VILLAS GENERAL
 WILL VISIT U. s.
 ON PEACE PLANS

Fl Paso. Sept. 13-Genera1 Felipe Angeles, second in command under General Villa, announced at Juarez last night that he would leave soon for New York and Washington on a
 mission for Villa and the convention government. The nature of this mis- sion he declined to discuss It is un- derstood here that Angeles will be au- thorized to represent the convention government in dealing with the Pan American peace proposals and also will be free to present his personal views upon the situation created by the advance of General Obregon into Northern Mexico. In these personal views he is believed to have the sup port of members of various factions among them some individual followers of Carranza.
 Villa, it is understood has placed his future as leader of the convention forces in the hands of Angeles and is ready to consent even to complete elimination.
 The scope of Angeles mission will not be limited to the fate of the con- ventton government, it is understood, but will deal with the entire future of Mexico. z

BILLIARD MEN TO MEET FOR TALK
 ON CONDITIONS
Employees Complain of Low Wages and Insanitary
 Surrounding.

Charges that the Builard Machine Tool Go. is not treating it's employees fairly are made by a committee of the workers there.
 The following statement has been issued by the committee:
 The employees of the Bul1ard Ma chine Tool Go. desiring to avert labor troubles, wish to make known to the people of Bridgeport the following facts concerning conditions existing at the plant of the Bu1lard Machine Tool Co.,:
 -''1 Wages at the Bullard Machine Tool Co. are excessively low The average wage of all the men em- ployed at the plant is only S14 peh week or 1ess-this in spite of the boom caused by the war. New men are being enticed here from other cities ands after arriving here fFbroke,,' are hired in large numbers at wages ranging from IT to 35 cents per hour for an eight-hour day; this in spite of the fact that the company is ad- vertising extensively in out of town papers with the offer of good wages Many machinists, moreover, are hired without any definite rating with the understanding that they are to receive good wages, only to receive 22 and 25 cents or less per hour after they have completed two ii ; 's2> Laboring conditions at the Bull lard Machine Tool Co. with regard to proper sanitation are unsatisfactory. About 400 workers are crowded to- gether into a. small damp washing room. The factory itself is very dirty and the management is lax with regard to proper ventilation, clean ing windows etc. |.
 'ts. The men are required to wait until Monday of the third week after commencing work before they re- ceiye any pay This causes great hardship to. the new men who arrive in the city without money. Instead of requiring the men to wait nine days after the week of work is com pleted,. pay day could be advanced to an earlier time such as is the cus- tom in the other factories of the city.
