places by experienced men from ad Joining cities will be completed.
 Trainrnaster Lou. P. Bristol and Freight Agent L. B. Nickerson when interviewed today by a reporter for The Farmer said that although the New Haven Company had been noti- fled week ago of the impending de- nandsi the petition was of such a grave nature that the men were in formed no reply could be made with in the "A hours specified and the men were promised a definite reply last night. The men however, decided to go on strike yesterday noon without awaiting the reply which would have been received from the officials at New Haven last night. They were asked to wait the few remaining hours but refused to do so.
 Explaining the position of the rail- road, it would appear that while the bone of contention might be settled if it related to this city exclusively, it is unlikely that the company can grant the demands made here with out doing so at all points along the New Haven lines between Boston and New York, where a uniform scale of wages is maintained. It is now fear ed that the strike may spread to other cities.
 There are two classes of men af- fected. Truckers" paid an average wage or SLID ana WOrK ten hours with overtime for additional work and t1oaders' averaging $1.s5 per day. An advance of 25 cents per day was ask ed by the former and 40 cents by the latter. Their demands were not sane toned by any union as they are not affiliated or organized.
 Railroad officials claim that these wages are inconsistent, in some cases , higher than any paid in New Eng land with the exception of Boston and New York, where living costs are much higher. They indicate that the demands of the men here are unrea- sonable a-lth ough they had been ser iousIy considered by the railroad heads.

 With perishab1e freight stfIls being received in Bridgeport but outward bound consi gnments kept down to the geEtion until the 125 strikers now walking the streets return to work or are replaced, and added police details ders in the waterfront section, the strike. of the freigat-handlers on tho New Haven road remains about the same as yesterday.
 At the offices of the company to- day it was asserted that not more than 125 men are out today, and the places of 50 of these have already been filled by men taken from other positions on the road. The two stations affected by the walk-out are the Whiting street transfer and receiving station and the Water street delivery station.
 But five cars were unloaded at the Water street station this morning, one of them containing a perishable con- signment from Boston, as against the usual 30 or more cars handled At the Whiting street depot it is expected that the station will be cleared of cargo before nightfall. Shippers are cooperating with the railroad and are holding back consignments that are not imperative.
 Although added precautions were taken to keep the houses securely locked except when teams arrived to leave or take loads, and a special de- tail of five extra patro1men under Captain Anderson and Sergeants O'Nel and Williams patro1led the streets approaching the depots, no violence was offered by the men who sought refuge in neighboring saloons where they discussed the affair.
 It is expected that by tonight many of the men, who are declared by the railroad officials already inclined 90 return to work, will be reinstated, and pending such a possibi no outside men will be brought here Should those living in Bridgeport not return by morning, arrangements to fill their

The loss is practically total as very little was saved from any of the buildings.
 Among the buildings burned was one large barn and a group of smaller buildings, including two silos, a water tower and tank, and a building used for the storage of grain
 In the main building was 4 5 head of cattle. of which 3S were blooded Holstein COWS, MT. Williams being en- gagged in the selling of milk None of the cattle was saved. For some of the cows MT. Williams had paid $10o apiece
 There is no explanation of the cause of the fire. MT. Williams had retired and was awakened by the glare of the fire upon his bed room window, but at that time the interior of the main harm was a mass of flames. An alarm was at once telephoned around and neighbors responded, but owing to the sbig start and the lack Of fire fighting Rpparatus nothing could be done to prevent the spread of the flames In one of the buildings a considerable quantity of grain was stored, and a little of this was saved. There were 90 tons of hay in one of the burned buildings.
 During the excitement of fighting the fire George williams, a, brother of the owner, collapsed from over exer- ton ard for a time 1t was thought that he might not revive, but prompt work upon the part of friends regus- citated him.
 The. loss to MT. WilIfaEs is 2, severe one. the buildings with their contents. including a gasoline engine and fsrra- ing machinery being totally destroyed. 94r. Williams did not care to place a ,dgure upon his loss but 1t is believed Ito be about s7,O00. He carried insur-' gance of $1, 800 upon the buildings and eS5oO upon the cattle
 Among those who responded to the alarm of fire was a force of men which for two days has been fighting "a forest fire in the hometown district, and which they had just succeeded in distinguishing as it was threatening the bull dings and houses. They were of course unable to do anything as the fire had gained too great a start and T4here were no facilities for work. MT. Williams feels his losses keenIy and in conversation with a representa- <dve of The Farmer said he did not know whether he would try to re- build or not He may dispose of his farm and try some other location.
