MAY BE STRIKE
VOTE BY CARMEN
No Settlement of Dispute Over
Barn Men At Final Meeting
Union Will Act Today.

The executive committee Of the New
Haven Trolleymen's union and Vice
President Lucius s. Storrs of the New
Haven road, held a conference in the
latters office in the Yellow building
yesterday afternoon in the hope of
settling the differences that have
arisen between the men and the COM
pany over the discharge of four en-
ployes in the Grand avenue car barn.
All sides of the question we're dis
cussed and several means of settling it
suggested but in every instance they
failed to meet with the approval of
both sides and now they stand dead
locked.
Two meetings of the trolleymen
have been called. One for the day
men at eight o'clock tonight and the
other for the night men at two o'clock
tomorrow morning. At these meet
ings the executive committe will
make it's report on the, negotiations
with Vice-President Storrs. It is said
the committee will inform the men
that all means Of aInicably settling
the existing trouble have been ex-
hausted and will ask them to decide
whether a strike vote should be taken.
The tro1Ieymen claim they have
been ready to meet the company Of
f1cials halfway but that the attitude
of the latter has been evastve- Yes
terdaY'S conference Is the third De-
tween Mr.. Storrs and the committee,
with little or no progress apparently
having been made. The roads repre-
sentative was told yesterday that un-
less agreeable terms were reached at
that meeting the whole matter would
be put up to the trolleynnen for action.
Tt now seems likely that the men will
vote in favor of a strike ballot at the
coming meeting.
The company and its employees have
been at odds ever since the discharge
of some barn men several months ago.
The union promptly rose to the de-

their superior, Horace w. Beebe,
charging them with insubordinaton.
The men claimed their discharge was
the outcome of their activity in union
izing the car barn workers.
The union named a committee to
take the grievance up with the officials.
Superintendent Beebe refused to rec
ognize this committee, claiming that
it was composed mostly of conductors
and motornen, who were not familiar
with car barn work. He said he
would not confer with any committee
unless it was composed of men who
worked in the barn. The union quick
" took exception to this and claimed
Mr. Beebe should not attempt to die
tate to them who should comprise the
committee to represent the organiza-
ton.

HAMPDEN GRADING
GOES UNDER FIRE
Commission Tries To Learn
WHY Fifteen Mile Work Cost
1923, OOO-Estimate Only 49,
200.

Boston, Oct 10-The public service
comm ssion, in the course of its hear
ing on the petition of the Hampden
railroad corporation for permission to
issue 50, 500, 900 bonds yesterday, tried
to learn why the cost of grading the
fifteen-mile road was 1923, 600 when the
estimate for the work was only SIS, 200.
The Hampden road was built to give
the Boston & Maine a direct line to
Springfield.
H. s. Ely, counsel for the road.
said that as the matter had not been
called to his attention, previously he
could not with certainty state the rea-
son. He suggested that possibly after
grading had been completed ard
the tracks laid it might have been
discovered that the road was not
strong enough to hold the weight Of
the heavy traffic planned for it, thus
making additional grading work nee
essary. Even then, he said, he could
not account for so great a discrepancy
between the estimate and the amount
indicated in the schedule filed with
the commission.
William J. Hobbs, financial vice.
president of the Boston & Maine, the
line that proposed to lease the Hamp-
den road, said that he had approved
payment for supplies for the road on
the endorsement of the engineers, al
though, he said in answer to Commits
sioner George W. Anderson, he did
not know from his own observation
whether the supplies were UP to the
standard required. He said that he
had confidence in the engineers judg-
ment.
Suggestions that the bonds be is
sued at six instead of five per cent.
and that the commission decide sim
ultaneousIy on the bond question and
the proposed lease of the Hampton
road to the Boston & Maine were
made by Frederick c. Snow, repre-
senting the banking interests that
