DRAFT WON'T Be

MANUFACTURERS
Offers Chance Now to obi
gate Workmen to Them !
and Prevent Strikes.

The "old men" are coming into
their own after a steady retreat before
the young blood Of the country and
all because of the selection of the ma
tional army which has taken a half
million men between the ages of FL
and 81. The employers are today
lodging as far as possible the em-
ployment Of men of the draft ages
and the result has been that many
men in the forties are now finding
their services acceptable where six
months ago they would have hardly
been given courteous hearing.
The industrial exemption claims
being made in a large number by
Bridgeport manufacturers are re-
garded by them as safety valves that
will hold down further strikes. 1t Is
understood that the employers have
agreed that exemptions procured for
men will obligate the workmen to
them and that further any discharge
will mean the end of the immunity
from military service. This, some
employers have pointed out, will
place them in a position to mark a
light chalk line which they can insist
on employees walking. A move is re-
ported afoot to effect an agreement
between the manufacturers of goods
necessary to the military. establish-
ment, which will make it impossible
for man discharged by one concern
to get place with any other in the
same line. II this scheme is carried
out 1t will add iron to the grip of the
employers on the laboring men, timid
about army service, and depending
on their industrghl occupations to
keep them out of the fighting ranks.

The Congress Street Lunch was the
name of concern under which the
partners first did business in this
city. Later they opened other stores
and recently decided to lease from E..
J. F'reyler the premises at TIA Fair

dining parlor. It was opened at great
expense and furnished in metropol-
itan manner.
Last night a waiter, in the Con-
gress lunch failing to ascertain the
whereabouts of his employers threat
ened to shoot both if he could find

day before both men disappeared,

he would gladly give the money to

missing.
The business dealings of the part
ners are of a nature which probably
will not call for any criminal action
and the matter will be settled in the
civil courts. One of the partners is
reported as being located this after.
noon and he is coming back to this
city in an effort to straighten out the
tangle.
It is estimated that the concern
has debts totalling $4,000 of which
$4,000 is unsecured and 20 attach
