FACTORY COMMITTEE TAKES
 UP CONDITIONS AT A. & B. GO.

up to the rate of 45 cents per hour.
 While the committee, headed by George Bowen, business agent of Eo- cal 30, I. A. of M, was courteously met, the Lake Go. official was unable yesterday to give a decisive answer and the matter has been left as it now stands pending the. elapse of sufficient time. 1ttis expected that the com pany< will accede to the demands, as that company has been considered fair in it's treatment of labor.
 The Loconobile situation remains the same today as it did yesterday as the committee which visited President Samuel Davis, IT,. yesterday, will not return for an answer until Thursday m orning
 It is expected that noon-day meet ings will be held at the approaches to the plant during the interim.
 Expect Quiet Week.
 When asked if any further strikes might be called in this city during the week, officials of the labor union in tinated that beyond the work now be- ing done within the walls of factories in Bridgeport by the shop committees for better organization. little incident of note was 1ikelyfto occur.
 Of course, if discrimination is shown against any of our men. the action is automatic,'' said Bowen, and the men in the shops affected will walk out without a strike order. This we cannot foresee nor prevent and it was such discrimination that caused the trouble at the Grant Manufactur- ing Co and the R. PIX. Pressed Metal Co.'S shops
 Further Explanation of this state nnent showed that nearly every fac tory in this city had been organ;zed to greater or less extent and f1at committees of the machinists were quietly working for better organiza- tion- It is a custom of the organiza- ton that where such committees were arbitrarily discharged by their employers without just cause other than that they were talking f'organiza- ton" other members of the union should at once walk out and strike without vote being taken.

New York, Aug. 10-Considerable mystery surrounds the shipment from England to this country of a large amount of gold, the sum being Vari- ously estimated at $ 5,0oo,ooe to s25,- O00,000. The gold, which probably is in the form of American eagles, is being trans-shipped from Halifax, to steamer, presumably under govern ment convoy, to this city by special train.
 J. sP Morgan & Co. are the con signees but the bankers refuse to give any information regarding the trans action stating that such details ought to come from London, where the ship extra ordinary exchange conditions be- tween that center and this city.
 At the subj treasury it was admitted that a request had been received to take care, of a large amount of gold which was on. the way from Canada but the sum involved was not known. The American Express which will transfer the gold from Halifax to this city. declined to give any particu- lars of the shipment, on the ground that such a course would be unwise at this time.
 Treasure Train Guarded.
 Bangor, Me. Aug. 10.-Guarded by a. score or more heavily armed men a special train of seven steel baggage cars, said to contain a large amount of gold enroute from Halifax for New York, passed through this city today.

Activity of the Machinists' union to obtain an eight hour day and union wages began at the plant of the Amer ican & British Manufacturing Co.,. To- cated at Crescent and Seaview avenues today, where a shop committee, was placed in charge of affairs. g. Throughout the big factory which was once the Sanford hat works, the workers are now discussing plans for securing better conditions aend more pay.
 The American & British Manufac- turing Go. is a constituent of the In teruational Power Go. of New Jersey. There are branches in New York and Providence and besides doing much government work large munitions con- tracts have caused the company to announce the building of another large plant in New Jersey.
 The plant here which is divided in it's work of manufacturing munitions of war employs about 800 men, a4Iarge number of whom are machinists5S Some large projectilese are being turned out for the United States governm ent and in this depa,r trnent the men are work ing an eight-hour-sca1e in accordance with United States requirements. In other sections of the plant where mountain artillery and big guns are being turned out it is said that a ten hour schedule is in erect. It IS -clal1n- ed that in the eight-hour departm ents the full wage of 45 cents is not being paid and this feature is likely to be included in the demands that will soon be made upon President George W. NHoadley.
 Business Agent George J. Bowen, of the Machinists' union, in speaking Of the situation that is likely to arise there, said:
 The, American & British Go. has long been a, sore spot in the breasts of machhnists, for one-half of the fac tory might be working on an eight hour schedule and the other half on longer time. We consider that it has been extremely unfair to it's men in the past. and they are now only seeking what should long since have been granted all the men in the fac tory
 President Hoadley of the Company was in New York city today and not expected here.
