Al one time these railway states
were practically Independent principali-
ties. Their rulers were the big men
who had built and organized them.
They were controlled neither by the
political state nor by their sharehold-

lightly in the economics of imperial
regions as the corner vender in the
economics of peanuts. passed away the
railway industrial systems began to
come under a dual control. On the

Not content with politics, the suspected
profession overlapped into the region
Of real authority. Blackstone and Wall
Street undertook general supervision of
the railways. About the same time the
Interstate Commerce Commission began
to assert political control. Thus any
of the survivors Of the group of rough
and-ready barons that had gained do
minon of the country had their powers
curbed. but those who succeeded to the
titles of railway powers did not realize
that they were somewhat empty. Every
railway president thought of himself as
at the least a sort of unhonored Hill or
Hartman. Governors of states anc
that sort of thing might play at power
but the railway presidents considered
that the actual potency was theirs. lr

full news that at four in the morning
we were to go over the top and take

follows: "At eleven wiring party will
go out in front and cut lanes through
our barbed wire for the passage of
troops in the morning. At two o'clock
our artillery will open up with an in

DRAFT BILL PASSED
 FINALLY BY HOUSE.;
 SENATE ACTS TODAY

Washington, Aug. 3O.---The man. power bill, stripped by the conferees of the Senate and House amendment, objectionable to the War Department, finally was passed by the House yes terday without a dissenting vote. Similar action is looked for in the Senate today.
 In the form in which the bill was reported by the conferees to the House all the amendments which might have operated to handicap the Provost Marshal General, in calling the men of IS to 45 into immediate service, were eliminated.
 The anti-strike amendment, the amendment for the drafting of resi- dent aliens, the Penrose amendment excusing the registrants from claim ing exemption, and the France amendment for the wearing of badges by those exempted for agricultural or industrial pursuits, were taken out.
 Amendments which stay in the bill are those which permit officers to ob- tain their uniforms from the govern ment at cost, the provision for the technical education of soldiers and the provision that the wives of sol diers and sailors shall not be disqual- flied from acepting government posi- tions
 The final session of the conferees was attended by Provost Marshal General Crowder, who voiced his Op- position to the Penrose amendment proposing that registrants should not be required to claim exemption or de- ferred classification. General Crow der said this provision would inter- fere seriously with plans already adopted. For the new registration, the regulations will require the local draft Ibards rather than the regis trants to initiate exemptions, Crowder said.

"They say we will have to work or fight, then we will fight" is one statement which caused 2,20O mem bers of the Machinists' union, assem- bled in the State street Casino last night, to vote almost unanimously to strike for higher wages and a mini mum wage in 60 machine and muni- ton shops in Bridgeport today.
 This resolution was passed despite the orders received from the heads of the International Machinists' Union and the orders issued by the United States government, coupled with the promise that all disputes arising be- tween the manufacturer and employe would be adjusted by arbitration. The decision to strike today at noon vio- lates the pledge given the government by the machinists that they would abide by the award of the Taft-Walsh board, no matter what it might be.
 The union leaders were particularly anxious that the award of the Ma tional War Labor Board should be read in detail to the men and when
 
 called upon to read the document he replied that I. Russell, the local rep resentative of the War Labor Board. who was present was better fitted to read it and he called upon the Board s representative to read the award. After reading the award in full Rus sell concluded his remarks with the declaration, If Otto M. Eidlitz is the | National War Labor Board, will re- sign my position by telegraph to- | night"
 Another important step was taken
 by the malcontents who abolished the
 old committee and established a new l committee of five members, of whicf 1 the business agent of the union has | been elected the chairman. The l members of this committee are Cos I tello of the Remington Arms Co. Quigley, of the U. M. C.; O'Connell of the Liberty Ordnance Co.,: Huntley
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-30

of the American & British. and Sam uel J. Iavit, business agent of the Machinists' union, chairman.
 The above committee was the body that voted upon the question of strik- ing today and when it rendered the decision to strike the assemblage broke into wild cheering. It was some time before order was restored
 When quiet once more prevailed arguments came thick and fast as to the time of the scheduled walk-out today. Many argued that the men should quit work at 10 o'clock this morning, but this was ruled out be- cause many of them said that the men could not pass the guards at the plants without passes and it was therefore decided to walk out at noon. The only dissenters to a walk out | today were the men employed in the Bradley machine shops the Trum- | bull Company, the Lake Torpedo 1 Boat Company and the American Graphophone Company. The repre- sentatives of these plants claimed their employers had recognized the, l demands for minimum wage and | Adu SIdIleu more lndH was dSkeQ. They said it would not be fair to walk out on them now.
 It was finally decided that the only shops to be exempt from the walk
 out order today will be that of the Lake Torpedo Boat Company as it
 was said they come under the head ing of the Shipbuilding Board
 Motions by the score were made all
 over the hall, but one seemed to take the fancy of the men and that
 was made by an unknown member who said q move that we all resign from our jobs tomorrow morning and
 go in a body to the United States
 States Fmplyment Bureau and hire
 on as common laborers. We would ! then get a minimum wage at any rate" This motion was received
 with wild cheers and it was several seconds before anyone else could be heard.

suitable highway for the lower mills,
and, on the plea that the improve

to bear the larger part of the ex-
