 The committee also adopted a pre- amble to the reservations providing that the treaty should not become eff fective until three of the other prin- ctpal allied and associaed powers had agreed to the Senate's reservations This. too. was opposed by the admin istration Senators.
 The four reservations approved re- lated to Article Ten, the Monroe Doc trine withdrawal and domestic ques- tions. On most of the roll calls the division was eleven to six, all of the Republicans and Senator Shields, Democrat, Tennessee, voting in the affirmative.
 The reservation adopted relating to Article Ten was identical, except for the transposition of one phrase, with the one which President Wilson an nounced on his western trip that he would be obliged to regard as a re- jection of the treaty"

 The law fixing the date for making voters does not permit or sanction the preliminary" sessions and there is serious doubt in the minds of a number of the best legal authorities in Bridgeport if any voter examined on Oct. 23 and Oct. 24 can legally be
 made without complying with the full requirements of the law on the

 There is nothing in the regulations which will prevent the transfer of card from one person to another and the use of a card by selectmen for such purpose opens the way for any kind of fraud. Inasmuch as no

 Asked if he would enter charges against men who violated the city charter and rules of the deparrnenl by elecuOneering for the Republican n ticket, Superintendent Redgate made the same reply as. is credited to him in answering the question above.

Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium-met here today at the opening session of a three days "clinic" to diagnose in ternationaI trade ills and prescribe for their cure.
 StabiHzation of foreign exchange is, perhaps, the most vital topic up for consideration. One delegate put it: ''We must stabilize exchange or we won't have any foreign trade at all Europe needs vast quantities of raw materials, semi-finished as well as finished goods, and the United States as the storehouse of the world must extend credit to put Europe back Upon an industrial buying basis
 Two recommenda tions will be made at the conference, among others, for the stabilization of exchange, one Of an international currency" and the other for a guarantee by American banks of foreign railroad and indus trial securities to encourage their purchase by American investors.
 Tt is not generally known, said one delegate, that the woolen indus try of northern France, before the war, competed for prominence with the great silk industry in the south Enormous supplies of raw wool and machinery will be needed to re-es- tablfsh the ruined or destroyed French textile mills. It is one of the big problems in the rehabilitation oi France. The power fuel situation 1n France, Italy and Belgium is also pressing. Authorities say the world faces a coal shortage of 7O,OO0,OO0 tons. England and America will dis tribute wisely their available export sunnlH.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 22-Possibility , of division Tn the Protestant Epis- copaI Church was brought to the at tention of the trienniaI general con- ventiOn here again yesterday during a fight on the floor of the House of Deputies against the acce eptance of a prayer for the blessing of graves.
 Thomas Nelson Page, former Unit ed States Ambassador to Italy, de- nouncing the adoption of prayers for dead, sWayed the delegates to such an extent that the prayer objected to was rejected. Before you know it you will find your church divided" he said. Better be divided than that we be led into paths we know not The gentlemen of Prayer Book revis- to consider anything touching the doctrines of this church.
 MT. Page introduced a resolution questioning the commission as to it's authority to touch the church doc trines in it's work of revision and ask ing whether such changes had been made
 Broadening influences swee ping the clergy and membership of the church throw upon the organization an i'm pOrtant part in social democratiza- ton, according to bishops, priests and laymen who addressed a joint session earlier today. The man for church unity, it was maintained, is but a small part of the program.
 Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster of Connecticut, in an address outlining the stand of the church in this re- spect declared the social democratic trend may be traced to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are witnessing the end of an age of individualism and the coming of an age of social co-op- eration. In the new era the church has a duty
 church, Bishop Brewster suggested a stand for right and justice every where; living wages; the principle of collective bargaining; freedom of the individual worker from coercion; a part for the employed in the internal management of industry; a weekly rest day; stopping of exploitation of labor of women and children; pIac- ing economics on a broader human basis; rganization of industry which must be an end to autocratic mastership; and an end to paternal patronage in welfare work and req sonable relations of partnership be- tween capital and labor.
 The speaker voiced belief that al though the industrial conference in Washington might not accomplish that for which it was called, ''the trained minds of capital and labor will yet work out 9 just solution of their problems"

SECRETARY WILSON
 STILL HAS HOPE

Washington, Oct 22.-There was lit tie hope of averting by government mediation the strike of bituminous coal miners set for November 1 when representatives of the miners and Op- orators resumed today their joint conference with Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 While union leaders and operators were frankly doubtful of the success of coalition efforts, they readily agreed to MT. Wilson's request to meet again today after failure yes terday to reach an agreement. Both sides stood firm overnight.
 There were reports after the meet ing got under way that Secretary Wilson would attempt to hold repre- sentatives of the miners and opera tors here to appear before the Senate Committee Investigating the coal situation if the conference failed to settle the strike.
 Some of the miners were reluctant about attending the meeting in view of the statement yesterday by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, that he did not see the necessity of adjourn ing over until today in face of the stonewaII attitude of the operators. Secretary Wilson insisted. however, that the task was not hopeless.
 Just before noon Secretary Wilson was in separate conference with the operators representatives. The union committeeman were excused until 2:30 D. m, when the joint conference was to be resumed. No explanation of this move was made.
