Long Hill Closes
 Season of Lawn Parties

Carnivals, bazaars and lawn fetes have been in vogue this summer at Long Hill and Stepney but now the season is drawing to close and these affairs are also passing into oblivion for the season. One of the finest and largest lawn fetes, however, will be held next Saturday evening. It promises to be one of the most bril- liant affairs before the wind up of the season.
 The affair which will be held next week is to be given under the auspices of the Long Hill Catholic church and will be held on the church grounds. Some very entertaining novelties will be presented and some of the well known Bridgeport talent has been se- cured for the evening.
 Miss Catherine Daily and Miss Mary Kelly, two we'll known singers will entertain with numerous popular and classical selections. Miss Daily is a beautiful singer and with her strong tenor voice contrasted with Miss KeI- ly's soprano the duet is destined to make a hit.
 Miss Mary Dewitt of 755 Washing ton avenue who for years has studied under Miss Benita Slocum will favor the guests with several interpretative dances. Miss Dewitt is a dancer of renown and has played important parts in several local plays and musi- cal comedies. The announcement of her dancing comes as a pleasant sur- prise and it is a certainty that she will go over big

Labor Will attIe To Last Ditch
By THOMAS w. WRIGLEY

Chicago, Sept. 2.-"We'l re- sist to the last!"
 Such was the attitude of the Iegions of striking railway en- ployes t oday as preparations were begun to combat the dras- tic injunctions secured against the entire railway department of the American Federation of Labor by the United States Government.
 ghs fight will go on, leaders stated, sA spite of the court order secured upon petition of Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty in Federal court which, temporarily, at least, restraints the strikers with their leaders, from picketing railroad property, from seeking to secure recruits to thelr propaganda, either in meetings or through the press.
 Washington, Sept 2-Infamed and order ever issued by a court in an industrial dispute, organized labor today projected the menacing shadow of a general strike across the country in answer to what Samuel Gompers bitterly and contemptuously descrIp- ed as "government by injunction"
 Federation to Assemble.
 From being merely strike of some 100000 railway shopmen, en- dangering the transportation syst em of the country, the issue has now been ma gnified to the point where it threatens to affect all organized labor and engulf all business and industry, labor leaders privately declared to- day.
 The executives council Of the American Federation of Labor, rep resenting between 3,ooO,OO0 and 100000 workers, will meet in the national capital one week from today in what promises to be the most mo- mentous gathering of labor leaders witnessed in years. While the coun- cil has not the power to call a gem eral strike itself. it is the governing body of the Federation and its advice usually is taken by the rank and file of She Federation.
