REJECT HUN ECONOMIC PACT

London, Jan. 3-Petrograd dis patches indicate differences developed at the first meeting there of the Rus sian and German commissioners for the discussion of economic relations The Germans desired to reach an understanding with the Russians re- garding regulation of railroad transit between the two countries. The Rus sian delegates strongly emphasized their unwillingness to go beyond the lines indicated in the armistice, and refused to fix regulations without precise definition as to what classes of persons and goods the railroads were to carry.
 The Bolshevik foreign minister Leon Ttrotzky, is quoted in an inter- view as having said the commission which is discussing prisoners was taking up only the question of civilian and invalid war prisoners. He said the exchange of ablebodied war pris- oners could be undertaken only after the signing of peace.

the needs of the front would be Satis- f1d. whatever efforts might be neces- sary.
 Russians generally favor Stock holm as the place for the peace con- ference, but it is said that the Ger mans are not willing to go to Swe- den.
 Articles and of the Austro- German terms, as cabled under a Brest-Gtovsk date by way of Berlin last Sunday, covered the ending of a state of war and evacuation of occu- pied territory. In article 3, however, it was declared that the people of Poland, Lithuania, Cour1and and DOT tions of Esthonia and Livonia demand independence and separation from Russia and that the German occupa- ton of Russian territory did not ap- ply to these districts, which includ- ed most of the Russian territory cap- tured by the Germans.
 The Bo1shevik foreign minister Leon Trotzky, declared today that the government of the Russian workers would not consent to the German l peace proposals.

SOCIALISTS ATTACK KUEHL LNAANN

London, Jan. 3-The situation creat- ed by the hitch in the Brest-Iitovsk negotiations, dispatches from Am sterdam refecting news from Berlin show, has aroused the activities of the rulers and politicians of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
 Emperor William yesterday re- ceived in joint audience Chancellor Von Hertling, Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, Gen. Won Ludendorff, Finance Minister Von Roedern and Foreign Secretary Won KUestmann. The foreign affairs committee of the German bundesrat, under the pTesi- dency of Count von Dandl, discussed the Russian situation at the chancel- 1or's palace. Chancellor Von Her ting had a long conversation with Admiral Von Tirpitz, the former. min ister of marine and Emperor Charles received in audience Prof. Huchar- zevski, the Polish premier.
 Foreign Secretary Von Kuehl- mann's return to Brest-Litvosk after a hurried visit to Berlin is said to have created surprise as did his con- ference with reichstag leaders who were summoned suddenly.
 Leaders of all parties were present at the conference, according to in- formation in Amsterdam, and they
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-01-03

informed Dr. von Kuehlmann that they adhered strongly to the demand that the reichstag be summoned as speedily as possible. It is expected that the demand will be discussed at Thursdays session of the reichstag in committee which Chancellor Von Hertling will attend.
 The feature of the conference is said to have been the outspoken speeches of Philip Scheidermann and F'riederich Tbert, for the official So- cialists and Hugo Haase, for the in- dependent Socialists They are cred tied with having told Von Kuehlmann that his attitude in the Russian ne- gotiations was prejudicial to peace, They told him that to say one day that Germany wanted no Russian ter ritory and to say the next day that it wanted virtually all territory oc- cupied by German troops justified En- tente statesmen in declining to place confidence in the word of Germany s leaders. The foreign secretary is said, however, to have made "com- plete explanations.
 It is reported that both Won Kuehl- mann and Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign secretary, return ed to Brest Iitovsk with new instruc- tions.

Continued from Page One)

Germany's apparent unwillingness to give Poland, Lithuania, Livonia, Courland and Esthonia the privilege of free definition is the rock on which the negotiations have split. Other peace conditions are ignored by the Bolsheviki leaders, who say Ger many opposes the most vital principle underlying the Russian revolution.
 In an, interview Foreign Minister Trotzky said peace negotiations prob ably would not be resumed at Brest Litovsk as the Russians oppose stoutly the principle of annexation.
 M. Trotzkys declaration was made before the central committee of the council of soldiers and workmen's s delegations during an address in which he denounced in scathing terms "Germany's hypocritcaI peace proposals asserting that the govern ment of Russian workers would not consent to such conditions. He said that if the Central powers did not agree to free disposal of the destiny of the Polish and Lettish nations it would be urgently necessary to de. fend the Russian revolution. He said

