MANUFACTURERS PLAN
 NEW WORK SCHEDULES
May Adopt Two-Shift Basis Like Rule and Level
 Company

In order to prevent a complete breakdown of industry, New Britain manufacturers are occupied with plans to offset any possible coal shortage and are perfecting programs for keep ing as many hands as possible em- ployed. The lead of the Stanley Rule and Level Go. which went on a double shift basis today, is being followed and it is possible other plants may be operated on similar schedules.
 It is admitted that the coal situa- ton is now serious but manufacturers are hoping for the best and every eff fort is being strained to bring fuel into New Britain for the purpose of keep ing the wheels of industry turning. State Fuel Administrator T. w. Rus sell is said to be optimistic and is re- ported to believe that the crisis is past or approaching it's zenith.
 Chairman E. w. Christ of the fuel committee stated yesterday that in case of necessity the cellars of the homes in this city would be searched to discover if there is hoarding of coal. The plan to be followed would be similar to the method pursued by the Hartford police in their search of the Hartford cellars.

LEGISLATION ASKED,
 WILL BE RUSHED
Railroad Program Starts on Its Way in Congress
 Today

Washington, Jan. 7.-Legislation asked by President Wilson to perfect government control of railroads, started on it's way in congress today under consideration by the Interstate Commerce Committee of both houses.
 The senate committee meets to hear Statem ents from prominent railroad executives while the house committee maps out plan of action and decides whether hearings will be held.
 Indications are that passenger traf- fic reduced one-ffth on eastern roads by orders issued yesterday will be fur ther curtailed in a week or two.
 Director General McAdoo auth or ized the establishment of new domes- tic traffic rules. The new rules retain the two days free time as allowed at present but provide for increased charges ranging from 50 to 100 per cent thereafter.
 AS the first step in government as- sistance of railroad finances the preSi- dents of railroads were requested by Commissioner Daniels to telegraph him the amount of capital required for this year, also for the first six months of the year.

WANT HIS REMOVAL
 FROM NINTH WARD
Non Hocgen, New Haven German, Is Not Wanted by His
 NeighbOrS.

New Haven. Jan. T.-An aftermath of the summary treatment by a group of citizens to Maximilian von Hoegen, @ young Lawyer Saturday night be- cause of his pro-German statements, came today in a letter to Mayor David E. Fitzgerald from citizens of the 9th ward where von Hoegen lives, asking if steps could not be taken to compel him to change his residence. The letter says that his home overlooks a intuition plant and the petitioners express the belief that his proximity to the plant is a menace to public safety.
 The taking of the young man from his home Saturday night, the beating given him and his being compelled to kiss the American flag and make re- traction of his statements and to de- clare loyalty to the United States was widely discussed here today. It was said that his questionnaire which he had endorsed "Deutschland Uber Alles" and in which he had recorded, it is said, other dislOyal sentiments was to come before the sixth division draft board for consideration today. Officials of the board however, main tained reticence on the matter.
 "Details of von Hoegen being mobbed will be found on page 5.)

Ambassador Reading.

London, Jan. 6.-Earl Reading, lord chief justice, will go to the United States as direct representative of the British war cabinet, according to the Daily Express. While Earl Reading will have the title of ambassador pure ly diplomatic matters will be in the hands of a charge d'affairs, the earl F controlling war activities.
 Earl Readings work will accord ing to the understanding in official circles deal mainly with financial and general business matters and he will be relieved of the ordinary ambassa- doral functions of handling numerous minor diplomatic negotiations which constitute a large part of the embas sy's work. Col F. D. Swinton, assist ant secretary of the war abinet and one of the originators of the British tank will accompany the lord chief as attache. The appointment of Earl Reading as ambassador is primarily for war purposes and probably means that Viscount Northc1iffe will not re- turn to the United States.
 Lord NorthcIiffe will continue the active direction in England of the American mission which have just been established in Crewe house.
 Earl Reading was attorney general of England as Sir Rufus Isaacs.

Soldiers at Front.

