Chairman Henry $. Tallard of the United States Employment Service Bureau In this city has telegraphed the results of his survey of the labor situation in this city for the past week to the central headquarters at Wash ington.

There is an anticipated increase for the coming week of 4S hands. which will bring up the total working force to IS more than one week ago today.
 Chairman Tallard's figures follow: Numb Der employed in the second dis trict factories on February 3, 5,507; number employed February 10, 25,- ATT; decrease, 30; number anticipat- ed for coming week, 25,525; increase. 48. The cause of the decrease is the fact that the Bristol factories have not been increasing their working forces in the past week as much as in the preceding weeks.

BELGIANS OPPOSE
 LIFTING OF DUTY
Want All Freight for Germany
 to Be Taxed

Paris. Feb. 10 (By The Associated Press. )-The commission on ports, waterways and railways of the peace conference met today with pr. Silvio Crespi. of Italy, in the chair. Eng land, supported by America, proposed the proclamation of the principle of complete liberty of transit to every country on equal conditions to all. This proposition was opposed by AL bert Claveille, for France, and Lam bros A. Coromilas for Greece, who pointed out that England and America occupied special situations that made the question of commercial land transit insignificant for them.
 The commission appointed two sub- commissions-one to study the ques- tion of the control of ports, waterways and railroads, and the other the ques- ton of liberty of transit. The first commission has approved of the prin- cip1e that no country may charge duties on goods passing through it's ports or over it's railways or water ways other than the freight rates paid on goods destined for the country It. self. Neither may they levy on such goods customs or local taxes.
 Belgian delegates protested aSalnSI allowing freight destined for GeP1nah ports to pass through their territory exempt of duty, thus helping the pros perity of Germany. They clalmed' also, that such measures should De taken as would make navigation or the ScheIdt River free for Belgium. The Czecho-Slovaks and Poles insisted on having ports of their own, the for mer on the Adriatic, and the latter on the Baltic. M. Coromilas proposed to give them, respectively, at Trieste and Danzig the same privileges that Greece granted to Serbia at Saloniki, where Serbia has part of the port and enjoys territorial rights. The Czecho-SloVakS and Poles consider this proposition an insufficient guarantee, and definite de- cision was postponed.
 The commission agreed that naVlga- ton of the Rhine and Danube should be free to all countries bordering on them, or through which these rivers pass. The Rhine passes or borders Switzerland, Germany, France and Holland, and the Danube holds the same relation to Germany, Austria, . Bohemia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Rumania
