New Haven, March 16.-Charac- terlz1ng some of the conclusions reached by the conference commit tees of the Order of Railroad Con- ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen which resulted in the issuing of strike ballots to 4,OOO con- ductors and trainnen and yardmen of the New Haven & Hartford Rail- road as guess york; denying that the proposition submitted to the com mittees counter to the original de- mand schedule failed to give the men an increased compensation and de- claring working conditions on the read in this section of the country the New Haven officials today official Iy expressed their attitude on the p1oyes.
 'EThe statement printed in the newspapers last night" says the rail- road, lover the signatures of l.. D. Sheppard, first vice-president of the Order of Railway Conductors, and G. H. Sines, Vice-president of the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen, is some what misleading in that after read ing their statement one might readily assume that the company's proposi- ton of March 14 offered the men nothing in sthe way of additional com pensation. As a matter of fact the company's proposition of March 14 carried with it an increased conn pensation amounting approximately to $20O,ooO per annum for the 4.0OO men involved in the controversy.

STATE WIDE STRIKE IS
 UNDER WAY
Especial from United Press.)

Philadelphia, March 16.-The effort to satisfactorily end the trolley strike having apparently failed through the refusal of the officials and directors of the trolley company to endorse Geo. H. Earle's new arbitrating sugges- tions, preparations are now well un- der way for the threa tened state wide general strike. The State Federation of Labor chiefs today sent the call to all state unions to vote on the strike question at once and make prompt return of the attitude of their mem bers. If the return is satisfactory the strike will come early next week.
 The trolley company officials report ed today that they had 1,200 cars in operation and that everything was quiet Nanu eacturers generally throughout the city say their old era- pIoyes are coming back to work.

ANYBODY WANT A BABY WITH NICE
 SKY BLUE EYES?
IF so APPLY TO CHARLES S. FOX, FIRST SELECTMAN OF FAIR FIELD,WHO HAS ONE TO LOAN, OR GIVE AWAY.

Does anybody want 8 boy baby, three months old. or perhaps. little less, healthy and with sky blue eyes :? applicants communicate at once with Charles S. Fox, the big first selectman of Fairfield, who is now trying to find a home for such a little one.
 The child was placed on the steps that lead into the saloon of P. J. Brennan, Fairfield, about 10 o'clock, last night. MT. Brennan heard the ba by cry. It was in a basket, warm ly covered. MT. Brennan turned the haby over to Mrs. Edward Murphy, motherly woman in the neighbor- hoou. Gelectman Fox has asked Mrs. Murphy to keep the baby until the authorities can make an investiga- ton.
 The little one is poorly dressed and there is reason to believe that it's antecedents are sadly unromantic. Who it's father is, or who it's mother is, MT. Fox said, this afternoon, he has been, as yet, unable to learn.

 to "Hero of Khartoum."
 Thompsonville, March 16-At a reception given by the Hibernians in honor Of the Irish patroit, Edward O'Meagher Condon,e held in Franklin Hall last night, the presiding officer, Rev. Edward F1annery of Hazard vile, state chaplain of the Hiber- nians, assailed Governor Weeks for what he termed his remarkable pow CT of forgetting the existence of one third the population of Connecticut
 In introducing one of the speakers, Father Flannery' had occasion to mention 3'our hero in Khartoum, the ia ther of our fellow townsman and the man to whom the Irish in the United States owe more as the Lord Mayor of Dublin said, truly than to all the other presidents put together which may serve as a contrast to the conduct of our own chief executive who seems not to know of our exist ence when it is a question of official appointments
 The large audience cheered Father F'lannery's remarks enthusiastically.
