can dispose of. If a conclusion, as be- tween the men and the company can not be arrived at, there can be no talk of a strike, until the same has been authorized by the central body from Detroit and this will not be carried out for a week or ten days.
 Hartford, April 23.-The new wage scale recently put into effect by the Connecticut company on the trolley lines in this city was turned down last night by the men and demand will be made for a scale of 27 cents an 1 hour. The vote against accepting the 1 company's proposition is said to navel been of the ratio of 16 to 1.

most three times as many farms as
