A year ago the waigs differences were afjusted by board of arbitration of which Supreme Court Justice John K. Beach was chair man. In that decision the pay of the trolleymen was cut down five cents an hour.
 The trolleymen are now considering what action to take as far as the wage question is concerned It is understood that the majoriey of the conductors and notormen of the New Haven division, at least, favor letting well enough alone, that is. to seek renewal of the present wage scale But very few favor ask ing for an increase.
