London. Monday. Dec. 2s.-(British
wireless service.) Labor unions
throughout the United Kingdom are
agitating for 44-hour week. This
would mean eight hours a day on ave
days of the week and four hours on
Saturday.
The National Transport workers
federation has presented TO all the

ways demand for a working week
Of "A hours at the present weekly
wages.
Representatives Of the federation OF
engineering and shipbuilding trades
and OF the employers recently decided
that a 47-hour week without any re-
duction in existing wages constituted
a reasonable attempt to readjust
working conditions.
The compromise of a 47-hour week

neering and shipbuildtng union and a

The portico on the facade of the

The Belgian suite in Buckingham
palace, which the President and Mrs.
Wilson will occupy is on the first
floor Of the palace, facing the
garden. Probably one of the most
handsomely furnished of the seven
rooms comprising the suite is the
Spanish ROOM which is intended as
a dressing room. On either side of
the handsomely decorated fireplace
there stand remarkable Bull cabi-
nets. These and other cabinets in the
room are considered of great value.
The sitting room is known as the
eighteenth century room" because
its pictures formerly were all of that
period. Some of these which were
removed during the days.-of the air
raids together with other pictures
and art works OF the palace, have
not yet been replaced. One Of the
bedrooms is known as the Orleans

will be adhered to. It is probable
that the work of supplying food will
be retained under one head in the
interest OF rapidity of action and eff
fciency. This head, it seems certain
will be Mr.. Hoover who has prepared
tentative plans for the extension OF
the machinery he has already Great
ed for the relief of devastated por-
tons of Belgium and France.
Mr. Hurley talked with Mr.. Wilson
on shipping subjects. One feature
of the problem is the application of
the French government for permits
sion to rehabilitate its merchant ma
rine through the use of great Amer
lean shipbuilding plants which were
developed to meet war, needs. The
French government has already,
through Captain Andre Tardieu, re-
minded Mr.. Wilson that France, was
compelled in the common interest
of the entente to completely suspend
the construction of merchant ships.
Due consideration is being given this
claim but the chairman of the ship
American shipbuilding facilities from
all foreign customers until the hnal
peace treaty is signed.
1t is understood the French build
ing program calls for six million
tons within the next tTe~ae years. The
French government already has
placed orders. for $4,000 tons in
British yards and had hoped to
place 100000 tons in American yards.
The aggregate after three years
would be about three times the mer-
chant tonnage of France previous
to the war. The increase is said to
be due largely to changes by which
the Mediterranean ports will become
the centers of the commercial pene-
tration of Europe instead of the
North Sea ports.

The announcement Of the Presi-

sentiment, which is always touched
by attentions to the 'poilus' and to
the soldiers OF the allied armies.

company here, by 1880 O'Clock to-
night had destroyed the entire plant,
$4,000 barrels of whiskey and entail
ed loss well in excess of $4,000, ,000.
The whiskey alone was valued at So
$4,000 and the loss to the United
states government in taxes is approx
imately $6.75O,000.
The blaze started in a pile of trash
alongside the distillery The fire was
spectacular in the extreme the flames
mounting hundreds of feet In the air
Every few minutes blazing barrel
of whiskey driven upward by the ex-
plosion of other barrels, would rise
to great height and then fall. When
it struck, the whiskey it contained
would be spread over the ground in
blazing sheet for many Yards Burn
ing streams of whiskey ran through
the bitches of the open fields into
the Ohio river, the whole surface Of
which seemed at times to be on fire
The difference in the value placed
upon the whiskev and the amount Of
taxes estimated to have been lost by
the government is accounted for hy
the fact that the internal revenue tax
had not been paid on any of It, and
the value placed upon it was the VAL
ue of spirits, tax unpaid The tax on
whiskey is 1920 a proof gallon and
the average contents of a barrel of
whiskey when first placed in the ware

forty-seven ard one-half gallons.
