ARMS co. LABOR TROUBLES NOW
 ARE NEAR END Most of the Strikers Return to Work on Order of
 Union Officers. CONTRACTORS SAY
 HELP IS AMPLE Squad of Police Finds No Need to Molest Groups
 of Onlookers.

Anicab1e adjustment was made today of the differences between the 300 striking brick1ayers and James Stewart & Co.,, contractors for the new Bridgeport Arms Company plant. This morning, said Superintendent c. cent of their full quota of bricklay- CTS at work.
 The basis of the adjustment was as follows:
 The brick1ayers are to work nine hours day, instead of eight, the ex- receiving double pay therefor. This receiving double pay therefore. This will bring their daily wage to S6. This is in lieu of the strikers de- rnands for TO cents an hour instead of 60 cents.
 Bricklayers will be. paid in the buildings on Saturday. instead of be ing compelled to wait in line at tn office The brick1ayers will have two entrances, to the plant instead of one, Both these innovations are conces- sions to the men, in that they modify the double check system and will facilitate the process of paying-off.
 In anticipation of possible trouble a squad of policemen under Captain John H. Redgate and Sergeant Tho4n- as Flood was sent to the plant early this morning. They @d nothing to do, as the men returned to work without any demonstration.
 The adjustment of differences fol- lowed the visit here yesterday of George Thornton, vice president of the Bricklayers' & P1asterers' Inter national Union. At meetings yester- day afternoon and last night, he told the strikers that they were acting in violation of union agreements with the contractors, and proffered them the terms which the company would meet. Rejection of the compromise and their refusal to return to work would render them liable to 5suspen- sion and fine5lby the union, he told them. The men decided to return
 Superintendent c. s. Greist, in charge of the construction work, said that 80 percent of the full force of bricklayers were at work this morn ing.
 [ s.Did all t11e men who walked out return. to the job ?'' he was asked.
 Ss.All< that we wanted,' he answered briefly.
 It is understood that some of the walk-out have been refused reem- I pIoyment.
 MT. Greist denied that any 1aborers had been laid off when the brick layers walked out. A couple of hun dred of them had quit, he said.
 *sTheir5 places have been filled by others" he said. All morning there was big crowd of Iaborers on hand Most of them were men formerly em- der the watchfu1 eye of Capt. Red gates police squad and contented themselves with talking things over in quiet, peaceful little groups. A large proportion of the 1aborers who were put to work today are negroes

AUSTRTANS PUSHING
 ATTACK ON PRZEMYSI

London, May 2s,@The fortress of Przenysl, garrisoned this time by Russiana instead of Austrians is once more thfeatened with investment. Just as the Russians, after surround ing Przemysl and starving out its Austrian garrison, forced the sur render of the fortress on March 22, so Austro- -Germain troops. which have driven a wedge through central GaHcia, are endeavoring to serve their enemy.
 According to Vienna reports prog ress is being made in both directions PrzenysI will either be isolated from Russian troops which fell back to the treat. This situation in Galfcia. is nm tance at the present time and even the British press comedies that the position of Przenys1 is serious. It is described as the key to the whole Russian position in Galicia and its fall will mean that the railroad run ming eastward to Lemberg, the main artery of the Russian supplies in this region will fall into Austrian hands
 Reports that this railroad line al ready had been severed are without confirmation today.
 x Fighting along the Austro-Ita1iar frontier still is in the deve1oprnenl stage. There is virtuaI1ys no change on the western battle front and the British and the French admit that the Turks are so strongly entrenched or the GalIipolf peninsula that only siege warfare can be Wageda there.
