understanding regarding the terms of
an armistice, to be followed by a
general agreement for ending the
civil war. the necessity for imm ediate
Congressional action has disappeared
Because of this the bill authorizing a
new general election for all officials

able to arrange the armistice so that
Il would go into effect possibly by

BAD CHECK USED
AT LONG RANGE
TO DEFRAUD STORES

Through the long distance manipu-
lation of a worthless check, an un-
known man who represented himself
as an Armenian merchant about to
open a store in this city, succeeded in
defrauding the D. M. Read Co. of $25
worth of dressing gowns, and with the
opportunity given him to cover his
tracks by his novel method of opera
ton. he succeeded in making his get

The stranger called at Reads sew
eral days ago and asked to look over
the women's dress goods, particularly
the dressing gowns. He was shown
a, wide variety, from which he select

the price, representing that he had to
sell them over again, and at length
had the merchandise reserved, prom
ising to return later if he washed to
complete the purchase.
A short time later a telephone mes
sage to Reads called. for the deliv-
cry of the goods to an address in Gil
bert street, which the police have rea-
son to believe was used as a blind.
At the approach of the delivery clerk,
a boy, not the man who called to
make the purchase, stepped from near
the address given, received the goods
and presented a check.
By the time the delivery clerk reach
ed the store, and the check was found
to be worthless, the goods had van

stranger in Gilbert street Other mer-
chants received warning from Read
to be on their guard against the wi1es

city continued. today. Navarro's
scouts were out all night. Develop

ter and food supply Of the insurgents
around JuareZ are running short and
the reFolutionists must take some de-
finite action soon.
The scouts penetrated as far south
as Sepello, where Francisco Madero's

that there are upwards of 2,OOO

SCORES OF LOCAL
UNIONS TO TAKE
PART IN MEETING
Special Places Will be Assigned
to Members of Each Body,
But All WOrkmen Are Invited
Big Demonstration to be Made
in Favor of Trades Dispute
Bill and Workmen's COmpen-
SatiOn Act

That each local union in Bridgeport
will have it's own place at the Empire
Theatre, Sunday night, at the big
mass meeting which is being arrang-
ed in furtherance of the Trades Dis
pute and Workingmens' Compensation
Acts, was the announcement made to-
day by the committee of the Central
Labor union, in charge OF the affair.
There are over a score of local un-
ions. and the members Of each local
will be grouped together and 1t IS
possible that placards will be proVld-
ed, bearing the name of the various
unions. The meeting is not confined
to union men, however, but all work
ingmen Of the city are invited, as the
two bills in question are designed to
benefit all the workingmen. No ad-
mission will be charged.
The local committee considers ltself
particularly fortunate in having been
able to secure the services Of Robert
Hunter and Stuart Reid as the speak
ers of the evening, as both these men
are exceptionally busy at the present
time. and the demand for their SER
vices elsewhere is very great.
Workingmen throughout the state
are taking the greatest interest In
these measures, and the mass meeting
in Bridgeport is but one of score
or more, which will be held In the
principal cities and towns in Conec-
ticut within the next month, while the
compensation and trade dispute bills
are under consideration by the Legis-
lature.
The Trade Dispute bill is meeting
with the bitterest oppositlon in GER
tain quarters. The Waterbury Amer
lean says, of the situation in that
city:
''Col. Pope, president of the Con ..1.
necticut Manufacturers association,
and other officials of that organiza-
ton have written to the local manu-
facturers urging them to be present
in force at the Capitol, on Thursday,
when the joint committee on Judi
ciary and Labor will continue the
hearing on two bills intended to
legalize boycotting and picketing, when
legally conducted.
"The Manufacturers' association has
issued a circular strongly condemning
these bills. Picketing seems to be re-
earded as ipiquitous per Sc. The 'nan-
ufacturers have worked long and
hard to make it unlawful.
"a labor union official-who said
that ne didn't propose to appear at
the hearing-said that denying the un-
ions the right to picket is almost as
bad as denying them the right to
strike They couldn't maintain their
strike, he said, unless. they could in
duce their fellow workmen not to take
their places.
why haven't We the same right,
he said 'to persuade others not to
take our jobs as the employers have
to persuade others to take then?' -
