The government of the United

Bridgeport Housing Co., on most lib
eral terms which are briefly as fol-
lows:
The Housing Co. puts in its pres

value, or 20 per cent of the govern

the houses. and takes a mortgage for
its security due in fifteen years, at a
per cent. interest rate. The loan IS
to be reduced to SO per cent. during
the first seven years by installment
derwritten by the citizens of Bridge
port, and stock of the Housing Co.
to be issued for them as they ma
ture.
1t is further provided that the
Housing Co. shall have the right to
dispose of any or adj of the houses at
any time to individuals under these
favorable government terms. The
officers of the Housing Co. believe
that the attftude,of the government in
recognizing Bridgeport and giving
this city the first opportunity to avail
itself of these funds, is a distinct
compliment to the city, and every
corporation and citizen should recog-
nize the advantage of supporting this
loan by taking at least a small amount

Mr., William H. Ham, the manager

self and yells "Bolshevik!"
This sudden upthrust Of the Mooney
case thru the floor of polite society has
just set them off again. The re-elec-
ton of Stephens as governor of Cali
fornia was generally received here as
a guaranty that Tom Mooney would
be hanged, and "labor would learn
something" Now come the central la
Dor councils in Seattle and Norfolk and
New York City and lot of places in
between, talking of a general strike
if Stephens does not give Mooney a
new and fair trial. And Samuel Com
pers, yesterday lauded in every re-
specially reactionary editorial column
from coast to coast, joins the deep
chorus of declaration that Mooney
shall not hang" 1t is quite too much
for our upper class press. They are
going to call Gompers Bolshevik,
too!
1t isn't Moneys life that worries
them now; it is the fact that the
American labor movement has reached
the point where it takes action in its
own right, to prevent gross injustice
by the courts. These reactionaries
see that when the times are bit less
fush-when the returned soldiers and
the returned war workers have filled
all of the best jobs, and one or two
millions of them are impatiently wait
ing for good jobs such as were handed
out to the first comers-the vast, ir-
resistible power of the labor move
ment may be used to speed up the
action of Congress. That was done
some years before the war by the Brit
ish coal miners, and our own railroad
brotherhoods came near using the
same method in the matter of their
eight-hour day.
So our investment bankers and their
lawyers and diplomats and writer's
don't sleep well these nights. They are
passing around town this story which
adds to their thrills:
A wounded soldier, weak but deter
mined to start again to earn liveli-
hood for his family, applied for a job
at the factory he had left to go to
France. The boss tried to tell him
he was not needed. The soldier looked
the boss in the eye and told him that
he had better give him n job right
away. He said he had "gone thru
hell' in the war, for his own country,
and he was not forgetting that the
country was his; he was entitled to a
job.
The boss became uneasy, and told
him he would fix it up; there was a
watchman's job that could be turned
over to him.
