 The police scored a partial victory fin their first sl<irn1ish with the strix- ing raachinists this noon The vic tory was silorf-Iived. however. and this afternoon the police officials were a bit worried about the situation. Ev- cry available policeman is doing duty on BafnIm avenue at the plant of the D. M. c. company, under the personal direction of Supt- Birmingham.

 They waved these at the factory workers as they trooped by the shops. The parade had reached Seavfew ave- nue and was countermarching on Barnum avenue. when the police step ped in Things began to happen then.
 A high-powered automobile, bear ing Capt John H. Redgate and1 a squad of bluecoats thundered down Barnunn1 avenue hill, lodging traffic in the crowded street. until it was abreast the leader of the parade.
 The leader was a husky young man who had the signs pinned on his back and ehest-in sort of a Sand Wich man. fashion.
 Have you got a permit to pa rade2 2'' the captain demanded as he halted the procession.
 seNo, sir" was the answer.
 The parade dispersed quietly. The strikers took positions along the side walks and ssbuttonholed' workers as they left the factory at noon. The police were at their heels and sought to keep the crowds moving
 At 1 o'clock there were no. demon stratfons, aside from the cries of the girls who had quit at noon. Most of the maehinfsts had returned to. their work, 1t was said

 Twenty girls gathered on a. fire es- cape on the third floor of the shop They had on their hats and coats and some carried their lunch boxes. They looked down upon the shouting crowds in the street, as if wavering- t"Come on along" was the cry that went up from the streets They came
 They were followed by groups from other parts of the factory. As each new striker appeared, there was shout from the crowd in the streets By 1:30 o'clock. nearly 200 girls were marching along the side walks. calling to those in the shops to Come on out..''
 The police were kept busy. There were no serious disorders, thouE5a several threats of arrest were made when the crowds obstructed traf- fic
 The girls seemed to enjoy the pro eeediHg. They chatted gaiIy and seemed to look upon the waIz-out as a, sort of frolic.

WARSAW'S FALL REPORTED NEAR,
 ATTACK PUSHED
London Hears That Evacua- tion of Polish Capital
 Will Come Soon.

London, July 21.-Run1ors of the fall of Warsaw are in circulation to- day but the latest communications from both sides indicate the Austro- itaI has slowed down. The Russians continue to lose ground but appa- rentlyz the campaign has not yet been brought to a decisive issue.
 The most important success now reported by the Germans has been won by General Won Woyrsch, south of Ivangorod This seems to have been a surprise attack. The Rus sfans, who had heavy reserves in the Tnei eighborhood. later delivered vigo- rous counter-attacks,z but failed to re- cover the lost ground Windau in Courland. on the Baltic, is in the hands of the Germans, who are now within S5 miles of the Russian sea port of Riga.
 Possession of Riga Ny the Germans, would force the Russian armies near shavlK and A4ltAu to retreat as the Baltic port is their chief base of supp plies The advance of the Germans hope not only to capture Wa rsaW but to cut off the retreat of the Rus 'sians by placing forces between the retiring armies and Petrograd.
 All these late advices place Grand Duke Nicholas the Russian com mander-in- chief. in an embarrassing position. Military writers assert that the presence not only of landwehr but of landsturm troops in the Ger man lines indicates that the central powers are exerting every resource to crush the Russians.
 Mine warfare along the British front and isolated actions on the re- mainder of the western battle line are not of sufficient Importance to dis tract public attention from the east ern campaign.
 The Italians are reported to have waged a fierce battle yesterday all along the Isonzo front with some suc- cess on Corso plateau.

STRIKE LEADER HERE TELLS HOW IT CAN BE ENDED Remington Plant Differ ences First Must Be Ad-
 justed, He Says. WHY STRIKES HAVE
 BEEN CALLED HERE Sub Contracts Given By Remington Folks Involve
 Other Factories.

