Fear Is. Felt That Workers
May Take Advantage of
Big War Orders.

American Federation Expected to Or
sanize Unskilled Girls Called to
Work on Munitions.

Washington officials are wondering
whether organized labor expects to take
advantage Of the abnormal conditions in
factories producing munitions of war for
the allies to add largely to its ranks and
TO exact better working conditions and
higher pay from manufacturers who can
| not afford. because of large contracts for
war munitions to have any of their
plants tied up.
In number of big centers of munitions
industries. the unusual demands for I'M
skilled labor have been filled by the en-
ployment of girls and women. The
American Federation of Labor is watch
ing these conditions, 1t is said, and plan
ming to organize these girls and women
General Walk-out Threatened.
National officers yesterday took q hand
in the situation at Bridgeport, Conn.,.
where about 400 millwrights and machin-
lists employed In the construction of a
new plant for the Remington Union Me-
tallic Cartridge Company. have walked
out and where a general walkout Of all
organized men employed in the greatest
munitions center in the world is threat
ened unless terms are reached before to-
night.
The quarrel is not between labor and
employer. primarily, but between the car
penters and machinists over a jurisdic-
tional question involving the organization
to which the millwrights should belong.
The Remington people have made the
charge that German money and influence
is behind the trouble and that the labor
people are being used as catspaws to
pull chestnuts for quarters which want to
tie up the manufacture Of munitions for
the Entente allies.
While officials of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor scoffed at the charge
yesterday, they admitted that a juris-
dictional fight between two organi-
cations should not be permitted to
throw thousands of men out of en-
ployment President Williams. Of the
building trades council, and represen-
tative of the machinists' organization,
left for Bridgeport in an effort to stop
the trouble.
The machinists threaten to call out
all machinists and toolmakers not only
in the Bridgeport district, where there
are thirtytwo factories working on
munitions, but in other localities. 1t
is admitted that the fight might be
carried to such extremes as danger
ously to obstruct the shipment of
arms to the allies. This, 1t Is claim
ed, is the intent of influences directly
responsible for the present trouble.
Labor leaders are watching care
fully the progress of Representative
Frank Buchanan, former Representa-
tive Fowler. both of Illinois. and other
so-called peace advocates" who I'M
der the name of the Labor Peace
Council. are conducting a propaganda
against the manufacture of munitions
of war.

| May Need Teams Saturday.
Activity displayed by the towns

against dirt and the germs it har-
bors has been SO extensive during the
past few days that the two teams
! furnished by the selectmen to cart
the rubbish to the dumping grounds
were unable to finish up the east
side of the town yesterday and to-
day it looked as if they will have to
be pressed into service again tomor-
row. IT, s'& ~
The teams we're to be used but two
| days. Several loads of rubbish were
carted away yesterday, but the teams
had to return to the east side this
mornlngsto finish up two or the
streets. Consequently they were de-
layed in making a start west OF the
railroad crossing and so many par
rels, boxes and other receptacles con-
tanning the rubbish collected decor
ated the curbs that it was thought it
would be necessary to keep the carts
in service tomorrow, when the cam
paign. for cleaning up, painting up

FUNDS LACKING TO AID.
UNEMPLOYED GIRLS
Vacation War Relief Committee oi
New York Forced to Close One
of Its Work Rooms.

New York, May THE vacation
war relief committee, organized last
fall to aid working girls out of em-
ployment, finds itself. II was an
nounced today in serious straits finan-
cially at a time when its greatest
effort is demanded. Instead of being
able to provide work for hundreds OF
young women who. II is believed, viii,
he thrown out of work during- the
summer, the committee has been
obliged, owing to lack OF funds tol
close one of the work rooms wherel
girls wure given temporary employ
nent during the winter, and others
may be closed for the same reason.
The clothing made at these work.
rooms is used In relief work abroad,
and Is not placed on the market in
competition with manufacturers. Res
Gently the young women have made
more clothing than there is demand
Tor, and great quantities Of the cloth
ing are accommodating.
Miss Maud Wetmore, chairman %
the committee, said today that indij
cations were already manifest that the
number Of unemployed girls would ID
greatly increased during the SUMNER

NIIQUELON ARCHIPELAGO
May Be Annexed to Newfoundland
at Close of War.


st. Johns, NJ F., May THE pos
sibility that the Miquelon archipelago,
the last north American possession of
France, may be annexed to New
foundland at the. close of the Euro
pear war is being given serious con-
sideration in this colony. The little
islands of st. Pierre, Miquelon and
Langlade, a short distance off the
south coast of Newfoundland, have
forced for two centuries the advance
base for the French codfishery on the
grand banks. In recent years the
prosperity of the tiny colony has
steadily diminished and all POSSIBLE
ity Of industrial progress for some
time to come was destroyed when the
French government, in February last,
summoned all the able-bodied men In
the islands to the colors.
The town of ST. Pierre, where most
of the colonists live, is now inhabited
only by aged men, women and chill
dren. 1t is considered probable that
such of the conscripts as survive the
war will be reluctant to return to a
struggling existence in the colony and
will seek wider opportunities in
France since bait fishing by the
French has been largely supplanted
by steam trawlers, the usefulness Of
the fisheries outpost has become
slight. Tt is the opinion Of many New
fcundlanders, therefore, that France
will find 1t to her advantage to turn
the islands over to Newfoundland, in
return for fishing facilities in these
waters. ..

TO SHARE CAMPBELL ESTATE.
Jury Decides Mrs. Burkham Is
Daughter of Millionaire.

St Louis, Mo. May IA unani-
nous verdict in favor of the defend
ants in tthe Campbell will case was
returned by the jury in the circuit
court here last night. The verdict de-
ciares Lois Campbell, now Mrs. Elzey
Burkham, to be the daughter of
James Campbell and. therefore, en-
titled to half of his $16,000,000 estate,
willed her by Campbell.
Upon application of lawyers for the
defense, Circuit Judge Kinsey, imme-
dlately after the verdict was returned,
dismissed the entire case, thereby de-
nying the contestants the right to a
trial upon their allegations that
Campbell was of unsound mind and
that he was unduly influenced in MAX
ing the will by members of the church
to which the property eventually
would go after the death of his wife
and daughter. The contestants have
four days in which to apply for re-
hearing.
