BIG DOINGS AT
 COUNCIL MEETING
Election of Town Clerk and Action on Bond Issue
 Tonight.

Election of town clerk to fill the uneKpired term of the late Joseph SchultE-probabIe action on the is- suing of mun1c1paI bonds to the ex- tent of $2, ,0oO 900, and other matters of importance will keep the Bridge port Board of Aldermen busy at the meeting to be held in the Common Council Chambers at City Hall to- night.
 It is confidentially expected that Mayor Clifford B, Wilson after an absence from four meetings will at tend tonight's session, and he may fhave some communications of inter est to read the aldermen.
 One of the largest patches of min or petition in the history of the board is on the schedule for tonight, and City Clerk J. Alex H. Robinson claims to have had his voice especial ly trained for the readings.
 Little opposition is expected to de clerk. There will be none from tht Democratic side of the chamber and at present the election of Clarence E Winton seems assured.
 It was rumored this morning, how ever. that Alderman and Representa- tive Robert N. Blakeslee. who was mentioned for the post, has a strong following and that they will not con, cede the election of Winton without 2 fight. There may be some Demo cratic opposition on the bond issue but this had not been definitely de cided at noon today.
 The committee of three who were appointed by the Machiniets' local to prepare and present a resolution or the ice question to the common coun- ell will attend the meeting of the council tonight and urge the adop ton of the resolution that the city use the money appropriated for the municipal ice plant to buy ice durins the warm weather and sell it to the citizens of Bridgeport at cost, claim ing that by doing this the people will be, benefited and the city will stiI have the morey in the fall to build the ice plant.

PHONE WORKERS AWAIT ACTION
 AT HARTFORD

Bridgeport telephone operators will continue to wage their fight against the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, in spite of adjustments that have been made in other New England cities
 Tomorrow officers of the union in this city and in Hartford will meet the officials of the telephone com pany in an effort to secure an ad- justment in the matters in dispute in these two cities before definite action along strike lines is taken
 Miss Teresa Sullivan, who organized the unions in Bridgeport and Hart ford, is expected to be in Hartford tonight, and will bring with her the rate schedule to be presented to Division Traffic Superintendent F. L. Moore in New Haven tomorrow. The schedules will call for minimum of S1O a week and a maximum of S22. and this, with the reinstatement of the discharged employees and shorter working shifts, will form the basis of the demands to be presented to MT. Moore by the adjustment board from both unions.
 Ethel Keefe, president of the Bridgeport local, said that the Bridge port schedules had already been sent to MT. Moore, having been forwarded Saturday, April 12, and an acknowl- edgment of their receipt was received from him last Tuesday. The schedules from Hartford could not be forward ed, however, because they had not been received from Boston. The set clement of the strike at Boston will now possibly relieve Miss Julia O'Con- nor from her activities in that city and she may be present at the meet ing this evening, which will be pre- sided over by Miss Sullivan.
 Hartford was not able to talk over the telephone with Springfield yester- day. the report invariably being made of mo service" It was intimated that a resumption of communication with the outside world by way ot Massa chusetts and the other states affected, might be expected today when the girls will probably return to the switchboards.
 Boston, April 21-TeIephone ser vice here and in other places affected by the strike of operators and cleo tricaI workers of the New England Telephone and Telegraph, and Provi- dence Telephone companies, was re stunned in part early today. Wher- ever available on short notice, many day operators began their duties a the regular hours, ' or s a. nl., hay ing been notified of the settlement ot the strike which started last Tues day
 By the understanding reached last night operators in Boston would re- ceive S19 a week instead of SIS after seven years of service and the mini. mum wage would be s10 instead O. sS. They demand $22 as a maxi mum at the end of four years. The new scale will be retroactive to Jan. uary 1.
 It was estimated unofhcialy tha the increases granted the operator: would cost the companies more thar $500, 900 yearly, with more than $1,' 900. 900 additional for allied electrica workers.

