port-WorkerS Gain
Concessions.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. 31.-Many
hundreds Of factory workers who had
been on strike recently returned to
their accustomed tasks today. their
differences with employers over hours
and compensation having been ad-
justed. In nearly every instance the
workers have entered upon the eight
hour schedule without a reduction in
wage. The largest delegation Of re-
turning employees was that of upwards
Of 500 girls at the Crown and the
George c.. Bachelor Corset companies.
At a meeting Of employees of the
Salts Textile company, where 1900 are
out and the plant is closed for two
weeks, announcement was made today
that work for $50 weaverS and slash
ers can be obtained elsewhere. No one
signified a willingness to leave the
city. The strikers are confident of
winning a shorter work day and
changes in the shop system.
A conference will begin today to dis
cuss the question of ordering a general
strike against the Remington Arms &
Ammunition company, because of al
legged discrimination against workers in
one trade and the discharge of four
men who served on a shop committee.
While the conference will deal spe-
officially with the alleged grievances
at the Remington plant, plans for the
campaigns for an eight-hour day, to be
opened at New Haven this week and
later at Waterbury and Hartford, also
will be considered.
The alleged grievances at the Rem
ington plant relate to the polishers,
who claim they were promised an ad-
vance In wages. but that, when the
eight hour schedule was adopted, their
wages were decreased.
The number OF plants at which there
are strikes today number IS.

London. Aug. 31.-The Times Balkan
correspondent at Bucharest. Rumania,
sends the following dispatch:
Germany and Austria are doing ev-
erything in their power to bring about
war between Bulgaria and her neigh
bors. A fresh invasion of Serbia, in the
opinion OF competent critics, will be

Hit Russian Flank.
Reports from the eastern front, in
dicating that the Austrians and Ger
mans are engaged in an effort to clear
the last corner OF Galicia, still held by
their opponents, have excited great In
terest here. The Russian lines on the
upper Bug and the Zlota Lipa have
been pierced, but II Is not yet clear
how serious a resistance is being Of
fered to the vast enveloping movement
from the south.
Having lost Brest -Litovsk, Grande
Duke Nicholas cannot afford to hold
the river positions IN the south In the
race OF an important movement, for to
do so would endanger his armies. The
opinion Is ventured by some English
critics that this latest move may con-
ciude. for the present, the great often
sive effort against the Russians, which
has been in progress since May, and
that, once Austrian soil Is cleared Of
the invaders, a new campaign may be
undertaken by the Teutonic forces, this
time In the near east. In support of this
theory Is cited the report that the CEN
tral powers are massing troops near the
Rumanian border. ls
The week end witnessed violent and
almost continuous activity on the part
OF the artillery Of the allies all the way
from the North sea to the Vosges.
There are no indications, however that
this expenditure Of big gun munitions
is being followed by infantry.

No official statement has been made
regarding the German decision, but
there seems good ground for the be-
lief that the government has adopted
the viewpoint set forth by the chan
cellor.
washington Aug. Slit has been
rumored in washington that Admiral
Won Tirpitz Gernany's sea lord, may
be relieved OF his office as the result
of the concessions to be made to the
United States.
There has been a suggestion in Dip
lomatic circles in Washington that
Won Tirpitz was responsible for the
sinking of the Arabic.
1t Is said that when directed to issue
instructions to submarine commanders
not to attack passenger liners, save un-
der recognized procedure, he failed to
do so, leaving those commanders to act
under the old instructions.
Whether or not these rumors are true
cannot be stated on good authority, but
IL Is known that Won Tirpitz fought the
proposal OF the Berlin government TO
respect rules OF international law on
the high seas to the very last.
Won Tirpitz was the father OF tho
submarine plan TO destroy British COM

In a statement made by DR.. Won

ial chancellor, on August %, he de-
clared that the circumstances sur
rounding the sinking of the Arabic had
not been fully cleared up, as no report
regarding II had been received and that
Il was not even known whether mine

ter craft sank the Arabic, or whether
the liner might not have justified, by
her actions, drastic proceedings by the
submarines commander. The chancel-
lor added:

time Nation-363 Vessels Have Come Under Stars

There is about triple the increase In
registered tonnage for any previous
year in American history. Our regist-
cred tonnage is now much greater than
at any time since 1863, when we had
2,026,114 gross tons in foreign trade.
1t is many times more efficient, how
ever, as the steam tonnage now
amounts to 1,273,067 gross tons, while
in 1863 1t amounted to only 1925
tons.
The increase from the ship registry
act of August Is, 1914, to June 10, 1918,
was so rapid that tonnage under the
American flag now employed in for
eign trade is nearly equal to such tom
mage under the French or Norwegian
flags. Britain tonnage, OF course, is
more than 10 fold greater"

veal stock; heat 1 tablespoonful of
butter and add to it scant teaspoon
full of minced onion, cook 5 minutes,
using great care not to brown; add
onion and butter to stock and rice

The care of baby's bottle is most
important and needs to be attended
to regularly and with cleanliness. If
a sterilizer is used fill the top of the
bottles with a little cotton as soon as
the milk is ready, cool slowly. If the
milk is kept in thermos bottle at
night cover the cork with two thick
nesses of oil paper before putting
cork in bottle. Often there is a musty
odor to a cork that is easily alb
sorbed by the milk. Scald all corks
each day in a little soda water and
dry in the sun.
Inspect linen closet and see if any
new towels, busters or floor cloths
are needed; look over kitchen uten-
sils and if they are of granite and
are Clipped discard and replace with
new ones. Such a mornings work
once a month will go long ways
toward saving the pennies and also in
keeping the house in perfect order.
