Bridgeport Strike Seems Inevitable
 Brass Company's
 Offer Fails to
 Impress EmpI0yes

A strike Monday at the Bridge port Brass Company, employing s,200 persons, appeared almost in- evitable following what union sources said was an unsuccessful conference with Herman W. Stein- kraus. president of the company. The conference began at lO:3O and ended this afternoon.
 The union said that Mr. Stein- kraus asked for a strike postpoIie- ment, with the company granting an immediate wage increase equal to any increase in brass prices al- lowed by the OPA, and with further wage negotiation to come later.
 The Bridgeport Brass local will take up the offer at a mass meet ing tonight. A strike for Monday has already been voted. and no change in this decision is expected tonight
 A Bridgeport Brass Company strike will tie up the last major brass producer still operating in Connecticut.

 Refuse Cash For Cheek
 After Charrao arrived in Portugal he tried to cash the checks and a protest was made. and he then learned that the bank was closed down Dec. 3, 1881, the petition states.
 Charrao was told that the reason for non-payment was that his &C., count had been closed, it is pointed out.
 Judge John Richard Booth ruled on July 26, 1883 that the claim should be classified in the "other liabilities" category.
 Pointing out that the Supreme Court has ruled on classification of claims since Judge Booth made his ruling, the petitioner claims the old classification is in error and not in accordance with law.
 He asks for vacating of Judge Booths order, reclassification of the claim as a depositor's claim and payment of dividends on the claim.
 Modification Sought
 Also scheduled to be heard tomor- row is a motion of the receiver of the Merchants Trust Company on S3 GOO note. dated July l2, 1880. of which Samuel Traurig is the en- dorSer. The court will be asked to modify an original order on sur rendering of the note, so that the receiver could make collection.
 The motion stated that on June IT. 1885 the receiver made an ap- plication requesting the court to di- rect it to surrender certain notes, including the $3,OOO note, and that an order was passed.
 The receiver states that from the records of the bank 1t appears that the note of which Traurig is en- dorser was not intended to be sur rendered because it was believed such note was collectible from the endorser." It is pointed out that the note was retained and is still held as an asset of the receivership, but collection can not be made unless the court modifies the previous or der.
