the knowledge that hundreds Of sticks

the strikers, authorities are confro nted
by the most serious situation they have
had to face since the strike begun.
Labor leaders today predict that the
state federation of labor in convention

Whiteman Tells Problems.
Councilman c. H. Whiteman was
then introduced and outlined some of
the main problems now before the city
council. Mr.. Whiteman said that the
leading difficulty or problems facing
this council as well as other councils
of the state was the matter of finance.
Il a city has plenty of funds there are
comparatively few problems, but when
the people are kicking at first one
thing and then another, the council
is up against it where to begin ano
where to stop. He said that the city
of Walla Walla was expecting its
ciuncil to "ciothe a large woman when
there is only enough cloth on hand to
make swaddling clothesN Then he
went into some of the direct problems
now under discussion in the city coun-
ell, namely the sewer system, the paw
ing of public streets. the question of
a water reservoir. and the old ques-
ton of cleaning up the city. Mr..
Whiteman is heartily in favor of hav-
ing all these improvements realty

 FOR CONTEMPT
Especial from United Press.)


 New Haven. March 29.-Rev. ErnestL. Wisner, pastor of the Dav- enport Congregational church of this city, appeared before Judge Wolfe, in common pleas court today, to show cause why he should not be adjudged guilty of contempt of court.

 DEMOCRATIC
 VERY RAPIDLY
Princeton President Says Day is Almost at Hand When Party
 Must Win.

New York; March 30.-The political tide is now turning Democratic and the day when the Democratic party must take charge of this country's af- fairs is almost at hand. were declara- tions made by Woodrow Wilson, pres ident of Princeton University, in a speech at the Democratic dinner in Elizabeth, N. J., last night. In this connection he said:
 ttI do not mean of course, to be guilty of the egotfsTn and audacity of putting forth a program of specific measures, but I do think 1t possible to state in very definite terms the char acter we should wish to give to legfs- 1ation.
 ''In the first place, we should wish not merely to curb the trusts, and above all we should not wish to regu- late them in such a way as will make the government itself. We should wish to square their whole action and re- sponsibility with the general interest, regarding them not as objects in themselves but merely as conveniences in our economic life and development. Recent proposals of regulation have looked too much like a wholesale in yasion by government itself of the field of business management.
 'tIt is irnperat1vely necessary if gov ernment is to be kept pure and inn partial that it's officers should not themselves be made partners or man agers of the great corporate enter
 
 served. Our regulation of public in terests must be legal regulation and not direct mana cement. It is bad enough to have the modern overgrown corporations to restrain and control. It would be infinitely worse if they were combined with government it. self"
 About the, problem of the high prices of meats and foodstuffs, Presi- dent Wilson had this to say: we are told that the present extraordinarily high prices of commodities of all sorts is due not to the tariff but to the fact that we are not producing enough to keep up with the daily demand. and that this is par6cularly true, with re- gard to the things we eat and have daily need of. Take meat. for exam pie, and see what the truth is. The truth is that the meat trust has been able to control the meat market to such an extent that scores of ranch men have been driven out of the cat tle-raising business because it was un- profitable. The short supply of meat is due to the monopoly created by the meat trust. It is true. there fore, that the supply is short conn pared with the vast demand, but it has been made short by the operation of a trust unQuestionab1y fostered by the legislation of the government, and I dare say that the same might be shown to be true with regard to the grains.''

The executive board of the Bridge port Visiting Nurse association is sending out an appeal for aid. It asks those addressed to show interest in the work by making an annual contribution.

Their du- ties are to render such. personal aid to the patient as the case demands, make the surrounding as sanitary as possible and to instruct some mem Der of the family in the care of the patient until the next visit of the nurse.

A nurse has beeh at work among them for some time. The services of one nurse are, however, entirely in- adequate. We are now appealing to the citizens of Bridgeport to help us in this work and to so assist this new organization that it may enlarge it's field of usefulness to include the
 many who are suffering but who can not be reached unless such help be given.''

MORE RUAUS TO BE OILED.
Highway Commissioner Will Extend
 the Treatment.

To the selectmen of the 16 towns in the State where the highways were oiled last year, Highway Commissioner Macdonald has sent a circular letter, suggesting that pending the delivery of the trap rock which is being de- 1ayed, a road scraper should be used to restore to the path of travel such screenings and top dressing as have been carried over to the shoulders. This treatment, the commissioner says, will help to keep the moisture in the road until the arrival of the trap rock which is needed for repairs and 1t will also form a cushion for the stone when applied. The State will pay three quarters of the expense.
 The commissioner says that it is his purpose after the splinters have been applied to treat the roads with another application of oil as to keep the dust down during the summer. The system Of oi1ing which was carried out in only a few towns last year will be conducted on more extensive scale this summer. the commissioner says.
