Telephone Labor Dispute
 Takes More Acute Form

"Tclephone subscribers in Bridge port will swap stories and do business face to face instead of over the wire unless the trouble between the oper- ators and the company is soon set tied" said Miss Teresa Sullivan, to- day.
 Miss Teresa M. Sullivan, Of New Haven, Eastern Organizer of the Tel ephone Operators Department of the International Brotherhood of Elec- trical Workers, and Miss Ethel Keefe, president of the Local Union, made their report last night to the meeting of the Union, held at Machinists' hall.
 On Wednesday they reported they had a conference with District Traffic Superintendent Moore ct the New Haven office of the S, N. F. Telephone company, in which MT. Moore said that he would look into the cases of the two Bridgeport operators who had. been suspended, but that nothing could be done about the four other girls as he had already accepted their resignStions and that the matter was closed.
 AS to the claim of the union that members of the union were discrimi- mated against, MT. Moore said there had been no discrimination, Miss Sullivan said that there was discrimi- nation and the fact that nine officers of the union had been discharged by the company for no other reason than that they were officers in the union was conclusive proof thai there was discrimination,
 These nine girls, Miss Sullivan said, were among the most expert opera tors and supervisors in the country, some of them having had ten years experience,

ANNUAL JUNIOR-SEN|OR
REVELS IN HIGH SCHOOL
Pupils Display Originality In Prepa-
ration of Program for Evening
Reception to Faculty

The snow which carpeted the hills
and valleys last Friday bringing Joy
to the farmers and the farmers kid
dies was the cause of deep lamenta-
tions amongst the High School pu-
pills, as their Junior-Senior program
on which much time and thought had
been bestowed was scheduled for
that evening.
There we're many, who lured by
the advance hints as to some of the
features of the evening, braved the
elements and admittd that they were
we'll repaid for the discomforts of
snow and mud The entire evening
was one of surprises as the geniuses
of the classes We'd with one another
to add novelties to the program. The
guests were clad in overalls and ap-
rons and assembled in room nine
where each was given ticket bear
ing the figures of the rooms they
were expected to visit 1t was ar
ranged that certain number of peo-
pie be in the same room at the same
time and the ringing of bell was
the order for immediate transfer to
another room, each room presenting
entertainment of some kind, in one
playlet entitled "The train to Mau-
vo" with Priscilla Crowley as the
leading lady and Don Berry and
John Bucham in the cast proving to
be one of the hits of the evening.
Blindfolded the guests in another
room were called upon to blow out a
candle, run races with an onion on a
spoon and were in imagination TAX
en- through the air In an aeroplane,
the bell sounding their release.
Miss Charlotte Towle displayed
originality In the management of the
conundrum room and gave out ques-
tions that taxed the. faculties OF all
who entered.
One of the most humorous num-
bers OF the evening was the opera
ton room with Zelda Reed as pre-
siding surgeon, Goldie Marsh as
nurse and Rita Berry as patient.
The audience saw only the shad-
ow on the screen. the doctor deliver

FROM OVER SEAS SERVICE
His Artillery Brigade In Action al

like of which has never before been
placed before the world
And Harold Swingle the returned
soldier Is another example of the
modest youth who followed the col
ors into the domain of the Hun.
By dint of much urging partial
account of his movements since
leaving here is given herewith:
He was attached to the Artillery
Brigade. 3rd Division and for time
was on the Mexican border where
there was little to stir the blood of a
youth who enlisted for war and in
April the Brigade sailed from New
York landing at port in France and
left for camp where they remained
five weeks in training.
They were ordered to Chateau Thi-
erry where they arrived July II and
went in. as the term is used mean
ing to battle, on the night of July 13
and on the following day the Ger
mans put over what was declared to
be the heaviest barrage fire of the
war since the battle of Verdun, it
reaching back distance of ten
miles. The first and second bri-
gades were badly shot up he said
and failed to get in. the barrage last

next day.
On July i5 and Is the Germans
attacked in mass formation, the AL

able 18th of July the Germans ad-
vanced with the expectation of find
ing only the bodies of the dead, but
their knowledge of the presence of
live Yankees and French, came too

heavy loss in killed and captured.
On August Is the brigade formed

September / all movements of troops
were at night only, the days being
devoted to rest, and from St. Mihiel
the brigade left for yerdun front
marching for nine nights and on this
front they remained until the last of
September suffering another barrage
on September 26, it being near this
point that the Germans blew up a
bridge on which the troops were
about to cross.
Swingles brigade relieved the
91st Division and during the several
months he was overseas he was
either in action or his brigade was
held in reserve, his rest coming in

Dear Sir:--In your issues of De

The policy being pursued at Ia

your editorial and from reports
which reach me, Is the same Is q
which has been pursued on all Gov

coIIingswood Man Hangs Around
Station and Telegraph Office In Hope

"Charlie" Fults is anxiously haunting
the telegraph Office and the railroad
station at Collingswood. n. j., these
days waiting for word or sight of the
girl he hopes to marry, Miss Neralaria
Harris, of Minneapolis.
He sent her $50 by postal money order
after she wired him she hadn't re-
ceived the first fifty he sent. He has
never seen her, having been introduced
by mail through a matrimonial agency
last fall, but he has infinite faith in her
sincerity. He just fguratively kicked
himself because he hadn't registered that
first money he sent or asked for re
ceipt and was more careful in send
ing the second amount.
Fults lives with his sister, Mrs. Aaron
Shooster, 50 East Madison avenue. He
is known as the "handy man about
Collingswood and does everything from
whitewashing cellars to cutting grass.
He and his fiancee were to have been
married at the Methodist parsonage in
Collingswood, but he learned that con
tracing parties must have lived in the
state not less than forty eight hours
before they can be married in New Jer-
sey. So he has announced the wedding
for Saturday in Elkton, Md.

Mrs. Dorothy Ferguson. !:
n Awarded Cross-Husband
Rescued Soldiers

The Distinguished Service Cross will
be given Mrs. Dorothy Ferguson, of
3713 North Sixteenth street, whose hus
band, First Lieutenant Joseph S. Fer
guson, Jr., was fatally wounded in
France two days after he checked an
attempt made by the enemy to halt the
American advance in the Argonne.
General Pershing cited Lieutenant
Ferguson after he had marshaled a
small force of Americans and captnrcd
twenty German officers and more than
a hundred enemy soldiers whose ma
chine gun and anti tank gun fire had
temporarily halted the American ad-
fvance.
n Two days later, on September 2S.
sof last year, the lieutenant was shot
Through the neck by sharpshooter' S
bullet when he was carrying wounded
man of his company back to the trenches
after an attack. He had already res
:cued three of his men.
Lieutenant Ferguson died two days
later in hospital.
Mrs. Ferguson has been notified she
will receive the Distinguished Service
Cross awarded her husband by General
sPershing. A letter from the War De-
4 partment to the soldiers widow explains
his heroic action.
Lieutenant Ferguson had been gassed
IN previous attack. In letters written
to his wife he stated that he had many
narrow escapes, bullets tearing through
his hat and clothing on several occa
sions.
II do not believe the Germans make
"a bullet that can kill me-" he wrote
shortly before he was fatally wounded
Up to that time he had been on thu
front line sixty-thre days.

as Fighting Joe" and ''Fergy" anon,
