City’s Gold War Bubble Bursts and Engineer Riley Rise
Edward J. Riley, once private secretary to WS Williams, has been promoted to master engineer in the American army, the highest non commissioned rank. He served overseas since May with the railway engineers in France and was involved in a Thanksgiving dinner menu tied to his unit. Bridgeport faces mass unemployment as wartime contracts end, with up to 25 000 idle workers projected. The city lost 7 000 jobs in one day at Remington and Arms, and the labor market may shift as orders cancel. The report also notes unrest in Guayaquil and news about airplane scouts replacing traditional methods for tracking livestock, with ongoing military and postwar adjustment concerns.
