LAKE TORPEDO BOAT
MACHINSTS STRIKE
Demands for Eight Hour Day and
More Pay Refused

Bridgeport, Aug. 1.-THE walkOut
of seventy machinists and helpers at
the Lake Torpedo Boat company,
which is rushed with orders for sub
marines for the United States govern
ment; the granting of a ffty-hOur
work week by the Burns and Bassick
Manufacturing company, which was
turned down at a mass meeting of the
employees in machinists' headquarters
and the voting of the employees of the
American and British company and
the Standard Manufacturing company
to present demands to these COM
panies and to strike if they are re-
fused was the net result of the labor
agitation here yesterday.
1t was one of the most momentous
days since the outbreak of the trOu-
BILE here and at the close of the sew
eral meetings held last night President
w. H. Johnston of the International
Association of Machinists, declared
that "strikes were like scarlet fever
pidemics-contagio us-and that he
feared unless the manufacturers
showed a more cOnciliatory attitude
that the situation would get beyond
his CONTROL
Unexpected in Union Circles.
The strike at the Lake Torpedo
Boat company was somewhat preciD-
itous and unexpected in union circles.
The officers of the union first sought
a conference with the officials of the
company relative to a presentation Of
the demands. The company stated
they preferred to treat with COM
mittee Of their own employees.
AS result a committee was ap-
pointed from the factory which wait
ed on the officials yesterday afternoon,
shortly before O'Clock. The COM
mittee presented their demands for
a universal eight-hour day and an
increase in pay, together with some
other minor requests. Most of them
were fatty refused. The rate Of
wages was declared to be exorbitant.
Held Meeting Last Night.
The committee demanded an i'm
refusal the men walked out at 3: 5
o'clock. They held a meeting last
night at Machinists' headquarters, but
nothing was given out for publica-
ton.
H. M. S. Robinson, managing di-
rector of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co,
gave out this statement:
"All the machinists and helpers i'll
VOlved are American citizens and in
view Of the fact that the only work
carried on by the Lake Torpedo Boat
company is for the defense of the
United States government, it is diff
cult to understand what may have
Influenced the action of these en-
ployes, unless one should look behind
the facts as they appear

GERMANS MUST GET

Count Reventlow Declares Kaiser
Must Make the New Triple AL
lance a Reality,

Amsterdam, via London, Aug. IL,
6:36 A. M.-Discussing the Balkan sit
uation in the Tage Zeitung. Count
Reventlow declares that Germany
must cut her way through to Con-
stantinople and make the new triple
alliance reality.
The demand for direct communi-
cation between Hungary and Turkey"
ne writes, has found expression more
and more energetically during the
past few months. Among the secur-
tiles which the new triple alliance
needs and must obtain is permanent
security of the political, economic and
military link between Constantinople
and Berlin and Vienna. The alliance
can develop full strength and highest
effect only when the allied powers
possess assured communication. In
future times of peace no less than now
the new triple alliance will constitute
great strategic factor, and the rapid,
thorough building up Of this factor is
our most immediate task"

FRENCH ARMY HAS
PLENTY OF MUNITIONS
Under Secretary of War Convinced
That Allies Will Win Complete Vic
tory in European Struggle.

~
Faris, Aug. IL, $3.50 a. m.-Albert
Thomas, under secretary of war in
charge of munitions, tells the Petit
Parisien that Frances efforts to nro-
duce munitions are different in meth
cd but equal in results to those of
England, which he recently reviewed,
The newspaper quotes him as follows:
1--WE have an army which at the
present moment is armed so as to
withstand any shock, an army which,
on the other hand, is capable of MAX
ing a strong offensive. It's morale is
good; that is to say, the army is pre-
pared to remain as it is if necessary.
Every day our strength grows both
in England and in France. Notwith-
standing the formidable resources at
tho disposal of Germany it is not pos
sible that the resources of the allies
will not assure them, when the time
is ripe, complete victory. What we
have, what England will have--all the
resources that she can create-Wlll
assure us supremacy. l am convinced
of this because l know. Every day L
repeat to my friends my conviction
that we shall be victorious"
