MEN WANT

Attorney Merritt Outlines
Position of Manufacturers
of This City.

Claiming that any classification
such as is desired by the machinists
and toolmakers would upset their en-
tire organizations the manufacturers
set forth their position as regards the
awards recently made by the govern
ment and asked that unless the Taft
Walsh board found it absolutely i'm
perative that it decide against this
classification. The representatives
of the machinists declared that such a
classification must be made in order
that the wages as determined by the
last government award be apportioned
correctly.
John ]. Keppler, vice president of
the International Machinists, spoke
this morning regarding the minimum
wage which the men feel must oe
established in this city. He claimed
that under the award it is impossible
to tell which workers belong in the
different classes and declared that the
War Department had not made any
thing clear on this subject. The
machinists and toolmakers want an
Interpretation of the award and Mr..
Keppler claimed that to be the pur-
pose of the last conference which
took the men from their work for
three days.
Attorney Walter Gordon Merritt
outlined the ideas of the manufac-
turers on the subject and said that
to attempt to put any general classi-
f1cation into effect at this time would
be nothing short of a calamity. Each
manufacturer has his own system vi
| classification and an arbitrary rule
would result in great complications as
we'll as make possibilities for great
misunderstanding. He declared the
manufacturers were prepared to show
that the wages paid were liberal and
fair and thatthey had kept pace with
the increased cost of living.
He stated that there must be a con

government needs and the test as fal

Joseph King. of Knowlton street,
had an alteration with man in the
yard of his home yesterday afternoon
during the course of which he was fir
on the head with a brick. He thought
nothing of the matter at the time be-
yond the fact that it hurt him Sc
verely, but at o'clock this morning
he became unconscious and. Dr. Ma.
thew Foley of the Emergency Hos
Lital was called.
Upon making an examination the
found that King suffered from a frac-

moved to st. Vincent's Hospital where
his condition is reported as being
serious.
Following closely upon the report OF
the doctor as to the mans condition
the police placed John Dciboshursky,

Both were arraigned in the city

tinued until July 6. Each one was
held in bonds of 81, 900.

The following statement was is
sued
THE navy department is informed
that the Belgian steamer Chilier was
sunk by shell fire from a German sub
marine about 1,40O miles at sea from
the Atlantic coast on June 21. Twenty
five survivors were rescued on June
II by sailing vessel. First intorma-
ton was received last night. &The
Chilier was a ship of 1855 gross
tons"
The Cilier was sent down in MIDI
ocean three days after the British
transport Dwinsk was torpedoed 700
miles from the American coast. 1t is
thought probable here that both yes
sells were victims of a German sub
marine or submarines returning to
base after raiding off the United
States coast.
No evidence of submarine activi-
ties near the shores of America has
been IHported since the steamer Hen
rik Lund was sunk 120 miles east Of
Cape Hatteras on June 10
Advices to the navy about the
Chilier were brief and did not say
how many if any of the ships COM
pany were missing.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-02

In the same period OF. 1917 there
we're 64 fatal accidents.
There were IS children whose age
ranged from three months to IL years
among those killed. In two instances
the accidents occurred outside the
state and were reported to the de-
partment because the cars were op-
Grated under Connecticut licenses. In
two other instances the operators were
New York persons and so far as the
control of the license was concerned
were within the jurisdiction of the
state of New York.
The new law enacted at the session
of 1917 was in effect during the en-
tire six months of this year, but dur
ing the corresponding period of last
year the old law was in operation.
The increase in registered motor We
hicles for the six months is about
$4,000.
