FREED BY COURT

brick in paper and smashed a window
in Parkers Arcade jeyelry store, was
allowed to go free in the criminal su-
perior court this morning. States At

ed the state in the case of George Fa-

FRANK INVENTS
HYDRANT DEVICE
TO THAW PIPES
Revolutionary Method For
Use In Fire Departments
Discovered Here.

Chief Edward Moran of the Hart
ford fire department, visited Bridge
port yesterday to inspect q. device for
thawing out fire hydrants constructed
by a Bridgeport fireman. which may
revoIutionize the pumping systems of
departments throughout the country
Walter F.. Frank, engineer on No.
2 steamer, living at S48 Noble avenue,
is the fireman whose genius has made
the gasoline pumping Engines practi-
cable for use where hydrants are
frozen.
He has devised flexible steel hose
connectien for use with the engine
exhaust which is said by the experts
who have looked at its operation to
far excel the. steam apparatus in the
work of tfawing frozen street hy-
drants.
Because Of the lack of this equip
ment the gasoline pumping engines
have heretofore been of Questionable
use in cold weather. It is said that
New York city had refused to enter
tain their use for this reason and
Hartford was undecided as to their
merits. Having heard of the applica-
ton used in Bridgeport, chiefs from
all sections of New England have
taken notice and are investigating
here.

PROPOSALS TO,

Settlement of Drop Forgers
and Die Workers Trouble
Seems Likely.

The first step looking toward a set
tlement of the strike of the drop
forgers and die sinkers at the Reming-
ton Arms & Ammunition Co. was
taken this afternoon when the strikers
sent messenger to the company Of
f1cials saying that the workmen are
ready to meet the officials for dis
cussion of an adjustment.
Acscording to the strikers. certain
requests will be made of the officials
and if they are granted, the men will
return to work.
A settlement seems not far off be-
cause of the attitude of the pcGsons
at odds. The company's officials

ed at the disposition of the strikers
shown in their statement which was
printed yesterday in The F'armeA The
tone of the statement indicated that
good feeling PREVAILS
Both sides persisted today on their
contention concerning the charges
The strikers again denied that the
company had made an offer to charge
only half the cost of the material to
the men, after it had been spoiled.
On this matter, the following was is
sued from the company Office today:
This offer positively was made, but
the men wokl1dn't wait for the shop
order putting it into effect. The offer
was made the same day the demands
were presented the company by the
men.
1--WE are at loss to understand
why the men walked out so precipi-
lately. We maintain an expensive
Welfare Bureau for-the men and are
doing everything to adjust matters
such as these. Som etimes a foreman
may discharge a man. The workers
nave their grievance committee that
can report to Joseph Page, head of
the Welfare Bureau.
T. He will investigate and then take
up the matter with the officials Of tho
plant. If the foreman was wrong. the
discharged man will be reinstated.
All other grievances may be ad-
1usted this way but the men don't
seem to take advantage of them. Re
garding- the complaint about the con-
dition of the floor, these things are al
ways remedied. You can't prevent
accidents. We have a man who spends
all his time inventing and installing
safety devices to prevent injury to the

UNION MACHINISTS UNSETTLED
AT PROSPECT OF ELIMINATION
OF ONE SHIFT IN ARMS WORKS

Because of the scarcity of machin-
lists and the difficulty in housing some
who may be obtained, the Remington
Arms & Ammunition Co, is dropping
one of its eight hour shifts and by de-
grees. will substitute two II hour
shifts.
The II o'clock to Z o'clock shift is
being cut out, department by depart
ment- AS a result, a slight dispute
between the company and the Machin-
lists union is expected to arise.
The company has posted notice
that time and one-half will be paid af-
ter 48 hours work. This, some of
the machinists say, is not in accord
with the agreement made after the
Remington nachinists' strike. They
say they want time and one-half af-
ter the eight hour day is econclud-
ed.
On the other hand. it has been
brought forward against this; that
some of the men have so much fun
spending their wages Monday that
they don't come to work until half
the. day is over Tuesday. In the
overtime period they can make more

LOSSES BY FIRE
|. WILL RESULT In
STRINGENT RULES
Fearing Confagration,, In
spector to Demand Clean
er Elevator Shafts.

Fire losses in Bridgeport are result
ing in the most stringent regulations
to prevent any misconception of ORR
gins as far as possible. Officials of
state and city fire departments are
alarmed and the most drastic enforce
ment of existing orders will be made.
State Factory Inspector John r.
Doughan arrived in this city today and
Investigations. the nature of which is
not disclosed are being made. 1t is
likely that he will demand elevator
shafts in large buildings be kept
absolutely free from refuse. Small
quantities of paper, rags. and like
waste has recently been discovered in
the elevator pits of several factories
here.
Capt. Thomas j. Broderick, inspector
of combustib1eF, who has made ex-
haustive inquiry into the cause of the
F'arist fre, today said: "Thes cause
still remains a mystery to the steel
company's heads as well as to the fire
department. Tt is not likely that fu-
ture fnvestig cations will throw light
upon the exact cause
