 SYMPATHETIC STRIKE

Patrons of the Norwich barber shops who had been contemplating a period of unshaven discomfort if the barbers should join a sympathetic strike on behalf of the trolleymen were relieved this week to learn that the barbers' union had voted against the sympa- thetic strike.
 It is understood also that the car penters union has voted against the sympathetic strike as proposed by the Central Labor Union.
 Meanwhile the members of Norwich unions are being kept from riding on the trolley cars by the fear of penal- tie7 taat will be imposed upon them if they do. and the trolleymen are ex- tending their blacklist of merchants and store employees who are seen rid ing on the cars.
 The Central Labor Union of New London voted this week. 14 to s. not to put a sympathetic strike into ef- feet in that city.

 With brine and salted peter; It spruced the outer man right up

The principle Of thsicaguc viii not

peace thru community OF interests
among nations without impairing the
sovereignty OF any nation. But rec
ignition OF sovereign rights viii be
more strongly defined.
Unless some other government oh

When the republican storm OF
criticism FIRST broke, the correspon-
dents were given clearly to under
stand that there viii be no general
amendments TO the covenant II was
stated that all questions had been
shoroiy threshed out. and the best
method of phraseology decided oh, SO
~ to suit all powers.
Further. Il was pointed out that II
he door were open TO amendments.
there would be- such a food OF them
hat the covenant never would be
rompicted. Objections 10 non-inclu-
sion of the Monroe doctrine were
met by the statement that II this
we're permitted. all other powers
would endeavor to make exceptions
In their own interests.
a feeling il manifest that the COW
rnant As IL now stands covers all the
points raised In the various ohjec-
tons. but. in the desire To meet all
criticism. certain amendments are
now being made. II Is significant,
however. that some neutrals present
pfd the same suggestions that were
brought out by criticisms In America
II political view is taken Of the
situation. II all depends on where
you sit Either the republicans have
gained their points in getting the
amendments they demanded. or
President Wilson has merely sensed
