Not to Take Places of Men But to Increase Munitions Necessary for Victory. !, War Workers From Out of Town x Must Be Housed! Many homes In Bridgeport have two rooms that could be fitted up for light housekeeping for the benefit of some WAR WORKERS. Think this over and list them with the United Btates Homes Registration Service, 301 Fairfield Aie. Phone Barnum 7140. This service Is FREH INCORPORATED CUTF1TTERST0 MEN WOMEN &CHSLDRE5) BRIDGEPORT. CONN- To the Women of Bridgeport: The United States officials and the manufacturers of Bridgeport, after canvassing the local situation thor oughly, have reached the conclusion that there" is a shortage of labor in our factories of at least 10,000 hands. Since 80 per cent, or four-flfths of all of the production of all of our factor ies relates to munitions, the output of our factories Is absolutely essential to the supplying of our Army and Navy with that constant stream of supplies and equipment upon which our success In this war depends. Our government proposes In 1919 to have an army in the field of 4,800,000 men. That will take from two to three times the number of men we already have In the Army. That means that the man power of Bridgeport will diminish by as much as the new drafts take. With the Increased Army our country will need greatly increased armament equipments and supplies, and Bridge port must increase her output greatly. We shall need probably from 20,000 to 30,000 additional hands in oflr fac tories. We cannot supply these In any very appreciable degree from the man power of the country for the drain of men in every section is about equal. We must get this help from our women. Those who are unem ployed must join that great army of patriotic women who all over the country are going to work largely in essential industries because their country calls them. The women o: England and France heard the call and they rushed to the colors. It is estimated that fully 6,000 000 women in the kingdom of Great Britain art- engaged in whole time work, most of which is essential to the war. In three years 621,000 women were added to the payrolls of England's munition factories. One of the eminent publicists of England only recently said, "The spirit in which these women have come for ward to take the place of men is be yond praise. They have been a steady ing influence in trade disputes. They have shown the utmost courage in moments of danger or panic. Many of them are doing, either exceedingly hard work or extremely monotonous work. Their physical endurance has equalled their powers of nervous re sistance to disease. Their morality has been superior to that of men." This is a very modest tribute to the work of the women of England In this war. Had the women of England and France not taken up this work which the men: had left when they went to the front the war would havo ended long before America entered it What the women of England and France did our women will do. I believe there are few places In the United States where the men and women are more ardent In their pa triotism than In Bridgeport. Our women see that German ascendency would place the women of the world where she was generations ago, and the tales of German atrocities and their unspeakable acts of cruelty have awakened our women to the fighting edge. The women of our country and In deed the men of this generation never before knew the meaning of patriot ism and love of country. It has come over them in tnese late aays with overwhelming force that this great conflict down at bottom was to decide whether justice and mercy and love sTNuild still rule In this world. The women of the country and especially In Bridgeport have done wonderful work in all sorts of war activities. Those of us who have been sd fortunate as to be in a place Where we could witness this work have marvelled at the capacity, the efficiency, the patient endurance and the unflagging enthusiasm of our women. I have no doubt the women of Bridgeport who are unemployed and who can, will go in our Industries and do their best. ; And I have no doubt that thou sands of our Iwomen who can give three or .four hours a day will go In our industries and give part time. Many of our factories can arrange for these part time women and in this way the wheels of our Industries will be kept going.: It must be understood that It will frequently occur that a woman by go ing in unessential industries will help just as much by going in essential in dustries. She may thus release other labor to go in direct munition work or a man to go to the colors. All of our industries must be kept working to the limit of the demand, for in this way only,; can the community be kept prosperous and hence contented, and as our communities and all other communities of the country are pros perous those :who prosper can and will support the government and help pay the stupendous cost of this war to us. One other things should be noted. The purpose of securing women help in munition making and in non essential industries is not to displace men but to supply the vacant place which cannot be filled by men be cause those who could hay filled the places are abroad, fighting our bat tles. General March says we have one and three-quarters million of men abroad. They heartened the French and' British troops find oilr victories had their Initiative with them and they have forced Germany to begin her antique peace drive. They are on the way to the Iron mines of Briey and to the fortress of Metz. They want our guns, our small arms, our ammunition and our supplies, and they ask our women to make them for them. Women of Bridgeport will you do it? In order to know Just how many women are ready to work and what avocations our women have had ex perience in, a census or registration of all the women in Bridgeport, be tween the ages of 16 to 60 will be taken on Tuesday next. This registration will be made fcy the Minute Women of Bridgeport. One or more of these women will call upon you and secure your answer to a few simple questions and your an swers will be recorded upon a card. We shall expect every woman to as sist the Minute Woman who calls up on her, by answering freely and speedily the questions asked. These questions have been approved by the Government officials and by us. We have instructed the Minute Women to keep a record of all women who either refuse te answer or answer only in part and report this to us. We shall consider such conduct disloyal.
