And get along all right

And make men strong and bold.

MACHINISTS OUT
 OF EMPLOYMENT

Between 300 and 400 machinists in the city of Bridgeport have re- ported at the Machinists' headquar- ters that they are out of work, and have not been able to secure employ ment at any of the factories at which they have applied.
 Samuel Lavit, business agent, stated this morning that he could not pre- sent any solution of the problem as yet, but was to attend a meeting of business agents of the district this af- ternoon, which Is to be held in New York. The situation will be fully discussed, and It is expected tha; possibly a small number of men will be sent to the New Jersey and Phila- delphia shipyards.
 The Machinists' union are to send representatives to the city officials for the purpose of asking their pro- cedure during the winter toward the food situation, and the lack of em' ployment. The union men feel thai the city officials should take steps for the relief of families of unemployed men, by at least providing food al cost prices.

DIVORCE CASE
 IN CITY COURT

For the first time in many years. matters pertaining to divorce acz tion were heard in city court, when Ralph Barbarosso of 115 North Wash ington avenue, was arraigned before Judge Bartlett on a charfge of non support and desertion. The case was continued until tomorrow morning.
 Barbarosso is suing his wife for divorce on charge of desertion. One of the unique features of the case Is that while he has not lived with his wife in the past five years. he
 has given his address as stated above His wife lives at 113 North Washing ton avenue. She has five children. Mrs. Barbarosso claims that her husband has contributed just s4 tc 1 the support of her and their childre,, in the past five years, and charges him with extreme cruelty and the 1 use of abusive language. He ha | been absent from this city as long a
 a year at a time, but would always re ! turn to the North Washington avenue i address. The wife claims she me 1 him in the street on numerous occa 1 sions and that each time he usel

 the situation" he said. During the war one of my preoccupations was the task of obtaining food for the soldiers and people, but now, notwithstanding all my efforts it is most distressing to find there is none left for them. If America and the Allies do not recog- nize this fact, suffering here will be very great within a few weeks. In- deed, it is already so and every day we do not use in the endeavor to get food Is a day lost.
 We have done our best, and more cannot be done. If food and coal is not brought, we shall have disorder in Vienna. Possibly that disorder from Russia which we call Bolshe- vism will come. The people here are fine, kind and patient, but when any one is without food he is apt to do many unusual and violent things. Looking back, we may recall that Bol- shevicsn started in Russia because of the lack of food. I think 1t is in the interest of the Allies to aid us, as Bolshevism, when started may spread and become a danger to the Allies, too.
 Our coal and food situation is worse because of transportation con- ditions. The railroads became badly discrganized lately. I am very glad to see an American, who represents a count which is working for peace. I have worked for peace always
 Regarding the future, I cannot speak of the past, I can only repeat that I feel I did my duty. However, I do hope that peace will bring good fortune, happiness and a better un- derstanding among all peoples" During the interview the former monarch did not show bitterness to- ward the allies of America because of their military victory though it may be Inferred that he is heart-sore over the loss of his army.
 It was pointed out to the corre- spondent by officers at the castle that the former Emperor's whole heart and mind has been centered in the work of securing the welfare of the people, The only pleasure he has taken dur ing the war has been to hunt for a l few hours each week. He worked R 1 hours a day for long periods. He is said to be much hurt by stories which were circulated in allied countries about his private life, especially drunkenness. AS a matter of fact he drinks but one glass of wine or beer ! at lunch and never drinks liquors at 1 dinner.
