The New York Central and the New Haven whose reduction announce- ments included men in 85 classes of labor, were expected to open negotia- tions with their men next week. Ar- rangements for early conferences also were reported being made by the Santa Fe; Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul; Chicago and Great Western; Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern, all with headquarters at Chicago. The Long Island railroad met un- skilled employes representatives here yesterday and falling of agreement an- nounced the matter would be placed ore the railroad labor board.
