JAPANESE 'DECRY IRRESPONSIBLE
 TALK OF WAR

Tolzio, May 17-Irresponsible war talk was condemned by most of the speak CTS at a mass meeting today organiz- cd by an association representing part ly business and partly educational in terests.
 It was declared, however. that the time has arrived when the Japanese must be given equal treatnqent with other people, and the speakers con demned the aggressions Of the whites in the world against the colored races The lynchfng of negroes in the south lern states was instanced in this re- gard.
 Congressman Terutalzo Hinata and Kenzo Hayashi protested against the discrimination shown by the alien land ownership bill and condemned the absence of land and agricultural clauses from the existing treaty. They scourged the reckless sagitators, they said. who were merely playing the game of those seeking orders for guns and warships.
 Resolutions were then adopted de- claring that the Japanese in America must have equal rights with the whites, and this Fundamental solution of the existing difficulty would up hold Japanese prestige and guarantee permanent rest.

Bridgeporters must stop keeping chickens in their houses and particu lar1y setting and laying hens in their bedrooms.

New York. May 17-several thousand golf enthusiasts in this vicinity. among whom are many prominent men in the world of finance and in professional life. looked forward with keen interest toward the 1918 championship at Fox EdIIss N r., on May 21 to 24 There was reason. It was this: If Jerome D. TTavers, national amateur cham pdou, won the championship trophy of the Metropolitan Golf Association for the third successive time for the Up per Montclsir (J. J.) Country club, Of which he is the star member, would he give it up? The champion won this splendid emblem of golf superiority in 1911 and 1ea2 for his club. Those who know his ability felt that he would likely win it again this year. Daniel Chauncey, who donated the trophy to tine iassoctat1on, stipulated that if any player should win it for three success sive times for his club it should re-

RAPID GROWTH
 OF TRUANCY IN
 PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Truant Officer Farnun Says
 Parents Are to Blame

Approximately 1S 900 children attend ing school in the city of Bridgeport, and over ten per cent. of those addict ed to tr1ancy and of this proportion almost 100 per cent inspired to their acts by the parents who desire to have them self supporting in evasion of the State law which requires their passing g certain examinations or being over a certain age, is the startling estimate made public by fruant officers here today.
 Tn the city court Judge Wilder pass ed upon the specific cases of John Duck 667 Arctic street, and John Sclo- mon, 671 Arctic street, both charged with keeping minor children from school. Under bonds of S10 each to see that their offspring were contin- ued in the schools for the few remain ing weeks they were permitted to es- cape punishment of 8 more serious na- t1re.

 Speaking of the causes forcing so many young boys into the courts Tru' ant Officer E'arnum, who with Officer Larl1in had been responsible for the roundup, said: 'tIt is surprising that investigation shows over 95 per cent. of the truants in this city are forced to dt by parents who wish to have them earn support for the family. They are unable to put them regular Iy to work as the State laws require that they obtain certain schooling or attain a, fixed age. But by keeping them home and permitting them to make small sums for working about the house or tending babies for others,

Organized Labor Used As CatspaW Protest Against Ambassador Page Not Sanctioned
 By Regulars "Outlaw Organization" Has Manipulated the Hostile
 Movement

London, May 1.-The resolution of protest against the nomination of Walter H. Page as United States am bassador to Great Britain was intro duced by w. Coffey, a member of the executive committee of London Trades Council, on the strength of a letter written on paper bearing the letter head of the Allied Trades Council of Greater New York and signed Charles l.. Conway, secretary of the National Brotherhood of Bookbind- ers.''
 After describing Walter H. Page as a member of the firm of Doubleday, Page and Company, the letter says:
 ''This concern is bitterly opposed to organized labor. The only depart ment that forced recognition from the union standpoint was the bookbinders but they are now on strike being forced out as the policy of the firm is to replace mem with boys.''
 The letter also says that the Inter national Typographical Unfonb Local No. 6, continues the firm on the t'un- fair list and that the men who had been secured to take the strikers places rebe11ed and struck without tn @ aid of any organization.
 The letter concludes by asking all ''The organized labor of the United Kingdom to assist us in giving this mat tier the widest publicity and also to file protest to our governm on it's selection and a protest to your own government for it's acceptance of this man."

Brady, secretary of the Allied Printing Trades Council of Greater New Works If has been re- pudiated,s he said by the American Federation of Labor.
 MT. Brady announced today that he proposed to write letters to President Wilson and Ambassador Page explain ing that ConwaYs communication was Trades Council or by the international Brotherhood of Boollbinderss and that he would also inform the London Trades Council.
 e'whatever may be the conditions at the Doubleday Page plant in regard to the union labor MT. Brady said, I've have no desire to embarrass the ad- nninistration by any such tactics as those employed by Conway. If we had had any desire to protest against the appointment of MT. Page we would have addressed our protest to President Wilson in an official man ner.
 .sThe use by Conway of the letter head of the Allied Printing Trades Council was entirely unauth orized, as was his use of the name of Inter national Typographical Union, No 6, which has no connection with his or ganizatior. The latter is allied with the American Federation of Labor, and the strike which he refers to was precipitated by Conway's organization. We had no knowledge of it until the men were out"

~ stretch of road near English creek,
about twenty miles from Atlantic City.

dashed into a ditch. Aside from the
shock and few minor injuries, she
was not harmed. and Mr. Knox es-
capped with nothing rfoer serious than
the shock.

proceeding at a fair rate of speed
when they struck dark section or
the road. and the automobile ran into
nut. Although he made frantic ef-
forts TO control the wheel the former
secretary could not keep the machine
on the road. and ii made a sudden
swerve to one side.
He tried to shut off power but the
momentum offthe car was sufficient to
hurl il with considerable force into
the ditch. Mrs. knox, who was seat
ed at her husbands side. was thrown
from the cushions and flung into the
low brush at the side of the road.
The branches acted as a net, and
saved her from bad injuries Despite
her Embarrassing experience, Mrs. Knox
did not faint and was already scramh-
ling to her feet when Mr.. Knox, who
had stuck to the wheel. and brought
the car to a standstill several yards
away, ran back to her side.
Scratches and bruises of minor
nature and the shock summed up her
injuries.
