WARNS AGAINST
 STRIKE ACTION
Gen. Dickman Forbids Them in Occupied Area
 Violations Punished.

Cob1enz, April Unable to obtain Germans to work voluntarily on sev- eral of the Third Army supply depots whcih are under construction near Bendorf, American military authori- ties requisitioned three hundred la borers through the German civil of fcials. The men will be paid nine marks a day, with the privileges or receiving half this amount in food, if desired.
 Owing to the difficulties encounter ed in obtaining volunteer worknen and because of several minor labor disturbances recently among civilians employed under American supervis- ion, General Dickman, commander of the American army of occupation, to- day issued a warning against strikes. This proclamation, which has been circulated throughout the occupied area, says that all laborers volun- tariIy in the service of employers en- gagged in work for Americans, or working for the army, under requisi- ton or otherwise, are forbidden to join in any conspiracy or plan to at tempt or carry out any scheme to srtike or abandon work" It an nounces that "any violation of this order will be punished by American military tribunals"

NOW IS TIME
 FOR RESULTS
President Willing to Take Share of Blame For
 Delay.

Paris, April 1-President Wilson today explained that he was willing to accept his share of responsibility for the Peace Conference delays He was careful to point out that the slow ness of the negotiations was not due to any single country or it's represen- tatives.
 He declared emphatically, how ever, that the time for talk was vir- tually finished and that now was the time to show results.
 Notwithstanding the delay in reaching an agreement on the pre- lininary peace treaty, Premier Lloyd George, the Paris edition of the Lor- don Daily Mail says, does not in tend to return to England before the the questions are adjusted in spite of his desire to attend the closing meet ing of the British labor conference"
 Commenting on the six amend ments to the covenant of the Leag of Nations suggested by EHhu Root, it was stated today by one of the legal specialists associated with the American Peace Conference delegates that he believed all the amendments were acceptable to the American delegation.

SUBMITTED BILL
 FOR S513,OOO
President of Land Go Denies Dealings With
 Japanese.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 1.---Sup- plementing his denial last night that the California Mexico land and cattle company which owns and operates q tract of S30,0OO acres in Lower Cali forniar contemplated any leases or other arrangements with Japanese that were not first approved by the state department at Washington, Harry Chandler, president of the company, said today that his com pany had submitted a bill of $513, 900 for loss of cattle, horses and other supplies in the Madero revolution.
 We have had no difficulty with the government of Lower California, since Esteban Cantu came the real military chief and remained in civil author ity," said MT. Chandler, but in rev. ollutionary days it was a different story After the Madero revolution, when there were a number of small revoIutionist chiefs through that sec tion, the cavalry was mounted on our horses, the cavalrynen were riding on our saddles, the wagon trains were using our wagons, and generally they took what they fancied. We submit ted a bill of S513, 900 for loss of cattle, horses and other supplies in the Ma dero revolution, and the bill is still in process of adjustment with the Mexican government

BLOCKADE HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED
Foch Leaves Paris Tonight to Meet Erzberger
 At Spa.

London, April 1-Re egarding a re- port published in the morning news papers that the blockade of the Cen tral Powers had been raised general ly last week, the blockade departm ent of the foreign office explains that the blockade was lifted from German Austria, but not Hungary. In the case of the Adriatic, the Allies rais- ed the blockade sometime ago, but the Italian naval blockade remained in force until few days ago.
 As far as Germany is concerned, it was added, the blockade has been changed to the extent of sending food supplies there under Allied control.
 Paris, April 1-Documents in pos session of the French and Rumanian governments, the newspapers say, prove that the advent of the Com munist regime in Hungary was due largely to a maneuver of Count Kar- oIyi in collaboration with the Ger man government. The movement was aimed directly at the Allied powers, 1t is added.
 Marshal Foch will leave Paris to- night for Spa to meet Matthias Erz- berger to discuss with him the Allied demand that Polish troops be per mitted to use the port of gDanzig. The marshal has received full powers to negotiate with the German represen- tatives. He will be in constant com rnunication with the Council of Four.
 The Inter-Allied shipping commis- sion has completed preparations to transport the Polish troops to Danzig.

