WORKERS WIN
STRIKES AT BRIDGEPORT
Connecticut Employers Are Grant
ing Eight-Hour Day at
Same Pay.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, August 90
Many hundreds of factory workers who
had been on strike recently returned
to their accustomed tasks today, their
differences with employers over hours
and compensation having been adjust
ed In nearly every instance the
workers have entered upon the eight
hour schedule, without reduction in
wages.
The largest delegation of returning
employees was that of upward of 500
girls at the Crown and the George c.
Batcheller Corset Company. Alta meet
ing of employees of the Salts Textile
Company, where 1900 are out and the
plant is closed, for two weeks, an
nouncement was made today that work
for $50 weaverS and slashers can be OBJ
tanned elsewhere. No one signified a
willingness to leave the city. The
strikers are confident of winning
shorter workday and changes in the
shop system.
Remington Strike Again Threatened
A conference will begin today to dis
cuss the question of ordering A gen
eral strike against the Remington Arms
and Ammunition Company because of
alleged discrimination against workers
in one trade and the discharge of four
men who served on shop committee.
The conference will include T. NJ. DAILY,
national president of the metal polish
ers. buffers. platers, brass and silver
workers of North America: w. II.
Johnston. national president of the ma
chinists: John Hines. national president
of the Sheet Metal Workers Union. and
officer, of Othcr unions who have been
active here recently.
While the conference will deal specif
cally with the alleged grievances at
the Remington plant. plans for the
campaig for an eight hour day to be
opened in New Haven this week and
later at Waterbury and Hartford also
will be considered. The alleged griev-
ances at the Remington plant relate
to the polshers. who claim they were
promised an advance in wages. They
formerly received 81 per hundred for
polishing bayonets and gun barrels,
but claim that when the eight-hour
schedule was adopted their wages
dropped to so cents per hundred
Four Men Discharged.
Four men refused to accept the new
scale, and when they protested they were
discharged. The union in appealing for
assistance asked that all the metal
workers in the plant be called out.
The number of plants at which there
are strikes today number thirteen.

Again Is Interned.

Gilbert arrived this morning at the
village of Hospenthal, where he was
interned anew. All the Swiss papers,
the dispatch states, declare that a most
excellent impression has been created
in Switzerland by the return of Gilbert.
DIR. Lardy, the Swiss minister to
France, called on Minister of War Mil
lerand today to present "the thanks of
the Swiss government for the courteous
and chivalrous decision taken by the
French government concerning Second
Lieut. Aviator Gilbert"

Withdrew His Promise,

1t has developed that Gilbert, before
escaping, had written letter to the
Swiss general staff withdrawing his
word of honor that he would make no
attempt to escape. The letter was re-
ceiyed several hours before the attempt
was made. but was left unopened at
army headquarters, and the general
staff maintains that Gilbert had not
been relea sed from his word of honor

Hat To Usher In Summer

Summer is officially here. Monday,
June q, is the date given in the
almanacs for the formal ushering in
Of the season and Abraham Lincoln
Pickett did the usherfng by appearing
in his new summer hat
It consists Of a miniature parasol
painted a bright and shining silver
tone and is mounted on a rigging Of
wire which fits snugly over Abraham
Lincoln's head but allows a free cir
culation Of air through the superstruc-
ture. It is a collapsible affair which
may be folded at night like the tents
Of the Arabs.
A Lincoln has discarded his star hat
with the tiny American flags attached
to il. He says it was made for patriotic
purposes like Flag day and July
Fourth and he only wore il every day
from an excess of patriotism. He says
ii is too warm now to wear this hat.
as the parasOl one gives him so much
more shade and air circulation
Abraham Lincoln Pickett sets the
hat styles for FL Paso, and IL does not
bother him in the least that no one
follows his styles. He has worn more
different shapes Of hats than anyone
in the city. Numbered among his col
lection are work basket hats. hats
made OF tin, pasteboard hats which
look like pancakes. and wooden hats.
A L also wears sandals, sans soX,

suits IN miscarriage Of justice and IN degradation or
the majesty of law. Had the governor of Georgia in
this gone far to pardon Frank, The Herald
would have considered that he had taken too great
liberty, under all the circumstances
But the committing of the sentence asked, and
offered, for the purpose OF gaining time and giving
truth chance to develop out of the tangled situation
Franks last statement spoken in court the day he
sentenced for the last time contains the truth about
the trial, in that part in which he summed up the
various court proceedings jury had passed upon the
case, said he and the trial judge himself expressed
doubt Of Franks guilt; court subsequently had
aHlined the upon its merts-upon the facts and
the evdence-but all reviewing courts had considered
only technical legal process which found to have
been regular.
The law prides itself upon its ancient maxim that
for every wrong there is remedy. The law does not
exist to work injustice. That injustice is sometimes
worked through processes of law is seldom the fault
the law but generally the fault Of the application and
Interpretation of the law by jures, advocates and
judges; sometimes the fault of codes of procedure
which sadly need revision.
It IS at such a time this that many students
of the law almost find themselves desiring that greater
influence might be exerted IN American codes by
the Roman law and the procedure that has grown up
under It IN countries perpetuatng that tradition and
that somewhat less influence might be exerted by the
English law and code. The Herald is aware of the
reverence with which the majority of lawyers regard
the English foundation and the American system based
upon it, that is well enough deserved and
yet that sometimes leads excessive worship that is
almost blind idolatry
