 MACHINISTS HERE
All Action Under Eidlitz Award Stopped by Tele-

MANY POINTS OF
 DISPUTE REMAIN
Heads of Board to Come Here Monday for Rehear-
 ing of Entire Situation.

Upon receipt of the telegram from the National War Labor Board an- nouncing the reopening of the ma chinists' case in Bridgeport, all the machinery which the representatives of the War Labor Board had built up and set in motion for the arbitration of labor problems in this city, came to a sudden stop and nothing more will be done until the matter is threshed out by William Howard Taft, and Frank P Walsh, who are scheduled to arrive in Bridgeport next Monday.
 Alpheus Winter, the resident ex- anliner of the board, left for Wash ington today to consult with the mem bers of the National body about the Bridgeport situation so as to be pre- pared to assist in every way Monday when the heads of the tribunal get to- gether with the leaders of the ma- chinists and the manufa cturers in this city.

award Stanley H. Bullard, of the Bull lard Machine. Tool and Engineering company, said: T am at a loss to know what is expected of the manu- lecturers. I am sure we have rightly adhered to and in many cases have gone even further than the rules laid down for our guidance.
 Tt is true that the majority of the delegates elected by the workers of Bridgeport are not union, but then it is quite obvious that the vast major ity of workers are not union. As the matter stands I am now in a position where I do not know what Is expected of the manufacturer and have almost given up hope of ever being able to guess 1t.
 The only thing to do at the present time is to await the arrival of the joint chairmen of the board in this city and hear their final verdict, which I hope will put an end to this cease less uncertainty for good. We are, as we have always been, ready and more than willing to abide by our agree ments. This we have done to the limit and if our efforts have been without avail then we must await the final decision and in the meantime keep on turning out supplies for our men at the front as best we can."

 Every day tho great principles for which we are fighting take fresh hold upon our thought and purpose and make it clearer what the end must be and. what we must do to achieve 1t. We now know more certainly than we ever knew before why free men brought the great nation and govern ment we love into existence because it grows clearer and clearer what su- preme service it is to be America s privilege to render to the world. The anniversary of the discovery of Amer ica has for us in this fateful year, . peculiar and thrilling significance. We should make it a day of ardent rededi- cation to the ideals upon which our government is founded and by which our present heroic tasks are inspir- ed.
 Now, therefore I, Woodrow Viii son, President of the United States, do appoint Saturday. the twelfth day of October 1918, as Liberty Day. On that day, I request the citizens of every community Of the United States, city, town and countryside, to ceIe- brata the discovery of our country in order to stimulate a generous people to come forth for a Liberty Loan, campaign to be arranged through the Secretary of the Treasury, of the United States and the Liberty Loan in cooperation with the United States Bureau of Education and the public school authorities. Let the peoples response be liberal as the measure of their devotion as their ideals which have guided their country until now and of their determined purpose to defend them and guarantee their tri- umph.
 For the purpose of participating in Liberty Day celebrations all em- ployes of the Federal government throughout the country whose ser vices can be spared may be excused on Saturday, the twelfth day of Octo- Der for the entire day.

 Tracts.

With the American Army on the Lorraine Front, Thursday, Sept. 19- (BY the Associated Press)-Efforts made by the German High Command to counteract the effect of the Allies endeavors to express their war aims to the German people are evidenced in an or der from General von Hutier, which has fallen into the hands of Americans. The order, which attacks Lord Northcliffe !. as "rough-going rascal" fol- lows:
 '"The enemy begins to realize that ! we cannot be crushed by his block ade, his superiority in numbers and his force of arms. He, therefore, Is trying by trickery and underhanded methods of which he is past master to induce in the minds of the Ger man people doubts of their invinci- { biltty. He has founded for this pur- . pose a special ministry for the de- struction of German confidence. Al the head of this ministry he has put that most rough-going rascal of all the entente, Lord Northcliffe, who has been given billions for influenc. ing opinion fin Germany and at the front by means of paid agents. as- Nsassination of ambassadors, and in all other ways in favor with the entente methods.
 "Aviators constantly are distribut. ing increasing numbers of leaflets Letters written by German prisoner are falsified in the most outrageou: way. Tracts and pamphlets are writ ten to which names of German poet: writers and statesmen are forged They come from the Northcliffe pres which is working day and night fo this sole purpose. His whole though and aim is to place these forgeries il the hands of the German people.
 However, obvious they may ap pear to the man who thinks twice they may suggest a doubt, even fo a moment, in the minds of those wh' do not think for themselves and shak their confidence in their leaders their own strength and in the mex haustable.
