The maChln1StS' local mas aeClQeO lO continue it's fight,~and the members of the Bridgeport unions, through their representativeS in the Central Labor Union, having voted to support the eight hour move of the machinistsI will continue to lend their aid to the campaign for%the eight hour day
 Good news came to toilers today in an announcement from The D. M Read Co.,, that Beginning Monday, Sept. 6, the closing hour for the big store will be o'clock. Heretofore it had been customary to close the store at o'clock. Employees of the large down town stores were delighted at this news for they agreed that it was merely a herald of what was to take place in all the stores.
 With a shorter working day in the factories, employees of the industrial establishments will be able to do shop ping through the week which they heretofore have been obliged to post pone until Saturday night.
 Notable among the plants to give notice of the 50 hours week is that of the International Silver Co- The Bridgeport factories are part or a, chain of factories extending through out New England and@into Canada, with its main office in sMeriden- The Bridgeport plant was formerly the Holmes 6 Edwards factories. James G. Ludlum, president of the Bridge port Manufacturers association, is the head of the Bridgeport plant. The Blue Ribbon Auto & Carriage Co- has posted a. 50 hours notice.
 There is considerable speculation even among certain manufacturers, as to the nature of the conference of e1n- p1oers held at the headquarters Of the Manufacturers association, Friday night, when the recommendation was made that a 50 hour week be adopted
 While the 50 hour week is con cession to labor in many factories. here are Bridgeport factories not on the eights1hour schedule that are not working 5oN hours a week. Among these are the Columbia Graphophone Co. and the Harvey Hubbe1I Go.
 Some manufacturers today declared that they had not heard officially Of the Manufacturers, association recom- rnendations and were not prepared to say what they would do in the fu- ture
 The Smith & Egge plant has for some time been running on nine hour day.
 Business Agent George Bowen, of local 3o,s International Association of Machinists,, reiterated today that the WorkingmanC of this city was determin- ed to get the full demand of eight hours per day and that nothing less would satisfy them.
 It was announced that there was no change in plans for speaking and or ganization at various plants and meet ings of the American & British Manu7 featuring Co.'S employees and those of the Standard Manufacturing Co. for the purpose of formulating demands on their respective officers would be held at nachinists' hall tonight. Speaking was done at both these places at noon time today.
 At the office of the Blue Ribbon Auto and Carriage Company Fair field avenue it was said that the nine hour notice, effective September 10 the beginning of the work year, had been posted this morning. Nearly 200 men win be affected by. the short CT work day concession.

The Bridge port plants are but a small part of the Crane interests and nasty action could not be taken to-day. It is expected that this company which has been notably considerate of their employees will find way to shorten the hours.
 Fred G. Bruel, operating a machine shop at the corner of Kossuth and Seymour streets, to-day granted his men an eight-hour day. The move is said to have been voluntary upon his part, he having promised his men that. as soon as contracts warranting the shorter hours. were received he would put them that pasis- He made good his promises to-day when announcement was posted in the en-3 trance to the factory stating that the eight hour day would begin at once.
 At the Baird Machine Tool Com pany's plant it was said that no final action had been taken by the officers of the company. It was the belief of some of those with whom the ques- ton was discussed that that company would follow the lead of the larger industrial plants here.
 A similar condition existed at the Bryant Electric Company, no notice having been posted. Officers thought that something would be done short ly.
