"P. s. then wrote out each of the five items to come before the session, but failed to state in what manner he wished to amend. It was explained that publication in local papers five days prior to the meeting would be required in compliance with the char ter. The low taX-rate enthusiast then suggested publication in a morning paper having circulation in this city, but the mayor again called attention to the requirement that it be local paper.
 Only 97 Voters Signed.
 Later in the evening, McMahon submitted list of names which was handed over to the city clerk at 9:15 o'clock. The registrars of voters were called in by the mayor to deter mine whether or not there was 100 legal voters on the list and they found that there was but 97.
 Since the charter had not been com piled with in regard to time limit or signatures, the mayor withheld his approval to it's publication and Col. Thompson was informed that if an advertising bill was transacted some one other than the city would pay.
 According to Mayor Curtis, MT. Nc Mahon admitted that he had no state ment in mind nor did he know of any member of the City Meeting board who planned to offer a proposition to amend, or strike out items. His idea, in going through the formality of serving notice was to protect mem- bers of the board should a change suggest itself to them.

DISCHARGED MEN
 HAVE CONFERENCE
R. R. Men Argue Their Cases Be-
 fore Divisional Superintendent

A conference between the nine em- ployes of the railroad who were dis charged for failure to report for work on Columbus Day, and Superintendent Snavin of the Waterbury division of the New Haven road, was held Satur- day afternoon in Waterbury. J E. Leitch, local freight agent, was pres ent to explain why the discharge was put into effect. 5.t
 The whole argument hinges on the question of whether an agreement, signed by General Manager Bardo of the railroad and representatives of the brotherhood of railroad clerks, is still in effect. The agreement reads tARt: !: On Columbus Day only such employees as are deemed absolutely necessary for the business to be transacted, shall work''
 MT. Leitch claims that he gave verb al orders through the chief clerk at the freight office, for all the employees to work on Columbus Day, but the clerks claim that no orders were issued, eith- CT verbal or written, so they proceed ed to observe Columbus Day as they have in former years. Last year, the clerks at the local office went to work under protest, and after an hour, were dismissed by orders of the divisional superintendent The order to work was in writing and posted on the bulletin board. but this year no such order was issued They claim that all of the inn portant posts at the office were filled with. capable substitutes, and the busi- ness was taken care of.
 There was no decision from the con- ference at Waterbury, and it is expect ed that the matter will be taken to the office of the general manager at New Haven. MT. Leitch was too busy to be interviewed this morning, so his stand on the matter is not known, but the clerks are certain that the justice of their claims will be recognized, and that they will be reinstated within very short time A
