PARIS, November 1.-THE fall of the
Painleve cabinet had been looked upon
as inevitable for some time. The causes
of its lack of power were varied. One
was the lack of participation in the
government by the socialists. These
at first preserved an attitude Of friendly
neutrality, but later they were vigor-
ously hostile to the cabinet.
Another reason was Premier Pain
leve's own vaccilating policy. For ex-
ample, Frances economic activity de-
mands the liberation of a certain num-
Der of soldiers. This should be made
according to age. but NJ. Painleve is
sued orders to lberate the soldiers ac-
cording to their trade. The result was
all the men mobilized considered it
right to demand their rehabilitation.
Three days later the premier was com
PEELED to abrogate this decision.
Forced M. Ribot Out.
Again, Premier Painleve imprudently
promised parliament to have passed a
law controlling the press. Failing
throughout various ministerial meet
ings to draw up the text OF sucn law,
he abandoned the plan. Seeing the
weak condition of the cabinet. NJ. Pain
leve decided to eliminate NJ. Ribot. the
foreign minister. to whom the cabinet
was hostile. NJ. Ribot refused to re-
sign and the premier was thus con-
strained to place the collective resig-
nation of the cabinet into the hand of
President Poincare. The president re-
fused to accept the resignation Of a
cabinet having a parliamentary major
ity vote. The ministers then handed
their portfolios to NJ. Painleve, who re-
formed the cabinet by retaining all the
members except NJ. Ribot.

More than 500 wagons, if each held

to the fact that a person or a family
may buy eggs or other foodstuffs anC
place them in the cold storage plants
for use months afterward.

SOME HOPE OF SETTLEMENT
Frank Morrison, Secretary of the
American Federation of Labor
Will inquire Into Failure to
Observe Promises.

Chicago, Ills May 2.-Negotiations
between Chicago's striking bakers and
the bread manufacturers have reached
deadlock and as result housewives
were forced to what amounted to wal
rations or bread and -four.
An inspection trip to groceries and
hospitals by DR.. John Dill Robertson,
city health commissioner, disclosed
that grocers were selling only about
two loaves of bread to each household
and -four only for immediate needs,
the maximum sales beng twenty-five
pounds.
With almost one hundred bakeries,
among them the largest in the city,
closed as a result of the strike and the
bread supply about 100000 loaves
short, the strikers apparently were
Lclinging to their original demands for
increasing wages, shorter hours and
the right to approve or dismiss baking
fol emen and the employers were firm
in their refusal to grant them.
Some hope of settlement was ex-

w. Childs, special United States dis
tIict attorney, turned their entire at
tention to the strike and its underly-

war measures are being violated

company, the men walked out with
thirty minutes notice after demanding
