PLANS OF ELECTRIC
 COMPANY
At Full Production It Will Employ 7,5OO Hands-Not Expected That It Will Reach Its Maximum Production for Eighteen Months Removing the Rem /; Machinery.

Just as a big motor on the New Haven road starts g. long train of freight cars so slowly at first that their motion is hardly perceptible and then gradually and smoothly Increas- es the speed until the train ia in full motion, so in a few weeks the huge .plant of the General Electric Company will begin production on very small scale and keep steadily increasing it until some time in the future, perhaps Feighteen months or two years from now, the plant will be operating on a full capacity basis.
 When the General Electric Com ipany took over the Remington plant its thirty-six acres of floor space were occupied with the machinery which had been used by the Rem ,, ington people and was of course use less to the Electric company About t65 per cent of this floor space has Tbeen vacated and it will all be va icated sometime during September. tNot only is it necessary to remove tho machinery but the shafting as well for the General Electric uses Individual machine drive altogether ttnstead of the group drive used by the tRemingtons.
 The Bridgeport plant of the GSn- teral Electric company will manuflc-
 
 i. horsepower motors and wiring sup hplies. About 70 per cent or the plant twill be devoted to the motors and |the other 30 per cent to the wiring supplies. The small motors are us led principally for washing machines, vacuum cleaners and general utility purposes. special drive is being made on the washing machine motors for which there is a large demand Of 1v-eIo iotx of xUa h in ,achines on the market. the majority lare equipped with General Electric motors. Under the head or kwiring supplies are included attach tment plugs, snap switches, enclosed Efuses and renewable fuses. Produc- !tion will begin first on the wiring Lsupplies.
 Of the tools and machines needed ffor the wiring supply department 75 tper cent are on order, AS per cent Ehave been received and of those re- lceived TO per cent are already in- hstaIled. In the motor division 50 per Lcent of the needed equipment is on sorder, a third of that on order has tbeen received, and oN that received t5O per cent installed.
 When the plant finally reaches full production it will employ some :7,5O0 hands. Of these the wiring isupply division will have 2,5o0 with tabout 65 per cent of them female fThe other 5000 will be employed in ;the motor division and will be about
 60 per cent female. Nothing but su. tpervisory help will be brought here from other plants of the company.
 Besides the Bridgeport plant now Fbeing equipped the General Electric company has plants in the following places given in the order of theil size. Schenectady, Lynn, Pittsfield Erie, Fort Wayne, Bloomfield, Koch ester and Decatur. The Bridgepor
 works will rank fifth in floor space and fourth in number of employees

DRIVE ON PEEK -A-BOO
 MALE BATHING SUITS

Those bathers at Seaside Park of the male species who have sought to out do the women in the wearing of one piece bathing suits and who have not been living strictly up to the law in regard to bathing attire had better look to their appearance more care fully in the near future if they would escape the wrath of Officer Harold Sherwood, who is the official bathing suit censor at the Seaside Pavilion. Officer Sherwood announced this morning that vigorous campaign against the 'tpeek-a-boo" artists would start immediately and those who fail to heed his warning will run a foul of the law. The women have been living up to the law in good style of late," said the officer, 'tbut either the men have become jealous of the publicity given the ladies re- garding one piece attire or are just plain jealous-at any rate war has been declared against the male bathers and if they are wise they will heed the warning"

MEN RAID SALOONS
 FOR SAMPLES

A dozen or more Federal Prohib1- ton Enforcement agents working un- der the direction of Chief Prohibition Enforcement Agent Mccarthy, chief of the New England Division with headquarters at Boston visited town this morning and in a series of raids on local saloons confiscated a large quantity of near beer" and tested 1t out to see if it was within the law. It was learned that the agents mostly confined their investigations to the near beer' and had been checking up on the breweries. The agents when seen this noon would not say whether they had made any arrests. Chief Mccarthy is expected to arrive in this city late this afternoon when tests of the beer confscated this morning will have been completed and the violators apprehended. Mum erous saloons in the mercantile dis trict of the city reported visits from the agents this morning.

DEMOCRATS FAITHFUL
 SAYS FITZGERALD
Especial to The Times. )

(Spec1al to The I1meS)
 New Haven. Aug. 19.-When asked for statement on the ratification of the Suffrage Amendment, Mayor David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven said:
 What can I say except that it is what Connecticut Dem ocracy has been working for for the past ten years We have been back of this matter for the past ten years and in all sim cerity Our efforts have not been merely surface ones like those of the Republicans who have been favoring suffrage for the past year merely as 9 matter of political expediency.
 "If the inner workings of the Re publican leaders Ilans could be brought to light it wonld have been found that their attitude, some for and some against. was merely to keep the people guessing.
 .The Democrats have and do be- Ieve that women are entitled to par ticipatio in affairs of state and the making of the laws from a political standpoint. Women are just as in telligent, just as broad in their con- ception of public matters, have as great a vision of affairs as men
 "It is a matter of justice and of paying to woman the tribute due her. I4Connecticut Democracy has always favored suffrage and for the past five years have included a rlank in it's

Say Walsh
 Will Beat Mayor Here
Anti-Wilson Forces Are Confident That Greenwich
 Man Will Win.

Hopes of the anti-Wi1son forces in Bridgeport, who are said to be back ing James Walsh, of Greenwich, for governor, took a. big rise last night and some of the workers declared to- day that the mayor will receive a hard beating. Wilson men retained their confidence in fhe mayors chances for success, but had little to say today concerning the coming primaries con- Vention.
 All of the members of the old Re- puh1o an machine in Bridgeport wh o nave "kicked over the traces, ar; turning their support to Walsh, who has been cl, sen by the upstate pol iticians as the man to drive we1ge into the 1otal- organization. W1:h fbe bridgeport f. otIon divided, and a ::oa- jority of the 7..tm5bers backing Walsh. it is apparent that the up-staters may
 meet with success in at last downing Mayor Wilson.
 The mayor was not in town today, having left Bridgeport yesterday on a short trip in the state. He is ex- pected to return tomorrow morning in time to enter the final round of the fight before the primaries to- morrow night.

ssR( REPUBLICANS REF OF STATE MUST BEAR THE BLAME''

Hartford, Aug. 19-"The outstand- ing thought in women's minds today is thankfulness and relief said Miss Katherine Ludington, president of the c. w. S. A., after receiving news of Tennessee's ratification of the Federal Suffrage Amendment We shall inn mediately turn our attention to pro- viding schools for the new women voters and making plans for the for nation of a League of Women Voters.
 "As to which of the major parties did the most toward our enfranchise- ment. l suppose there will always be controversy which can only be settled by an accurate study of their records over a great many years
 "One thing is c1ear-that at the last both parties contributed to put ting ratification through in Tennes- see, and thus finally met the acid test of sincerity which suffragists have been holding before them.
 For a long time it looked as if neither party wanted us voting -ip November. This deadlock was brok- en at last When we learn which side broke it, we shall know which party actually took the decisive step in our enfranchisement.
 "As to Connecticut-The leaders of the Connecticut Republican party have remained obstinat tely and un- compromisingly opposed.
 Ut is due to them that we Con- nect1cut women must always remem- Der that we owe our enfranchisement to Southern men-that we have come into the electorate by a back door with no act of welcome or honor on the part of the men of our own state. When our legislature meets to com plete the details of odr they will undoubtedly ratify-but this will be graceless act with none of the significance which it would have had if Connecticut had been the 36th state. And the members of the legislature will remember that they owe this unjust position in which they find themselves to the leaders whom they have repeatedly put back in power. The Republican party of Connecticut must bear this responsi- bility. Their opportunity has passed and the story is ended"
