Cigarmakers Institute Cam paign For Bettering Con
 ditions in Industry.

A campaign to better the conditio ons of cigarmakers in this city has been instituted. Ira M. Ornburn, organizer of the Cigarmakers' union, is in Bridgeport, and is preparing to aid the local workers in their movement.
 MT. Ornburn is also the vice presi- dent of the New England Label Con- ference and an organizer of the State Federation of Labor. He said today:
 "The purchaser is the employer of labor and is employing either union or non-union labor. How is it with you?
 ''The retailer is simply the distri- butor and he will handle the goods in which there is the most profit if he can get you to accept them.
 'It is true many of the retailers are our friends and have enough civic pride to do all they can to boom home industry and as a result keep people in this city employed.
 ITO them the cigarmakers of this city express their appreciation and thanks for their loyalty and good will and feel they are entitled to our pat ronage- We have another class of retailers or distributors who at all times are trying to unload non-union produced out of town goods on their customers giving them prominent display in their windows on or in
  tent of recommending them as better than local product.
 This holds good in many lines of business and is especially so in the cigar business. A great portion of the merchants in this city who at all times display these non-union out of town made goods are members of the board of trade, an organization, one of whose chief reasons for being in existence is to build up industries we have at present, and to bring more to this city. The greater part of the dues paid in to this organization by it's membership is used for this pur- pose, so we find this peculiar condi- ton of affairs. Merchants with their right hands are paying to build up business and with their actions which we may call their left hand are tear ing it down. We call upon you, and we expect you will register your dis approval of this way of building up home industry. The cigar busin ess of this city employs only about 150 persons at the present time. If these Boom Bridgeport Products movement in action and not alone in words, there would at least be as many peo- pie, employed here as in our neigh boring city, New Haven, which has more than 1 1000 working at the cigar industry. with a weekly pay roll of about $1s.Ooo.
 ''It would mean that more people would live in this great city and they in turn would cause the employment of other craftsmen of all kinds.
 ''The answer is with the purchaser. Whether you are man or woman in sist on home products and when you find merchants who are displaying out of town goods or recommending them to you, be satisfied he has desire to boom Bridgeport

Reformatory Can Use Literature To
 Educate Inmates

Readers of The Farmer who have books, or magazines with which they feel they can dispense would do well to heed the cali from the Connecticut Reformatory for such literature. Tha following appeal has come. to I'hg Farmer:
 To our friends on the outside:
 The inmates of the. Connecticut Re- formatory spend an hour or two night ly in our library. Some read to pass time away, some read for the enjoy ment 1t affords them, but most of them read for the Knowledge it brings to them. But our greatest trouble is thai there is not sufficient reading mattaI to satisfy the demands. of the inmates Perhaps some of our friends on tho out side have few old books or mag azines that are of no suses to them. and that they can spare. We are sure tha boys in here would welcome them V1th great delight.
 If you have any old books or mas. azines that are of no use to you, please send them to us. Our supREinbeudanf pr. Charles H. Johnson, will be glad to pay the express charges on them q our friends will be kind enough Co send them.

SWITZERLAND IS
 READY TO FIGHT AGAINST INV vADER

Paris, May Switzerland is pre- pared to resist with all the forces at her command any invasion of her ter rftory by troops of the NbelIigerents, ac- cording to an interview with President Camille De Kopft, sent to the Journal by it's Berne correspondent. The Pres ident was asked specifically what would be the action of Switzerland if troops of one of the warning powers should be sent across the Porentruy border. He replied:
 s"The federal council would never tolerate such a proceeding and in ac- cordance with the plans of General Ulrich Willie, the chief of our army would order the ilnmedi- ate mobilization of all our forces which would immediately be sent into ac- ton.
 This Swiss army is in splendid con- dition- It has reached a perfection of training which has been hitherto un- known and has just received a com plete equipment of new heavy artillery which was manufactured in France and Germany by order of the Swiss government"

Ted Gather Back In Minors After Tasting
 Big League Delights

This is the twenty birth day of one Theodore Gather. the for mer outfieIder of the Cardinals and Braves. who now wears the spangIes of the Montreal club of the Interna- tiona1 League. Teddy was an outer gardener with the Braves in the glad year of 1914, when the hegemen of the Miracle Man copped the National League pennant and the worlds cham pionship gonfa1on. One of Gathers pIaynates in Montreal is Herb Nor an, who was also with the 1914 Bos tonians Both Ted and Herb were in the International League before they attained the major league heights, and both had also played in the Tri-State League. Both are na- tives of Pennsylvania. Both were of the Pacific Coast League, and both were transferred to the Royals by the Benga1s. Otherwise-except that both are outfie1ders-they have never had anything in common
 k The passing of Gather and Moran from the Stallings outfield leaves Joe Connolly as the last survivor of the outer gardeners of the 1914 Braves Leslie Mann helped Tinker's Whales to win the Federal League pennant last year and is now with the Cubs. George Whitted went to the Phillies i'll time to get another SuCo O1 WOIlO series coin-the lucky stiff! Josh ,Devore is with the Milwaukee Brew CTS, Less than half of the infielders and pitchers on the Brave pay-rool in 1914 are now absent when the 1916 roll is called, so the wrecking of the old Boston machine has not been con- fined to the outfieId
 Teddy Gather is a native of Ches- ter, Pa, where he was born on May 20, 1889. He first played professional ball with the Lancaster Tri- -Staters in 1910. He made his first Canadian trip in 1911, when he was bought by Toronto The following year the Ma pIe Leafs turned him over to Scranton, and at the close of the season he was sold to the St. Louis Cardinals. At that period of his career Teddy was a pitcher, but while he wasn't any great shakes on the slab he was there with the ash. When Miller Huggins took charge of the Cards in 1913 he decid- ed that his man Teddy belonged in the outfield In July Higgins swapped Gather and Whitted to Boston for Pitcher Perdue.
 Herb Moran has had variegated career since he started playing ball in 1905 with Coudersport, Pa, his home town, going thence to Dubois, in the Interstate League. In 1907 he was sold to Trenton, and the following year he was given a trial by the Ath1etcis, but was returned to Trenton, which club sold him in the fall to the Red Sox Boston released him to Provi- dence, and in 1910 he got another chance in Boston, this time with the Braves. After a month in Boston he was turned over to Kansas City, which sent him to Providence, which turned him over to Rochester. In 1911 Herb stuck with Rochester the entire sea- son. and the next year landed in Brooklyn. Herb remained with the Dodgers until the close of the 1913 season, and started 1914 with the Gin cinnati Reds, but was sold in August to the Braves. Some traveller is Mo ran, and he's only thirty.
