FOR AND AGAINST.
Some Workers Want Columbia Go.
 to Leave Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, Aug. 25.-Members of the Workers International Industrial union who are among the former em- ployes of the Columbia Graphophone company today in mass meeting voted not to endorse the letter drafted tn be presented to the management ask ing the company not 10 leave Bridge port. These former strikers number possibly 2,000. The others, or about 4,0OO. are affiliated with the Federa- tion of Labor. They will meet later in the day and are expected to err dorse the letter.
 Divided action. on the part of the former strikers, in the opinion of some labor leaders, makes uncertain the attitude of the company on the question of removal of the plant. IC had been understood that the cont pany's answer to the request of the former employees was to be deter mined by the latter's vote in mass meeting. The employees are in two factions, however, and if those of the industrial union insist upon a refusal to endorse a compromise agreement it may mean that the plant doors will remain closed.

states and the FL Paso shippers IS to
