POLICE TO KEEP TABS ON AUTOS
 OUT TOMORROW

Acting upon orders received from Superintendent of Police John H, Redgate, Captain Wheeler, of the traffic squad, issued orders to his men both at the street crossings and in the motor cycle corps, to take the numbers of all pleasure autohobiles seen in operation tomorrow.
 This action on the part of the Bridgeport police is taken in accord ance with the ruling which Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield has requested the owners of automobiles to observe SC that gasoline may be conserved.
 u must be distinctly understood that tho request not to use an auto- mobile for pleasure on Sundays is not a law, it is merely request made by the fuel administrator and 1t Is taken for granted that every loyal American will abide by it.
 The police will record the license number of every pleasure car they see tomorrow and the records thus made will be preserved for the gov ernnent In case they should be want ed at any time in the future.

WAR GARDENS OF
 LOCOMOBILEM MEN ON EXHIBITION

Next Tuesday, Sept. 3, in the super visors' meeting room of the Locomo- bile Companys factory there is to be 8 demonstration of hatw maybe ac- complished under live wire leadership. Samples of the produce of 50 or more war gardens planted by Locomobile employees are to be exhibited and prizes are to be awarded for general all around excellence. Every exhibl- tor will receive a blue ribbon with the inscription in gold, For War Garden Activity, 1918." The three best ex- hibitors will be given special, sub stantial rewards.
 About 40 of the Locomobile gar dens were planted on privately owned land bordering on Seaside park, the free use of which was obtained through the Bridgeport Home Gar dens Committee. The owners were very glad to contribute their land for such use and have followed results closely. They have noted with inter- est the faithful and effective work done thereon by the gardeners, who, AANh"%hAAotetAAOAIAS 4Ile14y ul1u5udl uIdW- backs are reaping substantial rewards for their labors. In such a location the gardens have naturally been a source of interest, and emulation to many of the hosts of visitors to the park and 1t is certain that direct and indirect results of great value have followed these many inspections. Tn various ways the higher company of | ficials have lent their valuable aid and encouragement to their employees | who feel deeply grateful.
 The Locomobile War Garden move 1 ment has been 1eaded by a committee consisting of Jeremiah Dahl, Edward F. Noweu and J. B. PheIan, all ex- | perienced and successful gardeners for many years and whose practical sympathy and counsel has been in- valuable. Notwithstanding that the season has practically six weeks yet tc run so satisfied are the participants in the movement that 1t has already been decided to engage In War Gar
 den activities next year on a scale twice or more that of this year.

REJECT ADVICE
 OF GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES
Machinists in Mass Meeting Decide Not to Return to
 Work Under Award.

It Is considered possible that the charter of the local Machinists union will be revoked by the grand lodge of the International Association of Machinists on the ground that they have disregarded the instructions of the grand lodge and have violated the decision of the government by going on strike.
 This word came from Washington yesterday when it became known at the capital that the men had walked out of 66 plants working on war material in this city as a protest against the award of the Taft-Walsh board.
 The developments looked Tor to- day are many, but the principal event is the expected calling out of the machinists employed at the Lake Torpedo boat company's plant, not withstanding the fact that they come under the heading of ship builders and have no grievance agalnst tneIr employers.
 At many of the shops yesterday machinists resigned from their posi- tions and were busy yesterday after noon and all today making prepara- tions to leave town in order to avoid any of the possible trouble. Many of these men said that they did nor want to remain idle anad be called slacRers and as they had other work waiting for them they thought 1t best to go.
 No less than 13 representatives from the National War Labor Board arrived in Bridgeport yesterday and were surprised to find strike conui- tions prevailing upon their arrival | They immediately went into confer ence with the strikers committee and | explained to them that their mission | in Bridgeport was to put the award made by the Taft-Walsh board into | effect. They were told that in the | opinion of the machinists the award was "rotten" and that Otto M Eid- | litz should be called "Von Hinder. l litz"
 The attitude taken by the Manu. lecturers Association Is m$de clear by the statement made by George s | Hawley, yesterday in which he said | These men are not striking agains the manufacturers, they are striking against the United States govern. ment. How can we accede to theil | demands? If the manufacturers dit
 so it would be offensive to the gov
 ernment, since the Taft-Wa1sh board
 has handed down it's decision.''
 This morning 1t was stated that be 1 tween 5000 and 10000 men were ou
 and that many more would take ad
 vantage of the holiday Monday tt
 go out in the hope that by Tuesda,
 or Wednesday the trouble would b,
 adjusted and they could return t. | work.

BRASS MILLS TO SPEED UP.

Washington, Aug. 31-Bernard M Baruch, chairman of the War Indus tries Board, has received assurances from representatives of the brass manufacturers promising co-opera- ton with the governments plans to speed up the rolled brass mills pro- duction to cure the shortage in the supply of essential war materials. such as shells, cartridges, condenser tubes, etc.
 Plans suggested to this end were: Each mill to take it's full share of government business; each mill to take work best suited to Its equip ment; out of all non-essential uses of the products in which there is a short age; determination by the manufac- turers to get out the product iii the face of obstacles, to work up to full capacity.
