Organizers affiliated with the American Federation Of Labor have arrived from New York to review the situation, and threats of a general strike affecting all the garment lnak- CTS in Bridgeport are made unless ar bitration of the differences can be ac- complished.

Extra police and detective details were posted in and about the premises.

 Pathetic sights and tales were seen and heard att the labor headquarters today where women and children, a1- legfng that tfhey had been brought to Bridgeport from homes in distant cit ies were crying at the possibility of their not again being employed at the present rates. Wholesale discharges have been made by the management, wto hereafter will seek only residents of Bridgeport labor in hhe shop.
