Check Movements
 of Alien Women

Assistant Superintendent of Police Charles H. suckley stated today that instructions fornthe closer surveillance of German alien women are expected to arrive in Bridgeport from the chief federal officers in Hartford soon.
 The new rules will cover not only the moving of German women from one place to another in this country, but will drawa tighter net about their work and home lives than any regu- lations that have so far been issued
 At the present time a German alien woman cannot leave the city for an- other place without first obtaining a permit from the authorities. Under the new regulations. expected in a few days, they will have to remain indoors during certain hours and will not be allowed to travel in certain zones or even to reside within the limits of war zones which will be drawn and all rules covering them will be rigidly enforced.

 LABOR FOR CITY

The Community Labor Board is op- posed to skilled wprkmen being sent to other cities by local unions, and official action is to be taken to pre- vent it. The matter has been report ed to the Board, which through its chairman, W. P. Kirk, has called the attention to the intention of the unions to Leo A. Korper, state direc- tor of Labor.
 The lack of, housing is being reme- died, according to officials of the board, and should not be used as an excuse for representatives of unions outside to seek cooperation of local union agents to enlarge their staffs of skilled men by taking them from Bridgeport.

COLLECT THRIFT
 STAMPS SUNDAY
 IN ALL CHURCHES

Following. the announcement of the War Eavings committee which was sent to all of the churches, tomorrow will be observed in a great majority of. eh1kches of worship by receiving War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps either in place of the regular collection or along with it. St. oeorgess church on Park avenue or iginAted the plan a week ago and re- celved five times the usual amount of collection. The plan is to let the col: lection in War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps be the nucleus of a permanent church investment, No one peEsoh or body may hold more than gi,000 in War Stamps but the collections will probably be continued on subsequent Sundays until each church holds the required amount. In this way they would become truly the Church Militant and would aid the battle of the nation as well as in the battles of the Lord. Many of the most peominentsclergy in town have endors- ed the plan, including the Rev. w, w. Rose otsthe Unlversahst church, Rev. William Horace Day of the United Church, Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr., of the First Presbyterian church. Rev. Matthew Judd of St. Augustine's church. Rev. stephen F. Chernitzky of St. Stephens R. c. church, and
 many others.
 Any War Savings Stamps bought today in the 1000 to 1" contest may be turned into the churches by theAz purchasers and in many of the church tables for the sale of War Savings Stamps will be placed in the vesttbule.
 This is another Made in Bridge port Idea, which will be taken up eagerly all over the country. It Is because so many of these ideas are put into force in Bridgeport that the campaign for War Savings Stamps has progressed further than in any other big city in the country, based on the amount purchased by each. in- habitant, That amount in Bridgeport ] stands today at over SIC.
