 Mr. Cotton stated this morning that as far as he knew the Connecticut company had never hatly refused to pay the s7O,00O due the City of Bridgeport and intimated that if the city should receive a check for the amount they would be forestal1ed in their efforts to bankrupt the Con- necticut company, bring about re- organization and the i've cent fare.

Get Clothes By New
 System
Better Service Through New Scheme to Collect for
 Laundries

Householders who send the weekly assortment of shirts and collars to the laundry with an awful suspicion that the garments will come back all shot to pieces will be much relieved to learn that the Laundry Owners association of this city has taken steps to provide better service.
 Notices were sent to customers to- day stating that a new system will be started next Monday. In the past, the statement reads. over 60 per cent. of the patrons have sent their work to the laundry on Monday. This re- suited in the laundries being deluged with work in the early days of the week. The employees became dissat- isf1ed and poor service resulted.
 The new plan provides for an equal ization of the work throughout the week. Each day certain amount of work will be brought to the various plants and a certain amount deliv- cred to patrons. Each laundry will divide the total number of calls on each route into five equal parts. One fifth will be collected each day be- ginning Monday and ending Friday. There will be but one collection and one delivery each week. Patrons will be told what day and hour the work will be called for and the bundle must be ready, otherwise father and the boys must buy new collars at 25 cents each until the laundryman calls the following week.

 Guided by the experience of the last conference, I have thought it ad- visable that in this new body there should be no recognition of distinct i've groups, but that all of the new representatives should have concern that our industries may be conducted with such regard for justice and fair. dealing that the workman will feel himself induced to put forth his best efforts, that the employer will have an encouraging profit and that the public will not suffer at the hands of each class. It is my hope that this conference may lay the foundation for the development for the standards and machinery within our industries, by which tn .se results may be attain ed.
