NO FEAR POLICE OF: FIRE DEPT.
 WILL STRIKE

Careful consideration of the high cost of living and the fixing of fire mems and policemen's salaries in pro- portion to this cost has put aside all fear of a strike in either department, according to statement made by fire and police commissioners to the members or the Kiwanis club at the organizations weekly luncheon in the StratGeId yesterday.
 The club discussed the policemen's strike which is now in progress in Boston, and the members went on record as being opposed to any such strike as the Boston police are now conducting. Inasmuch as the local policemen and fremen are satisfied with their present wage scale there seems to be no reason to believe that Bridgeport will be called upon to face a strike in either of these depart ments.
 Rev. William Horace Day was the principal speaker at the meeting. He spoke of the United States Constitu- Gou, and the effect which it's adOp- ton has had both in America and Europe The constitution was formally adopted 132 years ago. Raymond w. Shaw, formerly of the First Bridgeport National bank, was pre- zentcd with a travelling bag by the club

Wilson Warning of Need to Decrease Living Cost Was
 Given Six Weeks Ago.

Washington, Sept 19-Six weeks ago President Wilson urged Congress at once to help put through pro gram to reduce the cost of living. Not d single emergency measure has been passed in final form, and there is little chance for any to go through before Oct. 1.
 The House passed tho bill amend ing tho Food Control Act speedily, but tho Senate delayed it's passage and burdened 1t with amendments that promise further conference de lays. Republican leaders hope 10 throw responsibility on tho President by saying he Was not in Washington to sign the bill hiding the fact that lac did no, leave for h.s speech maE- ing tour until nearly four weeks af- ter he sent his message to Congress.
 Prices continue high on many com modi5ies. proItuers are beginnins g 10 outgrow their first fright, enCour- aged by Congress. A bill appropriat- ing funds for publicity work 10 in form the people about supplies and prices has been cut so the information cannot be collected. Funds have been allowed to the Department of Justice for prosecutions, but much of these must be turned to the enforce mcut of Wartime Prohibition. Passage of the bill by tho House is hoped for this week.
 The cold storage bill is far from being reported to the House from the Agricultural Committee. A sub committee today tentatively agreed on certain disputed provisions. T. is doubtfnI if tho biu will ba of any rc-l benefit 10 the consumer because it win not provide means for inform atl0u a1 +o prices The marking re- uul-ed will be placed only on original package going into storage for inter state commerce. After these have boon rroEr1 mp and distributed among wholesalers and retailers there i8 nothing to guide inc purchaser. Members Of thc committee assume that supplementary Legislation regu- rr-srr Dricas must be enacted by st-tc Legislatures.
 The sub-comrnittce agreed that Cv- c-ythfur going into cold storage UYs- hr marked whether it remains % lon g or shrvt time. Tho bill as previously considered permitted storage for 90 days before commodities had to be marked
 Chrfrr1ar Hauren pointed out to- day that tho only way Congress can roach thc retailer and help the con sumner is through the power of taxa lion. Tnis cannot be done, he said, because it involves the setting up of too much machinery.
 The subcommittee also decided that tho Secretary of Agriculture might require quarterly reports and rfbrrs4 -s 1ap-rpF necessary. Packers and cold st0rIge people wanted monthly reports and Inspections The e,-Ib-COmuittcr Es undecided as how to SpfzDo foods Some members fl- vor writing into the law the various items to bo considered ag food, but others declared this might not leave enough discretion 10 the authorities who will enforce tho law

