 A CONSTITUTION
Date of Assembly Not Fixed Because Many Delegates
 Are Still in Custody.

Dublin, Jan. 10.---A constituent as- sembly the date of which has not yet been fixed, will determine the terms of constitution for Ireland. Sim Fein plans for the assembly are de- layed because 34 of those recently elected to the British Parliament are in jail.
 The Sim Feiners ar} confining their activities at present to securing the release of these members, and many meetings are being held throughout Ireland demanding that the impris- oned ones be set free. It is rumored that the government will soon re- lease them. Nationality, the leading Sim FTein organ, says diplomatic con- alterations may prove effective, but if the demand is ignored, the Irish people must act in way the British government cannot ignore"
 The peace conference" it contin- ues, assemblies Monday. There is no time to be lost. The National Assem- bly, must act at once' a,
 The paper urges that the British in stitutions in Ireland be taken over by the Irish and those who cannot be prevented from carrying on their work must be captured. It declares ty councils should be persuaded to retire, adding:

SO.DELEGATES
 AT CONFERENCE
Baruch and Mccormick Will Be Called on For
 United States.

Paris, Thursday, Jan. e.---There will probably be 80 delegates at the peace congress, if the program presented to the delegates today tby the French government is approved by the Su- preme Council There will, in addi- ton, be extra delegates from most of the nations represented These will be called into the congress when spe- cial subjects upon which they are ex- perts are under consideration.
 Lord Hardinge, former viceroy of India; Sir Louis Mallett, British am bassador to Turkey, and Sir Esme W. Howard, British minister to Switzer- land, probably will appear for Great Britain as extra delegates. Bernard Baruch, Vance Mccormick and other specialists will be called upon by the United States peace commission. Changes in the plans hitherto con sidered were suggested today. They concerned, principally, the number of delegates to be given the smaller powers. Most of those which declared war on the Central Empires will have three. These nations are Greece, Ser bia, Portugal, Rumania, Brazil and China. Poland and Czecho-Slovakia will have two each. Countries which simply broke relations with either of ] the Central Powers will havev one delegate.
 , Neutrals will be represented when their special interests are taken up. The number of delegates to be ap- portioned to Germany, Austria, Bul- saria and Turkey will be decided later

BERGOLD GETS
 FULL AMOUNT
 FOR INCAPAC|TY Buckingham Allows Great est Amount Permitted By Compensation Statute. Powder Carrier Mangled
 In Explosion, March 21 Lost Arm by Amputation and Otherwise Injured He
 Asks For $5O,000.

Following an award of s4,34520 to William Bergold Of this city, for injuries sustained while employed as . powder carrier at the Remington Arms U. NJ. c. Co. on March q, 1918, Compensation Commissioner Edward T Buc. kingham today made public the facts connected with the Cass. In his memorandum of the proceedings MT. Buckingham praises the Remington Company for it's fair ness in dealing with the claimant and explains Bergold's demands which caused the case to drag until a recent Gate. The award given Bergold is the fuh amount allowable for total iTcapaci,ation for the salary he was receiving, under the compensation laws of Connecticut
 Bergold lost his left arm by ampu- tatton and a certain amount of the use of his right arm and limbs as the result of an explosion on March 21, 1916. He was carrying a container filled with a illuminate mixture. This he accidentally dropped, causing the explosion.
 After preliminary hearings on the cause an agreement was reached be- tween Bergold and the Remington company and the injured man receiv- ed $l,26S.8S. On the same day he was re-employed by the company as a guard and worked until April 2S. 1917, when he left of his own ac- cord. During this time his salary ranged from $16.5O to $21 per week and despite the fact that he was ab- sent from his work for total of 167 days he was given full pay. AS soon as he resigned his position as guard the Remington company started pay ing him compensation with weekly payments and up until the present time he had received $850.78 in addi- ton to the $1,266.88 previously awarded.
 After his final resignation in 1917 Bergold commenced writing a series Of letters to both Compensation Com missioner Buckingham and the I,em- fngton Arms Co. in which he demand ed that compensation be paid him In
 
 amount be somewhat in excess of s5O,0O0.
 Several subsequent hearings were held in which 1t was explained to Bergold that this amount was far above what he could receive under the law. The Arms company at that time agreed to pay the balance of | s2,227.62 due Bergold in a lump sum, but he demanded more
 Finally he was examined by physi- clans who said that he was 1ncapaci- l tated for life and also that he was ! suffering from mental depression as a result of his belief that he was en- ! titled to a large sum of money. His mental condition was looked into by ! Drs. Eli B. Ives and David B. Wasop 1 of this city and when he was declar- ed to be in a sound mental condition i Commissioner. Buckingham ordered the balance due him paid. This the Remington Arms company has done and thus ended rather peculiar casa

