SULZER ASKS FOR
 MORE ROAD MONEY
 FROM U. s. SENATE

WASHINGTON. June 6.-Delegate Charles A. Sulzer is now endeavor- ing to get the Senate to increase the appropriation for Alaska roads. The Army bill passed the House approp- riating slOO,0O0 for that purpose. No attempt was made in the House to secure more money than that which had been recommended by the War Department. because it was feared that a point of order would be raised and force the item out of the bill entirely.
 The War Department is now con yinced that there should be more money allowed for road building in Alaska. and 1t is cooperating with Delegate Sulzer in an effort to con. vince the Senate that more should be allowed.

SEARCHING FOR BASE.

0xl<AAhOAAAANo SAS DAAAA~'
 Washington, June 6.--Thc Navy is using every possible means to determine whether the German sub- marines have floating base of sup plies. .-
 The progress southward of the raiders from the war trade trans port routes might mean that they are moving to a previously fixed base, where they hope to get sup plies. It is suggested that possibly a steamship out of some Mexican port flying the American flag, may be the base.
 Another possibility is that the raiders may be using a commercial submarine such at the Deutschland, loaded with extra fuel and ex- plosives, to act as base of supplies.
 Many of the raiders victims re- ported that one submarine did the attacking, while another Lay of a safe distance to render whatever as- sistance that might be needed.

With the American Army in France, Tuesday, Aug. 27-(By the Associated Press) - Gen. Pershing has issued the fol- lowing order:
 Tt fills me with pride to record in general orders a tri- bute to the service achieve ments of the First and Third corps, comprising the First, Second. Third, Fourth, 26th. 29th. 32nd and 42nd divisions of the American expeditionary forces.
 You came to the battlefield at a crucial hour for the Allied cause. For almost four years the most formida- ble army the world has yet seen had pressed it's invasion of France and stood threatening it's capital. At no time has that army been more pow erfuI and menacing than when, on July 15, it struck again to destroy in one great battle the brave men op- posed to it and to enforce it's brutal will upon the world and civilization
 Three days later, in conjunction with our Allies you counter attacked. The Allied armies gained a brilliant victory that marks the turning point of the war. You did more than to give the Allies the support to which, as a nation, our faith was pledged You proved that our altruism, our

.LABORERS REFUSE
 TO WORK FOR SIX DOLLARS A DAY
Prosperity Too Much for Men Who Were Glad of
 $50 a Short Time Ago.

Six dollars day, 75 cents an hour, no longer is a real attraction for the common laborer of Bridgeport if he doesn't happen to be in the mood for work A local builder had this fact impressed upon him a few days ago.
 The builder is erecting a cottage on Madison road, on a contract. It was ready for plastering last week. The masons were ready, but helpers could not be found. The builder offered the ruling s4.50 a day, then 8, then s6, but not a laborer would go to work. The masons finally had to do all the mixing and carrying of the mortar themselves and the walls were plas- tered without the aid of the class of labor that, not so very long ago, was glad to get S1.50 for 10 hours work.
 Laborers are scarce in Bridgeport now One contracting firm which, three years ago, regularly employed 150 of this class, now has only F it can depend upon. The high wages seem to have even a greater effect than the demand for men. In spite of the high cost of living nowadays the laboTer is earning SD much money that he feels rich beyond his former fondest dreams when he gets his pay for three or four days and, not think ing of the future or the coming in dustrial stagnation after the war, simply refuses any kind of employ ment while that money lasts.
