STRIKE AT ARMS PLANT STILL ON AND MAY EXTEND
Ironworkers and Carpent- ers' Differences May
 Involve Others.

The Remington-U. M. c. Company strike which yesterday called out 25o structural iron workers is today tenn porarily at a standstil1 the men are still out, Questions of Jurisdiction be- tween the allied metal trades and the carpenters are at a deadlock. More international heads of unions are hur- rying to Bridgeport in an effort to adjust the matters and a strike of all the structural tronworkers employed by the Pardy Construction Company south of Boston avenue has been call ed for tonight by J. A. Johnston, 1st vice presi dent of the Structural Iron Workers of AmericaS unless adjusted by Friday night.
 Accord ding to prominent labor heads now in this city including J. J. Kep- pier, International Vice President of the international Association of Ma chinists and J. A. Johnston. first vice presid dent of the Structural Iron work CTS of America, matters would have adjusted themselves had not either the Ren1ngton-U. M. C. or. the Stew art Construction Company heads at tempted to force the nnf1lwrights into the carpenters union. As neither company will acknowledge responsi- bility for the act the matter is dead locked. The advice of Samuel J. Gompers, head of the American Fed eration of Labor is reported to have
 been sought by the Arms Company today and it is possible that the head of the Federation will come to this city in person in an effort to settle the
 controversy
 The attitude of the Stewart Com struction Company as expressed to-
 day by General Manager George D.
 Greist is that his company is not re-
 sponsible and as the buildings are partly completed the work ofeinstal1- i ing machinery and furnishing muni- tions will not be seriously handicap
 ped for some time to come.

Prosperity of City Reflected In Decrease in Calls
 For Charities.

It is likely that the Charities De- pertinent will have a new emergency ambulance in use on the city streets before the end of August. Following meeting of the board yesterday when it was practically decided that 2. new car of the Cadillac, Rec or Buick type could be purchased for the amount of money to be spent on re- pairs to the old car. A committee was appointed to investigate the merits of lighter cars, visit other cit ies and ascertain the type of body in use, and to get prices. The facts will be reported to the board at a special meeting to be called by the president for that purpose.
 A reflection of the increased baasi- ness in Bridgeport is shown in a re- port made to the charities board yes terday showing that but $750 will be needed for rents this month. This Is decrease of about $25o from the previous mouth and is looked upon as an indication that able bodied males are being employed to a greater ex- tent than before.

SUPREME COURT MAY PASS UPON KENNEDY ESTATE Nephews of Late New York Policeman Fight For
 His Property. SAY WIDOW SHOULD HAVE LIFE USE ONLY Hearing Will Take Place In Stfatford Probate Court
 On Monday.
Especial to The Farner.)

Stratford, July 1S.-Nieces and nephews of Patrick Kennedy, retired member of the famous Broadway traffic squad in New York, who died tation of his will made by attorney for his wife, to whom he left one third of his estate. A hearing will be held before Judge Charles Peck July 1s, at which the contestants will appear
 Judge Peck is expected to make a ruling on the meaning of the disputed clause in the testament and it is like ly the contest will be carried to a, higher court.
 Kennedy whose history in this neighborhood is very interesting, left which he bequeathed to Mrs. Kathe- rine Mason. To each of his six nieces and nephews, he left $2,500- The nieces and nephews question the interpretation of the will that makes it read that the $14, 900 is left to Mrs. Mason as hers absolutely. They as- sert the will meant it to be hers for life use only and then to revert to them.
 Both Kennedy and Mrs. Mason had been married before their union in Stratford. John, a son by Kenne edy' g first marriage, suffered mental. af- fiction November, 1912,s at their home on Ferry boulevard, and going sud- denly insane, attacked his father shooting him in one of his legs with a revolver and terrorizing the neigh borhood. Allan Judson, formerly con stable in, Stratford, was called and sin gIe-handed, he overcame young Ken nedy while the latter menaced him, carrying revolver in each hand. Young Kennedy is now in the state hospital at Middfetown.
 l. Mrs Mason, who was Q trained nurse at the time of the shooting, was called to attend the elder Kennedy Her devotion to his interests and suc- cess in helping him back to health caused a case of mutual love and they married.
 Kennedy died last autumn. A clause in his win Is 50 worded that there fE doubt as to whether he gave the one l third bequest to Mrs. Mason for life use or for complete control and in the hope of obtaining 1t at the death of Mrs. Mason, heirs in New York are putting the first interpretation on the clause A speedy settlement of the difficulty could not be arrived at be- cause the statute Is not clear where fl 1 refers to such cases, and Judge Pecl will preside at the hearing next Mon. day.
 Mrs. Mason formerly lived at 557 Arctic street. She Is now living in the homestead on Ferry boulevard.
