MACHINISTS CALL
ARMS STRIKE OFF
AT BRIDGEPORT
Win S-Hour Day Demand
and Waive Formal Rec
ignition of Union.

tFrom stan Correspondent Of Tho Tribune
Bridgeport, Conn, July 24.-The
strike at the Remington works was
called off by the machinists' union to-
night. At the same time hurry calls
went out TO organizers Of the metal
working trades and leaders in all parts
of New England to meet here tonight
and tomorrow to canvass the situation
and make plans for a general fight for
the eight-hour day.
BY the terms of the agreement
reached by the heads of the interna-
tional unions involved and the su-
periors of Major Walter G. Penfeld in
the Remington Company all who quit
work get their OLD places back. there
will be no discrimination, and the ten
hour rate of pay will be given for
eight hours work The question as to
whether a millwright is a wood or a
metal worker, which precipitated the
trouble, will be arbtrated.
Under the agreement Bridgeport re-
mains an open shop town. and there is
no formal recognition of the union.
This was the main principle for which
the manufacturers who went over Major
Penfeld's head were prepared to fight.
Both sides profess to be satisfied with
the result, the men because they have
the eight-hour day. and the manufact-
urers because the trouble did not
spread as II at first appeared it might.
Union leaders say they will continue to
ask FOR the eight hour day in all
bridgeport shops, but that no action to
force it has been decided upon.
John ]. Keppler, vice-presldent OF the
Machinists' international Union, Is eX-
pected to return here on Tuesday 10

will have charge of the strikes IN other
places such as New Haven. WIN the

eve have done well here" he said,
"and we are very grateful to Major
Penfeld. He is the best little organizer

Samuel Gompers, head OF the
American Federation Of Labor, left for
Washington yesterday afternoon after
a conference with union leaders in this
city. He seemed averse to answering
questions bearing directly on the
strike situation in Bridgeport;

and I always support him in trying, to
better his conditions" said MI
Gompers. "But | will not stand for
anv interference by outside interests
with the workingmen.'

NEVADA AGAIN PASSES
TEST AS REQUIRED

Boston, Nov. 1.-THE super dread
nought Nevada, testing her efficiency
before the naval trial board today,
plunged for IL hours AT top speed
through the waters Of Massachusetts
bay and finished in a gale of Cape
Cod tonight. Her builders said her
performance was successful. 1t was
said that she would be subjected to
an overhauling at Provincetown to-
morrow, instead Of resuming her trials
Immediately.
The Nevada's oil burning boilers
pushed her at an average speed Of
20.50 knots during the IL hours. This
was in excess Of the costract speci-
fications Of 2o3a knots. In the test Of
economy Of fuel consumption the bat
tleship was found to be UP to require
ments notwithstanding the stress of
weather, according to the radiogran,
which said that the oil burned was
within the limit stipulated. e.
The Nevada's fastest single mile to-
day was not mentioned in the mes
sage. but it was believed ashore thai
she had not exceeded the mark Of 214

London, Nov 5.-C217 P. M.)-The all
night session Of the Greek chamber, the
new attack of former Premier yenizelos
on the policy of the government and
his criticism of King Constantine's in
reference with constitutional liberties
of the Greek people, are recent stages of
the new political crisis which for the
time being has overshadowed the militia

to latest information from Athens. the
King is expected to continue the Zaimis
cabinet and dissolve Parliament rather
than accept the other alternative Of per-
hitting NJ. Venizelos to return to power.

martial charges Of neglect and care
lessness in connection with his work
as an inspection officer during the

day. He testified that he had protected
the United States against loss by bat
terry defects, through a promise OBJ
tanned from s A Gardner, an agent
of thu Electric Boat Co., that such
inperfections as had developed would
be corrected. This promise which was
put into writing, he said, was not an
agreement and involved nothing that
would prevent the Navy department
taking any action in the matter.
The disappearance Of the paper on
which this promise had been written
vas mystery, Rear Admiral Little
testified. It was one Of three papers
which were 'mislaid" at the same
time at the yards Of the Fore River
Ship Building Co, where the k-2 was
under construction he said.
Rear Admiral Little testified that
when on Jan. 81, 1914. he reported to
the department on his inspection OF
the K-2 he had hidden nothing. 1t was
on Jan. %, he said, that the presence
Of lead drops in the batteries Of the
boat became known to him.
