NATIONAL LABOR
POLICY FOR U. S.
Object OF MEET

Washington, Feb. ga national
labor policy, planned for the duration
of the war and backed, if necessary,
with special legislation, is considered
by the representatives of capital and
of labor who continued today the SER
les of conferences arranged at the re-
quest of the government. The con-
ferees will meet daily and probably for
several weeks.
Secretary Wilson speaking at the
opening session of the conference yes
terday, said it is necessary to reach
an agreement designed to prevent
strikes and to assure maximum pro-
duction of materials necessary to
maintain the American forces in
France.
Representatives of the workers
named William Johnson of Washing
ton, president of the International As
sociation of Machinists, to take the
place Of ]. A. Franklin, president of
the Boiler Makers Union, who was
unable to serve on the committee.
Former President Taft was chosen
today by representatives of capital as
their representative for the public in
the joint conferences here between
employers and employees to establish
a basis of relations during the war.
The workers representatives also will
name a man to represent the public.

"SPITE fence"
CAUSES DAMAGE
SUIT FOR $4,000

Michael Rebstock and Nathan Kraut
are neighbors at Hallett street and
Berkshire avenue, but for some rea-
son the neighborly feeling which
should exist in such circumstances is
lacking.
Rebstock is suing Kraut in the Court
of Common Pleas for 1000 damages
for the erection of what he terms
in his complaint a spite fence" Pa
pers in the suit were filed today.
Kraut owns property at the corner
of the two streets, and Rebstock is
owner of the adjoining property in
Berkshire avenue. Rebstock COM
plains that about October 1, last, Kraut
caused to be e. ected an unsightly
fence, eight feet in height of rough
posts and rough unpainted boards,
which extends four feet over on the
sidewalk, and shuts off the view from
Bebstock's windows.
Rebstock says that this fence serves
no utilitarian purpose, but was erect
ed maliciously and with the express
purpose of annoying Bebstock. He
asks the court to grant a permanent
injunction against Kraut to restrain
him from maintaining the fence

JUSTICE WHEELER
is MADE TRUSTEE

The late Mrs. Henry NJ. Sherman
left by her will trust of $4,000
for the benefit of the needy Episco-
pal clergymen of Connecticut. Bishop
Chauncey B. Brewster and the Rev.
]. Chauncey Linsley, with the Rev
Henry M Sherman, of Bridgeport,
were the trustees of this fund.
The death of the Rev. Sherman
made it necessary for the surviving
trustees to name his successor. Bishop
Brewster and the Rev. Mr.. LinsleF
have filed with the Probate Court for
the District of Bridgeport certificate
of their appointment as co-trustee
in place of~Mr. Sherman, Justice Geo
W. Wheeler. The service of those
trustees is wholly voluntary, and the
clergymen to be assisted are desig-
mated by Bishop Brewster.

HITS POLITICIANS
HELPING TEUTONS
DenOunces Activities of
Won BernstOrff and
His Agents.

Washington, Feb. 26-Sena-
tors who participated in the fill
ibuster that resulted in the de-
feat of the armed ship bill last
session were assailed by Sena"
tor Swanson of Virginia, an ad-
ministration leader, in a speech
today, as having destroyed
"the last chance for peace"
between the United States and
Germany. By this action, he
said, Germany was convinced
that we did not have the cour-
age to defend our rights and
that no injury she could inflict
would result in warfare.
This small group of wilful sena-
tors Senator Swanson declared,
were responsible for the creation of
this belief in Germany and deserve Sc
we're condemnation for misrepresent-
ing and thwarting at this critical time
the will of the American people. Con-
vinced by defeat of the measure for
armed neutrality that the United
States was too craven to fight, hardly
had congress adjourned before Ger
many commenced the enforcement of
extended submarine warfare"
Senator Swanson after reviewing
the causes that led to Americas en-
trance to the war declared there is
IAN insidious and reasonable propa-
ganda now conducted in this country
designed to produce dissatisfaction
and patriotic lethargy in order to OBJ
tain a German made peace"
Engaged in spreading this perni-
cious propaganda, he said, is a
motley crew composed of fanatics,
German spies and persons corrupted
with German gold and promises, Off
cered by a few selfish politicians who
foolishly think they see an opportunity
for self-advancement although it may
result in the wrecking of the coun-
try"
The activities of former German
Ambassador Won Bernstorff and other
German agents despite our neutrality
in attempting to cripple our indus
tries, instigate plots and to influence
the congress in the interest of the Ger
man empire also were denounced by
Senator Swanson.

