BARDO APPEALS TO | Fears Elfect on Business if They Strike Tomorrow New Haven, May 16.—General Manager Bardo of the New Haven railroad has addressed a letter to the clerks of the company, who threaten to go on strike any hour after 6 a. m. Wednesday unless a settlement of their | demands is reached by that time, urg- |ing them to accept the offer of the company. The company originally offered a | five per cent. increase, but this offer was rejected, and the company sub- | mitted another proposal, which rep- resented an increase in their payroll of 6.4 per cent. This proposal was likewise reject- ed. The federal department of labor then took up the case and on Friday {last R. B. Mahany, acting as con- ciliator, arrived in New Haven. Con- | ferences were held with both sides on Saturday.
