BRIDGEPORT DAILY
 PAPERS CRITICISED
Machinists Claim That Paper is ViciOusly Unfair = Manufac- turers Also Retarded InfOrma- tiOn From War Labor Board

z BRIDGEPORT v Misrepresentation and stupidity are characterizing the conduct of the Bridgeport Times in it's statements regarding the actions of the machinists. The climax of rotten ness was reached few days ago, says the Bridgeport Labor Leader, when the Times ignored an official statement given out by a government representative and alleged that the business agent of the union deliber- ately refrained from making known to meeting of the Machinists tele- gram from Washington and did not read it until after the men had deter mined to walk out. The fact is that the telegram was not received until 11.20 p. m. after everyone had gone home, except the committee.
 Again the Times claimed in the issue of August 16 that the men were back at work as the pressure of public opinion and the government was too much for the strikers. The facts are that no pressure from the government or public entered into the decision of the men.
 Frequent misrepresentation and half truths to say nothing of downright false statements on the part of the press of the city have so angered the men that they will only accept official notices from their union officials. An effort was made to get the contents of this telegram from Washington be- fore the men but in some instances this was hindered by the action of the manufacturers themselves.
 Union men should observe carefully these papers which pose as the friend of the workingmen and if they con- tinue their reprehensible tactics, give their support to fairer- minded publi- cations.

5000 MACHINISTS ATTEND MEETING
Packed Bridgeport Casino in Anxiety to Consider and Decide on Course to, Pursue Regarding Long Deferred Wage Award

BRIDGEPORT-Th greatest ma chinists' meeting ever held in this city packed the Casino when nearly 5000 men met to decide about their future plan of action regarding the deferred award of the War Labor Board. The explanation of Samuel Lavit, business agent of the machinists, and the te1e- gram of MT. Walsh co-chairman of the War Labor Board, ironed out all of the difficulties and the men went back to their tasks patiently and con- fidently awaiting the long expected decision.
 The men showed their confidence in their own organization and their own publications in a gratifying manner. It is to be deplored that some of the business men are so short-sighted as to lament the efforts of the workers to secure little more remuneration when it has been demonstrated again and again that when the laboring men are prosperous the community like wise prosAers.
 Those who refuse to accept the decision of the War Labor Board will doubtless find their plants comman- deered by the Federal authorities. Every man or woman engaged in pro- ducing the necessary war material is urged to give the best that is in them with the assurance that the represen- tatives of the government will give them proper remuneration for their services. This action is due to the country and the result of the confer ence, it must not be forgotten, will be largely due to the efforts of the members of the Machinists' Union.
