Strike Remains Unsettled.

New York, Feb. 28. —The state board of arbitration tried to settle the strike of the electrical workers here to-day, but failed. Janies Strong, president of the Electrical Contractors’ Association, appeared before the board but would not yield an inch. He said the men must return to work at once before the contractor would treat with them, and under no consideration would the eight hour a day request be granted until after May 15 next.
