Though every effort has been made to have the present administration recognize union labor, the Stratford avenue bridge promises to become a bor, according to members of the Bridgeport Building Trades council.
 With nearly all the piers raised above the waterline, with the excep- ton of a few 'sandhogs,' as com pressed air workers are known, not 8 union tradesman has been employed in the work of carpentry, caulking masonry, steamfitting, hoisting or iron working, labor leaders declare. The reason ascribed for the introduction of union "sandhogs'' is the fact that that there is none not affiliated with unions.
 Members of the Building Trades council assert that Ho1brook, Cabot & Rollins, officials here, issue the gene1 al challenge: If you can force us to unionize the Stratford avenue bridge work, all right They also take ref uge, it is asserted, in a technical Quib- ble that the "Holbrook'' division of the contracting firm of New York city, where strictly union men are em- pIoyed, is willing to employ union men here but that the Rollins di- vision, which is of Boston, superin- tending the work here, refuse to do SO.

 Secretary Baker conferred with given out by Mexican commanders at! state department. Later Secretary secretary and afterward MT. Baker hastened to the capitol for confer ences with the Congressional military committee chairmen. No explanation for these conferences were given. It was learned, however that telegraph wires were hot with inquiries sent to various governors seeking reports of the number of national guardsmen had been secured and were available for immediate service. Officials said President Wilson would await a defi-I mite report from General Pershing on what has happened It was not ez-4 pected until late today.
 At the White House it was said the Presidents policy was unchanged, for the present at least and that MT. Will son had no intention of going before Congress innme ediately.
 Secretary Baker said no marching orders had gone to national guard units. Nothing could be done, he de- cIared, until a report from American had been received. Other of ficials took theA same view. They would not discuss the possibilities on the basis of incomplete and conflict ing Mexican advices.

COMMON PLEAS
 COURT REvERSES
 BENT'S DECISION
Mohican Go. Given Posses sion of Valued Main Street
 Store Property.

Possession of the valuable store property in the lower floor of the Newfeld building, Main and Golden Hill streets, was granted to the Mohi- can Co. today by a decision of Judge Scott of the common pleas court. The court set aside the verdict of a jury in Justice Bent's court where judg- ment was given in favor of Joseph Lesser of New Haven,s who has pos session of the store at present. It is probable that Attorney J. B. Klein, counsel for Lesser, will take the case to the supreme court on an appeal.
 The MoEican Co. claimed Lesser s lease expired January 1 last and that he was ordered to vacate then but re- fused. Lesser's version was that his old lease expired January 1, but he obtained a verbal lease for one year more at an annual rental Of $3,0OO. He said he tendered $25O to the Mohiean Co. for the January rental but it was

Washington, June 22-A resolution authorizing the President to draft national guardsmen willing to take the federal oath immediately into the reg u1arly> army, under the terms of the new army bill was submitted by Secretary Baker to Chairman Hay, of the House military committee. MT. Hay said he would call it up and press for action.
 If possible, Mr. Hay said, he would obtain consideration of the measure Ky unanimous consent but he was pre- pared to ask for a special rule if necessary. The resolution differs slightly from the provision of the measure originally prepared for bring ing the national guard into federal service in that it would provide for service ''during the period of the emer- gancy'' instead of ''the, period of the war;
 Members of the active guard of the, reserves in all states, territories and the District of Columbia, who take the new oath would be subject to draft under the resolution. The President would be authorized to combine var ious incomplete units in or to bring them up to war strength and to ap- point officers for them.
