Connecticut Company Inclined to
 Grant Some Concessions.

It looked on Tuesday as if public statement on the demands of the troll leymen for increased wages would be given out today, according to the re- report from New Haven. The under standing is that the Connecticut com pany is not willing to grant fiat rate of 30 cents an hour or a fixed day arrangement but is inclined to grant concessions. After the several con- ferences nothing has been given out so the trolleymen at large have no idea of the conditions.

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.--Theodore

to save. and who. when he becomes
superannuated, faces the direst
