DEALERS TAkInG CHANGE
 SEEK LICENSES
To Apply to Commissioners Despite Dry Law
 Enforcement.

Despite the fact that nation wide prohibition is looming up only a short time in the future, 20 liquor dealers of this city have displayed their will ingness to take a chance by filing ap- p1ications for renewals of licenses. The county commissioners stated to- day that they have received only 20 applications so far.
 That is far below the number usually on file at this time of year. There were over 800 licenses issued in this city for the last license year, which expires December 15.
 Applications for renewals may be filed November l and must be receiv- ed before December 15. Usually there is 9 rush on the first day to file ap- plications but this year a record was established when not one application was filed or November 1.
 The new license year for other towns and cities in the county started November l and 21G dealers have paid for Ter ew1Is. They will get a rebate for the months they cannot use the license, although there is con- siderable red tape attached to the process of recovering the money.

RllTllOrS Of Car Strike
 Are Rife
100 Men Brought to City to Take Places of
 Men Leaving.
ZONE SYSTEM IS
 TOO COMPLICATED

Rumors of a trolley strike were rife today due to the fact that 100 men from Boston and Providence have been brought to Bridgeport during the past few days by The Connecticut Co. They are to take the place of their old employees who are leaving the employ of the company in large numbers on account of the onerous duties placed on them by the new zone system.
 The out of town men have been placed in the Hotel Drew and other hotels and boarding houses near the car barns and are being broken into their duties as fast as possible.
 One of the old conductors this morning said that 40 or 50 men who were members of the trolley mems union had given up their jobs since the zone system went into effect and that a meeting of the union will soon be held to take action on the mat ter.
 One of the Boston men said that he came here with a party of 15, Monday, and that out of that num- Der only four had gone to work for the trolley company, the other II re- turned to their homes, refusing to go to work, after looking over the situation here.

MASSIVE DAM FINISHED VALLEY
 TO BE FLOODED

Its massive quarter mile dam prac- effort of two years, the Connecticut Light 6 Power Company plans, be- fore the end of the present week, to close the gates that will pond 1,5OO,- o00,O0 cubic feet of water in a 1,5OO, acre Housatonic Valley basin behind the biggest structure of it's kind in the state and one of the biggest in the East, providing the last litigation over property in the basin is cleared up by that time. The towns of OK ford, New Haven county and Monroe, Fairfield county, were connected yes terday when the wide concrete bridge over the top of the dam was thrown open to the public, taking the place of older and far smaller bridges in the area that is to be flooded.
 That the great dam was completed in the nick of time was indicated yes terday by a statement of Vice Presi- dent J. Henry Roraback that barely 40 days supply of coal remained in the possession of the company, and no further shipments were in sight for the generation of electricity at the Waterbury plant of the corpora tion. Had the completion of the dam
  bury and New Britain and many other municipalities of the state would have been without electricity by Christmas, assuming that the coal situation should not be adjusted by that time.
 Not only will the dam be capable of taking over the production of the Waterbury plant, but also of general ing much greater power, the total voltage being 66,00O and the horse power 40,000.
 Even though the tam is closed and the vast accumulation of water started behind It, generation of eIec- tricity cannot be started until consid- erable preliminary work has been done, for which the water pressure is required, as bearings and other equipment must first be dried out and machinery thoroughly tested. This, with the finishing touches on the dam, will require about a month, thus allowing a margin of but a few days before the Waterbury plant exhausts it's supply of fuel.

PILL BOX STONE
 USED TO PAVE GERMAN STREETS

The great cement squares of re- enforced concrete which the German army used in constructing machine gun pill boxes" in No Mans Land and also for bIockhouses in the Ar gonne for their artillery are now be ing used to repave the war worn roads of the Fatherland Follow ing the close of the fighting by the signing of the Armistice. The Ger mans had on hand about 5O,0OO tons of the concrete blocks.
 Cement never had to be carried to front-line posiiOns,'' explained J. Henry Mackzum, a Knights of Co., lumbus Secretary who is home from a trip through Germany
 The Huns had long figured on the value of cement re-enforced with steel as an inVulnerabIe method of withstanding modeFn shellfire Dur ing the early invasion of Belgium the high command were unable to whip their transportation system into first class shape and of course they demol- ished buildings and uprooted streets of Belgian block to secure stones for the construction of dugouts and pill boxes for machine guns and artillery.
 Long before the war on certain railroad lines the great piles of ce- ment blocks had been placed by the military officials in anticipation of war. In the great drives of 1915 and 1916 the Germans just placed these blocks on railroad trains and hurried them to the front lines. About 1917 they discovered that the circular type of cement pillbox was a more satis- factory method of defIecting heavy shell-fire and set to work construct ing this type of block.
 ''They had the cement squares so moulded that each was numbered and corresDonded much in the same man ner that a fabricated ship or house is placed together.
 During my recent trip through the Fatherland I found that the Germans were repaving all the main roads over which heavy war traffic had moved with the cement squares of which there must be more than 5O,- 900 tons now in Germany I also found that when they became short of steel they had pulled the rods used to re-enforce the squares out.' MT. Mackzum also related a story of a huge salvage pile at CobIenz- Lutzel which has been set afire sev- | eral times but continues to remain, containing old uniforms, shirts, guns, revolverS, shoes, grenadeS, daggers | sabres, belts, helmets, etc. This prop erty was accumulated by the salvage l corps about France and the Rhine ! land.
 The home-going soldiers, it ap- pears, discarded many of their sou venirs on the trip after leaving the Fatherland, and it is all picked up and brought back to Coblenz-I.utzeI where the Army men have set three or four big bonares to get rid Of the loot