EXCHANGES roll.
FOR BUNDLE OF
COMMON PAPER

George Wallace, who claims to be
Greek, residing at Is Carlson street,
complained to the police today that
he had been held up by two men on
the point of a gun at the corner of
Main street and Boston avenue and
500 was taken from him.
On being questioned by police Off
cials Wallace admitted having re-
ceived from the two men a roll of
what he thought was money tied up
in a handkerchief, but upon examin-
ing the bundle he discovered that it
was composed of blank paper. He also
claims that only $50 of his roll be-
longed to him, the other $40 having
ben borrowed to purchase a horse.
The police do not altogether believe
the story told by Wallace, and be-
leve he was the victim of con game
in which he thought he was getting a
lot of money tied up in the handker-
chief in exchange for his hundred.

Rehearsa1sf for the raid were held
the day before. The barrage fire be-
gan at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
and continued until 6:35.
The Americans among the 100 in
the attacking party were surprised at
the precision with which the French
shells fell and went little faster
than they should have done and were
within 80 yards of the dropping shells
when they reached the enemy lines.
Relief had just been completed in
the German trenches and officers were
making the rounds. The Germans took
shelter in dugout rooted with rails
and sand bags. A French shell made
direct hit and the enemy scattered
about the trench. At the same mo-
ment the Americans and French jump
ed in.
There was some hand to hand fight
ing but the entire enemy party at this
point was captured. The raiders
forced the enemy out of other shelters
and communicating trenches.
The raiders and prisoners started
back across No Mans Land on sched-
ule time, but were caught in Ger
man counter barrage. One enemy
shell wounded five Germans and six
F'renchmen, but no Americans. The
prisoners were from 16 to 40 years of
age. All apparently were under-nour-
iShed.
The artillery contest in the Aneri-
can sector northwest of Toul grows
moro intense daily. The Germans
fired a hundred or more shells during
the last "a hours and late this evening

KITCHEN
STOVE; TO Get
S4OO when SO

If William Lamountain, 35 years,
lives to be 60 years old, he will get
cash benefit from the estate of his
mother Lucy Chelsea, whose will was
filed in the Probate court today. AS
it is he is bequeathed a kitchen stove,
gas plates, and other kitchen equip
ment.
The estate will inventory at less
than $400. The will creates a trust
fund of the rest and residuary to be
held for the son until he attains the
age of 60 years. The rest of the
household furniture is divided between
the daughters, Jennie Freeman and
Ella Maloff, the latter now residing
in the vicinity of Berrnouth, Syria.
Creating a trust fund of so small an
amount and for such a period makes
Ehe will one of the most peculiar doc
hment filed in the Probate court in
many years.

ONCE WEALTHY,
DESERTED, BAKER
KILLS HIMSELF

Driven insane by the desertion of
his wife and ensuing business losses,
Fedeie Del Vecchio, a once prosperous
baker residing at "a Calhoun avenue,
jumped liz front of a train near Stam-
ford late last night or early this
morning. His mutilated body was
found today near the railroad tracks
and identified as that of the Bridge
port man who was being taken to an
asylum in New York by relatives.
Del Vecchio was deserted by his
wife some months ago and shortly
after began to show signs of mental
breakdown. He neglected his bust
ness and began to wander to different
parts of the state in search of his
missing spouse. In the course Of
those wanderings he was arrested sew
eral times by the authorities as his
peculiar actions attracted attention.
Del Vecchio was taken into Gus
tody few weeks ago in Portchester,
through some trouble he got into
over a horse, but upon his mental
state being noted he was freed.

a German prize crew from the
Pacific ocean ON board, is ashore
near the SkaW lighthouse. Two
of the prisoners aboard are Amer

The prisoners on the Igotz Men

Twenty-Five persons, including
nine women, two children and
