The Maietta-Nappi feud, which has gained some prominence locally within the past few days by the ar rest of Salvatore Nappi on charges of intimidation and libel brought by Salvatore Maietta, and the arrest of Raffaele Nappi and Maietta yesterday on charges of assaulting each other, came to the fore again today.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 MEN WILL STRIKE
All Unions Having Locals In Hartford Declare They Will Quit
 When Ordered

Hartford, Oct. 1S.-That the rail- road unions having locals in Hartford will present a solid front and twill walk out to a man. if the general rail- road strike effective on the New Haven road on November 1, comes to pass, was the firm prediction made today by several individuals members of these unions. Formal expression of opinion from local unions will be ob- tained at a conference of engineers, fremen, conductors, trainmen, ma chinists and telegraphers of the Hart ford division Thursday evening at Central Labor Union hall.
 A few individuals express doubt about the strike actually happening but insisted that if they were called off it would be with no loss of prestige to the unions. It would certainly re- suit in some form of compromise in which the unions would benefit as largely as the railroads.
 New Haven road'' officials are de- clining to comment on the situation General Manager Bardo said today that there was nothing he could say at the present stage.
