(. Of (. Approves
 Neuhoff's Ideas
 To Boost Business

At meeting of the Chamber of Com merce Retail Board held yesterday Je- rome c. Neuhoff who recently charged in an open letter to Mayor Atwater that the city and the Chamber of Commerce were not encOura ging man ufacturers to locate here discussed a plan by which Bridgeport may obtain some new industries in the future.
 MT. Neuhoffs idea is to select 9 committee of five interested citizens of the city whose duty it would be to report at intervals to the association of citizens by which they were select ed. There would also be a committee of five members of the Chamber of Commerce who would procure funds for the purpose of advertising through a drive. This committee would also try to secure legislative acts to grant free taxes for Q limited period to new organizations
 Some of the other duties of the committee would be to prepare a list of all desirable sites and vacant facto- ries, said list to be sent to every fac tory listing rea1tor in the country Of fering the realtor a bonus for bringing } factory to Bridgeport. To obtain the list and follow 1t up which was re- ceived by the Chamber of Commerce -Wo years ago asking for factory space and find out why these factories did not locate here and if possible induce them to come now.

with the officials. Nevertheless, there are signs that soon or late the dream of the famous trades union leader, Karl Legien. of a solid front of all workers, employees and officials will be realized.
 The dominating note in the life of the free unions is class war. This. however, does not mean 'iwar'' in
 every case. With these unions, too, strike is the ultimate means for the realization of just demands. They will not resort to strikes until all possibiIi- ties of negotiations have been ex- hausted.
 The "'workmen's comnunities'' did remarkable work during the demobili- zation of the armies immediately after l the war, and the results of that work had far-reaching influence upon the l life of the nation. It was in that stage | of German history that the trades union gained a decisive influence upon | the shaping of the destinies of Ger
 many,s economic life. It was then. too,
 that the communists took up the bat | tie against the "workmen's communi- ties. However, the destruction of the
 trades unions ordered by Moscow | could not possibly be carried to sue
 cess. Slowly but surely the com
 nunistic influence Is yielding to the
 realization among the workers that
 only one policy can be successful, l namely, that which is based upon l actual conditions.
 The guiding aim of German trades
 unionism is to convert the existing i social order into a socialistic order. But today conditions are such that the workers must bend all energies to-
 ward preventing the living conditions | of the working population from be- coming still worse than they already are.
 The free trades unions of Germany are the unshakable rock in a raging sea. They are united and determined and they compose a well-trained and disciplined army.
 For that very reason the protection of the Republic is in good hands. They
 proved in March, 1920, that they are
 equal to the gigantic task. As long as the unity remains unshaken the life
 Of the German Republic is secure | against all attempts

F'edorka called the police by te1e- phone, and then opened fire on the marauders. A splintered door was the only result, and the men had vanished when the police arrived.
 A system of fire prevention, and inspection, similar to the effective plan carried out in Bridgeport, was decided upon for Stratford at the meeting of the council, last evening.

1.-THE BAT" DRAWS
PLEASED AUDIENCE
AT THE VIRGINIA

The Twin Cities have advanced by
virtue Of the opening Of the beauti-
full Virginia Theater. This view is
held by every person attending the
grand opening Wednesday evening.
Observation-Disclosures as difficult to tell
one who has not seen the new play
house as to realize the story of the
several blind men who tried TO de-
scribe an elephant by the part they
felt.
To the lover of architecture We are
sure that the Italian style is very
pleasing to the eye, and the Spanish
renaissance decorations Of the interior
done by master painters - are
works of beauty and art. To the low
er of music the Virginia offers a YER
table treat, the orchestral and organ
music blending in pleasing harmony.
To the lover of drama and the silent
art, the Virginia will present only the
highest quality, as evidenced by the
opening play-The Bat--a mystery
play filled with thrills from start to
finish.

open SHOP" METHODS
As PRACTICED IN THE
PACKING INDUSTRY
AN INC Federated Press


Oklahoma City. - By giving"
strikebreakers food and clothing, the
cost of which must later be deducted
from their pay, the packing plant
managers here are declared TO have
contriyed an excellent system to keep
unwilling workmen in legal peonage.
Roy Smith, colored worker, import
ed from another city, who ran to the
pickets for protection when he learned
the facts, revealed the workings of
the system as made manifest in his
case.
He was promised Somewhere be-
tween "a and 81 cents an hour He
said the manager assured him that
food and clothing to be provided him
were to be free" When Smith,
learning strike was on, asked to
leave, he was told that he could not
get his pay, and that, anyway, if he
ventured out, the pickets would kill
him. When finally, Smith was paid,
he got $3.17 for 2la days work.
THAT'S all you get" Smith said they
informed him, in reply to his protest.
"You got one pair of wood shoes and
your meals and room, so we just took
it out of your pay"
Other strikebreakers had been
"given" larger quantities of clothes
and could not leave until they worked
off their obligations, according to
Smith, for the clothes were high and
the pay low. Rifles and revolvers
were quite evident in the plant, the
negro asserted.

BOON TO WORKING MAN.
Fight Film Affords Opportunity for
Wage Farmers to Witness Great
Battle at Nominal Cost,

Thousands of working men and wo-
men, lovers of the manly art, who
were prevented from witnessing the
great international contest between
Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpen-
tier, due to their inability to meet
the heavy cost attached to trip of
this character, can take advantage of
the rare opportunity of witnessing
this great battle on the movie screen
at the Colonial theater all next week,
starting on Monday. The pictures ac-
tually and faithfully portray every
move of the fighters while in the
ring from the tap of the gond of the
opening round to the finish, when
Carpenter is carried helpless to his
corner in the strong arms of his con-
queror, Champion Dempsey.
You will be thrilled with the realism
of this wonderful picture. You will
imagine yourself at the ringside, one
of the 10000 cheering mob, and you
will be thrilled just as they were
thrilled ON that memorable afternoon
in Jersey City.