CHAINED AND HANDCUFFED AZ RADICALS ARE TAKEN TO
 HARTFORD FOR TRIAL
None Offered Resistance to Transfer Procedure
 Had Special Cars.
CROWD SEES
 THEM LEAVE TOWN

Bound together in pairs by chains and handcuffs, 47 aiieg- ed radicals who were arrested Saturday night in Sadler's hall, iii Willard street, left Bridge port for Hartford this after noon under a guard of 20 Fed eral officers and state police men. The prisoners who have been held at police headquar- ters since Saturday night were placed in two special cars which were attached to the 12:27 p. m. train. Upon their arrival in Hartford they will be committed to the Hartford jail under bonds of SfG,000.
 Headed by William P. Hazen, chief of the Connecticut department of the Department of Justice. and Immigra- ton Bureau Inspectors William NJ. Clark and James Fitzgerald, of Bos- ton, a detachment of Federal agents arrived in Bridgeport this morning and started the transfer of prison CTS.
 The preliminary work was compIet- ed in a few moments, and the prison CTS were then herded into police pa troIs and taken to the east-bound sta ton. Four trips to the station were necessary, and the patrols were guarded by a special squad of local officers on each trip. All the pris- oners were taken to the waiting room and there handcufad together in pairs.
 \ large crowd was on hand to wit ness the departure of the alleged "Heds,'' and the spectators gave out a lot of advice as to what should be done to the prisoners. Hanging, and running the cars off an open draw bridge was frequently suggested.
 None Of the prisoners offered the slightest resistance to the transfer procedure. The entire crowd re- mained very calm while at the sta ton, and made no attempt to sing or create any disturbance.
 In Hartford the prisoners will be examined in a deportation procedure, and will be held for investigation by officials of the Bureau of Immigra- ton.

BILL TO STOP
 GIVING BONDS
 TO ANARCHISTS

Washington, Nov. 12. - The de partment of justice Monday stated emphatically it will press to quick finish the trial of some sixty members of the Union of Russian Workers ar rested in Connecticut a few days ago and they will be deported back to Russia as soon as the hearings are completed and action by the immI- grafton commissioner and the attor- ney-seneraI can be taken, which they predict will be within the next ten days.
 The department of justice is satis- fled it has strong evidence on which to convict all persons involved.
 Not only were the anarchists ar rested but much literature and the red flag of the order were found iu several cities.
 Not only were men, flags and incen- diary literature captured, but records Of the order were found together with banners bearing anarchistic notices. The department proposes to nip in the bud the spread of anar- ch:stic doctrines into New England and deDortauons will be ordered under the act of Congress in 1918, making deportation the penalty of anarchists and anarchistic societies.
 One important result of the Con necticut raid will be immediate in troduction Of a bill in Congress re- scinding the present law which per naits anarchists to give bonds pend ing conviction.
 The department of justice has proof that dangerous doctrines are spread widely by those persons out on bonds and will appeal to Congress in conjunction with the commissioner Of immigration to have that flaw in the law corrected without delay.

Mayor Wilson Within 24 Hours Gives Direction for S2O9,OOO To Go To Teachers and S13O,OOO To Bremen - Police men Coming Next.

When the Board of Fire Commissioners meet next "Wednesday night Mayor Cliff ford B. Wilson is expected to appear before them and re- commend an increase of pay amounting to p per cent for every member of the depart ment. i similar course will probably be pursued in con- nectiOn with the Police Com missioner's meeting on Satur- day night.
 While the mayor refuses to com ment on the situation and has nothing to say it is known that these men were promised a raise before election and in all probability it will be the same as that recommended for the school teachers at the meeting of the Board of Education on Monday night.
 Promotions in both the police and fire departments are known to have been promised and while it is not be- ieved that the Police Commissioners will act until after this month and probably not until just before Christ mas the Fire Commissioners may act next Wednesday night.
 A new Heutenancy is to be created known as the "combustibles" depart ment and a man from the ranks will be given the appoin ,ment as a lieu tenant.
 A 25 per cent. increase to school teachers will cost more than $2O9,- GOO. The same increase to fremen and policemen will cost about $780, eco per annum for both.
 To make good the political prom ises which went into the last election will cost the taxpayers close to half a million dollars, and perhaps more, if it appears that other groups were in the arrangement.
