BREAK IN MACHINISTS'
 STRIKE AT BRIDGEPORT

Bridgeport, Conn. Sept 3-Two hundred of the 5000 machinists and toolma1ers on strike here will return to work in five of the smaller sub contract shops tomorrow morning The heads of these plants have agreed to meet the demands of the strikers for minimum wage of so cents and 70 cents an hour for toolmallers and ma ehinists, respectively.
 This decision was reached at a meeting of the strikers under the au- spices of the local branch of the In ternational Association of Machinists today. In accordance with the vote, the union men will not work on any material that is to be delivered to the larger plants here that have not agreed to pay minimum wage for machine workers.
 The men will return to the follow ing shops tomorrow morning: The Precision Gauge and Tool company, F. $. Trumbull Manufacturing com pany, Elliott Manufacturing company. Triangle Tool company, and the Brick son & Johnson Manufacturing com ! pany.
 It was stated by officials of the local union thau other shops have since | conferred with the strike committee and have agreed to pay the minimum wage. The possibility of the men re- turning to these other shops that have l agreed to meet the demands of the ! strikers will be taken up at a meeting of the strikers tomorrow afternoon l William H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Ma chinists and the representative of labor 1 on the national war labor board, met
 here today with members of the strike
 committee. Tine committee reported
 that he had advised that the men re- turn to the shops that have agreed to
 pay the wages trey ask. Following the exodus of the men from the shops last Friday, a meeting was called and it was voted that no men should return to work until the manufacturers had agreed in a body to pay minimum wage.
 1 President Johnston advised that this faction be rescinded, saying that if in dependent agreements were accepted it
 would be a wedge to break the soldar ity of the manufacturers. He also
 said that the men should Zee up to
 committee, unless they wanted mob /! rule.
 Members of the Manufacturers as-
 sociation, which includes all the
 largest plants here, and some of the
 most important war concerns in the country, are still determined that they
 shall not accede to the strikers de
 mands, saying that the case has been
 decided by the national war labor

BRITISH VICTORY ALONG
 THE HlNDENBURG LINE

With the British Army in France Sept Q. { D. m.-(By The Associated Press). The British victory in the rattle of the Drocourt- -Queant lire seems complete. Without having de- iiveTed a single counter attack, and staggering from the blows adminis- tered 10 them yesterday, the Ger morning were in full flight for the eastern side of the Canal du Nord.
 The enemy is trying to save what men and material he can from the wreck in and behind one of the most powerful defense systems ever de- yised. The much -boasted Drocourt- Queant line. or as the Germans call it, and the Germans are hurryiQg eastward. leaving behind only pockets of machine gunners. and even resist ance from these is gradually melting away.
 The fighting this afternoon seems Co be more vigorous along the north crn part of the Hindenburg line than elsewhere The British are sweeping .'ong astride it from the point where lt joined the Drocourt line at Queant Considerable progress is reported and large numbers of Germans have been killed or taken prisoner. Thousands of prisoners are coming into the cages One army had 5000 Germans in it's cages this forenoon. How many machine guns were captured will not be known for many days. but there were thousands.
 The prisoners were of all sorts, in- cluding cavalrymen, who had beer dismounted and fought as infantry The hard pressed German commands CTS took men from anywhere, no mat. fer what thnv Wnra efIDDOSed f0 hf doing. and put them in the line witt rifles and machine guns in an efforf to stem the tide.
 How many dead there are it is i'm possible even to give an estimate. Tht scene of the battle in many place' shows that the Germans suffered ter rible losses. The German formation. which opposed the British have beer literally torn 10 pieces. and the tear. ing still continues along the linden turg line and to the south.
