STRIKE INCITERS NARROWLY MISS
 BATH IN CREEK

The business agent of the machin- ists' union and the members of the strike committee made a futile effort today to induce the men employed at the gun plant of the Bu11ard Machine company to join the strike. They had ? narrow escape of being thrown in Ash Creek by the men who became enraged when approached upon the subject of dropping government work.
 Amid cries of We are Americans" and Why should we go out with a the creek and many other exclama- tions and threats the strike committee and the business agent told to get into their two automobiles by the police and move away.
 The men were in an ugly mood and would have done bodily harm to the strikers had not the police interfered and persuaded them to return to their work.
 One Of the committee men shouted, "I can do anything you can do." and he was greeted with volley of 1eers and hisses. The Bullard men shout cd back "If you are competent ma chinist why aren't you working?" Then arose a tumult of shouts to the effect i've are Americans not trail tors" and there was a determined rush made in the direction of the lit tie band of strikers. Shouts began to go up Throw them in the creek" and at this juncture the police inter- fered. l.. .jS SNaH

BAKER ORDERED
 TO CLOSE DOOR :, FOR VIOLATION
Hellenic Bakery Closed For Six Days for Making
 False Reports.

The local Food Administration has again taken action for violation of the rules, and has ordered the closing of bakery owned by Kosta Kochia, 1S6 Gilbert street,
 Hearings were held Aug. 30, and the penalty for the offense was the closing of the bakery from Wednes- day, Sept. 4, to Sept. 10, at 1f:59 p. m. E.
 The bakery is known as the Hellenic Bakery and does an extensive business in the South End, and the closing will be a serious loss to the owners,
 ''The Food Administration" says D. Eairchild Wheeler, "has determin- ed on a rigid course of procedure against violators of the rules, as it is the only way to protect the inter ests of the people who have appointed us to oversee the food supply of the country. The Hellenic Bakery was penalized because it turned in false reports and information to the\admin- istration, and because 1t was not using a proper amount of substitutes. ,Other violators will receive a similar pen nalty."

Paris. Sept. 4-French troops yes- terday and last night continued to push back the Germans to the east of the Canal du Norod and between the Ailette and the Aisne, says today's war office announcement.
 In their advance the French, took the Chapitre wood, northeast of Che willy, and approached the town of Crisolles, three miles north of Noyon.
 The text reads:
 Yesterday during the day and night the French continued to press back the enemy east of the Canal du Nord and between the Ailette and the Aisne.
 French troops captured the Chapi- tree wood, northeast of Chevilly, and farther south French elements ad- vanced, pursuing the enemy, and are approaching Crisolles.
 North of the Ailette the French carried their lines to the western out skirts of Coucy le Chateau and Juven- court. To the south the French pro- gressed east of Leuilly and reached the outskirts of Clamacy and Braye and penetrated Buoy Ie Long. The number of prisoners taken in that re- zion exceed 1,500.

WILD CHASE FOR

 Fully twenty jitney's joined in the wild chase, but they were soon lost as Parker in Weisman's car pursued by Clerk Brennan and the policemen outdistanced any of the would-be Barney Oldfields,
 Three shots were fired in an effort to halt the runaway, but his only answer was to shoot more gas to his machine and 1t was not until nearly all the West End had been covered that he was finally run down by Clerk Brennan, and taken to the Third Pre- cinct station.
 Parker claims :. the owner of the car gave him permission to drive it and that he was only taking it back to- the garage. Weisman denies this however, and the charge of taking an automobile without the owners permission was made to stick.

London, Sept. 4 - The clearing of machine gun nests around Terny Sorny is continued by the Americans despite the stubborn opposition of German patrols, says the Daily Mail s correspondent in a dispatch from the headquarters of the American army in France. Continuing, the dispatch says:
 The Americans finally gained the ascendancy and consolidated their positions near Terny sorney. General Mangin two days ago visited the American general commanding this unit and expressed complete satisfac- tton over it's achievement, pointing out how important the sector north ward from Soissons is and how the Germans had brought fresh troops forward to hold the positions. The Americans were pleased with praise from such a source and on their part they say that the French cavalry and tanks greatly aided their success
 At no place along the battle line extending from Soissons to Flanders has the enemy been able to resist the Allied armies in sufficient strength to cause a halt in the offensive move ment. The Germans after repeated defeats at various points have given ground apparently content to cover their retreat with rear guard actions. Where, if at all, the Germans plan to make a determined stand is problem atical. The failure to counter attack for the possession of the Queant-Dro- court line gives added credence to unofficial reports that still another line has been prepared--a switch line from Brebieres to Moeuvres---and that here valiant effort will be made to stem the tide of the battle.

At this conven- tton three members of the new local Board of Mediation and Consolidation will be chosen to represent the em- ployes. Cooperate with the govern ment in setting up means for assur- ing industrial harmony and justice in Bridgeport"
 We have the support of the Inter. national of our union and our every action has been in strict accordance with the instructions given to us by President William H. Johnson. of the International Association of Machin- ists," declared J. Mors, chairman of the Machinists' strike committee to- day when interviewed by Times rep resentative.
 Continuing, Chairman Mors said: -Four shops have already signed an agreement with the union and we ex- pect IA others to do the same. The contracts will be submitted to the men for their approval. There Is one thing I would like to say and that is, In the opinion of the union men and government officials the Bridgeport Times is the most disturbing element in the situation and has done more than any other agency to keep the trouble unsettled.
 President Johnston, before he left Bridgeport for Washington, the other night, definitely told us who are on strike to stay out and we are now following his instructions to the letter and intend to follow them, secure in the conviction that we have the SUD- port of our International behind us"
 In general the situation throughout the city remains the same although it was reported from the Bullard plant that efforts had been made to pull Out the men employed in making guns When spoken to today B. P. Bullard said, "The men working for our con- cern are the most loyal lot in the world and not a single man back of them has even thought of leaving his work. There is nothing but loyalty in work 100 per cent. hI numbers and our plants and the men remain at 100 per cent. in effort to win the war"
 At the Remington Arms plant 1t was said that of 300 men employed on the Browning gun component parts, 150 had returned. The management is confident that full production can be carried on without material delay. Things remain the same at the 1ib- erty Ordnance where the gun plant and the machine shop is tied up.
 Many have returned to work in the U. M. c. plant. The number has not been stated.
 Machinists and toolmakers continue to leave town.
 The strike committee views the work of the government agents sent to Bridgeport to arrange for the put ting into effect of the Taft-Walsh La bor Board award with indifference as they say what is the use of putting measure into effect if there is no one to take advantage of 1t.
 Nothing had been heard from Wash ington at noon. At headquarters Of the nlachinists they felt confident word would be received this after noon.

MR.. WILSON'S BENEFACTION.

Mr.. Hugh Wilson's will left
$4,000 to the Thornwell Orhpanage.
That bequest will be used in an
enlargement of the general dining
room and kitchen, the Memorial
Hall. The corner stone of that ad-
dition will be laid May 2Sth.
Mr.. Wilson at one time was very
strongly opposed to the Thornwell
Orphanage, but he changed his mind
and most nobly and splendidly en-
dorsed it's work in the splendid be-
quest which he left to the Orphan
age at his death. We would like to
honor him by putting copy of his
paper, The Press and Banner, con-
tanning his obituary and his picture
into the corner stone.
