WEST DRAWING ON
 EASTERN WORKERS

Cancellation of war contracts in Bridgeport will depend entirely on the attitude Secretary of War Baker, ac- cording to the opinion expressed by the members of the local Board of Cancellation and Mediation, who re- turned last night from Washington. The three representative of the em- ployes Samuel Lavit, David Clydes- dale and Patrick Scollins, accompanied by Alpheus Winter, chairman, secur- ed the passing of resolutions by ths War Labor Board, which were pre- sented to Secretary of Labor Wilson. They were unable to see MT. Wilson personally, as MT. Wilson was sud denly i'll. Assistant Secretary L. Ker- Win accompanied the delegation to Secretary Bakers office, where they presented their case.
 Samuel Lavit did not take an op- timistfc view. Washington is relyina entirely on the reports of the United States Employment Service regarding the unemployment of workers. Vest ern manufacturers report the need of many workers. The plan seems to be to induce eastern mechanics to go west. Should the contracts of the Remington Arms be cancelled as planned from 1000 to 1a,O0O people will be left without work A mass meeting of local workers will be call ed soon to discuss the situation"

GEORGE IS SUBJECT OF
 SUNDAY. TALK

Miss Helen Fraser, of London, England, who is to lecture at the Sunday evening Community Forum at morrow, Dec. 22, 1918, on Lloyd George, His Vision and His Achieve ment," is an official of the National War Savings Committee of the Brit ish Treasury and has been engaged in war work continuously since Aug ust, 1914, having lectured also for the Board of Agriculture and the Minis try of Food.
 Last season Miss Fraser establish ed record for women lecturers in the United States, giving no less than 232 lectures. These were given be- fore audiences of every description including all the principal women $ colleges, state and local committees of the womans committee of the Council of National Defense, Wom- ems Clubs, conventions of the Gen eral Federation of Women's Clubs and the National American Woma l Suffrage Association, the War Work Council of the Y. w. c. A., Chambers of Commerce, National War Savings Committee, universities and many of the important private girls schools. When Miss Fraser arrived on Dec. 1 Jess than 35 lectures had been ar ranged. Her first lectures proved so arresting and inspiring that de- mands came in from all parts of the country for her services with the re- suit that her tour lasted for six months instead of six weeks, and even then it was necessary to disap- point many committees anxious to arrange meetings for Miss Fraser.
 President Wilson received her al the White House as the first official British woman to come since Ameri- ca's entry into the war to tell of the women's great effort in Britain. Her advice was sought by various heads of departments while she was in Washington. The Woman's Land Army of America was launched al a conference called by the Farm and | Garden Association and addressed by Miss Fraser. Wellesley college ap- ] pointed Miss Fraser a member of the i advisory committee of the Wellesley | College Land Training scheme.

LONDON PAPERS
 SPEAK AT LENGTH ON WILSON'S VISIT
Express Profound Satisfac- tion With Plans of
 President.

London, Dec. 21-Newspapers here make extended comments on the inn pending visit of President Wilson to England. The Daily News expresses profound satisfaction over MT. Will sons plan and adds:
 Every section of the nation is eager for an opportunity to display it's gratitude and admiration of the Pres ident's unfaltering tdealism and stead fastness of purpose"
 The newspaper, approving of King George remaining in London to honor President Wilson, hopes, nevertheless, that the ceremonial aspect. of the visit will be kept to the narrowest limits consistent with it's importance, so that nothing may stand in MT. Wilson's way which will prevent his coming in personal contact with the people rather, than the rulers. It continues:
 While the visit will give the people an opportunity to range themselves publicly on his side, it will also give the President an opportunity of which he will hardly fail to avail himself, of shortening the preliminaries which are occupying time that might be proftably devoted to actual confer ence with the Allies. These prelim- inaries have not been formally be- gum
 The paper contends that it is necessary to press forward to the ne- gotiations and name conditions of peace for Germany and determine the future of Russia.
 "Only swift decisions by the Allies" it says, will enable Germany to re- sume something like her normal in dustrial life and secure the survival of a government capable of executing the conditions of peace. Delay means anarchy, and anarchy in Germany is fraught with greater perils for the world than anarchy in Russia. The condition of Russia is matter upon which MT. Wilson's voice can carry greater weight than any other. He has no material considerations to in f1uence him and no question of the bondholder will affect his judgment. He presumably has full knowledge of the facts which the people of this country have not-and a straightfor- | ward declaration from him that the Allies are taking the only course open 1 to them would dispel misgivings which Viscount Miners statement yesterday left unallayed."
