Labor Conditions in Brideeport.

Bridgeport, Aug. 1S.-Industrial labor conditions were nearer normal today than in many weeks. The Bry- ant Electric Co. employees were back at work as it was voted so >on Sat urday. The only strikes now in force are those at the Remington Y ost plant and at the Columbia Grapho- phone Co. In the latter instance as the company has announced that it would move it's plant elsewhere the labor difficulty in the opinion of many is not now strike. There was noths ing new in the dispute among the machfnists. E. c. Davison, grand secretary of the I. A. of M., was out Of town and Samuel Lavit, deposed business agent of No. 80 lodge, had nothing to say. It is believed among the machinists that the ending of the strikes will lessen the interse feeling which has prevailed for many weeks among the union members.

Investigating Strike.

District Attorney Martin of Bronx county today began an investigation of reports that strikers told policemen that they, did not care how long the strike lasts because they were being raid any, way and that certain loyal employees who reported for work yes- terday were told by officials to leave the railway yards because a strike was in progress. The prosecutor declared that if the reports were true he would call an extra session of the grand jury to conduct an inquiry. City officials who have charged that there was col Wsion between the Interboro company and its striking employees to obtain a fareA crease by the strike said they fegarded as significant the fact that no attempt had been made by the company to operate any of it's subway or elevated lines since the strike was called

HUNS MILITARIzING CONTRARY ID TERMS
Police Forces Are Trained h. fantry Companies Disguised

Coblenz, Aug. 16 - (By Associa ted Press) The militarization of Ger man police contrary 10 the terms of the peace treaty already has been begun according to information preaching American military sources In the city of Cassel the police were recently completely organized on military lines by the Prussian gov ernment, it is said, are now equipped with steel helmets and rifles and fol- low the routine of military com pany in their barracks. Of the 300 state police in office in Cassel 100 have been elected to be transferred to the new organization and the re- mainder have been given places in the civil service.
 The ultimate size of the new mili- tary police organization has not been announced. Americans studying the the German army say that the signi- ticance of militarizing police in Ger bany is great.
 Americap officers have records of an announcement that the Prussian state government, quite apart from the national government was to or
  state police force, throughout Prus- sia which would be virtually mili- tary units in garrisons with full in- ~fantry equipment but would be under control of the minister of the in terior and used only for the repres- Sion of internal disorders. These troops according to the plan were to be quite apart and in excess of the army permitted Germany under the terms of the peace treaty.
 A semi-official announcement, however, states that these troops are not permitted under the terms of the peace treaty but the hope is expressed that the Allies will be reasonable and per mith their organization. The Cassel incident, it is contended by Ameri- can officers, occurring long after the treaty was signed but before the AL lied and Inter-Allied commission on military control of Germany had be- gun to function, shows that the Prus-' sian government is proceeding to or ganize a military force trusting the Allies will not take any action against it.

WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

Wall Street, 10:3O A. M.--Develop- ments over the double holiday, in- cludjng the Mexican situation and the local traction strike, accounted main ly for the heavy tone of the stock market at the opening of todays ses- sion. Declines of 1 to almost 3 points extended throughout the general list, oils, equipments, steels, motors and tobacco proving most susceptible to pressure. High class rails also yielded, but shippings were irregular. InterbOrough Rapid Transit and In- terborOugh Metropolitan were frac- tionally lower with Brooklyn Transit.
 Wall Street, Noon. - Unsettled conditions prevailed throughout the morning on nominal dealings. Several early losses were temporarily recover ed, while the few initial gains gave way under renewed pressure. Trad-S Ing again was marked by the absence of public interest, except for liquida- ton of long stock. Local utilities were steady at opening quotations. Feeble rallies were succeeded by fresh de- clines at noon selling concentrating 9 in steels. equipments, shippings and to- baccos where initial reactions were ex- tended. .5
 Wall Street, 1:30 D. m.-The mark ket rallied slightly again at midday probably on the easier call money rates with no discrimination against industrial collateral Improvement was short lived, however, fresh selling in larger volume causing another and more sweeping reversal among lead- CTS.
 Wall Street, close-F'urther ease of money reflected another slight rally later in steels, equipments, oils, mo- tors and shippings. The close was weak. Sales approx1mated 1,250, 1000 shares.
