ALL QUIET IN BRIDGEPORT.
Continued from First Page )

Shelton. Conn.,. May 1a.-An attempt will be made tomorrow to run cars on the lines of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company here and for the purpose Of protecting the non-union men who will have charge of them dep uty shegiffs are being sworn in to-day.
 No cars have been run here since the strike Of the matormen and conductors was inaugurated in Bridgeport Thurs day. The lines of the company in An socnia and Derby, however, were not a. fected by the strike, and the men were to-day notified by the company of an increase of wages similar to that which is being granted to the men on all the lines of the company. The new sched- ule calls for 19 cents per hour for the first year. % cents for the second and third and 21 cents for all time after three years. The only difference be- tween the new and old schedules Is that hitherto the men had to work four years before they could earn the max irnum rate per hour.
