Bridgeport, Conn, June 26.--All the
mschinists and tool makers in this city,
about 5000 in number, quit work at noon
to-day to attend conference in local
hall TO discuss their plans for enforcing
demands for arrears of increased pay
from May |. They made no announce
ment that they were ON strike, but also
declined to say when or whether they
would return to work soon. Predictions
were made by some of their leaders,
however, that thirty thousand munition
workers here would be idle before the
end of the week.
The manufacturers, basing their stand
on telegram from Secretary of War
Newton ID. Baker, to the machinists
last night, howevep failed to confer
with committees of the men, asserting
that any strike now would not be
against the employers but against the
government.
Representatives of the war labor board
had recommended an Increase in wages
for the men and that they be allowed
increase, but failed to de-
fine the date from which the increase
should be figured. The present con
troversy is over this indefinite date. the

The attack was preceded by thirteen
hour bombardment from the American
artillery.
German prisoners taken pay tribute
to the brilliant dash of the Americans,
declaring the men in the assaulting
party fought like demons. The Germans
were virtually cleared out of the Belleau
wood several days ago, but the discov-
cry was made yesterday that under co =
er of darkness they had planted machine
guns behind huge boulders, in sunken
roadways, in shell holes and in trees in
a narrow area on the edge of the wood.
1t was most difficult to get at them in
these positions, and some fierce hand tc

and worry on your part, / am sending
this brief note to assure you that he is
getting along splendidly at the base hos
pital, where Lieut.. Patton and | visited
him yesterday We were both agreeably
surprised to find him looking hale and
game, as always, to the core.
There is no reason TO think that his re-
covery will be anything other than final
and complete.
The nature of his wound does not per
init the use of his right hand. and not
knowing that the war department would
notify you of his being wounded, he had
made up his mind not TO write until he
could use his hand. We explained mat
ters to him, however. and now, by the
help of the Red Cross and Y. NJ. c. A |
workers he will write to you; at least /
we made him promise as much.
Quite few of the men have been able
10 get away and visit him. Every man
and officer in the company is proud Of
