100000 MACHINISTS
 ARE OUT ON STRIKE
Workmen at Munitions Plants Refuse Plea of War Secre tar to Return to Work Waiting for Word
 From Washington

I hood of 1000 men were out with no prospect of their returning until a settlement is reached by the authori- l ties in Washington.
 At the American-B British Manufac- turing company's plant the situation remains unchanged. The men to the number of 1000 are out and as far as 1 the officials of the company are con- cerned they are going to stay out.
 The Bridgeport. Brass company has some men at work as well as ths American Tube and Stamping com pany.
 It is only in the small shops the F fear exists that they will have to close their doors for some time to come. j
 The plants which have reported their men working as usual are the Model Tool and Gauge company, the Smith Manufacturing company, the i American Graphophone company, the i Harris Engineering company, the F. S. Trunbull Gauge and Tool company and the Lindstrom Die, Gauge and Tool company.
 One of the main features of the sit uation today is that the threatened sympathetic strike of 5000 workers. 
 which was prophesied by the business agent of the Machinists' Union, did not materialize. l. According to government officials in i Bridgeport the strikers have ignored the appeals which have been made to them by Washington and seem bent upon forcing the. local manufac- l turers to yield to their demands. In the attitude taken by the ma l chinists it appears as though they doubted the sincerity of the local manufacturers and one of their. de: mands is that the manufacturers sign a document which will guarantee thr strict adherence to the terms award ed by the Taft-Walsh board in Wash ington.

DEE WILL ENGAGE IN MANUFACTURE OF WAR SPECIALS Resigns From Drouve Com pany and Establishes Fac
 tory in This City. SHIP HARDWARE
 HIS SPECIALITY Has Been Member of Coun- cil of Defense and Promi-
 nent in War Work.
Thursday, June 27

William V. Dee, secretary and gen. eral manager of the G. Drouve con- pany, known throughout Connecticut for his work in the State Council of l Defense, the Four Minute Meu, Red Cross, Liberty Loan and other drives, has resigned to engage in business for | himself and to be more active in help ing to carry out and produce mate rfals that will directly help the war program, by manufacturing. design ing and selling ship specialties, ship hardware and other kindred lines, materials needed for ships which have first call and are of utmost impor- tance.
 In addition to an office and factory in Bridgeport, an office will be estab- lished in Philadelphia so as to be in close touch with the large shipping interests where hundreds of steel, ves- sels are being made, and the head quarters of the U. s. Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet corporation have lbeen located by Charles M Schwab, Director General.
 MT. Dee has a wide acquaintance among engineers, architects and con- tractors throughout the United States through years of endeavor in helping to make famous the Drouve Made in Bridgeport, products, skylights and sash operators and gives up the work for this wider field with considerable regret.
 Previous to coming to Bridgeport in 1907, F years ago, MT. Dee was asso- ciated with the Railway Age" who stated at that time in their columns in wishing him continued success:
 His old associates in the Railway Age were sorry to see ties of many years standing severed. They rejoice in his good fortune and join with all his friends in congratulations an1 good wishes. MT. Dee is in every sense of the term a self-made mar lie began his creditaJble career with the Age as an office boy and has g1cWn up with the institution which he has been with Il years. His pro- motion began the moment he began work. From the position of office boy he soon graduated to a clerkship. then became a solicitor of subscrip- tions, from that it was but step to soliciting advertising and almost be- fore we knew it Colonel Dee was as- sistant manager of the New York of nee. lie mas earned Dy COnSClSnt1Ous hard work and persistence a success that is more than praiseworthy for 6 man of his years and those who know him best know that he has hardly started up the ladder of success"
 His many friends in Bridgeport echo the words above and wish him every success and are sure he will make 5ood in an even greater meas ure.>
 MT. Dee is a member of St. Johns Hodge, Masons, Algonquin club, Black Rock Shore & Country club, Wea- Itogue ' Country club, Bridgeport; Friars and Machinery club, New York, and was recently elected a member of the Society of Mechanical i Engineers. .-

RUSSIA'S NEEDS WILL BE STATED
 BY KERENSKY
Former Dictator Hopes to be Countrymen's Spokes-
 man in U. $.

London, June 27-Alexander Ker- ensky, the short-lived dictator of Russia, hopes to be received in America as the spokesman of his countrymen. He wants to plead the cause of the newborn Russian democ- racy to the great republic overseas Today Kerensky has promised to ad- dress the labor conference. Within few days he will go to France and thence to the United States. How Kerefsky escaped from Rus sia cannot be told until the time comes. That probably will be when his helpers will not be endangered by the revelations. At present he is evading all uninvited visitors.
 The Express describes kerensky as man of words, not action, Few men, it says, have made a more pic1 turesque or a more pitiable mark on the history of the war, adding: ''The Allies made the mistake o1 appealing to Kerensky, when they should have upheld the authority ot the constituent assembly,"
 The Graphie5- on the other hand sees in Kerensky's appearance ir London a welcome sign of possible fresh developments in Russia. Ii urges Allied action in Russia through Siberia, expressing belief that this is a policy that President Wilson has recently come to accept.

Despite the appeal made to the loyalty of the 1hachinists who went on strike in the munition shops of Bridgeport, the men to the number of about ten thousand refused to return to work this morning.
 They decided at the meeting. held yesterday afternoon at the State street Casino to remain on strike until they heard from the Business Agent of the Machinists' Union who is now in Washington, conferring with members of the Taft Walsh board, which body has the entire matter before them for adjustment.
 One of the most gratifying develop ments observed today was the fact that not a man out of the thousands employed by the Bullard Machine and Engineering company was reported absent when the whistles blew. Work is being rushed on an important gov ernment order which will be delivered ahead of time. It was reported yes terday that large number of the Bull lard machinists and toolmakers went out, but as it was around noon hour the men were merely going to their lunch and returned to their work when the noon hour was up.
 The situation as it stands today seems to be deadlock. the men awaiting word from their leaders in Washington and the manufacturers refusing to have anything to do with the matter, as they claim that the situation is entirely up to the men and the government.
 It was reported at the Remington Arms plant that between TOO and S0C men were out, although a few came back this morning. The Liberty Ord i nance reported that in the neighbor-
