TROLLEYMEN TURN
 DOWN COMPLAINTS OFFER Would Not Increase Because Agree
 ment Carried Too Many Clauses.

A short time ago a committee com posed of trolleymen from New Lon don and Saybrook divisions of the Shore Line Electric Go. waited on the officials of the Shore Line Go. and ask ed for a raise in wages. This com n1ittee was not one representing the Trolleymen's union and the heads of the local union knew nothing about the committee until they were notified by the Shore Line Company, it is said.
 The local union has an agreement with the company saying that the trolleymen will not ask for a raise be- fore June 1, 1918, and when the New London men asked for the raise it was thought that they were breaking the agreement but they were not au- thorized to act for the union.
 Shortly after this the Shore Line company offered the employees a raise of approximately per cent but with this raise there were certain things that the employees must agree to do In the agreement it was stated that all the motormen and conductors who were breaking in men should receive one cent an hour more for their trou- b1e but that no more than fifteen days was to be taken up in breaking the new men in.
 Another clause of which there were fifteen, in the agreement said that>the runs of the men would be divided dig ferently which would take about an hour off of each one. Another clause said that new men would receive a standard wage whether they worked or not. but that they must report three times a day to make sure that they were willing to work.
 The last clause in the agreement said that the employees if they accept ed the raise must not ask for an- ether increase in wages during the coming two years.
 A meeting of the union was. called to decide the advisability of &C., cepting the raise and it was unani- mously agreed to refuse the offer of the company and to strictly adhere to the old agreement which does not expire until June l. 1918. 2
 Thursday noon the officials of the Shore Line company were informed as to the decision of the trOlleymen
