The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1918-06-10

Since the first deputation of NUM-
tons workers went to Washington,
reports have been received that sim
liar Populations are being planned
from Maryland, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey-the states where much
munitions work is in progress. When
the women of Bridgeport, New Ha-
ven and other Connecticut cities heard
Of this plan it was at once mooted
that a similar deputation be sent
from this state. There are difficulties
in the way-largely due to the close
ness with which they are tied to their
important work, but at the present
moment it seems likely that the diff
fculties will be overcome and that
number of these munitions workers
will be selected to carry the MESA ges
OF their comrades to the President.
