Representatives of Conductors and Tramen All Southeastern Roads, Who Are Demanding C. & O. Wage Scale and Working Conditions, Despair of Making Settlement
 by ArbitTation After Two Months Conference

F. L. Pittman. representative of the unions gave out the following state ment:
 "The contention of the employees is that they have not been paid living wages and that the necessaries of life and the exigencies of conditions re- ouire the increases asked for which are based upon the Chesapeake & Ohio scale There are also demands for amended working conditions.
 Matters of discussion with the va rious lines involved the unlimited use of expense money for and by officials in traveling: the use of private cars in attending meetings of various associa- tions and the installation of train au- ditors. spasmodically and periodically, who were men paid equivalent salaries and expenses to conductors. without previous experience or training. while the conductors had only reached their positions after years of faithful ser vice."
 Officials of the Southern Railway today discredited any danger of an immediate strike.
 The wage increases demanded aver age from 15 to 30 per cent.

EAST SIDE, ANCERED BY STENCHES, OPPOSES PLAN
 TO BUY GARBAGE PLANT

Residents of the Ninth and Twelfth districts are disturbed because the plant of the Bridgeport By-Products plant Is being operated again in the night season. so that they are obliged to gea oet of their beds. choked by the stsuoh, end close their windows. A movensnt ie afoot to hold mag meeting. to be called for sometime next week, ts protest against the fur ther operation of the plant.
 c. s. Flames. who resides on Wyllys Place, said this morning: We are not getting any smell from the burial of the garbage. We have been getting fhe smell only during the last three pr four nights when the plant has running at 2 o'clock this morning. They blew the whistle this morning hnd the machinery could be heard in operation. There is no use in any operation. Some of the employees say they are cleaning up. Whatever they are doing, it smells.
 There is a scheme afoot to get the city to buy the plant. I am sur prised to know some of the men who are back of the scheme.
 eff the city buys that plant think 1t will be one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated upon the city. If the people who got up the reduction system could not make a success of 1t how Is the city going to? The Board Of Health and the rest of the eity government know that this plant smells but if the people in the north ern pert of East Bridgeport have got to start this fight all over again re- dress will probably be sought in the courts.
 The rights of the people in East Bridgeport have been trampled on long enough.
 ''If they think they can make the people believe that the stench from the plant is the smell from the buried garbage they are mistaken. It is the tame unmistakable smell
 Another resident in the neighbor- hood of the town farm says he heard strange man suggest to one of the men employed at the garbage pit that he need not be particular about the way he covered up the garbage with dirt and lime He suggests that the members of the board of health keep 3 close watch on the trenches every night to see if they are not tampered with, in so as to omit a Emell after they have been covered.
 J. B. Livingstone, former president of the Bridgeport By-Product Co. gave statement to morning paper, last evening. in which he admitted that his plant was running. Wednes- day, to clean up screenings But he Sid not say anything about it running nn the several other nights when Mir. Eames says he saw it in operation. MT. Livingstone did not deny that the Etench came from his plant but says, Ask Merle CowleS where the smell came from
 Health Commissioner Frank C. Bogart said this morning that he did not have to ask anyone where the smell came from and that he is not going to enter into any controversy with Mir Livingstone. He said that ne would state. however, that he had learned enough of the plant in Asv- hrn street to know that he would never vote to expend $65,0O0 of the sity's money to buy it and put it in

W0MEN'S LABOR
 LEAGUE EFFECTS
 AN ORGANIZATION

The Women's Labor League was or ganized last night at a meeting in the hall of the Central Labor Union, with Miss OReilly and Miss Scott of New York as speakers.
 The meeting was held under the aus pices of the Central Labor Union. and the president, l.. A. Flanagan. intro duced Miss O'Reilly as first speaker.
 In a finely delivered addressSMiss O'ReiIly told of the pNghts and strug- gles of the women workers in the dis organized trades, and pleaded earnest ly and eloquently with those present to organize and stand together in the labor movement. Part of her speech was as follows:
 ''The employers say that they have a right to run their factories and shops as they see fit. and we say to them, yes, you have a right to do so. provid- ing you don't see fit to grind the lives cut oe t..e workers.
 "The union stands for the workers: that great mass of tollers. who feed the world. who clothe the world. who house the world. and who have a right to say under what conditions they should sell their labor power.
 ''It seems to me that no one has more right to use the stamp on the finished product than the worker him. SCH, ana ms can De OOD0 OH all pTO- ducts, as it is done on some now,-by using the union label"
 Miss Scott spoke briefly on the un- ion movement in the now strongly or ganized Hatters' Un:Sn: of the hard ships they had to go through before they were organized. and urged the demand of union made goods.
 An illustrated example, cited by Miss Scott, gives a clear insight of how the manufa cturers fight the union label which nevertheless. she said, grows and is now largely demanded by the l consumers. 'I came into a store, , she said, and asked for pair of un- | ion made shoes. The clerk showed me some shoes which he said were union but had no lahel on. When I told \ him that I would not take the shoes because they had no union label on. he became very indignant and told me ought to be glad to get shoes made under the American flag.
 That's all right said. but have worked under non-union and under union conditions. and I'll take the un- | ion label with my flag
 The president Of the Central Labor Union gave a short talk on organized i labor, and the meeting adjourned. | The new organization, the Women's Labor League, elected the following | temporary officers: Mrs. Mulloy. pres | ident; Mrs. Goulden. vice president; Miss Rabinowitz. secretary.

have contributed generously and have made it easy and safe for their pas tor to undertake the work of erecting this house of worship Father Me- Clean feels grateful for the generous gifts which some of the non-CathoIic residents there have contributed. To a Farmer reporter today, Father Mo- Clean said he wished to offer his thanks for the generous cooperation he has had in this work from all the residents of these shore places, and, he feels sure this generosity will con tinue until the church is enti-pIy out of debt. He ftsfkhermore stared that these churches at the summerfne places have wholesome effect on the moral health of the people, and also are strong financial benefit to the property in their locality.
 Continuing Father McClean said: Certainly our religious duties are as binding in the summer time as at any other time, in vacation places as at our homes. Nothing helps the full filling of these duties so much, rem ders them pleasureable and easy as pie can easily go to it. Then the presence of house of worship where yer placed brings a blessing to the people. To see it's cross crowned pinacle is always inspiring to the Christian at
 Father McClean and his summer col ony are to be congratulated and are worthy of the most generous assist ance that can be given them in this inspiring work, the raising of temple to the most High God. Sometime dur ing the summer, when the church is fully completed, the Right Rev. Bish- op Milan will perform the dedication ceremony. This will take place in all possibility in the month of August.
 Mass will be celebrated in the church every Sunday morning during the summer season at o'clock by Father McClean, or some member of the Connecticut Apostolate and it is to be hoped that large congrega- ton will greet these eloquent preach CTS every Sunday in this new chapel, and thus show their appreciation of the good work which the Connecticut Apostolate is doing the entire year.