What must be done to restore industrial peace in Bridgeport?,' ?,' was asked of Thomas J. Savage. who to- day is in charge of the machinists' strike.
 'eThe demands of the machinists are these, he replied:
 stAn eight hour day, with the
 same wages as are now paid.
 Recognition of the union.
 Reinstatement of all men on
 strike
 General settlement of grie-
 vance held by the machtnists
 against Major Penfield.''
 > These were the conditions, he said, at the Remington plants. What about other plants where strikes have been ca1led?'i
 These plants are doing work, for the Remington plants, and men on strike in these plants will stay out until terms are agreed upon between the Remington plants and the ma chinists.', Later. the matter of an eight hour day would be taken up in other factories. He said that in calling strikes the procedure followed was to approach the factory heads first to tell them the cause of the strike i; that the Tnachinists at the Remington plants are on strike, and. that. since their factories are doing work for the Remington plants, their machinists A1uSt7 CSdSS WOThAhS OH LIZ Isc1Il1uSlOn contracts until terms are made with the Remington plants,
 Savage said, Just before the noon hour that there were about 985 men now involved in the labor troubles. Three hundred of them are structural iron workers, 500 are toolmakers and nachinists and 1S5 are 1nillwrights The miIlwrights are not on strike, he saids but awaiting settlement of the j1lrisdictiona1 dispute.

 This is said to affect the Iron Workers of America and may precfpi- tate trouble.
 Machinists employed inside the fac tory buildings assert to-day that only 21 men walked out this morning. This is opposed to the labor leaders statement Of 70. These men inside also claim that they don't know what the differences are about and that they don't want to walk out until they know definitely what they are,
 Tickets were numerous at the D. M. C. buildings to-day. They were better organized and instead of form ing wordy groups and blocking the streets, they approached workers in pairs and with one picket on each side of the worker, they adJured him to quit, in a quiet manner. When the workman objected to being ac- costed. they left him without argu- ment.

By the walkouts, two of the pro gram of three walkouts for this morn ing. planned by the labor leaders, were accomplished. The final blow at the Arms plants on Boston avenue was planned for this morning but was only partly successful
 Rolled by the action of Major Wal ter G. Penfield yesterday in holding within the shops the men who were expected to. receive the strike order at noon, the labor leaders adopted an- other method last night. Automobiles were chartered and pickets made house to house visits at the homes of the machinists. The men were 1n- formed that the strike order had gone into effect and that they were not to go to work this morning. As a re- s1llt,- the leaders claim, only 30 per cent. of the machinfSts in the Arms plants on Boston avenue, who are included in the strikers lists, have remained at work.
 I The strikers at the Columbia Nut & Bolt Co. returned to work this
 morning result of the action of Fred Atwater, treasurer of the con cern, who returned his contracts to the Remington firm and announced that his plant would make no more munitions On this ground the men went back to work.
 A demonstration in front of the plant of the Coulter & Mackenzie Go. was queIled this morning when the po- lice dispersed the strikers. According to officials of the plant. the men were shouting ..Scab,' which resulted in bringing the more timid ones from the factory, and the noise became too se- rious for the police to countenance.
 In addition, 25 guards quit at four o'clock this morning at the Remingto works. Eleven quit last night. They want more pay.
 One hundred of the night force of machinists at the U. M. c. plants an- nounced this morning they had quit. Three hundred more were expected by noon.
 Machinists' hall on Cannon street was crowded all morning. After ten o'clock, however, the biggest gather ing the smachinists and millwrights have yet had, started to convene. Men dropped into the hall from the Coulter & Mackenzie and Grant shops, bear ing their unopened lunch packages un- der their arms. They continued to gather until the club rooms overfowed and as large a crowd was in the street unable to enter.
 plants of the Remington and U. M. c. Works was begun at 11:s0. for the pur- pose of establishing pickets and en- forcing the strike order.
 Events oe interest began to be re- corded about 10 o'clock. Labor leaders asserted that things would begin to be serious for the nnanuf acturers who are holding out, by the afternoon. The strikers at Machinists' hall ap- peared to be unanimous ia the stand to fight it out if it takes all summer. They were optimistic for the general eight hour day cause.

 The effort to get money was u11faI- tering The distrdct was soon heckled with a. fIretoofh comb. Some gave gladly some sorrovfully. some : 1eIt1cfaufly and some declined to give.
