LOOKING FOR WAR
 ON .JlTNEY SERVICE

Following the announceme ent made by Superintendent Frank l.. Kiblins of the local Connecticut Company's lines last night that trolley service on North Main street between Went worth street and the Bethany chapel would be discontinued after June 30, rumors were going the rounds this morning among prominent citizens and some public officials that this was the first step in the war upon the jit- ney service with the intention of put ting them out of business in this city.
 There are more jitneys operating in Bridgeport at the present time than in any other city in the state and it has been admitted by trolley officials that the many people who favor rid ing in the jitneys in preference to the trolleys has struck the trolley com pany hard and has been the means of them suffering heavy financial losses.
 Charles G. Sanford, trustee of the Connecticut Co.,, refused to affirm or deny the rumors when asked about the situation this morning as did MT. Kibling, both saying they had noth- ing to say at present The appoint ment of a manager of the local lines still remains mystery, no successor having been appointed to succeed Joseph S. Goodwin, who resigned on June 15. Commenting on the resig- nation of MT. Goodwin a prominent lawyer of the city said this morning that the resignation of Goodwin was really the first move in the campaign that is to be waged in driving the jitneys out of business.
 According to the runners going the rounds this morning it is planned by the trolley officials to take steps al

LAY-0FF WILL
 NOT EXCEED OVER 5000

1t was said by competent au- Gority, this morning, that tlte tataI number of layoffs in Bridge port, since the Graphophone Go. reduced it's force, and including the Graphophone workers, will not exceed 5000. The Locomo- bile Co.,, which recently has changed hands, is shut down for two weeks for inventory. This concern will be buster than ever when it reopens after taking stock.
 The manufacturers can't ship out their finished goods, and have difficulty in getting raw material, because of the labor disturbance in railroads and oth- CT branches of transportation.
 The decline in the wool and clothing industry has affected markets somewhat and has pro- duced some cancellation of or ders, but the disturbance from this cause is not very great, measured against the whole coun- try, and is small in Bridgeport.

 proval of President Wilson.
