Mayor Wilson and Bra dford D. Pierce, Jr., will head the respective forces when the bodies sit down to talk over in an informal. open handed, open hearted manner, the various ways in which closer CO., operation can be secured.
 This move has been in the minds of both politicians and Chamber of Commerce directors for sometime past, but negotiations for a, conclave were never successful until a week ago, when Seward B. Price bearded the mayor in his den and managed to patch up a satisfactory arrange ment.

 The warm weather the last two or three days and the relief of conges- ton on railroads and water traffic. 9 said a man in close touch with the Bridgeport situation this morning. would indicate that conditions in Bridgeport and the vicinity will be better very shortly.
 There Is one thing certain and that Is the shops in this city will not shut down as quickly as those in other parts of New England or even in New York city. We are in an advantage ous position as regards coal shipments and I confidently look for relief dur- ing the week."

mining company has ample ore in its
mines to keep up the same rate of
production of the last few years for
a period of twenty or more years to
come.

new mill which the company will
erect will begin early in the coming
