GREAT BRlTAlN'S
 AGENT IS HERE TO
 WATCH PROGRESS
Said to Convey Order to Get Out Munitions of War At
 Any Cost.


 While labor leaders Thomas U. Saw age, member of the General Executive Board of five members of the Interna- tiona1 Association of Machinists, J. J. Kepp1er, International president of the same association, and J. A. johnston, head of the Ironworkers, were non on-eommunicative as to the per- son in New York who had volun teered to attempt a settlement of the difficult ties here, it was rumored today. that Representative G. A. Thomas of the British government, man who has been highly instrumental in placing enormous war orders with the local concern had come into this city with the express purpose of demanding for the British government that no cessa- tion of work be permitted under any circumstances even though higher wages had to be paid Ito workmen em- ployed on the construction end.
 The presence of MT. Thomas in this city was not confirmed although an t'E. L." Thomas is registered at the Hotel StratfieId. When reached by telephone he positively denied that he came to this city in the interests of any government. had not visited the Arms plant or in any other way en- tered into negotiations with the strike leaders or heads of the Rennington plants. He refused to state the nature of his business in Bridgeport.
 At the Remington U. M C. CO, it was said that the British representa- tive had not been at the works since last week when he came from New York city by automobile

West End. The venture was a a suc- cess from the start and they were soon operating grocery stores and meat markets. in several sections of the city, When the store at State and Organ streets became too small they moved to the ground floor of the old Bostwick hall where they had a 1arg- CT floor space than any retail grocery store in the city.
 Soon after the establishment of their chain of retail grocery stores the brothers established a store house at Howard and Railroad avenues MT. Vincent then went to Kansas City and arranged with packers there for the direct shipment of beef to storehouse to supply the markets they operated. These shipments were continued un- til the elevation of the railroad tracks through this city prevented the use of the siding and forced them to aban- don the storehouse.
 Some years before then. however. MT. Vincent, who was man of won derfuI business insight, decided the company ought to branch out in an other direction. Due to the estab- lishmeYt of several misunderstanding in- dustries there the West End was ex- periencing a remarkable real estate growth and there was no retail coal company operating there. MT. Vim cent made contracts direct with Penn SylVan1Sf producers ana b116h ed the dock property at Howard ave- nue and Admiral street which the company has developed until it ham dIes coal for industrial as we'll as re- tail trade. For 8 years the firm has been considered one of the largest coal dealing firms in Connecticut
 In 1910 the firm bought the retail feed and grain business of the Will liam M. Terry Go. and has since car rded on the business increasing it ma terially under the wise management of MT. Vincent.
 MT. Vincent was of that old class of public spirited citizens who be- lfeved that no matter what private business a man might have there was certain service which he owed the state, which should be rendered will ingly without thought of enoulrnent or personal aggrandizement- It was this belief which led him to accept the nomination for Congress on the Progressive ticket in 1912. That the people had faith in his sincerity is at tested by the fact that he received the largest vote ever given a candidate who ran for Congress on an indepen- dent ticket in the Fourth Congress sionaI district.
 MT. Vincent when a young man served as representative from his na- tive town of Sherman during the leg islattve session Of 1883. He served as