The capacity of the cables is 6Oo,000 words a day. and the associated governments could order the text of the peace treaty given first official priority so that the enormous task of transmits sion could be accom- plished with less delay than a press message ordinarily requires.

SUPPORT KOREA'S
 FREEDOM PLAN

Picking, April 10-( -(Correspond of The Associated Press) - Several secret societies whose numbers oggre- gate millions of persons are support ing the independence movement in Krea, it is understood. Notable among them are the Progressive Party and the Heaven Worshippers which to- gether have a membership of more than 100000 persons. Others are the New Korean Society and the Light Restoring Socieyt Sixty thou sand students of nearly all educa- tional institutions, including govern ment schools participated in the movement It is stated that the in surrection was supported also by Christian. and Buddhist bodies.
 Christianity has made rapid pro gross in Korea for 30 years. Two large missionary bodies are working there The American Methodist Mission has 750 churches and 100000 followers, while the American Presbyterian Mission has 2,0O0 churches and about 100000 adherents. The Korean Christians are mostly men of charac- ter and have received higher educa- ton.
 The demonstration in favor of i.i- dependence which began in nearly all towns and villages throughout Korea on March 1, were at first orderly and limited to the delivery of speeches and distribution of copies of mani festos. Later the movement took a distinctly revolutionary character and this resulted in clashes with the Japanese authorities and in casual ties on both sides.

 Earis, Sunday, April 21.---A state ment issued this evening by the Ha vas news bureau a. semi-oficiaI agen- cy. says that surprise has heen man 1fested over the fact that Germany did not select more prominent men for her peace delegation than Herr won Keller. Ernst Schmidt. Herr Reimker and Herr LUders, and also that, according to the German note, they will have power to examine the text of the terms and not to sign the treaty.
 IL is declared this evening the state mnt adds. that in these circum- stances the sending of these dele gates to Versailles would be useless. %
 Paris. April 2t-( By The Associated Press) The Italian parliament which was to have met on Wednesday of this week, will not convene until May 6. according to despatches from Rome. This postponenent has evidently been caused by the failure of the Council of Four of the Peace Conference in Paris to reach as yet any solution of-the problem raised by ItaIy's claims to Fiume and the Dalmatian coast
 Despatches from Paris indicate that the situation caused by Italys un- vieldiuS attitude has reached a criti- Caf phese. News from the Peace Conference on Sunday showed that representatives of Great Britain. France and Italy. the three nations. together with Russia. signatory to the treaty of London. framed at London in 1915 before the entry of Italy into the war on the side of the Entente, were in conference and that Presi- q also announced that he would not be present when conversations were re- opened today.
 MT Wilson has stood out against recognition of the treaty of London. upon which Italy's maximum terri torial claims are based, and his ab- sence from the meeting yesterday might have been caused by the fact that the Italians were invoking that convention in support of their terri toTial claims
 Dispatches from Paris. however, re- fleet 0 rather positive attitude on the part of the Peace Conference. which 1t Is said. will inform Germany that the men she sends to Versailles must have power to sign the treaty of peace. It is said that the first act of the meeting to be held on April 25 will be to demand evidence from the Germans that they possess such pow CTS
 Bolshevism is again on the back track on the western Ukrainian front, the strength of the Soviet forces having apparently been con centrated in the effort to overrun the Crtmea. which has been successful. The cities of Zhitonir and Proskurov in the Ukraine, have been re-taken from the Bolsheviki by forces com manded by Simon Petlura, the Uh- rainian peasant leader. It is an- nounced that 10000 Bolshevik sol diers have deserted in a body and have joined the Ukrainians.
 In northern Russia, Bolshe heviki forces are in retreat and are being closely pursued by British, American and Russian troops.
 Vienna is in the hands of Soviet adherents. It appears the transfer of authority there was brought about without great disorder or bloodshed Munich is probably still held by So- viet forces. but German government troops before the Bavarian capital have been reinforced by soldiers from Wuerttemberg.
