CONDEMNS ACT
 OF STRIKERS IN
 MUN|T|ON SHOPS
Bridgeport War Bureau in Meetings Adopts Resolu- tions Putting Itself
 on Record.

At a meeting of the Executive committee of the War Bureau last evening, the following resolutions were drawn up and passed by unani- nous vote:
 Resolved: That we condemn as in- defensible and unpatriotic the present strike of the machinists of Bridgeport and we call upon all patriotic men and women in Bridgeport to do their ut most to arouse in our city public opinion which will show to the strik- ing machinists the indignation which our men and women feel towards their action which helps weaken our re- sistance to German aggression and tends to prolong the war.
 Resolved:-That the Executive committee of the Bridgeport War Bu- reau is of the opinion that the strike of the machinists in Bridgeport will ten to retard the production of the munitions of war which comprise 80 per cent of our manufacturing output and that the continuance of the strike must inevitably take away from our troops at the front the arms and am- munition which are indispensably necessary for their safety and for the successful prosecution of the war.

French Have Advanced Four Miles Reaching
 Entirely New Ground
Continued from Page 1.)

It was beyond the Disc. however, that Gen. Petani's forces made their most important gains. Gen. Mangin's eesny has a difficult task before it here, where the Germans are estab- lished in the extensive forest of St. Gobain, the key point of their defen- sive system. The French already have pushed through the outlying lower forest of Coucy, however, and by taking Barisis have begun to press in on the St. Gobain Massif itself.
 At points along this front the French apparently have reached ground beyond the former German de- fensive line. The official statement from Paris shows them on the edges of the upper forest of Coucy, also a part of the St. Gobain bastion de- lending Laon, and they are unofficial ly reported to have pushed into a big stretch of entirely new ground in this area. The Germans are desperately resisting here.

LIMIT AMOUNT OF
 COAL STORAGE

Because 1t was rumored that a large number of manufacturing plants in this city have been storing up coal for the winter, the United States Fuel Administration have issued orders to the effect that all plants in the city will be allotted only certain amounts of coal based on the average maxi mum daily consumption. This will place them exactly on the same plane as the domestic consumers.
 No factory in the city whether util- ity, preferred industry or non-prefer- red industry will be permitted to have @ supply on hand in excess of 75 days maximum requirements. A table pre- pared by the United States Fuel Ad- ministration for Connecticut permits the following storage of bituminous coal.
 Steam Public utilities, 75 days; pre- ferred industry, 45 days; non-prefer- red, 20 days.

TAXPAYERS SLOW
 IN FILING LISTS

Tax Commissioner Connor is very much disappointed in the laxity of property owners bringing in their lists.
 Up to 12 o'clock today only HOO brought in this years lists which comes due in 1919. The commission CT said that the first week is always considered the slowest, during the month allowed for making property returns, but he has never known it to be less than 1000. Since there are more than 14,0OO lists to be gone over the earlier the lists are returned the better. Unless owners do not wish to present new lists, 1t will be almost impossible to give the necessary atten- tion to those who leave the matter of the 1918 tax lists to the last week.
