BardO to Leave for Chi cagO on Sunday Night to Present Roads Case to Labor Board Which May Make for an Early Decision Some Car Workers Called Back in New Haven.

The final conclave between Gen. eral Manager Bardo of the New Ha- ven Road and the executive board of the System Federation representing the mechanical employees of the road, is on this afternoon and will result, according to the best information ob- tainable at noontime, in a mutual agreement to disagree. The road wants the men to accept another wage cut and is insisting upon it: The men are not only not going to accept it, but being shop employees princi- pally are asking for an increase on after the war when railroad wages were raised they were not raised in proportion.
 Meantime there has come break in the rift of unemployment that has covered the car shops since day be- fore Christmas Yesterday 70 men were called back to the New Haven shops, but from a canvass of the of1c- ials representing Readville, Vaness and other places on the line, the New Haven few were the only ones called back so far. But it's a break and every break is helpful.
 Conferences between MT Bardo and the System Federation men have been going on all week with the ex- ception of Thursday when MT. Bardo represented the New Haven road at conference of managers of railroads in New York at which the intended wage cuts were discussed and plans made for enforcing them before the Railroad Labor Board at Chicago. ings on the disputes to begin on ha for sentation to February 20. That brings it right up to date so that the final conferences had to be held with MT. Bardo here today. All points on the New Haven road were represent ed at the meeting. Both sides were sticking pat to their original demands, Cor requests rather) and 1t was prac tically certain that no agreement oth CT than to disagree would ensue
 The roa dis going to get right busy with it's claims before the Labor Board and to get in early on the dis putes MT. Bardo is to leave for Chi cago at midnight Sunday night and present the New Haven's grievances against it's men. By thus getting in early the New Haven road may get an early assignment and unless the whole matter IS grouped is likely to get an advance hearing and have 1t over with while other disputes are pending. The very fact that MT. Bardo has arranged to go to Chicago Sunday means to the men that the road is determined to go ahead and if the road is so set, then the men will stay in the same mood.
 Just what transpired at the man agers meeting in New York yester- day is a mystery For once the fnan- cial papers in New York are silent on the result of the meeting. Hereto fore they have carried statements issued officially as to what was de cided upon It is assumed that with Bardo leaving for Chicago Sunday other managers will also go and fin ally fix up their program there. The debate is now settled however and the entire matter going to the Labor Board.
