DOR0TITORY FOR MEN.

The Connecticut Co. has provided dormitory for its conductors and motormen who are working on the late shift, in the Logan building at Congress street. A great deal of time is saved by the men, as they do not have to go from their homes at an inconvenient hour, when there is no method of Transportation.
 Rumors that the men have been working twenty hours a day is denied by the officials of the company ai- though they have been troubled by a scarcity of help since the beginning of the war.

OFFICIALS SEE
LITTLE CAIN in
CzERNIN SPEECH

Washington, Jan. 25-Based on the
short cabled outlines Of the speeches
of the German and Austrian premiers
to their respective parliaments, the
opinion is expressed by officials here
that no substantial advance toward
the final peace sought by all belliger-
ents has resulted from these declara-
tons.
It Is true that expressions Of Count
Czernin, the Austrian premier, appear
to be more conciliatory in tone than
previous utterances from that quar-
ter, but beyond vague statements that
the possibilities of peace, negotiations
are contained in address of President
Wilson and Premier oyd-George,
there is no suggestion of surrender
of any of the extreme contentious of
the military elements in the Central
states.
The German premier's address in
deed Is couched in the language of a
victorious general and it is noted that
nowhere does he specifically abandon
the claim for indemnity and territory.
In fact, from the cabled abstract it
appears he has become even more
incorporating and miNtaristic in his
position than he was when he as
gsumed office and first addressed the
Lreichstag.

NO SHORTAGE OF
FACTORY HANDS
SAY UNION MEN

New Haven, Jan. 25-George F.
Mordeca, as president of the Connec-
ticut Federation of Labor, and Ira
NJ Onburn, as president of the New
Haven Trades Council, today issued
a public statement to the effect that
there Is no labor shortage in the state
and alleging that while appeals are
being made for women to enter NUM-
ton and other plants, hundreds of
men are refused employment.
The statement is a reply to what
has been termed a periodic appeal
to women to take places in Industrial
plants. 1t is pointed out that there
is no objection to the employment of
women provided they are placed on
the same standards as men who oc-
cupy Ire positions and receive the
same scale of wages. It is claimed
that 40 per cent. of the mechanics
needed in munition plants of this city
are among the unemployed.

If SHORTAGE OF
FUEL CONTINUES

to Administrator Siemon declares its
present supply Of soft coal will last
only to January 80.
These letters with many more that
are expected and a statement from
each coal dealer telling exactly the
amounts of coal on hand will be sub
mitted to Washington officials by
Siemon as final proof the Bridgeport
situation is not being exaggerated.
The domestic situation was relieved
today by the arrival of three barge
loads of hard coal, approximately
1000 tons, which will keep 5000 of
the city's $4,000 families supplied for
one week. This coal was received
through the activities of the retail
dealers, according to Siemon, who
says he has yet to see any coal sent
here through government direction.
In addition to the amounts of coal
already donated for domestic use,
DeVer H Warner of Warner Brothers
Co., also president of the Bridgeport
Gas Light Co., has turned over to the
fuel committee a large quantity of
coal, which will be sold at the Spruce
street yards at IS cents for bag
of 1875 pounds. Distribution starts
tomorrow at o'clock and will stop
at IL, but will resume at II o'clock
and continue until 4 o'clock.
Superintendent of Police Redgate
reported to Administrator Siemon to-
day that he was already to receive
the bonds of rs street peddlers to be
appointed by the committee and issued
orders to the force to keep a close
watch for violations of the committees
orders. Each peddler is given a spe-
cial appointment and must post a
500 bond before he is entitled to sell
coal on the cfty's streets. In event
of violation, both bond and appoint
ment will be forfeited.
Many anonymous complaints of pr1-
| vate boarding are being received by
the committee, but will get no atten-
ton of the committee. Chairman Sic
mon invites complaints, but desires
signatures, which he vouches will not
be divulged.
The administrator instructed the po-
lice today to watch delicatessen stores,
which he said are violating the
o'clock closing order.
No replies to the telegraph COM
unications sent to Washington last
night had been received at press hour.
In addition to those sent another was
telegraphed today by the mayor.

distantly placed on a line practically
parallel to the horizon; to the north
ward, a little higher in the sky, is the
reddish Betelgeuze, to the southwark
the brilliant star Rigel. All these
stars are of the group Orion. The
first mentioned three stars are the
famous Belt of Orion, the star Betel-
gueze marks the hunters right Shout
Ger and Rige1 his left foot. Hang
ing from his belt is the jeWeled scab-
bard of the sword, marked by the
fainter line of stars running off from
the southern end of the belt in the
general direction of RigeL
If your eyes are sharp and the at
mospheric conditions particularly
good, you may notice that one of
these stars in the scabbard is a bit
bazy; it is a nebula, the Great Nebula
in Orion, than which no finer sight
is revealed by the astronomers tele-
scope. If you have even a small in
strument at your disposal and turn
it upon this object, you will be amply
rewarded by the view Of a cloud-like
mass, itself family luminous and cas-
lily distinguished from the black back
ground Of the sky beyond. In the
area occupied by it are many small
stars, among them a group of four
called the Trapezium, which very
likely may be intima tely connected
with the structure and development
Of the nebuia and its possible evolu-
ticn into system of planets and one
or more suns resembling our own.
The rudcy BetelgueZe is a star of
the first magnitude which, from its
spectrum, is probably at very ad-
vanced stage of development; further
along than our sun, it is probably
what we may call a much colder"
star and may be nearer its cosnic
death" Rigel, on the other hand, is
a young" pure white star and the
fifth brightest star visible to US. Ri
gels intrinsic brilIiancy is not less
than ten thousand times that of the
sun.

what actually caused the explosion.
The Pardy Co. superintendent re-
fused to state the amount of the ex-
plosive contained in the can, but it
was learned that if the thawing had
been in progress for any length of
time the entire section would have
been wrecked as the container held
several sticks of the deadly explosive.
The dynamite was to have been
used in blasting a foundation for the
new building.
Immediately after the explosion the
police of the Second precinct were
notified and Policeman Daniel J. Ryan
was detailed to the scene. He found
much commotion, especially among
the foreigners, who had run into the
streets fearing that other explosions
would follow.
