BRIDGEPORT BRASS co.
 TO ERECT FOUR STORY
 ADDITION TO ITS PLANT

The Bridgeport Brass Co. is plan ming a very large addition to it's plant in East Main street. The building will be of brick and steel four stories high, adjoining the present factory there and of the same construction. Bids have been submitted on the work and the contracts are to be let soon.
 Now that the corn belt is all burned up with the drought, perhaps the gov ernment will perceive the folly of bouncing Chief Moore.

British Physicians
 Contemplate Forming
 Genuine Labor Union

London, Aug. 16.-The British Med ica1 Association, at its annual meet ing, seriously debated the advisabi1ity of organizing as 8, labor union.
 DecentIy the official organ of the association was muIcted for heavy n- bel damages for calling a practition- CT a Quack. Insomuch as, under a recent decision of the British courts. the funds of a labor union cannot be touched for such drnaages, the doctors felt that the reorganization of their association into labor union would not be without certain advantages
 The British Medical Association in its recent strike against the provisions of the compulsory state insurance act enu1ated the tactics of labor union iontsts, but in spite of the reputed higher mentality of it's members, it suffered defeat on account of a lack of solidarity, just many of its hum bier exenplars have.
 Following in the footsteps of the doctors, the police are conternp plating the formation of a labor union to be called the Analgamated Society of Policemen. Letters appear every week in the police organ, citing griev- ances and suggesting the formation of a union as the first step towards their correction The chief demand is for maximum police salary of ten dol lars a week, and one correspondent suggests that, as the police have to enforce fair play in the labor disputes of others, they should have little difficulty in en- forcing their own demands One wri- ter htnted that it might go badly with the public if the police struck for their rights. One of the chief wor- ries of the police is due to the suffra- gettes whose activities have added greatly to their overtime, for which they get no extra pay Recently the force has been increased in order to give longer vacations, but the men feel that their lot Is still cast in hrad places.

escape the consequences of public condemna-

are becoming trihe thinner than of old a
process facilitated by the knowledge that
breaking the law is attended by more UNI
pleasant consequences to the volator than was
formerly the case. Having done as it pleased
