CharIesown W. Va, Aug. 31.-State forces and an armed band came to- gether in the mountains near Blair, Logan county, this morning, according to dispatches received at the office of Governor Morgan. Beyond the state ment that there had been firing from both sides, the governors office an. nounced, there were no details.
 Hundreds of miners this morning were Swarming into Marmet, ten miles east of here, where the first army for the march into Mingo as- semb1ed. This report was brought here by a man who pushed through Marmet today.
 The miners were moving out as fast as they came in, he said, going in the general direction of Boone county. Practically all were carrying rifles or other arms, he said.

For the second time in three days, self-confessed bigamfst was ar raigned in the city court this morn ing. He was Henry Charles Heiss- mar of SS Central avenue. After Wa1v1ng examination, he was bound over to the September term of the Criminal Superior Count under boonds of s2,O00.
 Young Heissnar, who is a hand some blonde youth of IS, is charged with being married to two Bridge port girls. His first marriage, per formed under an order of court, took place on November 27, 1919, when he was but Is. years old, to Gertrude Stevens, 19 years old. of Beechm ont avenue. Robert Mccullough, a jus tice of the peace and a policeman at the time attached ito the prosecuting attorneys office, performer the cere- mony.

Civic Association In Eighth District
 Stratford, Has Stormy Meeting

The proposed Civic Association in the Eighth district organized and dis organized last night at the Eli Whit ney school, in stratford, in a near being all that the phrase might infer, and in which little harmony was shown between residents of var ious sections of the Eighth.
 When the meeting was called to or der at $50 by Elford Clark, there were 72 persons present who thought they knew what they had come for. but before the assembled throng got minor technicailitfes of parliamentary law, showing il1-feeling toward one another, and finally got down 10 the real business at hand all but 54 had shown enough wisdom to start for home at a respectable bedtime.
 The obvious purpose of the gather ing brought about through the efforts of Elford Clark of Windsor avenue that of F. Vanderbilt, and a tempor- ary secretary, Frank H. Strausberger, and a few others who helped doctor up the bylaws used by the Seventh District club, was to select a candi- date who would be the unanimous se- lection of the club for councilman. This is deemed necessary to defeat another alleged element, who are be- Ieved to oppose the council-manager form of government.
 If there is such an element, the meeting of last night will be a great help to them. Before the meeting was a minute old George Thorley got the floor and showed antagonism to Clark, whose presence in the chair was questioned. An hour was lost in appointing a temporary chairman.

Food Prices Are On Upward Trend While
 Wages Continue To Go On Downward

months would be marked by con- tinued increases. He pointed out that during the period from July IS, 1920, to July IS, 1921, the percentage de- crease in articles of food combined was 32.
 The slight increase that marked June, Ju.y and August are more than offset by the big declines of 32 per cent. during the year period, Stewart said. and this was the only ray of hope he held out to those who pay the family bills.
 In a statement of wage reductions during the current year, Secretary Davis stated that a study had been made in about 800 representative plants which had been chosen as char acteristic of general industrial condi- tions.
 Five hundred instances of wage reductions were discovered in 750 plants by the National Conference Board, the secretary said. These in cluded textile plants in various parts of the country, the cuts taking place between September 1, 1920. and May 6, 1921. The average reduction was 20 per cent, but in some places sev- eraI five and ten per cent. cuts were recorded.
 .sOn the basis of the ten hour dssv," the secretary pointed out. 'ullshilled Ia bor will average three dollars a day as against s5.O6 for the same amount of work in. February. 1920.'

Attempt At Suicide Is
 Prevented

Only the fact that a member of the family detected the odor of escaping gas, prevented what is believed was an attempt at suicide last evening by Mrs. John c. Kerr. formerly of Washington, D. C.. who has been making her home with relatives iv- ing at 65 Grassmere avenue, just over the town line at Ash Creek. Upon smelling the escaping gas brother of the woman rushed to her assist ance, turned off the gas, opened the windows and doors. and called the Emergency hospital.
 The woman was upon a bed. and every evidence would indicate that she meant to commit suicide When Dr. Kornb1ut responded with an am bu1ance the patient was given first aid treatment and then removed to Hill side Home for observation. Encour- aging reports were given out this morning that her condition is en- couraging and that she is expected to recover. No report of the matter had been made to Deputy Sheriff W. H. Gould of Fairfield. or pr. w. H. Don- ahson, medical examiner. up to noon today.

