Nearly 2,00O employees of the Anerl- can Ora aphophone Go. voted a thunder ous affirmative vote yesterday after noon when they were asked whether or not they will accept the company's offers. Not a nay vote was heard.
 A mass meeting of the employees of the company was held yesterday af- ternoon' in Eagles hall to consider some further concessions made by the firm. After votes were taken in each of the departments, a general vote was taken, and the strikers agreed to return to work tomorrow.
 Eighty per cent. of the employees of the Burt Go. will receive increases, as a result of the new concessions made The po1ishers, who at first voted to remain out, didn't understand the pos abilities of the concessions made to them and in a vote taken yesterday they decided to accept.
 The employees will havet the eight hour day, wage increases, overtime special rates and what is equivalent to a shop committee. The name "union" is distastefu1 to the manufact cturers and in the factory of the American Graph ophone Co.,, the officials will see a committee of any men who have the same grievance" This. couched in other terms, is a shop cQmnittee.
 The American Graphophone Co., strike was a ren9arkapIe one III many ways. With 2,180 persons on strike for three weeks, the siege has been brought to so successful termination without the senb1anee of violence and no untoward occurrence marred the actions of the strikers except one, which was an affair which couldn't have happened if the picxets could have prevented it.
 The greatest number of men who have been out in any factory of the city were on strike at the Grapho- phone Go, and it was the. most sys- tematic and orderly of the .mpaign for better conditions in the city.
 Two things helped to attain this end. Public indignation caused the police to revise their attitude toward strikers in general and at the plant of the Graphophone Co. nothing but praise was heard for the manner in

 Cooperate in Plan.
Especial to The Farmer)

Stratford, Sept 2s.-The residents of Lordship Park will have a, school. After a few months agitation between the board of finance and the Lordship Political club it was definitely stated a few days ago by Supt. William B. Kelsey that a teacher would be ap- pointed within a week. Through the efforts of President John E. Phelan of the club. the Wi1kenda--Land Go. has donated the use of the Casino, which has been used for dancing dur ing the summer. The Casino will be transformed into a village school, where the children will receive their alementary education. Chairs and desks will be installed this week.
 The board of finance refused to grant any appropriation for the erect ing of a school for the dozen children who will attend the institution now donated. saying that it had no funds available for the cause. Supt. Kelsey said that the school board had ac- cepted the, proposal of the Lordship club to. the effect that the club would su bscribe the difference between the teachers salary and the cost of trans portation, which was the best the school board could. offer Lordship from available funds. The Wilkenda Land Go. will install electric heat and furnish it without expense to the town of Stratford or to the residents of Lordship-
 The annual town report of the board of selectnlen, town treasurer, board of education, board of finance and other town offices of the fiscal Sept. 1, 1915. has been printed and will be distributed to all the taxpay- CTS of the town in a few days. The report shows an itemized account of all expenses of the year. Despite the fact that the town is rapidly growing due to the great industrial boom which prevails in Bridgeport, First Selectfnan Rollin S. Curtis has been able to save $3,30o out of the various appropriations and has not called on the board of finance at any time during the last fiscal year to take any money from any other source.
 In the report Sup Kelsey recommends that more men teachers he appointed in the public schools. He says most of the cities are now appointing men to supervise the schools, stating that more efficient results can be accomplished and stricter discipline enforced.
 Health Officer George E. Lewis has reported 31 cases of diphtheria. dur ing the year. Most of these cases the disposal of sewage is causing much trouble There were 21 cases Of scarlet fever, 19 cases of measles, 10 eases of typhoid fever. Of whoop- ing cough there are 50 cases and of tuberculosis six.

Reservist, Ready to Take Field, Arrested
 For Fighting Here

When Andrew Fortwith, an Italian reservist, was arrested at State and Water streets, this morning after a fight with two fellow dodgers one of the trio cautioned the police to be careful of Fortwith's bundle-that it contained dynamite.
 With much caution did the police bring the package to, headquarters When it was opened it proved to be a bundle of cooking utensils and other articles of use in the field. Fertwith said he bought the goods to be ready to take the field promptly on his ar rival in Italy.
 Early todayEhe accused Joseph Mo Guinness of Taunton, Mass, and John L. Sullivan, of New York, of theft of his shoes. A fight followed that re- suited in the arrest of all three for as- sault and breach of the peace

which they handled the situation. On the other hand. the police praised the strikers for the manner in which they kept away from the factory and avoid ed breach of the peace.
 Captain John H. Anderson and Ser geant Charles Wheeler came in for commendation. In fact, they and their men were given three tremendous cheers yesterday afternoon at Eagles hall, for their favorableness of their attitude
 Probably the most conspicuous fi- gure in. the strike was Wa1er Lord, the chairman of the organization. To handle 2,130 persons of various na- tionalities in a mass meeting when there are petty jeaIousies and oftine every department is out for itself, is no easy job. To jeopardize your own position by taking the demands of the strikers to the company officials and to refuse to recede from stand until the officials grant what the men want, takes courage. Chairman Lord hand led the strikers and he mediated sue cessful1y with the officials. If he loses his job, it will be because he is the most successful and natural leader that has arisen in the ranks during all the strikes in Bridgeport.
 Gratitude among the strikers, after they receive what they want is often overlooked in the pleasure of return ing under new conditions. At the meetingi yesterday however, the Graphophone Go. strikers gave three cheers and a rising vote of thanks to Lord. President Dodge said also yes terday that he wished he had more men like Lord in his employ.
 Of his dealings with the. company in the last few days, MT. Lord declared they were most cordial. He said Su- perintendent Russell Mead and Frank F'unnell and President Dodge were courteous in the extreme in the last few conferences. ft3
 The Graphophone Co. strikers are going back better satisfied than most strikers. The po1ishers who held out, got what they want and the girls in the inspecting department have been shown means for advancement and have been given better wages.
