Shop Committee Will
 Get Trial in Bridgeport
(Continued from Page one)

(Continued from Page One) officials of the firm. Should they i1 turn not agree the matter is taken to the local Board of Mediation, which consists of three representa- tives of labor and three representa- lives of the manufacturers. A final appeal may then be made to the Ma uonal War Labor Board should their decision not be satisfactory.
 Should an employe claim a griev- ance which two members of the de- partment committee refuse to recog- nize, he may make a canvass of his department and if he can secure the signatures of 20 per cent. of the employees he may ask for the election of a new committee.
 All matters affecting the welfare of the workers may be made the subject of complaint, such as wages, sanitation, hours of labor, or in fact anything that in any way affects the employe.
 The movement has had the unani- nous support of local manufacturers and the articles and bylaws have been the subject of many informal meet ings between their representatives and those of local workers.
 Alpheus Winter examiner of the Bridgeport Award of the War Labor Board, expressed his satisfaction this morning at the conclusion of the matter to which he has given so much attention.
 Samuel Lavit business agent of the Machlnists' Union, stated, While there are several clauses in the agree ment to which we do not fully sub scribe, the main articles have our ap- proval. The signing of this agree ment begins a new era for the work ing man of Bridgeport, and for the whole country Each employe can be assured that no matter how small his grievance. it will receive the greatest attention, and a fair decision will be reached. He will have a chance to dictate somewhat as to the conditions under which he is to work, instead ot being obliged to labor under arbitrary conditions imposed by employers l The committee in his department will consist of his fellow workers, whose interests are his, and anything per taining to his welfare will affect them Every shop employe in the city vii receive a printed copy of the rules and by laws several days before the election, in order that he may become familiar with the procedure, and the privileges which he now has. The placards will be posted in every de- i partment at least a. week before the election, and everything possible vii Joe dcGe to familiarize employees witt the articles of agreement"

INFLUENZA GERM COMPANIONABLE
 IS NEVER ALONE

 Some of the soldiers, among them a number of colored men from the South could not read of write when they came to West Haven. In six weeks time they were taught to do both and were able to write well enough to send letters to their people at home. And very proud they are of this accomplishment.
 Those in charge at base hospital 16 have advanced the science of diagnosing chest cases to such g. de- gree that they are able to determine the presence of any disease in that part of the body long before the per son affected would feel i'll. This ac- complishment is going to prove a great factor in curbing these diseases which are responsible for so many deaths.
 Many of the men at this hospital are those who were burn l with mus tard gas. This gas is a most diaboli- cal thing and even the slightest burn from it leaves an effect for months afterward. Very often soldiers who have merely walked through region where it is have hardly noticed the presence Of it, but one man who was burned ever so lightly coughed for nine months afterward.
 Dr. FIeck, whose military rank is that of captain, said that a burn from mustard gas had the same effect as if you put the point of red hot poker against the flesh. It acts the same on whatever mucuous mem brane of the body 1t touches. If it | IS only light burn the person af- | fected does not feel it until four or l five weeks afterward. If the burn is a severe one collapse of the lungs re- ]

BUILDERS
 TO TAKE ACTION
 ON HOUSING PLAN
(Continued from Page one)

(COntInued rom Page One)
 gent need in Bridgeport for places for intuition workers to live, and he says the type of houses which are being erected by the government is not suitable to the best growth of the city. Some of these houses are on sites which are not suitable, and the type of house itself is not best adapt ed to the future growth of the city. Sanitary requirements were reduced for these projects by action of the common council, although other housing has to comply with a more rigid code. I believe the best type of house for Bridgeport is the two family type, standing in it's own lot, and occupied by the owner and one tenant. This divides the cost, al- lows for an attractive edifice, and for the best conditions for family life. 1T am not personally interested so much as many other contractors. Many of the men who made 8 spec ialty of building two and three fam fly houses before the war have been forced out of business. Money could not be obtained, labor was scarce due to war conditions, and the gov ernment claimed priority on labor and materials. We did not say a word while the war emergency last | ed, but now that the war is practical ly over we believe we are entitled to l consideration and that conditions | should be allowed to return to the | normal. There is now no e1ner- 1 gency which requires homes for am- munition makers, and we believe we
 are entitled to a chance to make a living"
 This contractor did not wish to | interfere in projects where any con | siderable amount of money had al ] ready been spent, but said he desired to stop commencement of work on
 several others which were planned
 but actually under way.
 It is expected a formal protest will be voiced at the meeting o1
 Tuesday night and sent to the prop
 CT department, asking for cessation
 of all work where the projects are
 not well advanced.

Engineers Will Send Committee to Capitol
 If Occasion Demands

The Stationary Engineers of Bridge port are rapidly completing their or- ganization to obtain a status under the award of the Federal War Labor Board. Fred l.. Bowen, Patrick J. Grace, Frank D. Anderson of the board of police commissioners, and stephen Purdy have been designated committee to manage the campaign If necessary the committee, or men representing 1t, will proceed to Wash 1ngton.
 Bridgeport stationary engineers are for the most part members of Bridgeport Association, No 4, A. N. s. E. The Bridgeport association has, about 2e members and the national organization, 100000 members.
 The Association Is not a labor union, nor affiliated with the American Fed eration, but a social organization not primarily designed to function In the adjustment of wage differences.
 The engineers were not considered in the labor award, and hence are talk ing steps toward inclusion, with the Idea of substantially increasing their compensation.
