mean excessive cost and is impossi- .ble. At the meeting of the com mittee this morning with the labor leaders, if was pointed out that the company was thriving when it was paying 25 per cent. more than now.
 Following is MT Dodge's statement to The Farmer:
 ssThe statement in this evenings is- sue that the American Graphophone ECo. will make the very unjust and un- reasonable concessions demanded by it's striking embloyes has no founda- ton in fact.
 Tt had already given an eight hour day, a half day on Saturday and price time. It vii continue. to pay the full prevailing priees for labor and will continue to listen to complaints of men on it's payroll
 .sIt will not at any time listen to men who are outsiders; and it will not now, or at any other time, grant the de- manded 20 per cent. increase to all in it's sefvice. This. would mean excess sive wages and an impossible cost of some of it's products. The greater ma jority of the men are satisfied and will ling to return if guaranteed safety. If they do not return their places will be filled and every man and woman, old or new, will be protected at all hazards. You are doing the misled men a great injustice by iencouraginS them to remain out, with possible loss of place; loss of savings and suffering in consequence, of the wives and chill dren.
 Yours, &c..

FAIRFIELD SITE FOR ALMSH0USE NOW PROJECTED Commissioners, Expecting Sale to Arms Co.,, Look
 Over Land. LARGE TRACTS HERE ARE, HELD TOO COSTLY Purchase of Hillside Home is Said To Be Nearing
 Completion.

Members of the. charities board, be- lieving that the sale of Hillside Home, formerly L4akeview Home. and its properties is imminent, have recently inspected properties at Fairfield with a view towards possible purchase.
 The proposal to carry the city's poor beyond the city line is said to have the sanction of city officials, who hold that it will be almost impossible to purchase any quantity of land within the town of Bridgeport at areasonable priee.a
 Though such q procedure will neces- sitate common council action and probably permission from the Fairfield authorities, it is believed that, in the event of the Remin gton Arms 6 Am intuition company taking the present property, such a purchase Of large tracts of land in Fairfield will easily be consummated. It is known that the officials of Fairfield have not hereto fore offered any objections to such in- stitutions being maintained in the un- settled portion of the town adjoining the kBrooklawn district where the Bridgeport Fresh Air home is now maintained by this city,
 A member of the charities board in discussing the affair today said that tt 4s almost Impossible to obtain any large tract of land in this city such as would be necessary for the production V to maintain the home and it's accesso- ries.
 Though. it is conceded that the farm ing operations conducted by the city would not offer any profit unless ths labor of the inmates was utilized, the raising of potatoes, corn, and garden truck is absolutely essential to the maintenance of the home and for this reason tillable land must be had in abundance.
 Such tracts in Bridgeport are now at premium. To maintain home without agricultural operations is not practicable and the commissioners are restrained by law from working the inmates on contract labor except such as might be done for the municipal departments.
 It is the opinion of charity board members that suitable land may be had at a moderate figure inV Fairfield andi in the event of sale of it's present property there is little doubt but that the home will be removed to that town.
 A factor which has recently 1oomed up big in the sale of the Lakeview property is contract signed between the city and the Remington-U. M. C., company when the right of way for a railroad through the eityss property was acquired by the company. One of the clauses in this contract stipulates specifically that in the event of the se'e of any city land adjoining this right of way the. Remington company. shall have first option to buy
