BOOkmarkers Are
 Given to Library

Last week the War Savings com mittee sent invitations to several of the larger job printing offices in the city to contribute book markers to the War Savings cause. The idea was to keep people reminded of the neces- sity of fulfilling the pledges they made on National Enlistment Day to buy specified numbers of War Savings Stamps throughout the balance of the year 1918.
 These book markers are to be sent to the Bridgeport Public Library and it's branches, and are to be included in every book that goes out from the library. They will also be provided upon request for the various circulat- ing libraries in town. The printers board for these book markers and it is not desired tha tthey should em- ploy any new stock which has other use beside scrap. Some very tastY designs have been submitted by sev- eral of the printing offices, and they will soon be installed in the libraries and the patrons will receive them witt their books. This is simply one ot many of the activities of the War Savings committee by which it i! sought to keep the War Savings movement at all times before the pub lie At the special request of the Wal Savings committee those who are do- mating these book markers will statt that they are making such contrbiu tion in small type at the bottom of the markers.

Right of Munition
 Workers To Have Unions Recognized

Washington, Aug. 22.---The right of workers of ammunition plants to or Fganize in trade unions or groups, and to bargain collectively through chosen representatives is recognized and af- firmed in an award made public yes- terday by the national war labor board in controversy between the Smith & Wesson Company. arms man. ufacturers, and their employees at Springfield, Mass.
 The board ruled that any employe discharged in violation of the princi- ples of the award should be restored to their positions and paid for all time lost on account of the discharge. The practice of a company in times past to make restrictive personal con- tracts, even if lawful when made, is contrary to the principles of the board, it was stated in the award, and the practice should be discontinued for the period of the war.
 The board ruled that employers should not discharge workers for membership in trade unions nor for | legitimate trade union activity, and that the workers on their part in the exercise of their right to organize | should not use coercive measures of any kind to induce employers to bar gain or deal with them. Representa- tives to present grievances and me diate with the company, the board suggested should be elected by the employees in convenient public building in the neighborhood of the plant.
 In commenting upon the award, joint Chairman Walsh said that it was one of the most important cases yet decided by the board. The com pany claimed the right to make in dividual contracts with the men, he said, which was intended to prevent employees from thereafter joining la Dor unions under the right guaran- teed to them by the very first prin-
 ciple of the war labor board.
