Tracks FORMULATE THEIR DEMANDS | Draw Up Resolution Stating Rate of Wages Desired and Set May 10 as Limit to Accede to Demands—An- thorities Are Prepared. The strike situation at the brick- vards in Berlin still remains in a muddled condition. Many of the men are willing and anxious to re- turn to work, but seem to be afraid of the others. This morning First Selectman William H. Gibney swore in six extra deputies and the whole force is guarding the property of the Berlin Brick compar Yester- day some of the men employed at this yard approached H. S. Tallard, the owner, and said they would return tc work this morning if he would guarantee protection. He immedi- ately communicated with Selectman Gibney and the latter with twelve constables and deputies arrived at the yvard at 4 o'clock this morning. The day’s work starts at 4:30 o'clock but when the men saw strikers from other yards in the neighborhoad of the plant, they de- cided not to chance it. The deputies remained on duty there all day. The strikers were not violent. At 10 o’clock a number of Tallard’s men informed him they were going to work and took off their coats. They started in at once, the deputies maintaining a strict watch, The news rapidly spread to the strikers, Were gathered in the square near the depot and thtey came to the yard, where Selectman Gibney forbade any | man to trespass on the property of Mr. Tallard under pain of The strikers remained at chosen posts all day, but nane of them made any attempt to disobey Mr, Gibney’s instructions.

Paonessa of this city went to Berlin this morning to discuss the trouble with the strikers. He advised them ta draw tc the owners, saying the matter could be settled amicably and quickly in thisimanner. The owners are not inclined to confer with a committee, many claiming they are as ignorant as to the cause of their men leaving werk Thursday. They will gladly listen to any men may make. At several yards the men have told the employers of their willingness to return to work, but the latter decided to shut down for the day. Workers May Leave Town, The fear is spreading that many g00d men will be lost by the industry befare the difference is settled. Several were reported as having left for Bristol this morning, where the had secured work. Practically every Lrickyard in this part of the state is now closed, the strikers enlisting the men from the East Berlin, Crom- Vviell and Middletown yards vester- day.
