STRIKE BREAKERS MOVE CARC0ES;
 SOLDIERS HELP
Believe Crisis Reached In Longshoremen's
 Struggle

New York, Oct. 21-A crisis in the strike of 10000 New York long shoremen was reached today. The International Mercantile Marine, which has 40 ships tied up in the port, put strike breakers at work moving cargoes, and 500 United States troops began work in dunga- rees at army piers where transports to and from Europe have been held up.
 Army officials made 1t plain that troops brought here from Newport News would be used solely as work men at army piers and would not ap- pear at private or shipping board docks. Heavy police guards. however, were on duty at other piers.
 The strikers, who yesterday walked out of a conference of conciliators at City Hall because they object to Paul A. Vaccarelli as one of the concilia- tors, were invited to attend a mass meeting at Tammany Hall late to- day by Mayor Hy1an a member of the concfIiation committee appointed by Secretary of Labor Wilson. Many members of the strike committee as- serted they would not attend the meeting.
 Mayor Hy1an viewed the situation enthusiastically, declaring that 5000 longsh horemenf employed on the Che1- sea piers would return to work dur ing the day. He also said oilers, scalers and other shipyard workers had promised to go back to work, pending a settlement of their griev- aOcas

VVHEELBARRON BURGLARS LOOT HOME OF CHARLES ". FAIRCHILD
 TAKING RUGS, SILL YER AND BEDDING

One of the stPahg gest eases of freak burglary that has ever been brought to the attention of the Bridgeport po- lice occurred last night when thieves entered the uHoeeHpied residence Of {he late Charles W. Fairehild in Mich ols, and made off with rugs, silver ware and bedciotfleS valued at sev- Rra1 hundred dollars, It is believed that the robbers carried their loot away in an automobile truck.
 The robbery was discovered early this morning by Mrs. Charles W. F'aiFehiid, JF., who lives next door to the bafgiafized residence. Mrs Fair child noticed that one of the kitchen windows in the house was open, and upon investigation she found that the building had been entered and thor pughly raHsaeked from top to bottom.
 The burglars evidently entered the house by lowering the top sash of a kitchen window. Once inside they IeeA their tiHas iR FeBevias ths va1-

SENATOR SAYS ()NI0H
 LEADERS ARE TENDING
 TOWARDS D0LSHEvISM
Asserts Demands of Bit luminous Coal Miners Are Tnordinate-Wan ant Collective Bargaining to Have Regard For Public Welfare.

Washington, Oct. 2i-Un- ionsm under it's present lead ership was attacked in rne Senate today by Senator Frel- inghuysen, Republican, New Jersey as a "new autocracy tending toward Bolshevism."
 Criticising the demands Of the bitu- r1inous local miners for a five day week, and increased wages, Senator Frein ghuysen, who is chairman Of the Senate committee investigating the coal strike, called upon American public opinion to scotch a movement which he feared would result in class government.
 The New Jersey senator said the demands of the miners, half of them aliens, were "inoTdinate" and could not be granted as they would result in decreased production and an in crease in price to the consumer of from g to $2.50 a ton.
 'Ts the United States ready to be dictated to by these men ?" he ask ed.
 The time has come to put an end to this new autocracy," said the sen ator. Unless this intolerabIe condt- ton can be rectified; unless some means can be found to prevent inn the remedy of making labor amen able to the same extent as capital to the laws of the United States.''

 FURTHER RIOTS
 ON HUN OPERA
Not Sure New York Has Right to Bar German
 Music.

New York. Oct. 21-Decision whether the city government has the right to suppress opera sung in Ger man in New York until after ratifica- tion by the United States of the peace treaty rested today with corporation counsel Burr, following riotous scenes last night when former ser vice men tried unsuccessfully 10 pre- vent the presentation of Die Meis- tersinger'' at the Lexington theatre. Mayor Hylan sought an opinion from MT. Burr after reversing an early de- cision banning the opera.
 Coincident with the mayors move, the mana cement of the opera an- nounced that steps would be taken through the courts, if necessary, to assure the continued presentation or German masterpieces. The manage ment stated that last nights pro- gram was in the nature of a con- cert and that the real opening of the German opera season was scheduled for tonight
 Further rioting tonight was anti cipated if the scheduled performance was permitted.

What the Traffic
 Committee Said

Walter IaShar and other mem bers of the Traffic Committee re- ported on March 3, 1919, to the following effect:
 That the car service of the trolley monopoly is entirely in- adequate.
 The increase in fare from five to six cents is useless. The mon opoIy will derive no financial ben eft in Bridgeport from such all increase.
 As a substitute for the in- crease in fare the Commission recommended car service with cars not less than five minutes apart on any line, and three minutes on main lines.
 For this service the Cornrnis- sion recommended the instaIIa- don of 50 one-nlan, safety cars, as used in southern and west ern cities.
 The committee finally recom- mended such steps and measures as would bring the above recom- mendations into effect to give the city adequate street car service for a five cent fare.
 If Mayor Wilson. beginning on March 8. had fought diligently for this program, it would not be necessary for him at this time to send feeble protest to the Public Utilities Commission against the zone system. with it's enormous increase in rates for riding on trolley cars.

retention of the discharged teacher was flatly rejected, and the other. which called for an investigation and hearing on the school management was put off with a promise of atten- tion at a later date.
 This settlement was evidently un- satisfactory to the pupils and many Of the parents. The students arrived at the schoolhouse on scheduled time this morning, and after presenting an ulttmatum to the principal left the building. The scholars seem to have taken a firm stand in the matter, and according to their own story, will absolutely refuse to return to their studies until Miss Spring has been reinstated in her old position. The strike of the pupils is giving the School Board considera ble food for thought today. but it is expected that the matter will be cleared up satis- within a very short time.

 The. milk people are still figuring, MT. Horton explained.
 Also that the milk companies in this city want to effect a con1binatio was evidenced by the testimony present. ed
