NO HARDSHIP IN

 PEACE CONDITION
B. D. Pierce, Head of Reg ional Board, Explains
 Situation Here.

No noticeable hardship will be felt in Bridgeport as the result of the let ting down of the government con tracts is the opinion of Bradford D. Pierce lately returned from a meet ing of the advisors of the industrial divisions, which was held at Wash ington.
 '"The instructions we received" said MT. Pierce, were to continue in exactly the same manner as be- fore the signing of the armistice. The ban has been lifted on many non-es- sentials. Some manufacturers are to be permitted to renew their output 10 the extent of 75 per cent. and, as at this time of year, they were not making more than that amount any, way, this ruling may be said to have put them on a normal basis. This is especially true of such articles as baby carriages and corsets
 Building operations may continue on practically a before the war ba- sis Plants that were begun and are not above $25,0O0 in value, may be finished, and homes under s1O,0OO may be constructed. Permission for new building construction may be obtained from the Councils of De- fense. The gradual elimination of war contracts, and the resumption of the manufacture of non-essentials will, I believe, be accomplished without any serious hardship to the working people,"

RESOLUTIONS OF STATE COUNCIL OFF
 DEFENSE DRAWN BY JUSTICE WHEELER
Allied Armies Are Congratulated on Their Wonderful Victories in Europe, and Governments and People Are Praised for Their Self Sacrifices; Public Urged to Contribute Generously to United War Works Fund.

The Connecticut State Council of Defense unanimously adopted on Mon day a minute and resolution drawn by Justice George W. Wheeler. The resolution expresses the peoples feel ing of thanksgiving, the judgment that they have an abundance of work to do on the other side and the inn perative need of continuing to labor, save and give to help our boys across the seas and to feed the hungry and care for the destitute people of Flu rope.
 The resolution fittingly closes with a strong appeal iu behalf of the War Work Fund campaign. It calls upon all to give generously to this cause.
 The following is the resolution in full:
 That the Connecticut State Council of Defense adopts this minute as it's expression of the thought and feeling and purpose and duty of the American people at this great hour.
 "The allied nations Of civilization under a unified command and a su- perb general have won, and genera tipns yet unborn will marvel at and bless their strength, their endurance and their moral force. All the world comedies and history shall write the uynselfish purpose of our entry into the great war. She shall tell too that being in, we have pursued with in- flexible determination and unparal- leled vigOr, with a capacity for achievement till now unheard of, and with an unfaltering spirit that by our might we should finally make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust Our forces in the field have beaten the picked German Guards. Seiche- prey, Cantigny, Belleau Wood, Cha teau Thierry St. Mihiel, Argonne For ests, and Sedan are proud names for all time to all Americans. Our navy has done it's every task to the minute | Whenever 1t could come in contact with the enemy, it has prevailed. | Our sacrifices have been many Yet pur dead have not died in vain.
 They now know and we know 'Oul God is marching ou.' Autocracy i: dead; the tide of democracy sweeps
 over.
 "We owe unstinted praise to arm! | and navy, to the Government for its
 conWGbt of the war and to it's effort!

REFUGEES ARE RETURNING TO THEIR
 DEVASTATED HOMES TO BEGIN ANEW
Many Find Not Even the Walls of Homes Standing But Accept Hardships With stoicism; They Will Rebuild From the Wreckage, and Till the Soil For Their Re turning Soldier Husbands Sons and Sweethearts

