ALLIED TRADES
 ORDER SYMPATHY
 STRIKE OF CRAFTS
Ccontinued from Page one)


 John Morgan, general organizer for the National Brotherhood of Carpen- ters, and who has been the represen- tative Of the Brotherhood in Wash ingten for the past IS months, was in Bridgeport this morning, MT. Morgan, in going over the local sit nation, claimed that the Cauidwell- Wingate Go. are merely using "ca- moufage' in claiming that the gov ernment has charge of the govern ment work in this city,
 '"The U. s. Housing Corp. could net separate the carpenter work from the balance of the projects now under the charge of the CauldWell-Wingat Go My authority for this statement Is 8 conversation which I had with Rob- ert Watson, of Washington, who is 8 representative of the Secretary ot Labor. No one part of the contract can be taken from g. firm,
 If Otto Eidlitz so desired he could end this controversy in a. very short time, His official affiliations with the members of the Master Builders as- sociation in New York are SC great that he personally could end the whole affair"
 He saidi we have 8 sworn state- ment from one of the men who was induced to come here from Werces7 ter, The statement was sworn to 1 before Irving Elson, Notary Public of Bridgeport, and states that the man John A. Cox, a machinist by trade Sn1 pany to come to Bridgeport to work as carpenter. He told the agent that he had no knowledge of car pentry and the agent promised him 80 cents an hour. The agent also claimed that the work was strictly government work, and that there was no strike or labor trouble in Bridge port connected with it.
 There is a law in Massachusetts, which forbids the misrepresentation of any labor situation, and that any persons or firms making such state, nent are liable to prosecution. Never, theless an agent made such a state. ment to about 75 returned soldier: in Worcester and induced many o1 | them to come here under false pre. l tensss."
 Martin Kane, business agent of thu Brotherhood of Carpenters said thi morning that only about 191 carpen ters were working on the governmen houses. "Of these" said MT. Kane there are about 30 at the Grassmer, project, 20 at the Crane lot, 5I a l Brewster street and 40 at Boston ave nue and Connecticut projects. O. these the larger part are unskiileC men, and have very little knowledg of carpentry. Many of them are for eigners and can not even speak Eng | fish, and some are aliens.
 1 W. S. Parker, government superin tendent of construction in Bridgeport when asked the effect of the walkou of the bricklayers and fathers, said We will suffer very little tnconyeni ence from the strike. The work il the various projects is so far alon
 that our greatest need now Is for car pentsrs and the inside men. We hay over 500 carpenters now at work and the strike really does not matte very much. We do not look for an
 further walkouts, as the men now a
 work are perfectly satisfied with con

CARRANZA'S TALK
VIII Not Recognize the MoHroe DOC
trine-Seeks No Admission
to World League

to World League
Mexico City, Sept. 3.-A defense
of Mexico against foreign represen-
tations, particularly from the United
States, regarding the lives OF ror-
eigners and their property, was con-
tanned in a message from President
Carranza read at the opening SEES
sion of Congress Monday night.
In the message President Carran-
"a asserted that Mexico did not ask
admission to the League Of Nations
because, he said, the League aid not
establish equality for all nations and
races. He reiterated That Mexico
iad not and would not rec0gni%e the
Monroe doctrine.
Regarding oil Hesitation, tn: res
sare said the Government was VII"

LEAVES. PLAN OF BATTLE
Wilson Will Throw Whole Force
Against Plan to Equalize

The amendment to the peace
treaty adopted by the Senate For
cign Relations Committee which de
mands for the United States the
same number of votes in a league Of
nations as have been awarded to the
British Empire is proving an enlbar-
rassment to Administration sup
porters of the treaty, it was said
last night.
President Wilson summoned Sen
ator Swanson to the White House
for final interview before depart
ing on his transcontinental trip,
andand impressed upon him the ne
cessity of having the amendment
beaten. 1t is believed that all the
weight of the Administration influ-
ence will be thrown against the
amendment.
When Senator Swanson left the
White House he said that the Pres
ident gave him no specific reasons
why he opposed the amendment. 1t
is possible that Senator Hitchcock
may say something about it in the
speech which he is. to deliver today
in the Senate, voicing the Presi-
dents opposition to amending OF
radically reserving Judgment on the
treaty.

There was no opportunity to qucs-
ton him further as the stage manager
demanded her presence. Maynard lent
his aid in arranging her tahleau which
represented Belgium. and assisted in

her. the hushed audience nowhere in

her gallant French lover in the tolls

Maynard halted near one Of the
wings out of sight of the audience to
watch the tahleau. A sudden draught
of cold air caused him to look around
and he saw Marian Van Ness just
emerging from the circular staircase,
which gave access not only to the
dressing rooms under the stage, but

alley. Marian did not pause until she
