NO SETTLEMENT OF MACHINISTS'
 STRIKE IN SIGHT

Up to a late hour this afternoon no word had come rom Washington re- garding the action to be taken by the government in dealing with the strike situation here. Officials at the District Ordnance Office were await ing something definite from the War Department in Washington, but re- fused to make any statement until official word was received.
 Although large numbers of the strikers had returned to work this morning no word had been given out by the local Machinists' union regard ing the calling off of the strike. Ac- cording to some of the strikers they are now patiently awaiting word from the committees which they sent to points in the middle west 70 create sympathy among the machinists in factories turning out sub-contracts for the Bridgeport plants.
 At 12 o'clock today the ultimatum issued by the International Associa- tion of Machinists, to the strikers telling them that unless they return- ed to work they would lose their in dividual membership in the Associa- ton, expired, but no official an- | nouncement or notice of the fact was given out.
