Will Meet Federal Con- ciliator This Evening -Supt. Pinney of Arms Company Says He Has Nothing to Discuss With U. S. Agent.

"There isn't five minutes work for him here and no req son why he should call here at all," said Supt. Pinney of the Remington Arms Co. this morning, when asked regard ing the visit of Federal labor coneiliator to this city. It is expected that the department of labor will have a represen- tative of the government in this city tonight to confer with the bayopet straighteners who sometime ago went on strike at the plant of the Remington Arms Co.,, because of an alleged cut in wages.
 Samuel Lavtt business agent of the Machinists union said this morning that the entire body of men who went on strike would be present to state their side of the affair to the repre- sentative or the government. The conciliator was in this city Friday and Saturday of last week but was forced to return to Washington until today.
 In regard to the bayonet straighten- CTS who are on strike at the plant Pin- ney said that the situation had been cleared up and that the jobs were go- ing much better at the present tifns than at any period previous to the former employees going on strike.
 According to Lavit who recently visited the department of labor at Washington the government is out of patience with the labor situation in this city and will insist that matters be so arranged as not to interfere with the production of war natert- als.
 It is understood that the conciliator comes to this city instructed to make it clear to both the manufacturers and the unions that they must be fair with each other and that the govern ment will not tolerate any arbitrary methods on the part of either labor or employers.
 LAvit also states that several other labor matters will be taken up by the governments representative. during his stay in Bridgeport,

REPORTS BUSINESS GOOD
IN THE NINTH DISTRICT
Federal Reserve Agent Discusses
Conditions in His Monthly
RepoFt,

The monthly report of crop and
business conditions in the Ninth fed
eraI reserve district, by John Fl. Rich,
chairman and federal reserve agent,
follows in part:
Business in the Ninth federal re-
serve district is good. There were
no developments during September
to indicate that II will not continue
I'm satisfactory volume for some
months to come. The final return on
the 1917 crop will probably be better
than the estimates of thirty days
ago, and It is already clear that with
a crop in the eastern half of the dis
trict. which is unusual from the
standpoints of yield and money
value, the prosperity will con-
tinue, especially when the same ex-
tremely favorable prices cover the
whole range of marketable farm
products, from the western end of
the district as we'll, which although
IL did not harvest the same crop, has
still a considerable amount of grain
and livestock.
During the early part of the
month, the principal mills were han
dicapped by slack deliveries, and
were not able to get sufficient sup
plies of new wheat. The milling sit
uatiOn is somewhat improved now.
Wholesale houses make very faV-
orable reports as to both sales and
collections. Even lines that are ordln-
arily rather quiet at this season OF
the year, show satisfactory activity,
and orders are in good volume.
1.-The chief interest at this date
centers upon the second Liberty
Loan of 1917. The Ninth federal re-
serve district is called upon for a
minimum allotment of $l05,0OO,OOO.
and it is expected to raise $175,0O0,-
600. The sums seem great, but rep
resent in fact only about By per
cent Of the total amount that must
be raised upon the second loan. The
apportionment to the states Of the
Ninth district is upon the general
basis of their banking resources,
and the investing ability of the peo-
pie has been taken into considera-
ton"

OF THE ALLIES
PLAINLY SHOWN
Secretary Bakers Weekly
Summary Discusses
Recent Victories
GERMAN BASES
ARE THREATENED
Belgian Coast Will Become
"Untenable To The
Enemy"
(Bv Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 8.-Decisive
ascendancy for the Allies in the SUI
preme test of battle strength now
taking place on the bloody fields Of
Flanders is claimed by Secretary
Baker in the weekly review of waT
operations issued last night by the
war department.
While it may be premature to as
sert that the British war machine
has forced a decision over the Ger
mans. Mr.. Baker says, the victories
of the last fortnight, threatening the
German submarine bases on the Bel
gian coast, are conclusive Indications
of the Allies superiority. With fav-
orable weather he thinks, these vic
tories will be repeated and extended.
The review, which is for the week
ended Saturday night. makes no
reference to the American forces in
France or to the great preparations
for war going forward at home.
All Eyes On Flanders.
THE attention of the world, 1t
says, lis focused on the Titanic
struggle now going on in Flanders.
The battle raging there is proving an
engagement of wholly Unprecedented
scope and potentialities.
AT the beginning Of the week,
owing to bad weather, the Germans
were able to launch counter-attacks
against the positions recently gained
by the British. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Germans made use of
smoke screens, liquid fire, and
brought into action an imposing ar
ray of artillery in their attack
against the advanced British lines
between the tower hamlets and
Polygon wood, as we'll as along the
Menin road, their eHorts proved
futile.
1T is significant, on the other
hand, that while the British were
sustaining the shock of German as
saults successfully, they were able
to bring up sufficient fresh troops in
order to launch another offensive
action on an even larger scale than
the preceding one, in the face Of the
enemy's onslaught.
Sweeping Ahead.
Slowly, but therefore the more
irresistibly, the Allied drive at the
heart of the German line in the west
is sweeping onward.
The wisdom of the British in
maintaining a great density Of front
would appear justified by the re-
suits achieved during the last week.
THE defeats inflicted on the Ger
mans the last fortnight are indica-
tions Of Allied superiority. 1t may
be premature to assert the British
have forced a decision, but it may be
stated with emphasis that in no en-
gagement hitherto has such vigor
and concerted speed been displayed.
The full success of these opera
lions means that the Belgian coast.
with its numerous submarine bases,
will become untenable to the enemy.
