CONDITIONS WILL
 ADJUST THEMSELVES HERE
President Fred of Board of Trade Thinks Boom in Bridgeport Has Solidarity And Will Be Greatest Ad vance in History of New England Cities.

ditions here will adjust themselves quickly: We are doing much build ing, there will be a large increase In the erection of dwellings, and the Ammunition companies are making preparation to take care of every worker that they will employ!
 When seeking property here the first question propounded by those in charge of the works was housing conditions.' They were then pre- pared to care for only 5000 workers. Conditions since have made it inper- ative to care for double that num- Der and I believe that they will yet have to house a minimum of 24,ooO people. Plans are now under way to build a model city, two houses to be built in units with brick separating walls and 5o-foot spaces between. These will likely extend in large area about the plant so that the em- distance of their employment
 The rapidity with which: houses have been taken up since the advent of the Remington plant is disclosed by the fact that in 1914 a canvass by the board of trade showed 527 houses untenanted or rentable here. Yhese were of the two, four and 6 family type. Today there Is not a rent.
 On the subject of strikes and their effect upon new industries MT. Enos refused to make statements for pulp hcation, but pointed to the fact that many representative men in Bridge port are of the opinion that they all will soon be settled anaicably, and that owing to the general tendency to gain better conditions throughout the country, little serious effect will be felt in Bridgeport. The advertising Bridgeport has procured throughout the United States through it's war in+ dustry boom will have tendency to attract owners from all sections of the United States.

DEARTH OF NAVAL
 MILITIA OFFICERS
 IN NUTMEG STATE
Many Good Openings in Connecticut for Men With
 Proper Training.

There is a dearth of naval militia officers in Connecticut Openings in Bridgeport as well as other cities in the state are now opportune for men with scientific school training, with bright prospects for their future
 It became known today that in Bridgeport there is an opening for two ensigrs, ranking with line officers in the United States navy. In Norwalk there are similar vacancies and like- wise in New Haven and Hartford. The post of ordnance officer in the naval militia is also val cant.
 These offices may be filled from out side the ranks of the militia by com petitives examinations, which consist of two series, first, former connections. school education, etc; second, knowl- edge of naval technique
 Lieutenant Albert J. Merritt, head of the third division, naval militia, in this city, said in spea king of the, sub ject today: There are better oppor- t1nties for officers and men in the na- val militia now than ever before The government is opening up connections with it's own naval service which places men in the same rank with those enlisted. the war ships and cruis- CTS are open to summer service, cruises and practice, and the time may come when officers trained in the militia will naval serviee.''

That the growth of Bridgeport, which has been tremendous in the last few months is stable and not by any means lacking in solidarity as has been Said by many, is the opinion of Fred Fines, president of the board of trade.

Enos, "and Building operations did not proceed with that ceIerity that would have cared for the great in du3 ef workers that now seek homes, deep insight into the character of the industries here will show at a glance that even should the Euro pean war end abruptly there is no possibility of the great munition plants being closed down, even tenn perarily.e

It Is not unlikely that in the tefa1natfoFa OF the present war, the United States will be the first to prepare against attack owing to existing conditions in Mexico and elsewh ere. Should orders for prep aration not Ibe forthcoming in Bridge port, the influence of those now con- trolling the Remington companies would probably be such that their recommendations to other manufac- turers would foe at once acted upon.

Congress only can deal with the sub

A masculine and energetic man is
Arthur f. Holder. the legislative spe-
ciaiist of the American Federation of
Labor. All of the senators and repre-
sentatives in Washington know him.
He lives and works under the caves
troughs of the Capitol. Furthermore,
he travels the country and lectures to
workingmen. Most of the time his
voice is husky from the straining of his
vocal cords in halls, out-of-doors and
in corridors. But he can also whisper
conf1dentially.
Mr.. Holder by trade is a machinist
He has worked in eighteen states and
twenty-five cities. Short. compact and
elocutionary, he is built for war and
oratory. And so, before he began lob
bying for the Federation of Labor, he
moved rather freely from one boss and
dispute to and into the thick of an
other. When Holder was hard
pressed" man told me at haadquar-
TOYS. "iikelv not. he'd put his fist
into his adversary's mouth" Thus
Holder kept in motion. Now, how

Increased cost of production means in
creasing the cost to the consumer of
what he needs-woolen clothing, cot
ton clothing and SO on.
THE thing we have to guard against
is persistent, determined, unfair compe-
ttion in it's most virulent form under
the guise of dumping. Foreign makers
of dyes will sell their product here at
prices below the cost of production.
They will keep at it. too. until our own
dyemakers are ousted from the home
market, Whereupon prices. as / have
pointed out, will be advanced enough
so that in the end the foreigner will
have gained all that ne lost and more,
too. In short. the cost of the war
against American dye manufacturers is
to come out of the pockets of the Ameri
can consumers.
How is the government to know
when an article is being dumped on our
market? The fact is easily ascertained.
What is the article being sold for in
the United States? At what price is it
being disposed of in the country where
it is made? Answers to these questions
would give the national government all
the knowledge it would need. The
methods by which dumping can be pre-
vented constitute legislative question.

although normally the state is repub-

while electing a republican Legislature,
it reelected him in 1906.
In the meantime Gov. Chamberlain
had led a successful fight for direct
primary legislation. In this legislation
was a provision. somewhat in advance
of direct primary legislation in other
states, under which at the direct pri-
mary the people had a chance to ex-
press their choice for United States

dating the primary choice, 1t ratined
the expressed choice of the people and

nominated him and by direct election
of the people he was elected to succeed
himself for another six years.
As governor, Senator Chamberlain
had an interesting career and one that
fitted him for the delicate task he has
before him of getting a Senate. not yet
convinced, to pass the Presidents mill
tary program. A leader in the demand
that legislation from a legislature of
opposite political faith. Here it was
that he learned much about the human
equation. And he got the legislation.
Included in 1t was an anti-pass law,
law creating a railroad commission and
a law modifying the fellow-serVant
rule applied to railroads. All of
these were achievements. But the real
test. the hard fight, came when the
legislature attempted to defeat the pos
sibility of referendum-proyided for
in the Oregon organic law-on certain
bills 1t is provided that emergency
laws affecting the public peace, health
and safety. are not subject to referen-
dunn. Taking advantage of this, the
legislature began to affix emergency
clauses to appropriation bills and other
measures of ordinary legislation.
After having carefully sized up the
situation and learned that the majority
was not sufficient to pass anything over
his veto, Gov. Chamberlain showed his
