OF HONOR
 WILL ACT ON
 MANY MATTERS

Government insurance, the subject of much discussion between ex-ser- vice men, will be the principal topic os debate at the annual meeting of Bridgeport Post of the American Legion of Honor, which win be held tonight in the EISs' home in State street.
 Delegates for the state convention to be held in Hartford on Sept. 2T, will be appointed tonight, and will be instructed to ropor- to the state ses- sion. the opinion of Bridgeport legion members who are interested in the insurance matter.
 Throughout the country ex-scrvice men seem to have gained the impres- sion that the government insurance is not a good investment because the money Is paid monthly instead of in a lump sum upon the death of the sol dier. Many service men are of the opinion that it would be advisable Jo carry tho full amount of SlO.0oO provided the sum is handed over in one payment in case of death
 Every ex-sOIdier, sailor or marine in Bridgeport is cordially invited 10 at- tend tonight's meeting, and express his views on this important subject The sense of tonights meeting will be carried to Congress through the state and national conventions of the le- zion which will be held in the near future.

 DILEMMA OVER
 HER OWN FUTURE

Vienna, Friday, Aug. 29.-Austria is watching the trend of events in Hungary with growing apprehension The present ascendancy of the raac- tionary element is feared here to point the road 10 mOnarchiaI government either by the re-establishment of Hun gary as a kingdom, or the fruition of the reported Rumanian scheme for a dual Rumanian- Hungarian empire under a Rumanian king
 The activity of the R0yalist ele- ments of Europe, outside of the i'm mediate house of Hapsburg, is indi- cated by apparently reliable reports.
 Meanwhile, the Austrians are en- deavoring 10 shape their own destiny and prepare for the effect Hungary's s future will have upon it. Reduced to her present territorial limits. Austria S resources are greatly restricted and her currency is depreciating daily. Many of the leaders feel that the task of rehabilitating and establishing per plancnt statehood as it now presents itself, is beyond the capacity of the country.

 Other prominent Bridgeporters who are identified with the fndepen- dent movement declined today to dis cuss the progress, beyond saying # was satisfactory and that the next few days developments were expected to be such as to permit further an inducements of what will be done.
 BaIIard's proposition is for the Democrats and Independent RepubIi- cans to join hands. the head of the ticket to be Allan F. Vincent, an In dependent Republican, and the city treasurer nominee. Moses w. Man wariuE. a present treasurer elected on the last Republican ticket.
 The program includes assigning all the minor elective offices to the Democrats, giving to the Demo ocrats assurances that the patronage of the several boards and of the mayor will he largely if not entirely, given to Democrats.
 William ?. Kirk, the last Demo- cratic candidate for mayor. is an ad- vocate of this program, but did not desire to discuss the matter at this time. he said today, when approached -4.,+
 George F. Mara has for some days been engaged in the work of feeling out the Democratic leadership 10 see what can be done to promote a fusion ticket.
 Among those with whom Mara has conferred are Senator George B. Clark who has been mentioned for the Dem Ocratic nomination for mayor, and has quite a following.
 Mara, was in position to offer Sen ator Clark a place on the Board of Apportionment, and to George Cough lin, prominent Ninth District leader an appointment as director of public works. if the fusion ticket shOul[ be successful.
 The difficulty in the way of fusion is that there are several candidates in the field. who by themselves or their friends, are mayoral possibilities, and the consent of these will be necessary if the fusion plan is to be a success
 Alderman Cornell has also been con suited. He has quite a following and is among those mentioned for the mayoral nomination. Neither Senator Clark nor Cornell have expressed themselves on the side of fusion. In the event CCh his participation Alder man Cornell would propably be of fered the position of City Attorney.

UNREST IN INDUSTRIES
 GROWS LESS

London, Sept. m The industrial situation in Great Britain at present appears far less grave than a few months ago, when there was a threat of a complete upheavaI of labor. Since the settlement of the Yorkshire strike there has been no trouble of great magnitude, although small strikes in various industries are still frequent and tranway workers are threatening a national walkout if a wage advance IS not granted.
 Generally, however, unrest through out the country has been lessened since ministerial revelations of the nations grave financial position. Moreover, the government has prom ised early legislation providing for d 4s-hour week and a minimum wage for all industries.
