Union Of
 Policemen Improbable
Bridgeport Policemen Deny They Have Any Griev-
 ances to Adjust. NO INTENTION
 TO ORGANIZE

Complete satisfaction on the part of the police officers of this city as to their working conditions, cause it to appear decidedly improbable that a police union will be organized in Bridgeport. It has been rumored that the trouble among the Boston police has spread to this city. but the police men of Bridgeport themselves are em- phatic in denying that they have any grievances whatsoever or any inten- tions of forming a union.
 We are getting fair money, and we've got good jobs,' declared one patrolman recently. When we're perfectly satisfied how is there going to be any cause for a kick or the formation of a union?"
 This statement seems to express the sentiment of the entire Bridge port police department, and with such a condition. existing, local citizens are given no grounds to fear that their lives or property will be put In jeo- pardy by strike on the police force.
 Superintendent John H. Redgate stated some time ago, that he had not given the matter the slightest thought inasmuch as there was no apparent reason for even suspicion ing a union movement" among local police officers.

 GOODS SOLD MORE THAN YEAR AGO.

Another Danbury hating concern figures in a damage suit for s7,0O. which was filed this morning in the superior courto and returnable to the September term. Jacob Katz of New ark, \ J., brings the action charging that the Delohery Hat Company owes him a balance of s5.S55 for a bill of goods he sold on July 2. 1918.

 Policemen
Boston Prepares Itself In Case Regular Force Should
 Go on Strike. SPECIAL MEETINGS
 BALLOTING TODAY

Boston, Aug. 25.---Organization of an unpaid volunteer police force for duty in the event of a strike bX the policemen of the city was begun to- day by former Superintendent Will liam H. Pierce. As the nucleus for the emergency body it was announced that several former captains and lieu tenants and 100 pensioners of the force were available.
 Labor leaders today sent notices to 800 local unions calling for special meeting to ballot on the question of their position "in the event that the Boston policemen are compelled to strike to protect their rights to or ganiZe.' A score of local unions al ready have voted to stand by the po- licemen. Frank N. Mccarthy, New England organizer of the American Federation of Labor, said that while the policemen had not mentioned a strike as yet, any peace that comes must come with honor"
 The course of action to be pursued by the Policemn's Union is expected to develop after the trial tomorrow of officers of the Union on charges of disobeying department rules by join ing the union.
 The first man to volunteer for emergency police duty was Edwin H. Hall of Cambridge,

ALLEGED LABOR
 ACITAT0RS ARE
 "SAWING W0OD''

The time limit for the labor agita- tors in Bridgeport to leave town, as provided in the police ultimatum is sued last Thursday has expired. The men who were warned to clear out are still in the city, and the police have apparently done nothing to hasten their exit. It appears that the police will have to make some definite move in the near future if they wish to enforce their own or ders. Both sides were sitting tight today.
 When questioned this morning as to whether any new moves had been made against the agiJators, Superin- tendent John II. Redgate, of the po- lice department, declared that noth- ing new along those lines had been done. The superintendent would not discuss the matter further than say ing that nothing new had occurred. He refused to affirm or deny the re- port that Samuel Lavit is among the labor men who have been ordered to quit Bridgeport.

Accidentally Grasped Cable
 Alive With Electric Current
TWO WORKERS COULD NOT RELEASE HOLD
 SUFFERING SHOCK FOR , MINUTES.

Unable 10 let go of a short circuited elevator cable at the Saltrnan Build Ing in Water street, this morning, Harry Luders, 27 Lennon avenue, an employe of the company, was forced to suffer the 250 volt current coursing through his body for nearly five min utes while fellow workers found the main switch and cut off the power in the building. Myron Pdiehl, of F. r. D. No. 4, working with Luders, was in like plight as the result of try ing to free his companion.
 The elevator equipped with a start ing and stopping cable, not insulated, was at the second floor of the build ing when Luders and Pdichl entered to make a descent. The minute Lud- CTS touched tho short circuitcd cable he was held fast and Pdiehl was likewise situated. The power had to be shut off to release them.
 The Emergency ambulance was called and Dr. B. J. Burns found tho men suffering slightly from shock, not of a serious nature. They fully re- covered in Q short time.

BANK ACCOUNT
 DID NOT KEEP HIM FROM THEFT

Joseph Gaida, 19, of IFS East Main street, who was arrested Friday night, charged with stealing goods from a number of local business concerns, was bound over to the Superior court under s1,50O bonds, by Judge Wilder in the City court this morning.
 No cause for the young mans fall from grace can be discovered by the police. It is said that he has bank account amounting to more than s1,- 500, and was in no way forced to com init the thefts with which he is charged. The only possible reason for the burglaries, as near as the po- lice can figure. is the possibility that the young man desired more money in order to take a fling at the high life" Gaida is a former employee of the Columbia GraphOphone company, but he went out on strike when trouble broke out in that plant.

GERMANY IS STILL A
 MENACE ID FRANCE
 AND WORLDS PEACE
Senate Judiciary Comm. in Reporting on Spec ial Treaty Whereby America Would Pro- tect France Warns of Future Aggression.

Washington, Aug. 25-While Germany has been vanquished for the present, nothing but force is likely to restrain her from seeking world domination at the earliest opportunity" in the opinion of the Senate judi ciary subcommittee appointed to report on the validity of the proposed treaty by which the United States would go to the aid of France in the event of all unprovoked attack by Ger many.
 In holding that ratification of the special defensive treaty Is within the constitutional powers of the treaty making bodies of the American gov ernment, the subcommittee, in its report submitted today to the full committee said 1t was for the inter est of the United States that France be allowed to recuperate and recover her old time vigor.
 '-She will then" said the report, ''be a great shield and protection to us against the German menace in the future"
 The report was written by Sena- tor Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, in collaboration with Senators Nelson and Kellogg, both of Minnesota, and Fall, of New Mexico, Republicans, and Senator Overman, of North Car olina, Democrat. constituting the sub. committee
 ''It will be seen,' the report said, that the covenant only aims at pro- tection against Germany and that it is of a temporary character to be merg- ed in and substituted by the authority of the League of Nations when that is established and put into operation.
 "As the authority covers the ground between the end of the war and the ratification of the treaty of peace so the treaty in question aims to cover the ground from the time of the adop- ton of the treaty until the League of Nations, provided for in the treaty, can take its place. In other words, the treaty in question Is of a temporary character to be merged in the final treaty of peace.
 Such a treaty is clearly warranted by international law and usage and is therefore within the scope of the treaty making power of the United States"