Paris, Nov. -(Correspondence of The Associated Press) their little bundles of household pos sessions, the French refugees are re- turning to their homes in Chateau Thierry and the little French villages around it, to VauX, Lucy, Belleau and the rest, places now a pat of Ameri- can history.
 They are coming back to ruins Of villages and houses demolished by German artillery, to live in cellars and in the shelter oe tottering walls until they can rebuild their homes and their return is a pitiful spectd- cle.
 Find Homes in Ruins.
 Sometimes they find no home at all. Never do they find any furn:- ture. Often they find no food, and then the American Red Cross steps in and helps them. The woman who can dig out her stove from a heap O. | dirt and plaster and patch It up aga;n so that it will burn counts herself inordinateIy lucky One woman i found remaining of all her household 1 goods just one big saIt-ceIlar. Forks 1 are worth their weight in gold, and q 1 feather bed is prized above rubiea, l Five thousand five hundred blankets 1 the Red Cross shipped out to return l ing refugees in a single week. The people in the Aisne will not be i able to spend the winter in their own i villages. The villages on the banks of the little Marne are too utterly battered by shells to afford human habitation during the winter weather Now while days are warm and skies | are blue, their owners can find some 1 tiny corner or other to live in, but the rain and mud and chilly damp of a French winter will drive them, or if il does not, paternal government will send them, back to their temporary l homes in the uninvaded provinces tC wait for spring.
 Red Cross Feed Fugitiyes. One purpose in sending them home so quickly was to harvest the whea crops, but there was TO food, so the Red Cross established canteens II many villages and served two meals :

consent, has spoken the conscience and the ideals of the Allies. The work over there could not have been, had those at home not done their part.
 To-day all conditions of men and women have the privilege of rejoicing in the triumph of the Allies It is their victory as well as that of the brave soldiers and sailors. The war Is not yet over. Our work is not yet done.
 Many in Europe will starve if we do not feed them! more will remain destitute if we db not care for them. Our ships must fiEst bear succor to the suffering before they can bring our boys and our overseas supplies home. All Europe Is in the fires of revolution. Our boys must stay there and save those stricken countries from anarchy, restore order, and help them to know the liberty we know, ,---liberty buttressed and ordered by law All this will take time. Meantime we must not halt, but work the handler; our labor must feed the hungry, fur nish the material needed for the res t0ration and rehabilitation of Europe. | Our earnings and our savings must be 1 loaned and given to Belgium, to France, to Italy, to Poland, to Russia, to the Balkan States and to Greece. God has showered us with an abund- anoe; let us put it to such noble uses. 1 And while our hearts thrill in thanksgiving for victory we will re- member that our soldiers and sailors are now in peculiar need of ministra-
 ton. The moment of supreme sacri- flee has passed. The great trial and temptation Is at hand. It is our part to give them all the care, all the com fort, and all the joy we can. To keep them safe and bring them back to us true men, Is worth all that we have
 and all that we can do.
 ''The United War Work Campaign comes at a happy time The purposes for which it's fund is to be used and the method of it's use have been ap- proved by the Government. It will
 do what we as individuals cannot do
 It will bring the care and the cheer
 we would bring to our soldiers ani
 sailors, and it will help minister tc
 the suffering of the distressed peoples
 of Europe. This Is the day of oul
 victory, let us make to this cause 2
 victory gift. This is the day of oul
 undergraduate unspeakable,- - let us show it in our works"

 Furnish Medical Aid.
 To Amiens the refugees are just beginning to return but they will come soon in large numbers, and they will find the Red Cross ready to re- ceive them. There is a big building in Amiens that was a boys school in those half forgotten days when the city was not under shell fire. It be- longs to the Red Cross now, and it's class rooms are turned to strange uses. There is a big "salle de re- ception," where the returning refu- gees are sorted out and their needs ascertained. There is a canteen that serves two hot, nourishing meals q day. There is a long dormitory with beds for the weary ones who come back to find empty rooms and roofless houses. There are two dis pensaries, and dispensary doctors find much to do in a country where people live precarious, hand-to-mouth exis- tences.

STRIKE IN CUBA
 BECOMES SERIOUS

Havana, Wednesday, Nov. 13-A1- though it was believed that the gen eral sympathetic strike, called several days ago to support the demands of the Federated Harbor Unions that their imprisoned leaders be set free virtually was ended when President Menocal set the convicted men free today, the first serious trouble of the entire strike occurred in the heart of the city tonight. It resulted in the wounding of at least three policemen and several civilians A large crowd of union men enroute to their head quarters encountered a street car oc- cupied by a strike breaker, which en- deavored to pass in front of them Several men boarded the car and roughly attacked the motorman. Sol diers on another car, which also was attacked, fired into the air to intimi. date the mob and police reserves ar rived. The shooting then became general.
