EXHIBIT 19
INGERSOLL-RAND AND CLARK EQUIPMENT RECEIVE
SECOND REQUEST FROM JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey and South Bend, Indiana (April
19, 1995) -- Ingersoll-Rand Company and Clark Equipment
Company said that the United States Department of Justice
has requested additional information in connection with
Ingersoll-Rand's Hart-Scott-Rodino filing relating to its
tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Clark.
Thomas F. McBride, Senior Vice President of Ingersoll-Rand,

indicated that if the Justice Department raises antitrust
concerns, we are prepared to consider the divesture of
certain assets to deal with those concerns."
