Wood hail rccinested a twelve and a half ixr cent, nyiuclion nnd said he wnuld submit the men's propixHlon to tho dlrwtors of tho company.
Mr. AVixkI addres.sed a meeUng of the men In Hempstead last Saturday night, explaining the stniightened llnanelal («nditlon of the company. He .said that in 1915 the company had a sur¬ plus ot $3(1,000. but that la.st yea.r there wa.s a deflolt to the extent of $101,000, as a result of decreased busineBU In tho irUervcnlng yeara.
For the year 1920, he said, the re¬ ceipts hnd been $537,048.82 and expen¬ ditures $5a«,105.S2,
The company owe/i tho Ixing Island Railroad Comimny $46,000 and tlin Queena Company $26,000, besides other debts. He iiolnted out that the men'a l«y h.id bt-en Incrensed in live yc-ars from 24 to 26 Cents nn hour to 57 to 67 cents. Ho said the company atarea ruin in Ihe face and that the only thing left to do 1.S to conelder a cut in wages. Abont twelve and a half per cent, had lieon suggoHtett. He asked the rtv-n to think It over and let him know Tues¬ day nlghl.
Al Tuesday night's me<-tinK, Harry lAt^. na siMikeaman for the men, made a counter proptisltlon that the men ac- ce|it a reiluction to from R2 to 62 ct-nta an hour from the pnnient scale. Thle would be about 8 i>er cent. He also euggeated that a flfiecn minute head¬ way be Inaugurated, which he eaUnvat- od would add but $24 a day or ST.OOO a year lo wave* and would retain the trafflo now hajuIM hr htiaea. '
Mr. Wood said that the present crip¬ pled oondltlon as to doanees au) roU- lac sttxik made such a service hard to consider.

H.-rnpstOful, Jan. 20—The Public Ser- \ii'e Commission al Alliany has allowetl the Xas.sau and .Suffolk Lighting Com¬ pany to make a sorvlce charge of 7i ceiit.s i>or meter, in addition to tho rat' cliargo ot $2 for the first tlu-u.iand cu llic foot of ga.s consumed with 10 c<mt^ a 1,000 cubic foet deduction thorefron if jwiid within llfteon dava of the dati of tho bin.      ,
Honry L. .Maxson, attorney for thi lown of Hempstead, has stated lo ih< Na.ssau County Uoviow that on Augua- 2fi, l'J20, Justice Squli-ea granted an in¬ junction in a case brought In the Su prcme Court, Nasaau County, of the town of Hempstead against lln- Nassau and .Suffolk Lighting Comiiany enjoin¬ ing llio comiwny until the further onl¬ er of the coun from I'hnrging, demand¬ ing, collecting or rec<'lviiig tho sum of $1 per meter or any other sum In excess of the lawful and projier charges for ita gii,s actually conaumorl in the town t>f Hempstead by the Inhabltanlfl and con¬ sumers therefjf.
At tho tint*' this case waa brought tho I'ompany claimed to make a ser%lc»- chargo of $1 jier meter plus consump¬ tion charges.
The ground of the action is that tho service charge is a violation of section i!«6 of the tranaportatlon corporallona law which provides that no rental di¬ rectly oi Indirectly shall be charged by any gas comjiany for its meters. Wheth¬ er a aervice diarge violates thia provis¬ ion of the law la n mooted question, as tliere haa been no direct caso. Counsel for the gas qornpany havo requoattKl an adjournment of the motion for llirr in Junction and the matter has not yet come up In court for the decision, lii tho meantime It la stated that Juatloe Squlers' preliminary injunction remains In effect, and until it Is decided and the order of the .court entered there, no cfinsunier of gas In the town of Hemji- stead ts obliged to pay any service charge, aocordlng to Mr. Maxson.
A ««'r\-lce charge is a flxx-d charge and applies to every meter, he holds. The wnrde of the Injunction, he says, aa stated cover a 70 cent charge.