Chamberof CommerceH las Completed
 Arrangements For Three Day Drive

The plans for the Chamber of Con- merce's three day campaign to sell trees and shrubs to the house owners of Bridgeport are complete. W. H. said today that he expects to sell at least $5,ooo worth of shrubs during the days of the sale. What he is par ticularly anxious to do IS to have little most decorative shrubs and vines cost and how greatly they inn prove the appearance of a house. The idea of setting aside a short period made to sell plants and trees to the citizens of the city was instituted last year by the Chamber of Com merce, at which time 1000 trees and 5000 shrubs and vines were disposed of. MT. Ham outlined the campaign today as follows:
 'tThe plan of tree campaign for this fall Is a comprehensive one. The sale Special booths for sale of trees.shrubs and vines will be erected in D. M. Reads, Rowland Dry Goods store, Bridgeport Public Market and the First National Bank of Bridgeport The women who were successful in selling Liberty Bonds and War Saw ings Stamps will undertake the pleasant duty this year of beautifyins shrubs and vines. Everything will be carried out in a businessIIse man. ner and purchasers may either do the planting themselves or have the work done by the nurseryrnen. Arrange ment has also been made to furnish loam where required for proper plant ing.

Washington. Aug. s1-Food prices today are on the upward trend, while wages continue to go downward.
 These facts, representing a prob lem for the average American worker in a period of great unemployment, were made public today by the De- partment of Labor,
 Secretary of Labor Davis disclosed today that wage cuts in 693 repre- sentative industrial establishments with 4,50O,00o workers. total1ed 15.9 per cent during the first eight months of the present year, Reports to the secretary, indicate that the downward trend of wages has not yet been reached.
 Ethelbert Stewart, chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. who IS in charge of the collection of data on living costs. stated today that while figures on food costs for the month of August are not yet completed, that incomplete reports show that the cost of living has been higher during the present month, than it Was in July. Partial reports indicate, Stewart said, that the average family has paid more for food in August than in July, and the July reports showed that liv- ing costs during that month were nearly per cent. higher than in June. Stewart refused to comment on the reasons for the mounting prices, nor would he predict whether the fall

Authoritative Statement On

Sunday night. September 4, at the Casino, Thomas F.

Arrangements for a monster mass meeting at which MT. Murray will deliver his message were made at a meeting of Ethan Allen Council, A. A. R. I. R. at Varuna Hall, last night, and additional features of the pro- gram are now being provided. The of f1cers of Ethan Allen Council state that they are of the opinion that ac- counts of the negotiations in cable dispatches have given rise to many misconceptions even among friends of Irish Independence, and their object in arranging the meeting is to show clearly the Sim Fein side of the re- cent developments to the general pub lie. For this reason they have made admission to the mass meeting free and have announced that everyone will be welcome

, As a result of this order one op- orator, Jacob Shirdwindt of Ss3 Myr- tie avenue, together with a passenger armed with a membership card and trip tickets was taken into custody at Main mad John streets at 11:45. They were booked at headquarters and will be tried tomorrow morning.

 The action was taken by Superin- tendent of Police Patrick J. Flanagan at 10 o'clock this morning after studying the decision of Federal Judges Edwin L. Thomas, Martin IT. Manton and John c. Knox The de- cis1on, which was made known late yesterday afternoon, upheld the con- stitutionaIity of the Connecticut jit- ney Jaw, and refused the application or the busmen for an injunction to. restrain enfOrcem ent.
 The law is now plain enough '' Supt- Flanagan said, this morning, af- ter he issued orders for busmen to stop running. '<The jitneys must stop, and we must stop them. The driver of every bus in the city has been personally notified to take his machine off the streets as soon as he discharged his passengers. Failure to comply with such orders will re- suit in immediate arrest, irrespective of person or place.
 The order, which literally sounded the death kneI1 of jitneys in Bridge port after a valiant fight for existence was executed without the least disor- der or disturbance. The orders of Supt. F7ana gan were irnparted to the jitneymen by police officers stationed at the start and terminus of every jitney line in the city. as we'll as by