FIND JOBS FOR
 MEN LET GO AT REMINGTON SHOP

It was announced by the Manufac- turers' association today that the 2.5oD men laid off at the Remington Arms plant were being placed in other shops as rapidly as it was possible to classify them Every hope was held out that the entire number will be placed before the expiration of the week and all will resume work next Monday.
 When seen at the offices of the Manufacturers association, A. Teves, who is the employment manager, and assistant to Secretary F. A. Bennett, said: Of course it is a difficult mat ter to place all the men quickly, as they are used to the Remington ma chimes, but those among them who are all around mechanics, draftsmen, or tool makers, are at a premium and could be placed three times over. "All the others will be placed with out much difficulty, but it may take little time, because so many of them were working the proffling machines and drill presses only and others were working on rifle barrels. Until the machinery is placed for the making | of United States rifles there will be little chance of these men working at their old jobs.
 '(There is no cause for alarm, how ever, as we are finding jobs for every one, Today we placed 75 men with 1 Warner Brothers and another big | batch with the Automatic Machine company. but cannot get enough tool
 makers and draftsmen. These latter seem to be the most crying need o1 the manufacturers today and com mand the very highest wages"

BIDS FAREWELL
 TO HER E AMILY
 AND DISAPPEARS

Attiring herself in deepest mourn ing apparel and leaving a note in which she briefly bade her family farewell, Mrs. Thomas Roche, aged AS, left her home at 183 Pequonnock street yesterday morning, has been missing since, and is feared by rela- tives and police today, to have met with mishap.
 The woman recently lost a son, and it is believed that grieving over his death may have affected her mind. Two theories prevail as to the reason for her strange disappearance, one being that she left home with the in- tention of entring som asylum of rest, where she might forget her sorrows, and the other that she may have wandered away in an irrational mo- ment, and either suffred injury or done some harm to herself.
 Search for her is proceeding a1ong both lines, and detectives this morn ing made inquiry at hospitals, sani- tariums and other like institutions in and about this city, but without success. Relatives have been con- municated with, also. in the hope that she may have gone to visit some of them, and word is anxiously await ed from them.

SCRAPS OF MEAT
 TWENTY CENTS \ POUND IN PHILA.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3-Investig gating the business of dealers in meat waste the federal trade commission today heard testimony of W. s. Allen, an official of the M. L. Shoemaker Co.,. dealers in butchers scraps and re- fuse, and independent renderers and dealers in fertilizers. The witness made the charge that the Amercan Agricultural Chemical Co. attempted to force his concern into a price fix ing agreement and when it refused, declared war which since last May has cost the Shoemaker Go. 50,000.
 MT. Allen testified that E. J. Mur- phy of the American Co. in Septem- Der extended the olive branch and when the overture was refused he threatened to "put me out of busi- ness" Mir. Allen said that Murphy acknowledged that the competition had also cost the American Go. about $50,O00. He produced letters from Murphy to the effect that the latter's s concern is paying 20 cents a pound for butchers scraps in Philadelphia, six and seven cents in New York and only half a cent pound in Detroit.
 Twelve witnesses have been sub poenaed and it is expected that the hearings will continue for several days.
 The examination of witnesses was conducted by Francis J. Heney spec ial counsel for the commission, who said the investigation here would be confined chiefly to the meat busi- ness.
 ''The investigation in Boston," said MT. Heney, fairly developed the fact that there is a combination which has for several years largely controll- ed the meat waste business in New 1 England. We are here to see how far the same or similar combina- tion is controlling the business in PhiladeIphia."

THE BOLSHEVIKI POLICY

\ URTHER REPORTS from Russia indicate hitch in the 1 negotiations between the Bolshevki and the Kaiser. The difficulty the question of what rights politically sub ordinate naonaes shall have in the direction of governing enselves-
 is thus international principle that makes the diff cuty rather than difference strictly national question
 In this connection it will be well to bear in mind that the Bolshev political philosophy is not national but interna tona The doctrnaires of this regarding the working classes of all countries brothers purpose and in political needs They concerned quite much with the status of the world working classes with the status of Rus sia-

What Is Concrete?

Concrete-a manufac- tured stone-is made by mixing together Port land Cement, sand and stone Cor gravel.) Var ious proportions of each are used, depending upon the use to which the con- crete is put. About half an hour after mixing these materials together, the mass begin to stiffen, until, in from half-a-day to a day, it becomes so hard that you cannot dent it with the hand. By a month the mass is hard like stone-indeed, hard CT than most stones.
 We have many book lets relating to concrete and cement work which we would be pleased to send you.

A Petrograd dispatch to the Post says a very large proportion of the German war prisoners and a still larger proportion of the Austrians will return to their fighting fronts only under comDulsion. They have not been confined in prison camps, but have lived among the people, and everywhere have proved their worth in agricultural, industrial, commercial and even artistic pursuits Many of them are getting on better than they did at home and are more than con- tented to remain in Russia.
 Furthermore, it is improbable, the dispatch says, that Germany desires the return from Russia of a majority of her war prisoners. She will get back the officers and noncommission- ed officers in any case, and many of them already have returned. But for both Germany and Austria, the dis patch continues, it is a sounder policy to regard the rank and file of these men as the advance guard for con- 1 mercial conquest.
