 From New Haven.

The eight workmen who handle baggage during the day season at the local station of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, went lon strike today for an increase in wages. The men now receive $1.8O per day. They ask for the same rate as the baggage handlers at New Haven, Hartford, Springfield and Providence, about $2.1O per day.
 The men went to Stationmaster Peter Hunt and about 10 o'clock to- day apd presented their demand He informed them he could not guarantee any incraese until he had consulted with James Foster, superintendent of the Harlem River division of the bag gage service, under whose supervision the local office is conducted.
 The strikers then refused to con tinue at work and Stationnaster Hunt notified New Haven over the ftele- phone. An incoming passenger train brought one of the clerks from the railroad offices there and he and Stationmaster Hunt un1oaded the bag gage car and pulled the big trucks about the platform for several hours About noon the stationmaster receiv- ed word that some adjustment would be made with the men and they re- turned to work. They declared, how ever. that unless their demands are granted they Will Qu1L aSa1n LOII1Or- row. The night men are in accord with the action of the day men and general strike will be called unless the increase in wages is granted.
 Martin Gib1in, depot baggag agemaster, remained at his post during the hours the men were out. Many passengers suffered inconvenience because they wre unable to gt baggage or have it checked. There was delay also in handling the mails. The strike of the baggagemen caused considerable con- gestion and delay in handling baggage and mail. Stationnaster Hunt has been trying without success for several weeks to get two additional baggage men to augment the nightsforce-
 A number of vaudeville acts that were to have opened at local theatres today delayed the programs because their baggage was not delivered on time.
 The baggage handlers work in shifts so that each puts in 10 hours per day seven days per week.

MEN TO
 FIGHT STATUTE
 ON BOYCOTTINC
Graphophone Go. Workers Can't Get Permission to
 Distribute Cards.

The forces of labor all over Con- necticut will be directed this summer in an effort to effect a. revision of Statute 1296. which is being interpret ed here in manner that places great restrictions on things labor men have always considered they were entitled to do.
 The decision of Judge Gager in the Max Ams injunction petition was so sweeping in it's effect that union men ing a strike-breaker to quit, even though they hire a private lot in which to do the urging.
 Following closely upon this, was the refusal of the police this morning to allow the American Graphophone Go. strikers to issue cards, calling atten- ton to a mass meeting, which will be held Saturday afternoon.
 This the union men contend, is drawing the lines rather closely. A representative of the Central Labor union called the attention of the po- lice today to the fact that c1othiers, secondhand dealers and others are allowed to distribute cards to men leaving factories. but the police refus- ed to allow union men a permit. Two men were fined this morning in the city court for issuing cards. N
 As a result, steps will be taken to get very competent legal advice on the meaning of the statute. At the mass meeting, which will begin at 2:3O, it is expected the matter will be discuss ed at length. P. F. Duffy, organizer of the A. F. of L., will be among the speakers.
 The State Federation of Labor has begun a campaign against the disliked statute.
 Meetings have been held in other cities and plans are being made for other gatherings.
 <The Graphophone Go. strikers met this morning. Tt was reported at the meeting that inducements are being made to the strikers individually by representatives of the company.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 20-While the American punitive expedition isFmark- ing time today in it's pursuit of Villa, efforts are made to strengthen the army, bases and lines of seommunica- ton. Fears are openly expressed by army officers that should an order come to withdraw thesAnerican. troops the Villa and other .marauding bands would raise the cry that the American troops are in retreat. with the result that American soldiers would be sub ject to constant night attacks and sniping as they retire from Mexico.
 To prevent such warfare against his columns, General Pershing is pre- pairing to be in position to move his forces in large units. The belief is general at Fort Bliss that the troops will encounter more difficulties in a withdrawal from Mexico than they did in their rapid 400-miIe drive from Columbus to Parral-