Motorists Able To
 Send Cars Across
 Sound By New Ferry

An announcement of importance to motorists is made by the Marine Op- arauug Co. which recently estab- Iisled a new ferry service between Bridgeport and Port Jefferson. to tho effect that service will be continued all winter on this line and the ferry between New Rochelle and Sea Cliff. The Rye-Sea CHT line continued its five round trips daily until Sept. 15, when it was shifted to New Rochelle for three round trips daily on week days and five on Sundays The week day schedule will be New Rochelle every four hours, beginning at 9 Q. m, and Sea CliG every four hours be- ginning at 10 9. m., and on Sundays every two hours from each end, odd hours from New Rochelle, even hours Sea Cuf
 The three-deck steamer NorlOnd running on the BrIdgepOrr-JOrt lief fcrs0ne line, has already begun her fall and winter schedule, leaving Bridgeport at 9 a. m. and 9 D. m., and Port Jefferson at noon and 6 D. m. The NorIond was formerly a Great Lakes steamer and has been reconstructed so as 10 take automo- piles through it's ends the same as the ordinary ferrybOat. The vessel has a Capacity of 10 automobiles and ,00O passengers. She is commanded by Captain Victor Wright, who was for l6 years steamboat inspector at New Haven. and will be able to cross the sound when the average boat would be swamped.
 Extensive plans are being made for the 1920 ferry service on Long Island Sound by the Marine Operating Co.,, which has just purchased the three iron ferryboats James Nj. Waterbury, Ncwtown and Jamaica, belonging to the Nassau Fcrryhoat Co.,, which operated in the East River between Houston street, New York, and Grand street, Brooklyn. up to the beginning of this year. The James NJ. Water bury has been rebuilt with an upper deck and her name changed to Rye Be AGh and is now in the service be- tween Rye and Sea Cliff in place of the Hugucnot which recently broke her shaft. Next year the Rye Beach will be run between Rye and Oyster Bay, the HuguenOL will run between Rye and Sea Cliff The name of the Howtowl will be changed to Sta-1- ford and she will be run between Stamford and Oyster Bay, while the Jamaica will be renamed New Ro- chelle and operated between New Rochelle and Sea CIin. With the Bridgeport ferry. this arrangement will make five routes across Long Island Sound available for motorists.

Summary.

in closing, the booklet sets forth Americas obligations in the recon struction of Europe, saying:
 America stands in position of pe- culiar responsibility respecting the work of reconstruction in Europe The situation there, without reference to our national interests as involved in the recent war, calls for America s help. We have a great fund of val uable wealth, and Europe has need of the credits and materials which we can supply. Our productive equip ment is much greater than before the war and it's proper utilization will in volve distinct recognition of the present needs of the peoples who sac rificed more than we in winning the common victory.
 'stupendOus as are Europe's finan- cial burdens, titanic as are its eco homie tasks, one of it's paramount problems is essentially psychological In order to recover rapidly from the effects of the war, Europe needs quite as urgently as it requires ma chinery and raw materials a revival of industrial wiH-pOwer. We should remember that. in the final analysis the products of the mines. fields, and factories won the war and that they alone can win the greater victory of peace. It is for the purpose of en- abling Europe to obtain sufficient quantities of these vital products and to regain her industrial wIlI-power that we must do our full duty in the present world crisis.
 ''The United States is abundantly equipped to perform it's proper func- ton in the peace era. This country produces 90 per cent. of the worlds supply of gold; 25 per cent. of the worlds supply of wheat; 40 per cent. of the worlds iron and steel; 40 per cent. of the worlds silver; 50 per cent. of the worlds zinc; 52 per cent. of the worlds, aluminium; GO per cent of the worlds cotton; 66 per cent of the worlds supply of oil; and 75 per cent. of the worlds corn. This country refines so per cent. of the worlds copper, and operates 40 per cent. of the worlds railroads.
 "But most valuable of all. the stimulus which the dire necessities of war supplied to American inventive ness. resourcefulness productiveness, courage, and spirit of adventure, con- stitutes a national asset which not only transcends the bounds of mater ial computation but challenges the boIdest imagination. In brief, Ameri- can genius. efficiency, and common sense must aid our gallant Allies in achieving the still greater victory of peace"

 Belgium.
 Belgium's case is unique in that the country was almost completely over run by the enemy, although the sud- den invasion hindered mobilization to such an extent that the depletion of man-power was less, proportionateIy. than that experienced by any other belligerent nation.
 The proved industrial capacity and dependable character of the masses of the Belgian workers are the na- tion's best assets in the present erner- gency. The record of the nations achievements in the past and it's quiet and confident grappIing with present difficulties are the surest guarantee that Belgium can and will conquer in peace as she did in war
 Italy.
 The definite completion of Italian unity as a result of the recent war aHords Italy the first opportunity to use the country's economic resources freely in the creation of a modern industrial system. This achieve ment has been made at great cost to the Italian people of course. While greatly increased, at the same time the country's economic power has been enhanced.
 The debt of Italy on March 31. 1919, including paper money was $ 3,079, ,91S,SO7, of which about three fourts was internal The external debt, amounting to S3,33O,I41.7S4. consisted entirely of credits extended during the war by the United States Government and Allies. The pre- war debt was approximately $2.G31.- 146,O00. The annual interest on the entire debt as of March 31. 1919, is approximately $577,234,23O."
 Following a detailed discussion of industrial changes brought about in Italy by the war, the booklet says:
 "Italy is well situated to serve as the principal entre port between the Far East and Central and Southern Europe. Italians with their historic legacy of maritime supremacy and their proved initiative will not fail to avail themselves of the opportunity to develop Italian industry and com merce."