SAMOAN CHIEFS

Withdraw Petition For Transfer to American
 Rule.

Tutuila, American Samoa, March 31-British Samoan chiefs withdrew today their petition requesting trans fer to American rule. They expessed dissa tisfaction only with conditions unde Colonel Logan. fomer admins trator. Colonel Tate, his successor, conciliated them and gained their confidence.
 Native chiefs of Western Samoa, under British rule, were reported early in March as dissatisfied with the British administration. They were represented as favoring transfer of the islands of Opolu and Savaii to Ameri- can jurisdiction. The agitation fol- lowed the influenza epidemic, which exacted a heavy toll of lives in the British section but did not reach the American territory, which was quar- antined against # with great strict ness.

About 50 workmen had clambered upon the platform near a vacant ship way in order to get a good view of the launching. This toppled over and all the men fell in the river.
 As far as known all were rescued ex cept four, three of them being foreigners employed in the laboring gang.
 The coroner today abso1ved the shipbuilding company from blame for the accident. He said the men were on the platform in violation of the rules of the company forbidding any enploye from using it.
 }
 Estimates early today of the. num- Der of persons drowned or killed in the collapse of a lightly constructed patrol bridge fronting the ship ways of the Merchants Shipbuilding Cor poration at Harriman, near here,. dur ing the launching of a freighter yes terdayy, ranged between five and twenty. About a score were injured, none of them seriously.
 After working throughout the night divers had recovered but four bodies and some officials expressed the be- lief that not more than one or two others had lost their lives. While be- tween fifteen and twenty persons were known to be missing, these off cia1s said they felt confident that most of them would be located later in the day. Others, however, fear that many of the missing were drowned and their bodies washed down stream. Plant officials said it virtually would be impossible to check up the list of victims as the estimates of the number on the bridge varied. The actual death toll, they added, may never be known. It is believed that most of the drowned were employees at the yard.

 FOR ONE MAN CARS
Before Traffic Committee Bridgeport Manufacturer Advocates Better Trolley Service, or Means to I'm prove the Service Provid- ed by Jitneys.

Strongly advocating the in creased use of the Birney or One-man type of trolley car in Bridgeport, so as they should run on all lines going parallel to jitney lines, Walter B. Lash ar at hearing of the report of the traffic commission before the Streets and Sidewalks, Or dinance and Miscellaneous committees of the Common Council, last night said he knew of several men who would be willing to finance a municipal car trust and that he himself would give S50,000 to bring ears to Bridgeport.
 MT. Lashar at the meeting held in the Common Council chambers de- 1Iounced the Connecticut company, and the six-cent fare rate, and placed himself on record as being heartily in favor of the five cent ride system.
 CllS 4LLlpOL G2lLI NilEAI1t1S WILLS 4ILtDNl0 LII the new traffic regulations in adda- tion to several minor amendments. The new insertion is regarding the parking of automobiles and will do away with the nuisance now in vogue in both corners of Main street and Fairfield avenue. It provides that no automobiles should be parked on Fairfield avenue between Harrison and Water street or on Main street between State and Golden Hill streets. Jitneys and other automobiles will be allowed to stop long enough to let pas SenEers off or take them on and must then proceed on their way.
 Nr. Lashar said 1t was through the efforts of the traffic commission that the one man trolleys had been sent to this city by the government. He said more of the cars were LAHeded but they should not be allowed on one line. They save money and labor," said the fnancier.
 In closing his address the Bridge port manufa cturer said: eff we can't get servcie from the trolley company then the common council should pass ordinances making jitney better and the service better and we can get ser vice from theTn."
 While MT Lashar's statements were taken by many to mean that he advo- rated the doing away with jitnev service by competition with good troll ley service at the five-cent fare, 1t was said to be because of his desire to i'm prove traffic conditions in the city.
 George Eames. also member of the traffic commission, spoke in a, sim ilar strain to MT. Lashar. Alderman BlakesIee and McManus were right on deck with several questions which they had answered to their satisfac- ton.
