 Fight for More Pay.

New Haven, Conn, July 19.-Events moved forward with unexpected rapid ity today at the first session of the arbitration proceedings involving the wage dispute between the Connecticut company and it's conductors and mot tOrmen of the New Haven division. The trolleymen announced late this afternoon that their side of the case had been completed with the presenta- ton of much documentary evidence, making the high cost of living the basis of their fight. The action took the Connecticut company counsel by surprise and announcement was made that the company was not yet ready to present it's side of the case.
 Adjournment was taken until to- morrow morning and 1t is now believed that the case will be completed by Sat urday afternoon. Only one witness was examined, John T. Sloan. local real estate agent. who testified that the rents of moderately priced tene- ments had not greatly increased with in the last few years. He admitted, however, that real estate men gener- the price asked was not more than S10 or S25 per month.
 Counsel for the troIleymen made a demand that the company furnish all books and papers dealing with the value of the property and the receipts from June, 1910 to June, 1912. It was inttmated that if the company refused to produce the books the trolleymen would undertake to show the values and receipts from other sources.
