but she escaped through the mist over
the mine field.
Enemy mine sweepers were sight
ed shortly after the sighting of the
destroyer and a heavy fire was opened
on them. At least two of the mine

Allow Union
Men To Work
Open Shops

Danbury, Aug. 1S.-One of the most
interesting developments in the hat
industry in this country in a long
time, SO far as the hatters' unions are
concerned, developed today when it
was officially announced that members
of the United Hatters of North Amer
lea would be permitted to seek en-
ployment in the factories of D. e.
Loewe & Co, in this city; the Crofut
& Knapp Hat Co., of South Norwalk;
the Walkin Hat c., Peekskill, N. Y;
Knox Hat Co., Brooklyn; Schoble &
Co., Guyer Hat Co. and Roelofs & Co.,
Philadelpia.
All these concerns are operating
open shops, but heretofore union men
nave not been permitted by the union
to take employment with any of them.
1t was the withdrawal of the union
members employed there from the
factory OF D. E. Loewe & Co., in this
city 16 years ago and the subsequent
boycott declared against the concern
that led to the famous suit of Loewe
& Co. against the matters, recently
settled after years of litigation.

he saw Champine with a pocketbook in
his hands looking through it. The de-
PENDANT at the time was in the dress
ing room used by seven or eight other
employees and was standing four feet
from the clothing of DeMarca, from
whom the purse was stolen.
When a pocketbook belonging to
the defendant was shown, the witness
denied it was the purse he, saw
Champine handling. William A.
cThoden. a special policeman at the
Arms plant, testified that Champine
offered to make good the SIS If the
charge would be dropped. A new wit
ness Joseph Jefferson, swore that the
defendant, when being held in the
Arms detention room. tried to get
Jefferson to aid him in having the
charge dropped. Champine offered
to pay Jefferson SIS for his services.
Reich wanted the court to dismiss
the case. The request was denied
and fChampine then took the stand
He denied that he stole the purse or
ever saw it,
1t was then that Swain asked the
defendant If he had not offered the
stolen purse to the lawyer after the
close of the court session and his ac-

ca replied Swain.
Retch then arose and stated he
thought = could explain the matter
to tho and proceeded to relate
how t. nrse which belonged to the
defendant was lying on the court ia
BILE and Reich asked for it.
Swain Interrupted and inquired Of
Reich:
Are you testifying? If so I claim
the right to srtroduce evidence in re-
buttaI."
Reich then stated if it had not been
for the publication of The Farmer
story in connection with the case
neither the defendant nor he would
be in court again. The court, how
ever shut Reich off by denying know
ledge of what the lawyer was talking
about
Judge Bartlett then said, 1T find the
accused guilty" Reich then started
to reargue the case when the court in
iprLHeC the faWyor' ne naQ alfoddy
found the defendant guilty.
"FIe doesn't contradict thes tate
ment Of the man who testi1es the de-
PENDANT wanted him to go and tx the
case" the court stated in giving rea-
sons why he was convinced Of the
prisoners guilt.
Swain then told the court Of Cham
pines record He had been arrested
and fined SIS for theft and later ar
rested for stealing box of candy.
The latter charge, was dropped when
the prisoner made restitution. The
court imposed suspended Jail SEN
tence of two months on Champine and
fined him $50 and court costs. No

Housing Experts Here
Confer on Solution of
Problems Of, Bridgeport

Wallace j. Benedict of the Ameri-
can International Corporation came
to Bridgeport early this week to con-
suit with Manager Ham of the
Bridgeport Housing Co. as to Bridge
ports solution of the housing pro-
blem and its plans to attract to the
city the skilled labor which is the
crux Of the matter of continued pros
perity.
Mr.. Benedict is an expert on hous-
ing and welfare work for employees.
He is at present with the New York
Shipbuilding Co., a subsidiary of, the
American International Corporation,
with headquarters in Camden, N. j
Through this concern about 5000
new residents will be brought to that
city during the coming year and the
housing problem looms large on the
horizon.
j Mr. Benedict was shown all the
housing developments by Manager
Ham, and expressed himself as par
ticularly delighted with the group
houses on Connecticut avenue and
the colonial cottages of the aFirfield
development.
Bridgeport should be proud, of
the type of house being erected by
the Bridgeport Housing Co. They
are very attractive homes and the
whole proposition is an exceedingly
interesting study of the problem of
'up+to-date housing" was his state
ment.
~ One of the very interesting pieces
of work done by Mr.. Benedict is the
rehabilitating of the famous Green
witch Village in lower New York. It
was in accordance with his plans and
surveys that this district was once
more restored as a residential district.
Mr.. Ham is in receipt of constant
letters and visits from those who are
struggling with the housing situation
in their own cities. Bridgeport's ex-
periments are proving of national in
terest.