The teachers claim that instead cf talking on specific points MT. Nor rison has given them nothing more than generalities Far from being satisfied the teachers are up in arms against MT. Morrison and the edu- cational bill before the legislature.
 The first of the mystical seven points of the "real' code is to codify the laws relating to education. Codi- dcation is a mere matter of bringing all the laws that relate to schools to- gether In one publication where they can he conveniently read. Anybody can do it. There is nothing that calls for speeches and a loud public noise about that The teachers view this point, therefore. as an interest ing bit of thin camoufage.
 According to the teachers an in- crease in revenue for the schools of Bridgeport has always been obtained when their expansion demanded if; and they can't see where this point means any more than the others.
 Securing uniformly good schools las always been the aim of the Bridgeport Department of Education and why MT. Morrison brings this message to Bridgeport is a mystery to the teachers
 MT Morrison's words on distribut-
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-01-10

Ing and rationing justly the burden of cost is in the minds of local teach CTS a good example of generalities. They believe that if MT. Morrison meant to say that Bridgeport should contribute more to Monroe or Trum- bull, or some other place he should have said so.
 The assistant Superintendent's s point on developing 8 more effective body of teachers in Bridgeport is out of place, as it is pointed out that Bridgeport has a training school for that purpose and is continually de- veloping a more effective and eff1- Cient body of teachers.
 The point to provide more men teachers IS looked on in Bridgeport with suspicion. It is wondered if this is not scheme of MT Morrison own mind to obtain a large male teaching force, that he can be su- pervisor over at an increased salary.
 ITO secure the adoption of a certain program for school work Is MT. Nor rison's last point, and this is said to be as useless as the others"
 All in all MT. Morrison is looked upon by the teachers of Bridgeport, much Gs farmer would look at a city chap with a huge gold brick un- der his arm.

Foundation Of Actual Peace
 Congress Will Soon Be Laid
Representatives of Allied Nations Arriving Late
 Delay Meetings. EXPECT BRITISH
 ON SATURDAY Wilson Will Give Congress Full Report of What Has Been Accomplished.

Paris, Jan. 10-After nearly a month of waiting and pre- paration, conversations which will lay the foundation of the actual peace congress are about to start. American dele gates feel that a great deal of progress might have been made before now if a full rep resentation of the nations al- lied against Germany had ar rived promptly.
 The British plenipotentiaries now are expected to arrive Saturday. As many of the principal questions to be threshed out in a preliminary confer ence concern most intimately the United States, Great Britain and France, there is some hope of faF headway being made while awaiting the official announcement of the full Italian delegation and the arrival of the Japanese representatives. The Belgians will arrive next week.
 The first few conferences between the Americans. French and British will probably develop just how much progress may be expected before President Wilson goes home next month It Is settled that when he reaches America, one of his first acts will be to address Congress and give. a report on what has been accom- plished. Some American diplomats here agree that the most Mir. Wilson can hope to report will probably be a general undertaking of the widest sort upon a set of principles which must be left to be applied by the peace congress. Physical conditions alone will probably prevent the ac- complishment of more than this dur ing the remaining six weeks of his stay.

 With the exception of the fighting just described the city has been quieter than on any day since Sun day
 The followers Of Dr. Karl Lieb- knecht have issued their Red Flag from q private plant. The edition contains the following, addressed to the readers of the sheet:
 The bourgeois and majority so- cialist newspapers in a number of places have been closed or changed into organs of the revolutionary pro letariat, which realizes that the pow erfu1 agitation and propaganda agency which the bourgeois has pos sessed in its press must be paralyzed or taken from it''
 The inner city has been compara- lively quiet during the past twelve hours. The presence of strong and numerous attachments of government troops patrolling the downtown streets has had a reassuring effect. Occa- sional shots fired as a warning have resulted in the dispersal of crowds of curious.
