GOVERNMENT IS
ASKED TO SEND
COUNCIL
~ Z

In an effort to persuade a federal
coneiliator to come to Bridgeport,
Samuel Levitt, business agent of the
machinists union left for Washington.
this morning. According to the state
ment of Levitt the employees of the
Lake Torpedo Boat company were to
have received an increase in wages
under all new government contracts,
that the government was to allow the
company a sufficient amount to per-
nit the increase and that the COM
pany in turn was to see that the de-
mands Of the employees were taken
care of.
Levitt states further that this mat
ter has not been taken care of and that
the object Of his visit to Washington
is to get in touch with the depart
ment of labor to see what may be done
regarding the matter.
In addition to the above matter
Levitt said that the federal concilia-
tor if one is secured will be asked to
make an effort to adjust the differ
ences of the Remington Arms Co. and
the bayonet straighteners who went
on strike some weeks ago because OF
an alleged cut in wages.

STONE ALLOWED
FREEDOM after
INVESTIGATION

Investigation Of charges of misrep-
resentation made against J. q. Stone
of New York, for selling stock dis
closed that there was no evidence
such a misrepresentation had been
made, and the charges against him
were nolIed on recommendation of
the detective bureau today. Stone
was arrested last night on complaint
Of the Bridgeport office of the All
Package Grocery Co., whose stock he
was selling.
1t developed that Stone sold some
of the stock without the consent of
the Bridgeport agency, but it was not
proved he represented himself as an
agent of the company or one of it's Of
ficers which was the reason for his
arrest.
Attorney F. E. Morgan, attorney
for the company said today that he
/ was satisfied to let the entire matter
drop.
Stone sold 400 shares of the com
mon stock of the company for $500
to a woman in this city. The par
value of the stock is said to be SO
and the selling price by the authoriz-
ed agents $3.50 a share, but this is
said to be for the preferred stock. T.
is not known where Stone procured
the stock he sold.

It is believed that the honor con-

to his speech at the congress of Chris

nounced American attempts to bsow

The latest device was disclosed to
the local committee by telegram
received by Mrs. H. W. Fleck last
evening from Robert Scoville, Federal
Food Administrator for Connecticut.
It, follows:
Information received an attempt
is being made by persons posing as
government inspectors to enter houses
and demand q certain percentage of
canned goods to be delivered to the
government. That is of course fraud
and any person attempting this should
be arrested for theft"
This scheme has been tried out in
other cities of the state and the words
of the Food Commissioner should
serve as a warning to put the house,
holders of Bridgeport on their guard.
Owing to the fact that $4,000 OF. the
window cards, which show that the
family displaying one of them has
signed the food pledge have been lost
in transportation, every one who signs
and does not receive card will have
one mailed directly to the home from

signed are not showing their colors
by displaying these cards and it is
urged by the committee that these
cards be placed in the windows in

The navy department received a re-

navy report does not say whether
there was any loss Of life or injury on
the Finland.
This official announcement was au-

+"The navy department has received

to the ship was slight and she re-
turned to port under her own steam.

Exactly what these are cannot even
be hinted at for the present, but the
main fact is that another wall, an
other line Of steel, will face the en-
emy and all Europe and America are
now doing their part to second Italy's
task.
That inevitable confusion which
accompanies the gigantic movement
of troops and material to a stronger
position farther back is fast disap-
pearing. Any report Of a wholesale
stampede reaching the outside world
should be accepted with reserve.
The fact is that there was meth
odical retirement on huge scale, but
the hugeness of such an operation, in
volving the movement of upward of
/ 100000 men and their stores within
three days, was inevitably accompa-
MED by extreme hardships and many
detached Instances of unavoidable con-
fusion. These darker phases natur-