London, Jan. 7.-The Bolsheviks are definitely strengthening the front, Petrograd advices say. The corre- spondent of the Daily News obtained this information from M. Radek, one of the Russian delegates who took part in the negotiations with the Austro- Germans at Petrograd. He said the Bolshevik intended to send home those who did not wish to fight so they would have an army which was will ing to fight for an ideal.
 The correspondent asked what will be the attitude of the Bolshevik in case of actual war in regard to help from the Allies. M. Radek replied:
 We do not desire their help. Our strength lies in our weakness, and if we accept help from the Allies the signifance of our position would be destroyed. The weaker we are the stronger we are. The Germans can drive us back but what good would it do them. The country behind the front has been stripped. bare. There Is not enough there to feed a single horse. The Germans will not wish millions of starving persons on their hands.
 We stand for a democratic peace. So do the German working classes. If the German government attacks us it will display itself to it's own people in its true light

SECTION OF TOWN
 HOME A FIRE TRAP Structure Condemned by InSpa tor Rutherford and Chief l3 AGED WOMEN IN DA
Children Also Inhabitants of u
 able Buildine-Ninctecn K Cannot Be Occupied Until ps
 Escapes Are Installed.
Building Inspector Arthur ]

Building Inspector Arthur N. Rut1 erford and Fire Chief Robert, Dame paid visit to the Town Honl this morning and after inspecting tn place officially condemned the secon floor of the original building, now cd cupied by aged women and a few chir3 dren, as fire trap. Inspector Ruthy erford wrote a letter today to tht] charity board apprising it of his ac1 ton. Both Inspector Rutherford and Chief Dame recommend that the inmates of the condemned quarters be moved to the Town Home Annex, form erly the isolation hospital, where there is some available room.
 From their inspection of the second floor of the building in question the two officials felt assured that the place . is a fire trap. Not only is the build ing a frame structure, but also it has but two So-called fire escapes. There are nothing but wooden ladders on the side of the building and are ac- cesSible only through open WindOWs At the end of the building is a wooden porch, but this is not accessible as q place of exit in case of emergency be- cause, owing to the condition of som of the inmates, it is necessary to keep both doors leading onto it locked all of the time.
 In the section condemned by the officials there are nineteen rooms. This division of the home is used en- tirely for old and feeble women, those afflicted both mentally and physically, and also for a few small children who are cared for by the city.
 The only way in which this section of the Town Home can be made in- habitable with any assurance of req sonable safety is, the officials say by the installation of two large and mod ern fire escapes in such a position as to be instantly accessible to all in mates
 Superintendent A. J. Hart of the charity department stated this after noon that last September he requested Chief Dame of the fire depa: rtment to visit the Town Home to inspect the fire eNtingui@hers installed at the institl1- ton, fearing that they may have lost their usefulness through not being used.

SELECTIVE DRAFT
 ACT IS UPHELD
Surreme Court Says Law is Consti- tutiona1, Some Contentious being
 More Imaginary Than Real.

More Imaginary Than Real.
 Washington, Jan. 7.-The se1ective draft act was today uphed as con- 1 stitutional by the supreme court. ! The governments contention that the power given congress to declare
 war includes power to compel citi- zens to render military service both at home and abroad were sustained i by the court.
 Chief Justice White, who delivered the unanimous opinion in a brief statement declared that after con- sidering the contentious the conclusion had been reached that most of them were imaginary rather than real.
 The decision resulted from the ap- pcals of 13 cases growing out of convictions under the selective ser vice act, five coming from New York, three from Ohio four from Minne- sota and one from Georgia Consti- tutionality of the act was made the basis for all of the appeals.
 The cases from New York were those of Louis Kramer, Morris Becker, Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman and Meyer Grabuard. The first four were convicted of attempting to in- duce others of draft age not to regis ter and an additional charge of fail- ure to register was made against Kramer, who was sentenced to two years Imprisonment. Becker was sentenced to one year and eight months in jail while Emma Goldman and Berkman were ordered impris- oned for two years and fined s10,000 apiece.

EACH MAN TO FAKE \
 HOD OF COAI TO CHURCH

ThOmpsOnVille, Jan. 7.-The coal shortage, which has already resulted in changes in the win ter services in several of the churches has now extended to St. Andrews Episcopal Church, where a somewhat unique meth cd of meeting the emergency has been arranged. The church now has but small amount of coal on hand and much difficulty is being experienced in securing an additional supply. It has there fore been agreed that every man of the parish attending church next Sunday will carry with him bod of coal, and it is ex- pected that very few of the men will have to be classed as "Slack- CTS" This plan will be a com- paratively slight burden on the individual, but collectively is ex- pected to add at least a ton to the church's coal supply.

MILK. DEALERS.
Will Not Raise the Price to Fifteen
 Cents in Danbury.

Danbury, Jan. 7.-There probably will be no increase in the price of milk to 15 cents by milk dealers in this city as tho result of the recent order of the federal food commits sioner fixing the Connecticut price at that figure. Wholesale and retail dealers and producers talked with to- day expressed the opinion that such an increase was unnecessary and would be exorbitant. Both producers and dealers are making fair profit at present, it was stated, and there was no need of imposing af urther burden upon the public. The price of milk here and in in the neighboring towns is r cents quart and will probably remain at that figure during the remainder of the winter
